We just came out of Sarah’s favourite Spanish David Jones. Again.
There’s a security guard at the door. Always was. No surprise there.
What did surprise me, however, was that today’s guard is armed.
It wasn’t the gun I noticed first, it was the belt. Now I expect a kitted out mall cop to have something like this Bat-utility belt…
What I did NOT expect to see was this…
For some reason I thought of the poet laureate of Australia, Mr James Jefferies Esq.
To quote from a rather famous live performance,…
“The average security guard in America earns $16 an hour. Not a lot of wiggle room to be a fucking hero! Someone comes onto the school and… [Mimicking machine gun] And you’ve got Kevin. Now, I’m sure Kevin’s shit-hot at Call of Duty, but it might not fucking cut it, ladies and gentlemen.”
I can’t see a case where a Kevin or a Barney Fife even draws his gun, let alone carries spare bullets on his belt. And aren’t the bullets normally in a clip these days, so that real police can carry spares without looking like Wyatt Earp, or taking 10 minutes to reload!!
Probably an Eastwood fan.
Armed guards! Scary 😁
