The Sheriff of LA County is telling the citizens to be vigilant and on the lookout for a crime surge. Yes, that would be the same sheriff that released over 4000 convicted criminals out onto the streets to “keep them safe”. In LA, the safety of the criminal far outweighs the safety of the people.

Professor Paul is going to teach you how to make Ballistic Lemonade during our Brownell’s Bullet Points segment. What had the Professor been doing out in his new workshop? Let’s find out.

Also, during our SOTG Homeroom segment, we remind you to be dangerous on demand. A Florida criminal, released to keep him safe from COVID-19, is now back in jail after being released and then committing murder. Yet again, the state has failed the people. It is up to you to keep your family safe.
