Reg,
Nice creche you have there! I recognize Batman The Dark Knight Angel and Deanna Troi and William Riker as Mary and Joseph.
In real life Sci-Fi and comic book realms, I don’t think Bruce Wayne would be a flunkie for JHVH-1, since JHVH-1 let Waybe’s parents get murdered.
And Troi and Riker would not appreciate getting raped and cuckolded by The ‘Q’ Continuum, whether respectively, in reverse, or together! YIKES!
I recognize The Darth Vaders as The Three Kings, but who is the fourth one? Darth Vader is an apt choice for Persian power-brokers who could be quite cruel like Haman. His evil has me all Agag!
And who are the Shepherds, Sheep, and The Little Drummer Boy? Is the brunette Shepherd Jackson Browne, who sang for Peace on Earth against nuclear arms, but couldn’t keep peace in his own house?
And who is Baby Jesus? He looks like Baby Sinclair from the ABC TV show Dinosaurs! Gotta love him!🦖😁
Void Bless Us, Every One! 🌌
Reg,
Were the Jesus “holes” you sold anything like Krispy Kreme Doughnut Holes, only made with the same consecrated flour as The Host? 😁
The City of Gastonia was not named after the dinosaur, but does share two traits with the extinct great lizard species: It is fossil-frozen in time and has brains the size of chickpeas. 😁
Going further on problems of police tech: How does gunfire detection distinguish between actual gunshots and automobile backfire or a spring-loaded slamming screen door? Would auto engines, airplanes, or helicopters or sonar devices produce audio interference with the detector? And could it detect different calibers of ammo or gunfire with silencers or suppression by a pillow or a plastic soda bottle? And couldn’t echos off of buildings, trees, or mountains misdirect the detector?
And would Microwaves from an oven or something as simple as aluminum foil or aluminum siding in the trailer park interfere with the signal of ankle bracelets, like they do with radar and Wi-Fi smart devices?
These are technical problems which have nothing to do with racial discrimination, but still argue against using these devices as a crutch. If the company marketing this technology couldn’t answer these questions, I say no City or County contracts for them!
