Pain and Fear. the two factors that have changed people sense the dawn of time. Pain to drill in the lesson, and Fear to ensure it stays there. And with Jack's skills and resources . . . those are not empty boasts . . . those are understatements!!

Knox, but does the perp, in that moment, have the ability to realize that? It's about creating FEAR, TERROR in the perp, so that he has no desire to test the boast.

2020-11-16 20:51:22 +0000 UTCSpeaking from experience -- I spent more than ten years as an armed guard in some nasty places -- there's a difference between proficiency and access. When I worked at a nuke plant, we had 12 gauge shotguns, but we couldn't walk around with them -- just .38 revolvers. The heavy equipment was kept in a locked armory, and you had to get on the radio and request a supervisor to open the armory. Don't hold your breath.
