Will not end well. The more aggressive towing companies in Atlanta send their operators out in pairs, wearing mirrored sunglasses, body armor and carrying sidearms like they're mercenaries. You're outmanned and outgunned.

It's like they know they're engaged in business that might upset people or something.

The police, with all their training, still shoot civilians accidentally. I really wouldn't want to test the how-not-to-shoot-civilians training of some wannabe-Blackwater towing goon.



So they basically have an armed militia stealing from civilians, with the protection of the government. How did we handle this last time?
