2 hrs.?
That nut-whack would've lasted about 2 mins. here (FLA). "Bubba the Sheriff" doesn't mess around! We've had 3 cops shot (2 killed) in the last month. They're pretty ansty right now.
On the other hand, we don't have a huge homeless population as you do in Calif. (I couldn't believe the "homeless city" in downtown Los Angeles when I was visiting a few years ago). Why? Most soup-kitchens are deemed "illegal" by the zoning department. There are a few in some churches, but even they get heat from the City Commission. If you don't feed them, they go away, I guess.
