Details are still scant, but…
“I mean, he had a lot of ammunition in that house, and certainly … all of us were strapped, you know, with ammunition, and we were calling for additional ammunition,” Kraus said. “Like I said, we tried to give him every opportunity to come out.”
…I’ll go way out on a limb and suggest that this could’ve been handled better.
Well part of my point is that ammo is very cheap. 1000 rounds of 22lr is like 100USD. Even 1000 rounds of 5.56/.223 (AR-15 ammo) starts around $500. Hence why I compared it to lattes and avocado toast. Cutting all that out doesn’t fix the cost of housing or slumping salaries.
Im speaking generally ofc, idk how much ammo this guy had. But more ammo than you could fire in 6 hours is cheaper than youd expect.
If you think 100 dollars is cheap then you probably shouldn’t be talking about the prices of necessities vs amenities. I bought gas today and now have less then 100 dollars to my name. I’m making it work, but don’t act like dropping that kind of cash to shoot at cops for a few minutes is cheap. Let alone a 6+ hours.
