Here is something for comic relief. Cops in Louisville, KY, were offered $5k to live in the areas they police:

I'm all for A2 but if the goons are polishin' up their DEWs we ain't got no chance--no amount've steel kin fight even a targeted pulse (as targeted individuals kin tell ya, sure). That said, anybuddy that falls fer the gun insurance scam--whull that's a racket (an' agreed, at their own peril).

One quibble that mebbe only applies ta NYShitty? Oh yes indeedy they did get physical (of course A2 laws are nearly razed in NY Schtadt) --

"On the other hand, as opposed to most other countries, no fines were imposed; "

nope--in NYSeize fines WERE imposed an' some folks got downright jailed or at least arrested! I think the fine was set at $100 for bein' unmasked, $1000 for fakin' a jab card the first time (more later?), an' biznesses were fined too if they didn't "card" entrants. Some got shut down! (A local bar we know of got closed another fella lost ownership of his own bar n' grill fer not wantin' ta hire jabbed-only wait persons). We also knew a local diner lady who let everybuddy in her place an' wouldn't card (even after police visits!)--So we an' friends bought stuff there (takeout, etc) even though we couldn't eat it (handed it direct ta homeless folks that didn't give a hoot 'bout gluten-free/grassfed/organic like we do!)--we did this jus' ta keep her in bizness an' express grattytude fer her servin' EVERYBUDDY! Did same for a bakery in the West Village (again' couldn't eat their wares) but they nearly were closed an' yup, they were fined up the yinyang too!

A couple on the Staten Island Ferry (older folks) were hauled off ta the pokey fer not wearin' masks--spent a few days in the slammer as didn't have the $$$ fer bail. A group've friends I knew (we all attended protests--an' yup I know naysayers say that did jack-all but we DID)--anywho--friends that went to restaurants sans "jab-pass" an' just set down unmasked an' refusin' ta show passed they didn't have (Empire as it wuz)--who also got hauled inta the station, photographed 'n "booked"--one've these wuz wheelchair bound so them optics stunk! an' they did it anyway! (they let'er go that evenin' so she didn't have ta spend the night)...

RE "enforcers were usually satisfied with shaming, threats, ...."

Not really, again, in NYSeize--I had security guards runnin' after me (shopping whilst unmasked...)--had the coppers been called I'd have a record an' not the 33rpm kind!

RE Physical violence was left out of the equation, and I’m sure you know why --

Nope, again, not in TheRottenApple--there were tackles an' some punchin' by authorities-in-charge we witnessed (not that it made the 6Oclock nooz). Also some "citizens" took the lawr inta their own hands but I'm not even countin' that--tho it wuz ENCOURAGED! Addin', however, that some men-in-blue (one we know) were not "with" such practices--usually the older more senior ones... an' bless 'em for that!

So ye were lucky down south but up north here'bouts they acted a bit like it wuz down under!!!
