We know what’s coming and we are prepared.

Adding on from a conversation with the Monument PD officer who referenced a bulletin the agency received as well as conversation with El Paso County deputies;
Callahan and El Paso County Sheriff's both doing shift change at 1600, going from a whopping 4 law enforcement officers in Northeast El Paso County to 0 for about a half an hour. Based on my observation Elbert County to shift change around then also.
Northeast Colorado Springs and Monument getting robberies and burglaries daily from both tweakers and Latin gangs impersonating food delivery, FedEx, and Amazon drivers. This particular officer lives in Elizabeth off County Road 13 and he's had Latino suspected gang members knocking on his door and then going around and checking the other doors and looking through the windows according to his security cameras.
All of El Paso County having vehicles broken into daily and the deputy recommended if we have a CCW and we leave our vehicle carry our gun don't leave it in the vehicle.
A cute little crime spree in southern Colorado Springs, Fountain, Security Widefield areas, where some group specifically went after law enforcement and military identified vehicles and estimates are at least 50 sets of plate carriers and helmets were stolen in a one week period.
Southeast El Paso County had incidents where Latino men were on dirt roads blocking them as if there's road hazard, sometimes putting out a cone or two, and then when people stopped they were ambushed from the right and left side and robbed. Advice given was if it does not look like official road crew with large barriers and large reflective signs to either push through people saying "stop there's a hazard" or if you could identify it early to stop turn around and go the other way, don't even take the risk of an ambush.
Overall theory from officer was that the cities have so much competition for crime territory that these people are coming out to the country to explore uncontested targets of opportunity.
MASSIVE 110-MILE-WIDE RINGS JUST APPEARED OVER OKLAHOMA
For nearly three hours, something unusual was showing up over Oklahoma.
Not in one location.
Not on a small scale.
These circular pulses stretched more than 110 miles wide and appeared repeatedly as storms developed across the state.
The rings were so large they could be seen spanning huge sections of Oklahoma at a time.
Perfect circles.
Expanding bands.

🇺🇦⚔️🇷🇺 Russia’s Gasoline Crunch Spreads After Refinery Attacks
Russia’s gasoline crunch is worsening, with at least two-thirds of the country’s regions introducing fuel rationing or suffering supply disruptions following relentless Ukrainian drone attacks on refineries.
On an almost daily basis, regional governors from areas bordering Ukraine to the Amur region near China are being forced to limit sales at filling stations and to try to deter panic buying. The scale of disruptions vary across Russia, but are intensifying and risk getting even worse if drone strikes increase.
Kiev targeted the oil-processing sector in recent months to curb fuel supplies and bring “the war home to Russia.” That has halted operations at several key refineries, pushed up pump prices for drivers, and even led to Russia banning jet fuel exports. On Tuesday, the government said it’s considering a full ban on diesel sales overseas. The inflationary impact could also be a further worry for the ...
