I doubt that there will be any shooting. Everything is very controled there and they would never be able to trust anyone with a gun. Think sling shot or blow gun or snare.

Ipopum: Now that the statute of limitations is run out I can confess this! I was a young policeman in a large west coast city and had to serve my "time" in the "bad part of town". Only good thing about it was there was a Kentucky Fried Chicken store there and it was inundated with rats! Rats in the front, rats in the back and sometimes rats inside. The manager had tried the cities "Vermin Control" department but the rats relished chicken bones and chicken scraps and kept multiplying. One rainy late night we were doing paperwork on the two story parking garage adjacent to the KFC and I was stretching my legs outside the patrol car when I looked down from the garage roof and saw several rats scurrying about in the alley below. There was a three pound chunk of cement parking curb broke off and I fetched it and promptly dropped it onto the head of a chicken bone chomping rat! Instantly "Rat Bombing" was invented! On slow nights the squad would retrieve bricks and retreat away from the pimps and ho's for a bit to whack (bomb) a few rats. On motionless rats I got up to about 50% "kills" with a brick! Walking and running rats I am guessing I would hit 10% at most. We had to talk in code over the radio to relay when the rats were out and in what numbers. On my retirement cake down in the corner were the initials and number "R.B.1.". Over the 3 years I spent in that district I am sure I brought to bag about $450.00 to $600.00 worth of rats (Jakarta values!). Hold into the wind VarmintGuy

Not as hilarious as the fact that he got paid for it and is now drawing retirement from it, all at the expense of the taxpayers of that city.
