Oh I didn't say I would not, a 357 magnum makes quite an impression.

Some really good news for the people at Freedom Plaza today....

Their permit ran out last night, but the people planned to stay without the permits. Issue is, they are on federal property, so it would be the Park Police that did the arresting. They could already anyway, since the people have put up tents and are camping and sleeping there.... Against federal law...

So, the park police today offered them up to a 4 month extension on their permit Guess they figured it wasn't worth the bad publicity, along with probably causing more people to show up since they wouldn't be too happy, like what happened in NYC after all the arrests.

No...Mayor Cuomo is betting on the weather changing VERY soon.
That came straight from Steve Cohen's mouth 10 minutes ago.

One less thing to "protest" about.

Don't' get me wrong, I ain't a happy camper either. I could afford to go and protest for a month or two, the money isn't the problem.

My responsibilities are.

Now if I could dump them, I'd love to knock off for a couple of months. I'd go walleye fishing at Bull Shoals instead.

That's what the average protester doesn't understand. The average schmoe may agree with them on a lot of things, but when you get right down to it, the average schmoe and the average protester are as different as night and day.

The average schmoe has responsibilities. And when he can dump them, the last thing he wants is more grief.

And while they're not on the 6:00 news, the do carry a grudge.

That's what you need to tap into.

BTW: I just got a robo call from some asshole wanting to know if I'm feed up with the way things are, and if I want to do something about it.

I can't help but to see the humor it this.

They just called me, a born again malcontent, who happens to be drinking Boulevards with shots of Gentleman Jack, and happens to have a loaded Browning automatic lying on his desk.

Little do they know, but if I'm gonna start shooting sumbitches, it's gonna start with the sumbitches who are fucking up my good time.

Then I'll make a list.

Here in California I think tasers are legal with some training. They were probably approved by the liberal Assembly because they thought they were a sex toy.

When we get an Occupy The Vegas Strip, I might have to make an appearance.

Even the Wehrmacht was destroyed by the winter.

And they were some tough nuts. They didn't have a choice.

You need a license for a violet wand???

Here in Bugtussell, they fall under the "curio and relic" clause.

I think it's funny how the local governments of different states are conspiring against the protesters.
I hear they will be here on the 15th. Should be lots of guns & knives at this one.
