1. He should be in friggin jail
Edited on Sun Aug-14-05 03:03 PM by DoYouEverWonder
for threatening people with a weapon.

Does this guys property butt up to Bush's?

He's definitely a National Security threat.

4. Yes, he should be in jail, and another thing, this is a lot bigger
than just him having a problem with protestors near him property.

This is a movement to stop the bloodshed.

7. I wondered whether the SS had anything to say about this....
And didn't he call for other rednecks to join him for a weapons discharge fest? I'm sure the SS is thrilled by the prospect of THAT!

11. I agree he's a cantankerous nut that bears watching...but
the photos on the iconoclast website confirm he was firing a shotgun, not bullets. FIred in the air, the former is quite different in potential for injury than the latter.

I'm not defending him, but I do think it is important that we keep it in perspective. He apparently is fed up with the disruption to his quiet lifestyle and not specifically at the protestors.

Edited on Sun Aug-14-05 03:36 PM by hlthe2b

...if you fire a shotgun in the air, it will feel like pebbles raining down, but quite different than a bullet coming back on you.

55. There is an old saying, When in Rome,
expect to be among Romans. But don't expect the Romans to be happy to see you.

Never heard that saying? Probably not, I just made it up.

I think you are right, he's not mad at the people, just mad that they are where they are. I can empathize. I wouldn't like them camped in my ditch either. Where I live we feel we own the ditch we pay taxes on, as he feels they are in his ditch.

13. My BIL shot some guns in the air last July fourth
in Mcgregor, just a few miles from Crawford. The cops were called and he got a warning. So I know it isnt allowed. And my BIL was on his own property. I cant stand my BIL, and its too bad he didnt get arrested. My kids were there(with my ex)...

16. Couldn't this be a Rovian maneuver to drive people away?
It would completely circumvent any personal connection to George Bush, and leave the unmistakable impression that you just never know when he'll go off and ding someone!

to happen! He DOES sound the way you described him in this audio:

"I was just shooting at a dove. Please don't send me to the principal's office!"

Typical blustering blowhard. All tough talk and lame excuses. What a wuss.

41. He said it was a German community that had been there for 125 years
and had fought many fights. I assumed he was calling himself part of that community. But then I thought I heard him say he'd only been there for about six years, that he came there just about when Bush bought the pig farm. I don't get it.

I thought ditches on each side of a road were owned by the people who pay the taxes for the roads and drainage ditches? Is it different in Texas? What an ASSHOLE!

49. In Texas, you own what you can scare others off from.
It's a way of life in the Davis Mountains, and along public waterways. Local constables are usually reluctant to take on landowners.

50. Oh, he was all over the place, spouting both the "my private property"...
... rant, as well as the "my taxes pay for that road" angle.

The man is either drunk, suffering demnetia, or just needs a nap. Whatever the case, he just made himself look like a fool on national television.

All his gun-totin' bravado just melted away into a bunch of whiny excuse-making. Probably wet himself before he made it back into the house.

60. Here is another pic of him
he was talking to my husband, and was handing him Christian literature. Husband in turn gave the literature to Diane..


And this is the same man arguing and cussing his Christian values and anger over parked cars near his property...He is ALSO the same man who allowed the Freepers to be in his driveway yesterday.
