Cool, let's get a group to walk into the Capitol Building carrying rifles and picket signs. Let the guards come up and say that signs are not allowed, comply with the order to discard them, and then walk around with the guns.

Phoebe: Yes, by all means. If, by the same token, whenever you and your stupid mouth-breathing kin celebrate the Fourth of July, we can call you "Misguided Patriots".
Because (please read this part slowly) the Iranians are celebrating the overthrowing of the U.S. puppet dictator, the Shaw of Iran.

Back in the 1960's the Black Panthers took legally purchesed guns into the California Assembly. None other than then Governor Ronald Reagan pushed for stricter gun control laws as a result.

@3: Even better, let's apply so much pressure that Governor Inslee has no choice but to mandate the unneeded expense and annoying hassle to have check points at all state office buildings!

@5: If you wish to reserve "... chanting 'Death to America'" (in the first paragraph) as an academic exercise in acknowledging historical context, it would be intellectually dishonest of me not to grant that. Therefore, I stand corrected and apologize for my remark.

It's funny how the gun nuts never cite the Black Panthers, who are arguably a strong example of why you need guns to protect yourself from the state.

Fifteen years is absurd for such a trivial offense as cutting a beard. A year of probation would be more sensible. After all, it must cost fortune to incarcerate somebody that long. Even if he spends only half that time in prison.

@12
But the crime was less about cutting a beard than violating people, and it sounds like causing terror, even though no one died. These were basically hate crimes, regardless of what one thinks about religion.

@8 & 10. YES, Yes indeed... Four Dead in Ohio... Some of today's militias are CIA training ops, unlike Panthers and Posse Comitatus groups who were armed to fight the system.

I think I'm comfortable with how this turned out:
A Bend woman was cited on assault and reckless endangering charges Thursday after a loaded .22-caliber Derringer pistol fell out of her pocket during a visit to McDonald’s and it fired, striking her husband in the abdomen police said.

Did I miss some epidemic of shootings in the state capital? Why would you ban something for law abiding people based on the fear of something that has never happened in the history of our state?
You guys and fearful scared psychopaths. You are scared of gun nuts cause inside, you know that if the positions were flipped, you might start taking people out. You people are who are scarey.

Yes, Phoebe, nationalism is a powerful force. It's the same force compelling all the jingoistic right-wing bed-wetters to screech for killing all the muslims.
Your apology is accepted nevertheless.

Crucifixion takes many forms; in times past, it was practiced not only by the Roman Empire, but by the Huns, and various other kingdoms, tribes and groups. It was state-sponsored murder.
Today in America, crucifixion takes the form of unethically, amorally and illegitimately incarcerating those who correctly rebel against the state (yes, I realize many uneducated and militantly ignorant Americans religiously believe they live in a "democracy").
Many respond to the vengeance extracted by Chris Dorner as amoral, because only the state is allowed to murder --- in their minds, that is!
It is permissible for pharmaceutical corporations to knowingly kill hundreds or thousands, to profit from wrongfully marketed drugs, and no one goes to jail for such horrendous murders.
It is permissible for major banks, such as that "venerable" British bank, HSBC, to launder illegal monies for drug cartels in the range of from one-quarter of a trillion dollars to one-half trillion dollars per year, for a period of around ten years or more.
Now imagine how many deaths, tortures, human trafficking, etc., along with untold other crimes, were aided and abetted by such actions on the part of the banks?
Again, Corporate State sanctioned murders, yet no one goes to jail, when many should be executed for such monstrous crimes!
We are repeatedly admonished by those cretins in the US Congress that humanism is obsolete, that they must act as faux crats and forever give in to the most ultra-rightwingers in congress!
And people wish to castigate any thoughtful critique of Chris Dorner, whistleblower now exacting revenge for the destruction if both his reputation, and his life!
They who do so are truly the mentally ill, the mentally deficient, the ultime sheeple!
When something terrible happens, people wake up!
Perhaps that is Dorner's true goal?
Yes, murder is murder, and a horrible crime --- but corporate state-sanctioned mass murder is routinely condoned in America and throughout the Western Hemisphere today.

And some of those illegally incarcerated:
Bradley Manning
Gov. Don Siegelman
Sue Schimtz
Shakir Hamoodi
John Kiriakou
Many, many activists/organizers preemptively arrested
Those four brave young people recently cited by Dom Holden, Brendan Kiley and others, at The Stranger.
Aaron Swartz, had he not committed suicide
and the list goes on and on . . . .

that's the Shah of Iran, not Shaw. unless, of course, he was the persian equivalent of that brilliant anglo-irish playwright, G.B. Shaw.

What? No mention of today's Grammy Awards?
I look forward to next year when Macklemore will garner a whole
armful of those babies!

Seems fair to have the kooks waving guns in the faces of the Leg instead of my face. Hope they enjoy it.
Did you get a load of the photos of those guys? I couldn't have picked better poster boys. Oh, and, and my god, the best part: Senator Pam Roach is their big star. And what is she saying? Do something about people with mental health issues!. Pam "No Contact Order" Roach, making a speech about mental health. I guess she ought to know.
Priceless.

Surprised sgt_doom hasn't said anything about DHS wanting a peek at every electronic device's data within 100 miles of a US border (see boingboing.net), without warrant, without suspicion. Real good freedom 'n' liberty in the real good USA! Can't really see how totin' a gun is going to protect a citizen from this gummint tyranny.

Scary Tyler Moore- Aack! Damnit, I knew that, and I am going to blame spell-check for that error.

Or perhaps all the medications and sedatives I am on. I mistakenly let Medical Science get ahold of me last week, and they are pumping me full of things with long, scary-sounding names. The wild dreams are an entertaining side-effect, though.
