A controversy was brewing in East Palo Alto Tuesday night after a police detective made apparently joking comments through his Facebook account saying “open carry” advocates who visibly carry guns in public should be shot. Now East Palo Alto has become a reluctant testing ground for a battle of constitutional amendments: one police officer’s ‘freedom of speech’ versus a group’s ‘right to bear arms.’ Area resident Adnan Shahab is an “open carry” advocate who frequently goes out in public displaying an unloaded gun on his belt. Such activity is legal in California with certain restrictions, such as staying clear of schools. Shahab said he was offended by Facebook remarks posted by East Palo Alto detective Rod Tuason. Tuason published a comment that said he agreed with a friend that open carry advocates should come to Oakland, Richmond and East Palo Alto and — in an apparent joke — said officers should shoot the advocates.

i just dont have much hope left for a legal political solution to these problems. during WWII, the italians solved their problems like this... in a just world, there'd be a thousand neocons hanging there with benito and clara... but that's kinda rough justice.
In a world where we're being, tased, shot, and otherwise, abused; isn't it about time, Claire? How much more?
well, that's the problem... the russian people endured this kind of treatment for hundreds of years, and i'm wondering if americans will be any different. the situation is gonna be radically different, especially if peak oil turns out to be the real thing... i guess, if it does turn out to be the real thing, then we can expect gas rationing, at gunpoint, as oil is reserved for use by the elite and their protectors. i dont know.

If they get us into another oil shortage, trust and believe me, it will be totally and completely contrived This planet is still awash in oil and natural gas.
