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.
maybe you can explain what the oil companies were doing up in the arctic islands in the 1960s, looking for oil and gas when there was no way of getting the stuff to market. was that just another tax writeoff? does that mean that the global peak oil conspiracy has been going on for fifty or sixty years? why did american oil production peak? why, when the price of oil went up to nearly $150 per barrel, did production remain flat? why are oil companies spending hundreds of millions of dollars to drill wells 200 miles offshore, in two miles of water, and two or three miles of dirt under that, so distant from pipelines that they'll have to spend more hundreds of millions on plumbing, and then crow about discoveries that will only last the world a month? none of it makes sense if the world is "awash in oil". i'm really really sorry, but it doesnt make any sense. the really pitiful thing about it is: the only people peak oil denial makes sense to are the people who were motivated by peak oil to commit 9/11. if you deny your motive exists, you've eliminated one of the key parameters that investigators use to compile a suspect list, that parameter being "motive". then you got the prime denier of peak oil, exxon, allied with the AEI, which spawned PNAC, which admitted they needed a new pearl harbor as a pretext to occupy the middle east/caspian/central asian oil patch. what's a poor boy to think?
I'll try to give you my take on it tomorrow. But the short story is, let's keep our reserves untapped, while making war to drill and pump the rest of the world's reserves. It's brilliant in a nut-job sort of way...especially if you're BigOil, and their buddies.
there's probably a certain amount of validity to that argument, if that's what's happening. but it doesnt explain why big oil is drilling holes 30,000 feet deep in american waters in the gulf of mexico. it doesnt explain why existing oilfields' production continued to fall, including fields in texas, alaska, california, oklahoma, etc, when the price of oil rose to nearly $150 a barrel. it doesnt explain why exxon and CERA, allied with the israeli american warmongers, are the prime deniers of peak oil. exxon's warmonger allies lied us into iraq, and probably staged 9/11, and have been lying ever since about the "war on terror", yet you believe exxon's and CERA's lies about peak oil. doesnt make any sense, at all.
No. I do not believe in peak oil at all. As I said, the world's awash in the stuff. Some easier, and some much more difficult to extract, but it's there for us to use.
say you got an oil well in your backyard that's an average producer: 10 barrels a day at $70 per barrel... say things go to hell in a handbasket, and people start stealing oil from you so they can feed their kids... how many cops will it take to protect 500,000 oil wells in america? or will america begin to resemble nigeria? Shell puts cost of crude oil theft in Nigeria at as £1.1bn a year there's got to be a point where you can make more by stealing oil than you can make by being a security guard protecting an oil well...

Shell said yesterday that the theft of oil in Nigeria, Africa’s largest oil-producing country, ranged from 20,000 to 100,000 barrels per day but may have peaked at more than this. At today’s price of slightly more than $40 for a barrel of benchmark Brent crude, this equates to between $300 million and $1.6 billion (£1.1 billion) a year.
