Lockit,
At least it is stun guns, they beat the hell out of the tactics my hometown was known for.

Is this what the future elections in this country are coming to?

There seem to be an awful lot of people out there who are very vocal about Obama and not
in a good way. 
People who are now against the democrats  all together who were democrats.  Its crazy if you ask me.

I'm still not getting what the Democratic convention which won't be held for another couple of weeks in a city a thousand miles away has to do with the Arkansas shooting today?

It's always *very* entertaining to watch the Democratic National Convention!
It's like they empty the insane asylums to get more people there.
I hope they have Barbara Streisand and Patrick "Patches" Kennedy as keynote speakers! lol
I wonder if they'll have a "free speech area" like they did 4 years ago in Boston? A fenced-in area with a chain link fence around it with razor wire on top that the cops locked people into so that they could engage in,....."free speech." lol

I do think this one is going to be even more "interesting" than normal, especially outside.

as to dems being disorganized- they are.  it is a carnival.

meanwhile- how about we delete the government- ya know all that there is good to life- would be more fruitfull if we cut out the middleman.

Strange shit goes on at both conventions... and this year is going to be on the wilder side, unfortunately.
