Camp Casey
Camp Casey in the wet....
They are on a public road [county I suspect it is] and ROW such as it is about some 4 or 5 miles from the President's ranch.

Camp Casey is becoming very organized, with how-to signs placed about. Ann Wright said, "That's what we are trying to do."
Let me read you the schedule posted on a tree: "9:15 camp meeting; 10 a.m. inter-faith service, 10:30 a.m., "Food-Not-Bombs Breakfast at Peace House," and....
"Wait! Someone is firing a gun. (pause). He fired it into the air about five times. He appears to be a local inside the fence line on private property. Now he has thrown what looks like a shotgun into the front seat of a pickup, and he's stomping off out of sight. I wonder where he went.
"Now he's coming back out. I'm out here standing on the road. He's got a no parking sign in his hand, walking toward his fence. I'm going to go try to talk to him. I've got to hang up."
(three minutes later)
I went over and talked to the man. He is Larry Mattlage, who says he is on his property and just posted a no-parking sign.
"We're going to start doing our war and it's going to be underneath the law," he told me. "Whatever it takes. So y'all go find another place to do whatever you do. 'Cause this is our front yard and back yard."
I asked, "Do you mean the protestors?"
Wait.....now there's some Secret Service and cops. I'm going to get closer to hear what they're saying. People in bullet-proof vests are here now. Two Secret Service agents are now walking up his driveway towards his house, with Mr. Mattlage. A member of the Sheriff's Department has arrived. Mr. Mattlage is waving his arms now. All of them are now walking back this way.
Now they are between the lane and the house. He's at the fence now. Let me record what they are saying. I'll call right back.

Oooh Ooooh! MP5 chambered for 10MM!
Are you talking about fire ants or libs?
You newbies really have to quit repeating that old chestnut.
JACKPOT !!
Goat manure tea, makes a great fertilizer. I'll bet the greenery along his fence line could use an organic boost...
I'll bet he could find some local volunteers to help him do chores today.
Sounds like a tounge -in -cheek to me. I doubt very seriously the Secret Service is going to let some odd ball reporter go see what they are saying.
This is actually a pretty good job at depicting just how sill they can be.

LOL, I understand that sentiment.
How about one of those C130s the forest fire fighters use?
Yeah...and those could get infected, ya know? Oh the humanity!
Newbie??? Hey! Let me tell ya, I graduated from my BB gun over two months ago. :-)
If this guy is a rancher, I'd suggest laying down a little defensive perimeter of fresh cow pies. More effective than claymore mines in clearing the land.
Wonder if we should call the Sheriff's office and tell them this man's info is now plastered on the internet.
You do what you have to.
Imagine working in a Texas machine shop.
Imagine working next to a machine that's spitting out hot metal and the blower on the motors isn't working as well as it should.
Then you have to change out the light bulbs on the ceiling at four in the afternoon.
Then tell your kid that it was 130 degrees in some spots. He then asks if you had to work in body armor, helmet and carrying a SAW with 600 rounds of ammo including a forty pound pack.
Then you realize how lucky you have it.
Check his picture on my profile page. Our troops are amazing and doing an amazing job.
Try and imagine that today."
I tell my kids that I may be the only human they ever meet who got into trouble for not bringing a gun to high school. I forgot my target rifle on practice day and had to drive home to get it. I was 5 minutes late for practice and the coach gave me a demerit (remember those?) and I was not allowed to start at our next match.
Why in the hell did he fire towards the sky.
I would imagine that a lot of people are upset with these Crawford camp out idiots.
