Police confiscate the “Permibus,” worms and all (RNC..You GOTTA see this)
StarTribune ^ | 9/3/08 | James Shiffer

Posted on 09/03/2008 5:50:47 PM PDT by ButThreeLeftsDo

The Wilson family calls it the “Permibus”: a 1984 Bluebird school bus painted green and converted into a traveling exhibit of sustainable living. The Wilsons - Stan, 52, Delyla, 44, and their daughter Megan, 17 - have lived on the “Permibus” since it went on the road from California in February. They share their home with three dogs, three chickens and a composting bin full of worms.

On Saturday, however, the Wilsons were evicted from the Permibus after it was pulled over and impounded by police on Interstate 94. Caught up in last weekend’s security sweep ahead of the Republican National Convention, the Permibus is now parked in the city of Minneapolis impound lot, illegal to drive until 23 alleged safety violations are fixed.

It’s another confrontation in a week that has put the balance of maintaining order and ensuring free expression to the test in the Twin Cities.

From Wilson’s perspective, “they took the bus because they’re trying to quash dissent.”

Er, no. They’re trying to “quash” the transportation of verminous biota.

“they took the bus because they’re trying to quash dissent.”

Of course, Democrats never want THEIR polluting pieces of shit taken off the road, do they?

23 safety violations is just a step or two beyond “dissent”.

I don’t like the idea of a permibus.

And, as far as worms.....

I raise them in the summer because they are the best bait for MN walleyes. I don’t cycle waste through them, though.....

"...the biodiesel-fueled bus has solar power, water recycling and a hydroponic garden, he said..."

Hyroponic gardening. I remember that. Hippies I knew used it grow pot in their bathrooms in the 70's.
