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.

What goes up must come down. How many people are killed on New Years Eve every year by bullets that were fired into the air?
NO PARKING,CAMPING OR LOITERING IN R.O.W Sounds like they have connections in crawford
Your #157. Thanks for calling attention to your home page. What a good looking kid, you must be very proud (and worried!).
You said it's hot where he's at, is he in Iraq or Afghanistan?
He is all over the net anyway. He's been interviewed several times over the years regarding President Bush and his living in the area.....

Looks like FNC is going to be having something on this soon...
Did you realize that fire ants are not native to the US? They are illegal aliens also.
Its shotgun pellets....most likely smaller than bbs.
By the way this story is coming up on FNC momentarily
Sister, this is Texas. And, firing a gun on your own property is not illegal here.
He's been back from Iraq for the last three months. He's a Marine Reserve door buster. Now all I have to worry about is how fast he drives.
All of the above.
I was thinking I gotta try a silenced mp5 at some point in time. I have seen them on TV and the amount of suppression just floors me! I like the stealth approach. But big noises are fun too.
There's a place in Minneapolis somewhere that does that too, I have to go and do it sometime, but it's expensive.
Ted played at our local county fair last night. He was quite political and very popular.
My husband especially liked when he shot an Osama dummy with his compound bow from accross the stage.
Looks like you raised a wonderful son. Our troops are amazing and doing an amazing job
No doubt about that. There are not enough thanks to your son and the others who are serving or have served the country.
I remember watching Shooting Gallery (great show) once when they were covering a full auto day like that -- they had this little slim Russian gal shooting, she was having a blast. She was adorable, and they use her for the outtro at the end of the credits. She says with a nice Russian accent something like "It's fun! You feel like Rambo boom boom boom boom - giggle"
Cyrano and I just get the giggles ourselves when we see that.
It's not expensive in Texas. The guys love handing an M-60 over to a cute lovely and watch for that "certain glow" when she's finished.
Mattlage calls this a war of the 'port-a-potties'. Who has the most 'port-a-potties' will win.... You started out in a 5 gal bucket now I see 3 port-a-potties....
Listen to his interview in the link I provided up thread...
I think they ought to go field dress and butcher a javelina just on the private side of the property line in full view. Every fifteen minutes. Leave the gutpiles. In a few hours it'll stink to high heaven.
