"Irate Crawford neighbor"......

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.

There are so many things he could do to ditch Loony Mama Sheehan.
Where are his strategerists???
He said he was practicing for dove season L0L
He says he supports the protsters but its like your Brother in Law visiting...after a while it starts to stank L0L
Nope, firing in the air in the presence of people is a sure fire way to see the inside of a Texas jail, no matter who's property you're on. Unless this guy can guarantee he knows where the bullets were going to land, he's toast.

Texas and Texans are not going to take kindly to these agitators trying to screw with a Texas land owner who is merely trying to protect his property from interlopers and squatters!
I didn't figure that most people would know what that means!
But that's what they really need. The Secret service might have a problem if one pulled up however.
Nice form, was it an OBL target?
:-)
Personally, I think ditching her would look worse.
Where are his strategerists???
I believe they are giving her all the rope she needs.
If the report is false, I don't think it would be improper to charge those reporting with attempting to incite a riot or some other charge based on incitement.
Oh, dear God, that looks like my ex-husband. If I didn't know he was living in Arizona, not Texas, I'd swear its him.
Aw heck, it's OK for THEM to do enviromental damage, don'tcha'know? It's only denounced and brought to the fore when OTHERS (read non-libs) do it.
Id be willing to bet he was pretty careful.
He did use a shotgun after all an his own ranch.
He's on the tube not in jail,and all this after a visit fron the secret service.
He's sitting good. he may see a law suit from the libs but thats a risk Im sure he was aware of.
Im pretty confident this man intended no malice
Well then some land owner out there has given them permission to occupy private property because they are set up like they own the place. If this is not the case than the local LEOs are lying. I was told it was private property.

Well stated ZM
Interesting idea, but you'd go to jail for it.
BTTT
Whos car is that,do you know red ants like to get in your car too? All they need is incentive.
This is supposed to go on until August 31. You have to wonder if the protestors aren't simply hoping for a member of the community to cross the line. The protestors win if an anti-protestor or a commumity member goes postal.
