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.

Sorry Jenny, ANYTIME you discharge a weapon up in the air as reported is endangering people. He had to be pretty close and out in the open for the Secret Service to know WHO discharged the weapon...
Do you fire off rounds straight up in the air?
If so, I await seeing you nominated for the next Darwin Award...
Fruitcakes. The whole lot of em.
sure, and the next time kids are out on my corner I should go off and fire off a few rounds to ward off tresspassers...
Please.
And I thought most members here were FOR responsible use of firearms. Unless it is against someone who we disagree with...
He shot STRAIGHT UP in the air????
Are you SURE?????
Oh. BTW. He did.
No one was shot, right?
You just must have missed the video where the SS didn't know where it came from so the moonbats told them from which direction it came from. Or the interview with the police that said he did nothing illegal. The police and the SS went over and talked with him and said everything was fine. Even Cindy said so.
I fire rounds in a safe fashion. Apparently so did he.
Yer not too bright are you?
As opposed to under water?
I have never fired a round except into the air.
Where do you hunt? On the moon?
I'm an NRA Certified Training Counselor.
Doves always fly in the air.
Hey Eaker.
Apparently, he did.
You're too upset. Something else has your knickers in a twist.
Yep, there is. The land is pretty flat, for the edge of the Hill Country, especially south of Crawford. Perfect for crop dusting, and the crops that require it.
"I don't think this was such a good idea to fire off a few rounds"
in the air
Only a gun hating pacifist puke would mistake firecrackers for shotgun fire.
I think Uncle Ted would invite the hippies in for a nice BBQ.
