Let's call this one: Deconstructing Roscoe.

So I send Roscoe FreepMail asking if he is a narc. I expect to be ignored. Instead I get a reply that goes "Dont's send me FreepMail. First warning." Oooooooooo! He's going to tell my mamma I'm a baaaaad boy. Naturally, I send a reply asking why. I can hardly wait for the response.

In the meanwhile, let's see what's on Roscoe's Freeper page. Interesting! An ad for a Black Republican ex-Marine running for California state assembly. Ironically, the very sort of guy most Freepers would be campaigning for. So what's Roscoe got to do with this guy?

Most politicians who hang out on FR see FR and Freepers as an important resource. Yet Roscoe is very shy about whether he is a cop or running for office. Looking further into the bio we see: Ex manager at several retail stores (probably had to supervise stoned slackers). Law degree from someplace I never heard of. Ex cop (so it was probably the kind of degree cops get). Well, we can guess being a cop in Cali can give you a pretty orthodox view of the Drug War. So maybe Roscoe IS this guy. Or a relative. "Roscoe" sounds like a plausible brother or cousin.

Well, it makes me feel a lot more sympathetic to Roscoe. Let's assume he's family to this Black ex-Marine Republican state assembly candidate. Probably grew up in an environment where referring to the Constitution rather than more proximate rules is being a wise-ass. Might be a cop, too, given his (limited) legal education. That would explain the lack of ability to question fundamentals. One thing cops are not about is self-doubt.

So Roscoe, feel free to tell us how close we are.
