Article read and comment posted. It's kind of frustrating when they make stuff up as to people's reasoning. ("In support of Mr. Darrow" HA!) I have no problem with any of them reading what I have written. My problem is their flagrant false manipulation of the facts. They claim the invitation was "in support of Mr. Darrow". Complete fabrication. If they actually read what I have said in other threads, they would obviously find where I have never supported Mr. Darrow. He was entirely too confrontational. Why couldn't he have cooperated without the "tude"? I simply support Mr. Darow's RIGHTS. Solidarity. We're all OC'ers. It could have been any one of us who was stopped and harrassed. (How we handled it would probably be different) EVERYONE, regardless of whether or not I agree with their actions, deserves support for their RIGHTS.
The city council is obviously completely clueless about civil rights by their blundering municipal code frenzy, and complete ignorance about commmonly accepted laws such as brandishing. One of their council members actually believes open carry laws allow pointing firearms at people!
But don't educate them! That would be bad!
There are none so blind as those who do not wish to see.
Unfortunately for us, they're stepping all over our rights as they bumble around in the dark. At least one of them, the Faulkingham guy, seems to have a clue.
I wonder how they're going to get the people who could care less about robbery and murder to obey their OC ordinances as strictly as we law abiding folks do?
Oh well. I'll simply spend my money at other coffee establishments in other municipalities and encourage others to do the same. That way, the tax revenue from the money I spend won't support a community that wishes to purposefully stomp on law abiding citizen's rights.
