That means you're a net "taker" of federal largesse according to PNN doctrine.
I just got back from Alaska. I want to live there (except for maybe in the winter).

But without hedge's fantasies about others' deaths.
Rat will always have "I have three balls" and "my pee smells like ham." Hedge can never take those away from him.

"Use the Crane hedge-San!"
Speaking of Rat and hedge, when I was walking through billowing clouds of second-hand marijuana smoke in the Seattle subway stations, surrounded by a heavily millenial population, it occurred to me: this is how Rand Paul wins the election. He follows his libertarian principles and promises an executive order that will end all prosecution of marijuana crimes. In an instant, he will wrest the millenial vote away from the Dem's. It would be the equivalent of the Emancipation Proclamation for them. The Dem's will have to play catch up and one-upsmanship. "We'll not only legalize weed, but heroin and acid too!"

I think the open carry nuts are nutty, but as long as it's the law, neither should be stopped. The black dude was treated worse, but it's not just race. There are plenty of examples of cops doing similar to a white guy.
The real test is if it was the same cops with such disparate reactions.

White On White Gang Violence Out Of Control
9 dead in Texas biker brawl
(CNN)Gunfire erupted Sunday among rival biker gangs in Waco, Texas, leaving at least nine people dead, according to police.
Authorities had anticipated trouble and pre-positioned officers.
"There were at least three rival gang groups here this morning for whatever reason. As they were here, we had officers on scene. We expected issues," said Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton, a police spokesman. He later said there were at least five gangs.
The fight broke out at Twin Peaks restaurant and spilled into the parking lot. It quickly escalated from hands and feet, as weapons, to gunfire, Swanton said.
"In my nearly 35 years of law enforcement experience," he said, "this is the most violent and gruesome scene that I have dealt with."
Bikers shot at each other and at officers, who returned fire.
Swanton expressed anger at Twin Peaks, which he claims had been less than helpful in dealing with gangs in the past. He declined to identify the specific groups involved in Sunday's shooting.
"Are we frustrated? Sure. Because we feel like there may have been more that could have been done by a business to prevent this," he said.
Corporate management at Twin Peaks released a statement saying it was reviewing the circumstances of the shooting. The Waco restaurant is franchised.
"We are thankful no employees, guests or police were injured in this senseless violence outside the restaurant, and our sympathies are with the families of those killed," the statement said.
To escape the fight, some restaurant customers and employees took cover in the freezer, according to CNN affiliate KWTX. The station reported that more than 100 weapons were recovered, and Waco police said officers were continuing to arrest people arriving with weapons.
Swanton told reporters that eight people were dead on the scene and another was pronounced dead at an area hospital. A total of 18 people were taken to the hospital. It was not immediately clear whether that figure included the person who died. All those injured or dead are believed to be bikers.
No officers were hurt, Swanton said, praising their response.
"Their action has saved lives in keeping this from spilling into a very busy Sunday morning," the spokesman said. "Thank goodness the officers were here, and took the action that they needed to take to save numerous lives."

This was a spontaneous demonstration against a youtube video that was offensive to bikers. It was initially peaceful, but a few bad apples let it out of hand.
The violence had nothing to do with biker culture. We shouldn't automtatically associate the Hell's Angels or the Outlaws or the Diablos or the Sons of Satan with negative stereotypes.
At this point, what does it matter?

Bill O'Reilly beat his wife and dragged her around by the hair. So says Bill O'Reilly's daughter. (O'Reilly recently lost custody of his kids to said ex-wife)
