[NVMojo]

this is how red state Repugs handle things ...this guy had TWO Bush/Cheney stickers on his pickup.

ELKO - An Elko man was arrested today after using a double-headed ax to check out videos Friday at Blockbuster Video.

Thomas Watts, 61, was arrested by an Elko police officer on charges of coercion and assault with a deadly weapon. His bail was set at $10,000.

Watts tried to receive two free videos using two different promotional offers Friday and became upset when the clerk told him he could only receive one, according to the police report.

The clerk told police Watts said "'We can fix this problem. I can go grab my ax out of the truck."'
