"Someone has to start the revolution but no one wants to be first."
Edited on Thu Feb-07-08 09:10 PM by originalpckelly
Oh my, this is what I've been worried about:

PHOENIX - A would-be bar owner angry at being denied a liquor license threatened to shoot people at the Super Bowl and drove to within sight of the stadium with a rifle and 200 rounds of ammunition before changing his mind, federal authorities said.

Kurt William Havelock, who ultimately turned himself in, had vowed to “shed the blood of the innocent” in a manifesto mailed Sunday to media outlets, according to court documents. “No one destroys my dream,” he wrote.

***SNIP***

“I will not be bullied by the financial institutions and their puppet politicians,” Havelock wrote in the eight-page manifesto, according to the complaint.

“I will test the theory that bullets speak louder than words. Perhaps the blood of the inculpable will cause a paradigm shift. ... Someone has to start the revolution but no one wants to be first.”

This asshole is example number one why the people at the top of this country need to re-fucking think their ways. They're engendering hatred, even if it is on the part of the disgruntled nuts like this guy, those nuts could cause quite a lot of damage and a larger conflict to break out. Instead of peaceful change, we'd have chaotic and violent change. Troubled times these are my young padiwans.

4. I'm glad someone else sees the nuttiness of it.
We lived in a fucking oligarchy, but shooting innocent people ain't the way to go about solving that problem.

2. ....sounds like the 1930s all over again.

5. What point: that it's OK to kill innocent people for insane rantings...
or that it's OK to kill them because we live in a fucked country?

:shrug:

6. "someone has to start the revolution..."
"...but no one wants to go first."

I thought that was pretty self evident. Guess not.
