Authorities seized 104 potential weapons from people who came to the rally Wednesday for presidential candidate Barack Obama at the St. Pete Times Forum, police spokeswoman Laura McElroy said.
And let's all thank the fine men and women of the Secret Service and TSA for showing stupid democrat supporters what they really think of them.
Or as Nelson Muntz would say:

UPDATE: Oh, now I see. You can't be too careful when there's a credible threat.

Stealing people's pocket knives? Sheesh. If I'm close enough to use a pocket knife, I'm close enough to break a neck, crush an Adam's apple, knuckle a temple, or break a knee. With my bare hands. What's next? Straightjackets?
ReplyDeleteAnd look at the size of those scissors.Scary stuff.
ReplyDeleteSo they seized bean bag balls that look like the planet Earth? Maybe they were afraid someone was going to stuff one in Obama's mouth before he said something stupid.
ReplyDeleteBill, right you are. Some years back I developed an airline passenger security system that could also apply when in the presence of our Masters.
ReplyDeleteAnd in hindsight, I should have captioned the top photo in this blog post with something about law enforcement seizing an arsenal...
Sane people would have written Obama off as an idiot, taken their stuff, turned around and gone home.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness would you look at that 2 whistles, guess they were going to make a joyful noise to the messiah, huh and a couple pairs of old lady scissors. Wonder if any of that stuff was returned to the rightful owners? Anoymous, you are correct, I wouldn't be going to see obama nor anyone else if thats is the spirit of the things. Hell, everyone must have read how Bushes' security emasculated the
ReplyDelete82nd when he was there the other day. I have stood in ranks forever for J.F.K, the original not the imposter, and for L.B.J. also and nothing was done to our weapons. Of course if I'd of known what L.
B.J was about to do to the 1st Cav it may have been a different story.
Squishy stress relief ball? Envelope opener? good grief
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling the SS mandating that the 82nd Airborne gut their rifles of moving parts before passing in review for Pres. Bush at Bragg will come back to bite him and all republicans. Same here. I predict they'll both protest "I had no idea! The Secret Service handles those details. I love and trust the people."
ReplyDeleteWho said "If people are going to use those kind of weapons to protect their freedom, I have a problem with them having guns at all"?
Last night a COLLEGE police department set up a checkpoint on Main Street in Richmond, Va. and stopped 400 cars. 80 people were issued summonses, four guns were "recovered," and two people were charged with DUI. The *purported* reason was the state's "Click It or Ticket" seatbelt drive. (Failure to wear a seatbelt is still a SECONDARY offense, and cops cannot stop you for it alone.)
ReplyDeleteVirginia Commonwealth University. Main Street runs through the south end of their urban campus.
Any time, any place.
I have emails to write.
So, how's the Fourth Amendment where YOU are?
I see a lot of Swiss army knives and penknives. I wonder what was confiscated from McCain's audience at the NRA convention. Probably Benchmades, Bali-Songs, Applegate folding fighters, Spyderco and Cold Steel tactical folders.
ReplyDeleteIf it ever did become "politics by other means," we could INTIMIDATE the devotees of the Serpent Cult into submission with any knife that won't close on your fingers.
I know for a fact there's one man running that was in Nampa Idaho last month who was shaking hands with supporters who were open carrying.
ReplyDeleteI will say I'm blown away that anyone would allow themselves to be subject to such degrading actions by government parasites. Then in all fairness these people are going to see a communist spew propaganda and believe it as truth.
David, as far as flying on an airline goes. When I used to fly I would always take a bag of pork riens (sp?) and hold them up so any of Allah's buddies on the flight could see them. Only once did I ever have a flight attendant comment on them. She wanted me to turn them over to here because they made some other passengers upset. I told her she needed to contact TSA at once because, "your Islam passengers may know something that we don't know and TSA needs to make the call on how to deal with it." Other passengers demanded that she do that. TSA did walk off some passengers, believe it or not. I don't eat pork but the folks around me enjoyed the prized BBQ pig skins with their soda's and beer during the flight.
