A Brother in Need

"Not getting on this island was not an option," David Culpepper said. "We have a brother in need."
Damn straight. And what a great name.

I love seeing this spirit. It feel like America.

... and while real people work to fix things, the "authorities" truck in stop signs. Can't let people get used to thinking for themselves, now, can we.

The only thing that would have been better about that story is if the photos had shown Culpepper ARMED.

Why anyone wants to live in that are is quite beyond me, of course... but each to his/her own. I couldn't afford the insurance premiums.

Went through the story with a fine-toothed comb and found no reference of a Culpepper. Guess the AP re-versionized the thing.

Strange. Evidently ABC reused the url with a new, related story. I found the one I originally referenced elsewhere and have changed the title link to go there.

YES!

This is what I love to see. People ruling themselves and ignoring the unjust commands of the "authorities".

It's good to see a hopeful story now and then. I am depressed almost to death reading the usual stories about people being pushed around and abused by our "helping" government agents.

If the government would leave people alone, things wouldn't be so tragic in disasters.

"David Culpepper met his brother Joe in Atlanta, put a phony magnetic sign on a truck to masquerade as contractors and drove down to help a third brother, Michael, who owns an antiques shop on Galveston."

I could kiss'm. lol.

Thank you Mr. Culpepper, you have boosted our moral.
