That boy ain't right.
i just read it but what does it mean? simple terms please
He went to a park with a pistol disguised as a toy, tried to sue the officer that stopped him, and got nothing.
look at his last posts here-

then he consumated the act by trying to get money out of it(suing for damages). thats where he loses me. he got what he wanted and was asking for. to then turn around and then claim damages(which is legalese for i want money to compensate me) is bull.
sadly, the bad in this case outweighs the good. he goes from being a ballsy activist who believes in he cause all the way to a * who's looking to make a splash and make some money.
this part:
quote:Making matters worse (or at least more
suspicious), Embody had painted the barrel tip of the gun orange, typically an indication that the gun is a toy. An officer could fairly suspect that Embody had used the paint to disguise an illegal weapon.
doesnt help him any.
he tried to make a statement and cause a ruckus. he got what he wanted. he made a scene and in doing so, educated the park rangers. in this, while i think he took extreme measures, he succeeded and i both suport and applaud the effort.

Well said.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
I know none of us paints with such a broad brush, but the LIBS do! [;)]
He's a nut, Andy, a nut!
