I CELEBRATE myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
I loafe and invite my soul,
I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.
My tongue, every atom of my blood, form’d from this soil, this
air,
Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their
parents the same,
I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin,
Hoping to cease not till death.
— Walt Whitman
April is over. May moon.
How many more for my regard,
hundreds, a handful?
Better not trouble the dark water due north of north.
Better to concentrate on something close, something small.
This stick, for instance. This word.
–Charles Wright

The quote from Colonel Cooper has endeared him to me since he said it.
It is an important fact to point out that his comment was made specifically in response to the raid of the Branch Davidian’s home in Waco, Texas – 1993, but also as a general rule of proper conduct for police.
I will add my personal sentiment on the matter;
The fatal mistake the Davidians made was that they didn’t kill every last one of the criminals in the ATF that had attacked them. Under Texas State Law they were well within their rights to do so.
As Christian men and women they acted in good faith when they allowed a truce in which the ATF were permitted to collect their dead and wounded. Some 50 days later they earned as they burned inside the home.
There were more than a dozen children, many of them infants, who perished inside that building.

I know. I dealt that card from beneath the deck. But that meme is soooo funny I couldn’t stop chuckling.
Yeah, naw, yeah…
You misheard.
He said, “I’m gonna EAT Joe Biden.”

Anyway
That’s okay.
Eat me.

In light of the tyrannical surveillance state, wearing masks might not be a bad idea.
Tuck your hair up under your head gear, do a pair of mirrored shades, and then a full bottom face mask that looks like the local mayor. Then go commit a bunch of crimes.
I wouldn’t let Joe anywhere near loaded firearms. Would you?
Richard? Not unless it was in MY hands.
