I was arrested for “resisting” as they called it. I was not drunk. I was not near the plaza. I saw the officers taze a kid and then they took him down and bloodied his face. I let the officers know that I was watching them and that they were using excessive force. I was threatened with a tazer and pepper spray. I backed up (as they requested me to do) and I kept being vocal about what I had seen. I asked the crowd if anyone had a camera. More police showed up and they pointed at me. Arrested me as I stood on the sidewalk. Called it “resisting”. All I did was watch the cops bloody a kid’s face.

The city “fathers” fucked the up the plaza in the mid 90′s with a little remodel; the removal of benches facing inward, covering up the concentric steps around McKinley with a turd of a raised bed, the removal of small established trees on the inner perimeter, and the addition of a large number of lamp posts. All of this was intended to dissuade hanger outers from hanging out. It has worked well. Besides the wild west dope hayday we are currently experiencing it is a college town with lots of bars in one location. This shit happens from time to time. Quit your whining people.

Point proven. You continue to completely avoid my rant. Just goes to show some people like to take attention away from themselves when confronted about something they’ve done to someone else.

The anonomorons don’t put their names on their feckless utterances because they are generally indefensible – under-researched, loaded with received non-wisdom and logical fallacies, plus kinda stoopid. Take Nameless, for example… ah, never mind.

This isn’t really relevant, but a few years back a company tried to defend itself with legions of anonymous reviews. First, the company sent out a newsletter to everyone on their email list condemning positive media depictions of homosexuality. When the negative reviews started rolling in, scores of positive reviews followed suit calling out the negative reviewers and solidifying support for the company’s political views. The review site caught on to the fact that all of the positive reviews were coming from the same computer at the company in question.

Point proven. You completley avoided my rant and instead chose to further defame an innocent person you know nothing about.

Usually, I dream…

I dreamed
I was the green man
My leafy visage a thing of beauty
I see all
I’m in the brook, on the forest floor in the fall

My stony pedestal becomes a solitary tree
The expanse of fields dotted with a thousand fires
A tree laden with strange fruit
The stench of human sacrifice
I hate the forces that enslave men
To such misery

In the cities the factories churn
Out the war machines
The rude men I fought have awakened
Their crude striving for gold
Makes all a wasteland

Speak! I say
Say your mind
A robber baron is but a man
He trembled when I spoke
He fears you

Not only that, they all seem to be disciples of e.e. cummings. For what it's worth, our new friend "nameless" has the same IP address as someone who posted as "JK" on Nov. 1, and gave an e-mail address which is the same as the Twitter address of Jordan "J.K." Keeling. JK, you'll recall, is one of the two guys arrested on suspicion of committing the massive sign theft we reported on last month. That story quoted his Facebook page, so one can understand why he would be sensitive about that particular topic.
