Teaming up with notorious Sheriff Joe Arpaio, the action hero is part of a ‘posse’ to protect schools in Phoenix. Terry Greene Sterling on the strange sideshow.

Action hero Steven Seagal will strap on his guns on Saturday and take down a gang of school shooters in a Phoenix suburb. There will TV news cameras and bloody victims. It promises to be a real horror show.
Illegal Immigration Crime Sweep Arizona

Show being the operative word, since the shooters won’t be actual bad guys, but local cops pretending to be bad guys. And the victims won’t be actual victims, but local teens pretending to be victims. And the guy running the show, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, won’t be enforcing the law, but rather, orchestrating a dramatic preview of his latest crime-fighting initiative.

....

Seagal lives in a $3.5 million home in a Phoenix suburb, and is apparently still a trusted friend and ally of Arpaio. When the sheriff made his victory media tour on election night in 2012, Seagal, dressed in black and wearing yellow-tinted glasses, trailed behind with a camera crew. That night, Seagal dubbed Arpaio the "the last of the great American heroes."

....he shoulda been a politican. Anyone with half a brain can tell by the movies he made. He is one of the worst actors I know of.
HEro? Bwahahaha! He's a fucking loser piece of shit who has to live out his dreams in movies, which tells what kind of man he really is. He is just like Chuck Norris, another piece of shit who can't act, but insists on torturing people by making countless B-movies that makes him look tough. Surprise! Movies are make believe, just like their macho-man dreams. Normally I would pity such people, but when they start living out their fantasies in real life, I just put them in the category with dog shit and pond scum.
