And the guy was in Ohio?? My Godz don't we have enough Ted Nugent types around here already??

To all of the good people of the great state of Ohio: sorry that you guys have this problem too. I guess we'll all keep working together to make a better society that doesn't spawn gaping assholes like this guy.
