CBS reported this morning that when law enforcement showed

[cornermouse]

up at their gate after the Cheney shooting incident, the people at Armstrong's gate sent them away. I pretty certain that none of us "little people" could persuade the police to leave the premises after a shooting incident without at least talking to the shooter or the victim. In fact, I would be shocked if the place wasn't crawling with all sorts of law enforcement people. Either we do have royalty or else the Armstrongs live in a different country than we do. It seems our basic beliefs of equality and freedom are dead.

1. you mean I couldn't get away with

telling the cops to piss off and come back tomorrow morning? I thought all them regular folk do that?

2. Hey It's A Mafia Thing Nobody Touches The Don

This is after all an organized crime cabal. And this happened in Texas. Nuff said.

10. Dickey even shot the guy with his Gawdfatherly foreign shotgun.

The Gawdfather of soul-less-ness, was bored, with hunting smallish, clueless, pet budgies and lesser animals and he wanted to bag a charging feral bull barrister. Don Dickster feels profoundly pissed, because, all the # 7 1/2 shot didn't hit in his victim's kill zone and Don Dickster just winged the old varmint! I'll bet the ladies hunting with Drunk Dickey, felt like he was always field dressing them with his dead-eye! They were just damned lucky, that doe season wasn't in down there!

3. We don't have royalty in the US -- but we definitely have an oligarchy

Literally. And, this is against EVERYTHING this country is supposed to stand on.

[Tesla]

4. I hope they really pissed the Media off with this

Maybe they will quit following thier leads as TRUTH!

[The Backlash Cometh]

5. Private ranches in Texas have more rights than anywhere else.

[slaveplanet]

11. Thats not quite true

Private ranches owned by the right families in Texas have more rights than anywhere else.

most of the other private ranches will be subject to water well and private animal microchipping (down to a single dove)if you've been following some recent threads, about new proposed legislation, here at DU.

They are also subject to confiscation a lot more than the special case private ranches.

[The Backlash Cometh]

14. What is wrong with micro-chipping birds in this country?

As long as it's paid for and performed by the government. Does it make them inedible?

[slaveplanet]

16. They're talking about fido

and that chicken in your coop that is for PERSONAL consumption or just a pet.

this isn't about factory slaughter.

Whats wrong with it? well it will give inspectors access to private property without warrant and a reason for them to fine or confiscate private property for non-compliance.

[The Backlash Cometh]

17. You do realize that they have the right to go on your property to

check your orange trees, don't you? There is precedent for this. Frankly, I expect those free range chicken at the Popeyes in Oviedo have their days numbered.

Did they differentiate between privately owned chickens and commercial chickens when they slaughtered them across Asia and Turkey? I got the impression that the kids who died in Iraq were playing with their home grown chickens.

[malaise]

6. More troubling to me is the

way in which 'special interests' with contracts in Iraq and elsewhere are simply described as 'good friends'. The Texas mafia is the symbol of all that is evil in Bushco's Amerika.

[FreedomAngel82]

7. Oh yes

and we can't have privacy any more either eh? :mad: I can't stand this.

[neoblues]

8. Yes, they do live in a different country...

Texas.

"Either we do have royalty..." We do, and they run the government. They are defined by their wealth and the system is called an Aristocracy (with similarity or components of Oligarchy and Corpocracy (a rare word which shouldn't be)).

"or else the Armstrongs live in a different country than we do." In the sense that America is a different place for the wealthy versus the poor, they DO live in a different country. Not to mention Texas thinking it's almost it's own country.

"It seems our basic beliefs of equality and freedom are dead." An accurate description of reality... alas.

[txindy]

15. Well, Texas really WAS its own country, once. That feeling has never left.

Even the tourism slogan is: "Texas, it's like a whole other country." Familiar with Six Flags Over Texas? Each one a flag of a gov't. that controlled Texas at one time or another.

Adding: Then there's Jeb and Florida. This is everywhere the cabal resides.

[neoblues]

18. Didn't know that about 6 Flags...

Though I spent a dozen years living about 10 miles from the border of Tejhas (where j is y), each time we planned to go to Six Flags (over Texas at Dallas/Ft. Worth), it always fell through ( :-( ), so--darn, I missed out on learning that neat little detail (I'd always kind of wondered what the Six Flags were). Thx.

I recall that "Everything is "Bigger" in Texas" is one of their favorite "theories" and couldn't be farther from the truth.

I also tried a regional beer, the name of which escapes me, named after the Republic of Texas... it was :puke: not one of the better beers (one would only get past one beer if there was no water and the temperature was 104°F in the shade--not so uncommon in southwest Tx).

[ixion]

9. yep, I made this point on another thread

"sent them away", like it was nothing more than unwanted assistance from the hired help.

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm all for property owner's rights, but to think for a moment that if there were a shooting in someone's condo, or privately-owned single residence house, that that person could simply send the cops away when they arrived. Yeah, right. Good luck with that.

Unbelievable. These same schmucks who gleefully rob us of our hard-won civil liberties, thumb their noses when the light happens to shine on them.

It's just not right, I tell you. :grr:

[Montagnard]

13. The Rich Are Different Than You and Me

n/t

[leftofthedial]

19. this is no longer the America we once knew

2000 was a coup

we now are a corpo-fascist, feudalist state.

It has always been true that the police and military exist to protect and enforce the interests of the ruling class, but it is blatantly in the open now. Congress not investigating treason by the executive branch?

It's all over.

Nothing short of armed insurrection could change things now.

20. CNN had the sherrif denying it saying "read the report"

21. Oh, pish-posh! It was mis-communication between police and SS

Mis-communication with disasters is a recurring theme with this administration.

[Avalux]

22. The Armstrongs ARE royalty is South Texas -

they own the county in which their ranch resides. Law enforcement take orders from them unfortunately.
