Ok....Interesting language (I will leave it at that).

I would be willing to bet that he could easily be misconstrued as a "Terrorist" based solely on this article....and that is the point I was trying to make.

I gotcha, I always thought it was an odd name for the law too, but it was put on the books in Ga prior to WWI, so 'terroristic threat' had a different meaning then.

Certainly not what the media uses that term for today.

I am just alarmed at the increase in "Terrorist" activity from citizens.....certainly makes the case for indefinite detainment and enemy combatant a lot more probable.

'Terrorist' gets ratings. 'Redneck with a rifle' gets them nothing. 'Terrorist with a high capacity assault rifle' get's them huge hits on a story.

400 NB is starting to get uglier every day.

I swear I can't drive that stretch without some asshat red neck running everyone else off the road just to be ahead of them at each stop light.

Of its not college girls its dumb azz red necks.

I had one chew spitting red neck in a jacked up ford diesel pickup keep getting in front of my barracuda and then gunning it causing so much black smoke that I could not see anything in front of me for 100 yards.

After the the third time I was tempted to unload on the marta forker but being a law abiding citizen I decided to slow way down and let the punk ass go but that did not stop me from asking the gods of karma to come quick and well deserving ten fold on his punk ass.
