Barry the Luminary

Barry's Flashlight

When you're at a party and the police show up, what's usually the end result?

Party over, at the very least. Right?

Well ... Not if you're hanging out with Barry Cooper.

Raw Story readers may well remember Cooper. Late last year, he pulled a first-of-its-kind stunt to debut his 'coming soon' reality show 'KopBusters,' a 'To Catch A Predator'-style program targeting allegedly crooked officers. Our initial report on his exploits with a phony marijuana grow house in Odessa, Texas is still one of the most well-read writeups carried by Raw Story.

After all, it isn't every day a former narcotics officer becomes a celebrity anti-prohibitionist.

A couple days after I filed the initial Raw report on 'KopBusters,' I reached out to Cooper and co. to get some more material. As it just so happened, they live not more than 15 minutes from your's truly here in Austin, Texas.

Come to find out, Cooper was already a Raw Story reader. And, thanks to all your clicks on our first report (along with over a million Digg readers), Cooper's 'KopBusters' Web site and sister-site NeverGetBusted.com were down for days.

An interview was quickly scheduled, resulting in a follow-up report that carried the first real trailer for Cooper's 'KopBusters'.

That all transpired in late December.

If you're a music or indie film fan, you likely know about South by Southwest, Austin's annual music, film and tech festival that's grown to become one of the largest ... of all three varieties ... in the whole world.

After finishing work last night, I found myself downtown in the midst of the cultural insanity that is SXSW, accompanied by a good friend and aspiring Libertarian politico from Dallas. Lo and Behold, who do we run into but Barry Cooper, who'd spent a portion of the afternoon enjoying the liberties of a liberal city's policing policies over at the High Times magazine Doobie Awards.

"We should hang out," was his assessment of the situation. I humbly followed in-tow.

Skip ahead several hours and he's invited us to a SXSW afterparty with the head MC's from Houston-based political rap group 'The Terrorists'. (Lyrical terrorists. Not the Bushian' Kind.) We migrated from downtown to Cooper's home in Pflugerville, picking up a couple friends along the way.

For hours, I sat and discussed the nuances of US foreign policy, drug policy, world economics and ancient theologies with Barry's friends. Good Times, I'll admit. Couldn't complain about the free beer either.

Then, around 1:30 a.m., came a rather ominous-sounding knock at the door.

I'll spare the non-essential details. Needless to say, it was a cop knock. If you've ever been visited, you know that sound. Sure enough, there were four police cruisers parked in front of Cooper's house.

"I don't open the door to cops," said Cooper, peering through a front window. "You're gonna have to talk to me from here 'cause nobody in this house is coming outside."

One of the neighbors allegedly called in a noise complaint. There were several parties happening on Barry's street, one of them just two doors down that appeared to be hosting a cavalcade of younger types -- teenagers, or close -- laughing, Whooping, smoking out and playing beer pong in the garage.

"We got a music complaint," said an unseen officer.

"Are you sure that's Us?" asked Cooper. "There's another party right just there, two doors down."

"Yeah, there were a bunch of people talking loudly," the cop said.

"Well, now, wait a minute now," started Cooper. "You said it was a music complaint. How am I supposed to know if I need to tell my guests to be quiet or turn my music down? Which is it, man? Again, are you sure it's Us?"

Unfortunately for Cooper, it wasn't Us, though initially theories as to their presence abounded. The officers zeroed in on one of Cooper's guests who'd been sitting in his vehicle. What he was doing there, I didn't see for myself. But there he was, standing on the lawn in handcuffs, 10-12 other partygoers holding their breath inside.

Cooper came back into the living room. "They said there's a car out here with its engine on and they're going to tow it if the owner doesn't come outside."

The owner approached the front door as Cooper cautioned that it was likely a trick. The cost of an impound recovery is less than an arrest, someone said. But, the car's owner insisted he had no contraband and no warrants. A final effort to talk him out of approaching the officers failed, so out he went.

Barry's wife Candi was quick with the camcorder, but even quicker with the taunts. We all migrated to the second floor for a better vantage point.

"Hey, I'm filming all this, just so you know!" she yelled down to the officers. "We're all watching! Do you guys like, get off on this? Harassing innocent, non-violent people? Is this how you really spend your Saturday nights?"

Almost immediately, the police turned their spotlights on the home's windows, blinding her camera and anyone trying to see what was going on.

Barry was pissed, in a manner of speaking.

"Hey, you know who I am, right?" he barked. "I'm Barry Cooper. I make a living off busting cops."

One of the officers stopped in his tracks. "Yeah, I know who you are," he said. "I've seen your videos."

"Good!" Barry yelled back. "I'm going to run for Texas Attorney General. You better enjoy this while you can 'cause when I'm running the show, pulling sh*t like this will get your asses fired!"

"We didn't do anything wrong!" Candi chimed in. "What are you doing on my lawn? Stop harassing us!"

"Yeah, and stop shining your flashlights into my house man!" added Barry. "Why do you have to do that? There's no need to put lights on us like that."

The officers' only response was to turn another cruiser's spotlight on us.

"Well, alright man, but I'm just warning you, I got a bigger flashlight than you guys," said Barry. "How'd you like it if I were shining a light in your face?"

No response.

"Son of a b**ch," said Cooper. "Wait here you guys, I'll be right back."

"Hey!" yelled Dope-E of The Terrorists. "Hey! Yeah, you! You just doin' this 'cause you hate black people, right? You doin' this 'cause you hate me, you hate the way I look, right?"

Candi put a hand on his forearm. "Don't antagonize them too much," she said. A few more cracks and he backed off.

Barry didn't get the message.

Slowly pushing the door open, he calmly walked into the room -- now full of highly entertained, if not slightly concerned, party-goers -- carrying the biggest flashlight I have ever seen. This thing could have been a helicopter spotlight.

He happily plopped down on the floor in front of his open window and aimed the beast like some kind of bazooka, then flipped the power switch.

All the cops stepped back, covering their faces. And apparently, two of the lights that had been on us for so long were hand-held.

I counted it out. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Off.

"Now, I'm not gonna do that again," Barry said, wagging an index finger and speaking as if he'd just punished a child. "But I want you to know, logic and reason govern my actions, not your uniform and badge. I don't want to shine my light again so you guys need to stop shining lights into my house. That's our friend out their and we are make sure you don't mistreat him or we are going to file a suit."

The two maglights hit the window again.

"If you do that again, I'm going to write a warrant for your arrest for obstructing a criminal investigation," an officer said. "Do you understand me? It's for officer safety. We don't know if your going to shoot us. If you do that again, I'm going to write a warrant for your arrest."

"Oh, my goodness!" Barry said. "Nobody up here is going to shoot you! We are all peaceful and have four kids!"

Looking down, Barry smiled. "Ah, well, he can write that warrant," he whispered to his guests. "But the point is to piss big early on so they know they aren't dealing with some pushover."

"Hey, you know I sue dirty cops, right?" he jeered. "I'm willing to bet you didn't really like having a light shined in your face like you're doing to us. So, stop it man!"

They ignored him and began a consensual search of their suspects' vehicle.

Twenty minutes. Thirty minutes. Not sure exactly how long it went on. Candi kept running around the house, out into the backyard, upstairs again, each time trying to get a decent shot of the cops. Without fail, every new position would be illuminated.

Still the four police cruisers remained, guests speaking in sub-whispers so Candi could catch the Feint audio rumbling from our ominous visitors. Finally, we heard the words "Class C arrest" and their cuffed prisoner was released. As he bent over to sign a document on one cruiser's hood, we heard another officer thank him for the cooperation.

And then, they left.

Surveying the situation, we were given this basic summary: the person targeted by police in front of Cooper's house -- whose identity was not exactly made clear to me -- had gone to his friend's car to smoke marijuana. He was apparently puffing on a 'blunt' when the officers pulled up, likely drawn to the neighborhood by the underage partiers two doors down. Smelling the marijuana, officers went into enforcement mode.

And if several of the party-goers are to be believed, it sure didn't help that he was black and from Houston.

But they didn't make an arrest.

In Texas, a Class C misdemeanor, usually given for drug paraphernalia, is just a ticket. It'll cost you $500, sure, but it isn't a night in jail. It isn't probation and it doesn't stick to criminal records for long. Even in George W. Bush's adopted home state, with a legislature dominated by Republicans, there has been and is a growing recognition for some softening of marijuana penalties.

But he actually had pot -- technically, a Class B  possession of marijuana charge and a night in jail at the very least -- yet ... They took off the cuffs and turned their backs on him. No Arrest.

"It's all about the piss!" laughed a celebratory Cooper. "That's our right as citizens, but unfortunately you've got to let cops know what's what, that you know your rights, that you won't roll over and comply with their requests, that you'll only obey a lawful order."

I've never in my life seen someone display such flagrant disrespect for a troupe of cops, only to arguably influence the outcome of the encounter in his favor.

"Man, I bet those cops on his lawn have the Barry Cooper b**ch slap on their faces the next morning," said my Libertarian friend.

Holding a hand up as if to shield his eyes, he audibly mimicked the sizzling of fat on a fryer, tracing his fingers' outline from brow to brow, then punching the table repeatedly in laughter.

"Man, try explaining that to your wife in the morning," he said. "'Honey, where'd that hand print come from? Did you get knocked unconscious at the beach?'"

Sadly, Candi's video is mostly her running through the house and vague shades of figures moving around behind ubiquitous streams of white light, otherwise I'd have pushed to have it here for you.

But I did come away from the whole episode with two thoughts I find much more amusing than the newest viral cop clip, which this post could have very well turned into.

First: This sort of thing would have never happened in my parents' day. Sure, there were various competing revolutions before that great wave broke and Rolled Back. But today, we have the Internet to thank for bringing to our attention victims of blood-soaked policing like Oscar Grant or Derek Copp, 'cause the mainstream media, television especially, sure isn't talking about them. Hell, we have the Internet to thank for Cooper's fame. I don't think for a minute an instructional film on how to grow and smuggle marijuana would ever get published by a major DVD distributor, or be aired on a local access television channel.

Second: Last night's encounter convinced me that 'KopBusters' is more than just a reality show concept: it's an ethos, a growing thunder known by almost all stripes that's nearly ready to boil to the surface everywhere I've been. Going even further, I'm now certain that Cooper is more than just a stunt man with a flare for high media.

After all, he's got a bigger flashlight than you.

(*Photo above is Cooper's actual flashlight. This story has been modified from an original version.)

**Update ...

The solution -- the neutralizing factor that was missing from this escapade -- just came to me.

Flood lights. Four or six of 'em, tied to a switch in the house. The kind of floodlights you'd never, ever turn on at night, even if you're one of those types who takes too much pleasure in exhorberant Christmas displays.

Floodlights. Imagine the cops' surprise if/when they return to Cooper's home at night.

Because, after all, it only makes sense to create an environment where the officers have unfettered use of both hands at once ... Right?

    Great read, can't wait to see the KopBusters show.


  2. I can't wait for that show, I will even order up Barry Coopers books and such about what cops do or don't do in order to make sure I'm not intimidated into doing something that is unconstitutional and illegal. The police have only themselves to blame, they have made a society so pissed about there actions that people don't look at them as helping, but as a gang that is out of control and needs to be put down.

  4. The phony, endless war on drugs has ruined many people's lives while providing police departments, lawyers, judges, the prison industry, DEA, etc., all sorts of job security, bonuses, overtime pay, ever increasing revenue & powers, their own smuggling/dealing/money-laundering opportunities, etc.!!! (And this is just the tip of the rotten, corrupt iceberg!)


  5. CitizenTruth

    Thanks Barry Cooper, for becoming what you've become, and being a great human being.


  6. Love it, Stephen!

    I watch Barry's videos repeatedly, as well as others about knowing your rights and how to handle police.

    I feel much more confident in dealing with public servants now.


  7. Sean

    Thanks Raw Story, and thanks to Mr. Cooper - but I think if you tried this in fort worth, dallas, or houston, or you weren't a recognized cop-filming former-narcotics officer yourself, you really *not hyperbole here* might get shot. Or Tazed, or mag-lighted to the cranium.

    I moved away from Texas because the cops there are nuts. God forbid you're a non-white person and there aren't any cameras around; I've seen texas cops harass black people - not racial profiling, beyond that - this is institutionalized racial harassment.

    I salute Mr Cooper but would not try to emulate him; in the south, it may just get you killed. If you try to do it, make sure there are LOTS of people and LOTS of cameras - at least that way your death won't be overlooked.


  8. Homeland security / Fatherland security fucking gw bush's police state act.

    Ever notice cops these days look like a skinhead stormtroopers of the ss and act as such.


  9. What's the make and model of the spotlight and where is it sold?


  10. It's this simple. I don't speak to cops who are probably dirty cops, unless they show me a method of discovery aka investigation in progress.

    Then I gladly do so.

    Then I also use the law to my advantage, and with intimidation or not I order them to show me where the stated law was violated.

    I'll defend my right every single minute because I have the actual code to read from, can they read, like I can read? What is the violation specifically and how does the violation apply, where does it apply and why should I listen if there is no violation?

    The "VIOLATION" entails a specific code of conduct or breach was conducted and or violated. If they can't show me then they get NOTHING.

    I've then simply gotten a citation or ticket or something else, and march in there with the uniform code to get it dismissed wherever possible.


  11. Jeff: I will try to find out for you.


  12. Great article! Thanks Stephen and of course THANK YOU BARRY for standing up for the rights of all Americans!

    About a year and a half ago I threatened to go into my apartment and call the state police on a county deputy who wanted to search me. The idiot pulled in behind me in my driveway as I was coming home from milking cows. NOT A GOOD THING TO DO. Never ever mess with a farmhand headed home from milking!! He said I had been doing 37 in a 30 zone. First I explained to him it was a 35 MPH zone!! After he'd said something about the search and I'd explained to him he didn't have any probably cause to do so and told him I'd call the state troopers to tell him so he got all defensive and told ME to calm down and I told HIM to calm down and quite trying to violate my legal rights. Long story short he did give me tickets for no registration, no insurance and no inspection and did check the serial numbers on a gun in the car I was driving and one in a car parked in my driveway but he backed the hell off on his search idea.


  13. Dan

    I have been reading raw story for years now. Loved the original article on the Kopbusters. I am a fellow Austinite. I live up north and actually in Williamson County. I am sadly familiar with Williamson County law enforcement as well as prosecutions. This seems like the party guest was very fortunate. I am glad for the vigilance of the good cops, but I know that the DA/Law enforcement establishment in Williamson County is extremely conservative and overbearing. I seems obvious that they will overreact to small crimes as a way to control the future. In other words brand the younger ones as criminals with petty stuff so they will go to prison later and the parolees and probationers will be harassed until they leave the county, which is the tactical strategy. So the bad cops are allowed to thrive and function here.


  14. All bad cops must be prosecuted.

    Start a movement all over Texas and the like to prosecute bad cops in citizen Grand Juries and start bringing these lawbreakers to probation and to face justice, heavy penalties and more so that all corruption is stopped.

  16. TJ

    Just imagine the cops of the near future who have served in Iraq with no consequences for their actions in Iraq. Talk about abuse to come. I fear that the next group of cops will know no laws.....


  17. simon

    I know some cops & also have had more than my share of run-ins with cops all over the country.

    I have yet to come across one that takes their oath, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, or even the laws seriously. They're all loose cannons at the least, many are very dangerous.

    They have ZERO empathy & do get off on fucking with peoples' lives, its a power trip, they get a serious rush off of it & they ALL know it!

    They also know that the system is corrupt, enforcement & judicial, in the sense that they can get away with pretty much anything, the system protects them.

    Some folks think cameras everywhere are a bad thing, I think we need more! Dash cams, security cams, phone cams, etc.

    An honest police force is key for the future of this country long-term & holding them to task for their actions is the only thing that will force them to stop acting like fascists. Its a basic oversight issue.

    But, I have found that its best to not f*ck with them, follow their bs orders perfectly, be honest, never ever have anything illegal in your car & if you get arrested its crucial to do your homework & find an attorney that the judges like.

    Also, don't speed & basically just avoid them as much as you can. And be nice to them, because if you irritate them, then they will enjoy fucking with your life. And they will get on the stand & lie through their teeth, so they don't even need to find any wrong doing. They love to charge people with resisting arrest as payback for a person's smart mouth.

    And don't do this flashlight trick! But, I like the idea of floodlights. And film them if you can, but don't taunt them, it just makes them go after you. Don't poke the bear!


  18. Dan: He insisted that his home is on the Travis side of the border. I didn't look it up on a map or anything, but I'm fairly sure if those were WilCo police it would have been a different evening.

    In my presence, Cooper has several times gone on tirades about law enforcement in Williamson County. He's even said he'd love to film a 'Kop bust' there. I'll definitely try to get some coverage when/if something like that happens.

  22. I was recently hired by an Austin Defense Attorney, James Gill, as an expert witness in a K-9 false alert case in Williamson County. You can see the actual police footage of the false alert on the front page of my site: kopbuster.com.

    Williamson County has madness taking place in their criminal courts every day. It's embarrassing to see adults holding such positions and acting the way they do. When I win Texas Attorney General in 2010, my office will be in the State Capital located next to Williamson County and I will make instant personal visits to the prosecutors and judges and demand instant change or else...

  23. Barry,

    You have my vote.


  24. ...and in all fairness, we must thank the Pflugerville Police Department for not taking our friend to jail.

    Even though I have contempt for these officers being at my house and harassing us, I'm appreciative they wrote a ticket for a bad law instead of jailing our friend for a bad law.

    Peace,

    Barry

    You need to do something to get rid of solid red background faster....It took so long I almost left...C


  26. Mark

    Well, that's not the way *I* would have handled the situation...but to each their own.

    I used to work with the local Sheriff's department when I was a youthful teenager in Explorer Scouts. As such, I learned what Police are looking for and how to deal with them in a completely different manner.

    When cops come knocking at a party, the party-goers send me, dressed in a 3-piece suit to answer the door. No matter what the problem is, they go away happy and content and no one get harassed and certainly no one gets handcuffed..and the party is able to resume it's usual revelries.

    It's not unlike bumping into a Gang on some inner-city Street.

    People simply want respect. Those that carry guns (and even more so for the variety that carry badges) they think that earns them the right to have respect. If you ignore whether or not they deserve it and give it to them any way, they're going to leave you alone because they already have what they wanted all along from you.

    It doesn't ever have to come down to a pissing contest or whose light is bigger. For anyone other than Barry Cooper that scenario could have turned a heck of a lot uglier quick.

    I don't generally trust Cops either. When we give High School Drop-Outs a gun and a badge and the ultimate authority that goes along with it then as a society we get what we pay for. However, if you openly display your distrust it is only going to garner distrust in return from the officers. Ultimately, if you want an officer to trust you and be respectful of your rights (all idealistic arguments aside as to whether or not they should be doing such to begin with) it begins with one offering trust and respect to the officer first.

    Likewise, a Cop isn't a lawyer. You can't expect a Cop with a High School Diploma at best to know the law like a lawyer. That's what the District Attorney's Office is for. Cops make wrongful arrests all the time. If they make the call to arrest you, even if *YOU* happen to know they are in the wrong, don't argue or fight it with someone who knows less than you do. Just go along with it...be polite and understanding. I've personally been arrested 3 times and each time after being booked, the call came from the DA that no crime had actually been committed and I was released immediately without even needing to wait for an arraignment or need to post bail. You can be arrested for no reason...you just can't be held without charge (arraignment) for longer than 24 hours (or 72 hours if you get arrested Friday afternoon). If you are cooperative and don't take it personal, are polite and courteous, you just might find the arresting officer testifying on your own behalf if the DA decides to charge you with something they think they can prove in Court before a Judge (and/or Jury). After all, nothing blows a DA's case out of the water quicker than the arresting officer being a hostile witness for their own case because they only have positive things to say about the Defense. ;)


  27. Here in America, we know all about how it works.

    Cops and police are of course police, they know how it works too, sometimes they are very strict but ultimately they are not at fault or to blame for the decisions.

    What we call "law" is often bastardized, vandalized and brutalized tyrannical legislation written up by tyrants on Federal Benches.

    The Federal Government, hostage to the Federal Reserve, writes up tyrannical laws and judicial rulings or summons to indoctrinate and force our judges & prosecutors to act in ways unbecoming of a civil servant.

    They turn them into tyrants with a badge, this is the thanks we get from our wondrous "Federal Government"

    Let me tell you something. I got assaulted again and I didn't waste time, I didn't go into any department waving the constitution around or doing any meaningless dribble.

    I simply looked up the law, looked up the code that was violated, grabbed by digital camera and something to defend myself and marched in there.

    I then asked, therefore demanded in an authoritative tone after going past the metal detectors to see what it is this code relates to that I was accused of violating. I indicated right away to the bailiff and those standing by that I knew this code was not violated, given the area I was at is not a district or area known for unmarked crosswalks or crosswalks.

    Certainly the code violated wasn't anything ridiculous like murder or anything else, and the fee was obnoxiously low at that. I challenged it based on the facts of the code, and then got this bad law invalidated, so it could be tossed out.

    This without incident intimidated everyone in the station and they realized the so called instruction, "law" whatever it was, did indeed appear to be frivilous.

    I'm not even a lawyer and I beat this little game.

    But where the real tyranny, the real baseless stupidity is coming from is 1100 Pennsylvania Ave and Washington D.C. where criminal tyrants are writing bad laws and obnoxious laws to install useless things like FEMA camps.

    They think we don't know, but we all know!!!!!!!!!!

    Laws against spitting in public, laws against crossing the street, laws against using cannabis, laws against posting bulletin boards in public places, laws against loitering and littering. laws against protesting, laws against demonstrations at authority, laws against using a digital camera (they don't want you to catch them in the act of "VIOLENT THEFT", which is an unauthorized FBI agent or civilian attempts to press charges and levy damages to take your property after an accident- this every person understands is "THEFT") and laws against the right to trial by jury.

    If every man, woman and child went into their local courthouses and flat refused to obey these frivilous laws altogether I guarantee during the next week after a few arrests virtually all the bad laws would be thrown out -- TOSSED OFF THE BOOKS AND NEVER RE-APPLIED AGAIN!!!

    This is the secret "FORMULA" to destroying tyranny, which Jay Bybee and his Zionist jackal friends don't want you to know.

    Of course they don't want to hear anything about the constitution so don't read it in public, but they also don't want you to know about it. As when you know about it and you know the code, you also know the secret.....

    That there is no military army behind the "WIZARD OF OZ", and he/she is a PAPER TIGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    We hear every day about how these beautiful laws are for our own good and protection, by mother state the Federal Government. Well, if that is the case I haven't met any citizens who agree with that charge and I can barely count on my four fingers the amount of police officer/prosecutors that do either!!!!!!!

    That's because these so called laws are designed to designate, YOU, and all FREE PERSONS, as "TERRORISTS" of the state because what they fear more than any radical muslim idiot is PEOPLE WHO WOKE UP TO THEIR TREASONOUS BAD LAWS!!!!!

    Once woken up, none of these laws would be able to stand again. People could go back to throwing candy wrappers on the ground in school and just disobeying, doing whatever they wish, besides insane things like murder and so on, because the "MOTHER STATE" would no longer need to watch over her "CHILDREN" with tyrannical sick LAWS FOR IDIOTS!!!!!!

    That's why they are more insane and stupid than you or I, these "Federal Government" tyrants label ALL OF US who know these laws are "LIES" to be "TERRORISTS" including police and/or councilmen!!!!

    They label Ron Paul a TERRORIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These insane idiots! What would happen if we just refused to obey most of these laws, took our tasers down to the Pentagon and demanded that Lockheed Martin shut down immediately & get out of Gaza and Iraq or else we tase all of them. I guarantee they wouldn't last 2 weeks, and would run out of their firing bullets & then falling to the ground in a large domino as they all get tossed off to jail.

    Then the POLICE STATE would be over but you see, that's why....that's why THEY CANT ALLOW ANY OF YOU TO KNOW ABOUT IT.....Thats why YOU HAVE TO OBEY MOTHER GOVERNMENT OR DIE......Or else.......The Wizard of Oz isn't scary anymore.......

    I know Jay Bybee and the White Trash Zionist cops as well as their Israeli American friends love their country with all their might. And at the same time they demand that all of us country hating traitors be gone.

    So that is exactly why Zionist nazi Jay Bybee, Mike Chertoff, his Zionist cops and Israeli buddies need to go back to their country of Israel by no later than tomorrow and leave the rest of us the hell alone. Deport themselves to Israel, take the star of David Judiciary scam with them, and NEVER RETURN TO AMERICA again or we will get it all on tape with Digital Camcorder.
    WE SAW WHAT HAPPENED IN GAZA AND IRAQ, ALL JEWS SAW IT ALL PEOPLE SAW IT................THE ZIONAZI REGIME IS NOT WELCOME HERE, YOU ARE A BAND OF THUGS AND THIEVES AND NEED TO LEAVE!!!!!

    I say Abolish the National Security Agency by tomorrow and kick out all freedom loving Israel first cabal lunatics. The Wizard of OZ would then be de-fanged.
    Let me ask my fellow Americans, why don't WE ALL refuse to show up when they ask us to serve on NATIONAL REQUIRED SERVICE DAY on September 11?

    Why not let them pout and look like raving fascists, sending out thugs to attack people for not serving the city cleanup crew on September 11 because we don't want to celebrate TREASON?

    We can all defend ourselves just fine, and they'd give up, label us all "TERRORISTS" and complain but they'd never be able to force us to serve. Then what if we all stopped using their economy, and discussed we should just abolish the Federal Reserve? THEN WHAT WOULD THEY DO?
    WOULD THEY DO ANYTHING OR WOULD THEY BLOW OVER AGAIN!!!!!


  28. Well done Barry, if I'm not mistaken that'd be a 20 million candlepower light. I've had my fair share of run ins with the law including this unsuccessful buy n' bust by the local little piggies:

    My neighbor Tony who I buzzed up every so often and his wife Pam were turned into social services for child neglect, it seems they were both hard assed alcoholics who'd rather drink then tend their two little girls. I didn't know this as I was never invited into their home & only saw Tony if he wanted to catch a buzz @ my place. Being as he never had any weed I once offered to find him a bag if he wanted (a neighborly gesture as I never sell weed) to get one some day. So he goes and tells social services that he wants to make a deal, he'll turn in his pot dealing neighbor (me!) for a pass on the child neglect.......

    In comes the sheriffs dept, our local narcotics officer Mike heard out the story (95% BS I'm sure to fluff it up) and then Mike said, "We'll only need a single buy on Dave to bust him for dealing with all the info you've given." All of this unknown to me at the time of course.

    So I come pulling up to my house to see someone walking away from my door and approaching his car, I asked him if I could help him and he replied "are you Dave?" "Yes I am" I said to which he said "Hey man can you sell me a bag?"....... I came unglued, I screamed at him to get off of my property because I was going inside for a gun and when I came back outside with my .44 loaded he was already making tracks down the road. He happened to drive past another friends home & I knew Rob was sitting on his deck & looking in my direction so I called him to see if he knew who'd just left my house. He told me "no" & I told him what'd just happened, real quietly he said "Hey meet me in town right now."

    So when I caught up with him in town he told me that his wife Tanya had been speaking with Pam about her kids & social services problem when Pam told her that they'd narced me out! Rob told me of the conversation claiming to need "just a single buy to bust Dave"

    I went right home and called Mike the kop, I cussed him up and down for pulling shyt like that on me, Mike denied it all of course. He said "I know you smoke that stuff & you're getting it from some dealer." I told him, "hey every once in a while a friend splits a bag with me & that's NOT dealing." I even quoted him word for word on needing a "single buy to bust Dave." He then asked me where I'd heard this nonesense to which I replied, "My neighbor Tony felt so bad for narcing me out that he came over to confess and to smoke a joint, and of course I obliged him."

    Oh BABY! there was the dead silence on the other end of the call, the kind of silence that says GOTCHA! I caught that little piggie with his shorts around his ankles, Mike ended the call a few seconds later saying, "well what a man does in his own house is his own business." Well no shyt Sherlock....... Pam & Tony took off for parts unknown within a couple of days.

    What can I say Barry, they were willing to allow a pass on child neglect by two alcoholics to bust somebody that had NEVER been accussed of nor ever been associated with selling pot previously, I was 100% a small time consumer, I had NEVER sold weed. I don't get it, what was the benefit to those children?

    Barry makes me proud to be an American. Political/social dissent and resistance to strong-arm police tactics are what it's all about.

  31. For those of you who are intimately involved in the coming Texas constitutional shitstorm that is about to hit the Texas courts of lies:

    I consider trial by jury as the only anchor ever yet imagined by man, by which a government can be held to the principles of its constitution. -Thomas Jefferson

    If the machine of government is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law. -Henry David Thoreau

    If there is no struggle, there is no progress. -Frederick Douglass

    It does not take a majority to prevail... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men. -Samuel Adams

    It is not desirable to cultivate a respect for the law, so much as for the right. -Henry David Thoreau

    The thing worse than rebellion is the thing that causes rebellion. -Frederick Douglass

    ...Word. Let's launch the libertarian love-fest!

    ...BC4AG! BC4AG! BC4AG! BC4AG!

    Woot! Woot!
