Didn't see the vid but I think the cops used a hand-held stun gun to zap a guy who was lying on the pavement with officers on top of him. To me, the guy was at an unfortunate intersection of four groups commonly subjected to discrimination by the police: cyclists, drunks, college students, and smart alecs who don't follow orders.

It was sold and I took another one to booth and some rude lady refused the shirt and called me a troublemaker. I had the artwork and 6 shirts printed up at my expense. Democrat Women were so verbally abusive that I went home and got my Maverick McCain/Lubbock GOP shirts I used at last year's fair and some tall skinny guy went berserk and started screaming,"There's that troublemaker,down at the county booth". A friend of mine was at the booth and said several other booth owners cheered my McCain shirt and lady came up to me and said "I sure wish McCain had won." The booth guy at the entrance shook my hand and said "Bill Clinton is starting to look good compared to this Obama fella." I responded,"I was hoping Hillary would get the Dem nomination". I walked by Democrat booth waving and smiling in McCain Maverick shirt 3 days in a row and several of the women yelled expletives at me. Ysidrio Guiterrez told me at Giant Turkey Leg Booth,"Clif You're having too much fun at the fair". I told Ysidrio,"Can you believe those women couldn't name any of the 3 elected democrats at Lubbock County?" Ysidrio responded,"Wow,They are dumb". He was an elected democrat for 4 years. Too much fun at the fair!! I went to the “Fair Booth” and left a demo of a T-Shirt with the Democrat website logo that had small donkey/Lubbock Democratic Party.

Lubbockleft is troubled by a video that seems to depict too much government authority. This could be the 1st sign of the Apocalypse. Or you might be a closet Conservative (there is hope). Hmmmm.
