When I lived in Idaho we had a HUGE to do back in 2000. In North Idaho there is a (very) large White Supremist presence. They even had a large compound there where they trained, recruited, and lived. One day there was an incident involving a black woman and her child. One of the gate guards heard the woman's car backfire and thought someone was taking a shot(the compound used to get drive-bys on a regular basis). He returned fire(the gate guards are armed with rifles. It's legal on private property in Idaho). The woman then took the WHOLE GROUP to court, lawyers and media maggots came out of the woodwork, the supremists lost their compound, which was bought by a CA millionaire and turned into an anti-hate museum.
Now, my objection is this: The guard f*cked up. He was arrested and charged with unlawful discharge of a firearm and attempted murder. He's currently in the state pen. THE GUILTY PARTY WAS PROPERLY PUNISHED!! But no, that's not good enough. The left-wing, anti-bloody-everything-that-we-dont-like groups came outta the friggin woodwork and forced these people out. They claimed the shooting was 'A hate crime' and 'racially motivated'. WTF??
Now personally, I cant stand those skinhead bastards. BUT...They have just as much right to say what they want as I do. And it frost my cookies that a bunch of whining socialist types can get them shut down with NO CAUSE WHATSOEVER!! I guess free speech is only allowed as long as it's the PC version. GRRRRRRR

Anyway... [img]graemlins/rant.gif[/img] over. I'm sorry if this is too [img]graemlins/offtopic.gif[/img] I think I had a somewhere point about censorship, but it got buried under the indignation. The whole incident still gets me
