So far, what it says in the article is boat and private jets. I have
neither. But, as I suspected long ago, it will
just be a metter of time before they go after my Corben and my F-150.
I still stand by my original belief that the
knee-jerk reactions are just a convenient cover to take away our
freedoms. I don't need the government to protect
me...I can use my own guns to wipe out terrorists...

Have any of you ever been walking down the street, just minding your own
business, when a cop stopped you and asked to
see your ID? Have you ever said no? Did you pay the price for saying no?
This has been going on for years,and no-one
seems to give a damn....

I was walking off some steam about 1 a. m. in Asheville, NC. A cop
stopped me and asked me what I was doing there. I was walking through
the parking lot of a bowling alley about 2 blocks from my home. I was
out getting exercise, I told him.

He asked me for I. D. I told him I had none. Then I asked him wth
he was doing shaking down local residents out for a peaceful
neighborhood stroll. He did not answer. He then demanded that I
accompany him to my home to show him who I was. I refused. "I have
done nothing wrong. You're not going to shake me down," I said. He
then threatened me with arrest for resisting, delaying and obstructing
a police officer in the performance of his duties.

I told him that by god if he arrested me he'd better have a charge
that stuck or I would be owning a 2d lien on his mobile home. "Do
you have nothing better to do than to menace private citizens on the
street doing absolutely nothing illegal?" I asked him.

"I am not "mincing" you," he said.

He started to put his hands on me. "NO, don't you touch me," I said.

After a few minutes he said, "You can go. Go ahead." I walked away
immediately.

I saw him a few weeks later about the same time and he waved at me. I
think I taught the little gnatsie a lesson.


You just got lucky. He probably didn't figure you were worth it.
