You go, Georgia!

A Georgia man panicked parents and children at a local park and baseball field by randomly walking around and displaying his gun to anyone he encountered in the parking lot. According to witnesses who spoke with WSB-TV, the man wandered around the Forsythe County park last Tuesday night showing his gun to strangers, telling them “there’s nothing you can do about it.”

Just what exactly did you think would happen when you pass these kinds of laws? That people would behave in a civilized manner?  Really?

Police brutality

At its most stupid and unnecessary show of power:

NYPD Deputy Inspector has been identified. I hope he thinks his smirking delight in spraying pepper spray into the faces of corralled women protesters was worth it. He's just made a whole bunch more people angry and rededicated to the cause.
