Here’s probably what happened: Bars closed. Hillbilly staggers out to his car. Jagermeister kicks in, starts hallucinating about Mexicans crawling across the border, decides he needs to do something about it, drives over to the Mexican consulate, since it’s only a few blocks away, and opens up.

That’s possibly the saddest selfie ever. Also, I think we can now agree that the whole renaissance fair thing is harmful to one’s mental health.

Not that there aren’t weird people participating in Renaissance fairs or their non-commercial inspiration the SCA, but in my experience they work out their aggression issues by bashing each other with rattan swords.

Martin…no…not a tea party tri-corner. That’s rennaissance fair stuff, not tin foil. And fooling with the weapons? Is that illegal now? But maybe he did have something against Mexicans. After all their government is corrupt. And what he did was clearly wrong and it seems in this case the police acted appropriately.
The latest in MadTeaHatter head gear…

“If someone has a gun and is trying to kill you, it would be reasonable to shoot back with your own gun”. Obviously this man is a true spiritual seeker to focus on that quote from the Dalai Lama.
How about this one, Steve? “Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can’t help them, at least don’t hurt them.”

Paging Darrell Issa… What did Coburn know, and when did he know it? And why hasn’t Mitch McConnell denounced this as an act of terrorism?
