Another Redneck Asshole

According to this story, Larry Mattlage, a 62-year-old neighbor of DUIbya's Texas "ranch" fired several rounds from his shotgun into the air, near the Cindy Sheehan protest site.

I have two words for Mr. Mattlage: You. Dumbass.

So far, Ms. Sheehan's protest has been a peaceful one. But all it would take to turn it violent is one fucktard like Mattlage doing something just like he did.

Fortunately, no one was hurt, and nothing violent came of it, but consider this: The crowd of protestors outside the Bush "ranch" is growing rapidly, and they are being joined by a number of counter-protestors. When we mix a highly emotional issue with people who strongly believe in their cause, then heat that mixture with a daily dose of strong Texas heat, you have a recipe for a tragedy waiting to happen.

So to you, Mr. Mattlage, I say this: Keep your gun unloaded and on its rack, you ignorant redneck asshole. The protestors will only be inconveniencing you for a few weeks. Ms. Sheehan has to deal with the pain of losing her son for the rest of her life!

And by the way, you may want to check out the nearest high-school physics book (assuming you can read--not necessarily a safe assumption!) and learn about gravity, kinetic energy, and what can happen when several lead pellets fired into the air inevitably come down.
