24. If you get in my face in public
Edited on Wed Mar-09-11 08:33 AM by The Wizard
I have the right to punch you in the face. Westboro makes a good case for euthanasia. Abusing the bereaved can result in severe harm to the abusers.
You know why no one spit at me when I returned from Vietnam? Because I would have caused them more trouble than they had ever seen in their entire lives.
It's kind of like kicking a bee hive.
