The Battle of Athens

Rodge:

I never heard about this but I believe something like this could happen again but on a much larger scale.

This is a short film, but the incident really did happen. Athens is about 20 or 25 miles north Cleveland, Tenn.
Please watch this to the end.

This is the real reason why we have the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution of the United States

It reminds me of the 2008 CA primary that my husband and I volunteered as poll workers. After polls closed the guy in charge was to transport the ballots to city hall in the presence of a second poll worker in the same vehicle. At the last minute this woman couldn't do the ride along and we were asked to follow the ballot car as witnesses. On a curvy two lane road with double yellows that azzhole took off like a bat out of hell passing on the dbl yellow and left us in the dust. No excuse given.

At the actual election day the electronic machine wouldn't allow me to vote for a R candidate. I complained and was able to use another machine. No surprises there. Moral of the story? Shoot the bastards.; 4/29/12, 2:24 PM

One of them said that one of the veterans involved had fought as a Marine across the Pacific and said that nothing Cantrell could possibly do could be worse than what he'd just lived through.; 4/29/12, 7:23 PM
Chadd said...: Webrider - Minnesota's not full of Scots-Irish hillbillies, either. When I was growing up in the 70s, there were still feuds going on dating back to the Civil War.; 4/29/12, 7:33 PM

"Remember Athens, Tennessee"
I may find a use for that.
Thanks.; 4/29/12, 7:43 PM

Nope, Minnesota is full of Norwegian, Swede, Danes, and a bunch of Finns and Germans thrown in just for the bloody hell of it. There is a reason for "Minnesota Nice." When Norse feud, it doesn't last for generations. We erase the whole village, sack the monastery, and burn the keep to the ground. Pays to be polite in such company, and that is often misread as soft. Slow to anger, slower to forgive. And Al "Found Ballots in my Buddy's Trunk" Franken is about as Minnesotan as Hillary! is a New Yawker. We do, however seem to have a habit of electing jack-holes to high office. Puzzling. Our current Governor is a mentally unstable alcoholic, and a previous one is a 9/11 Truther with a penchant for feather boas (NTTAWWT). Go figure
