I work just a few miles north of where the sniper shot the kid at school, and not too far south from where George Wallace was shot. I live in Annapolis, however.
Artie Bremer, Milwaukee's own.
Now, a little insight on how fuct my (father's) line is; namely, my father: sometime in the late 70s or early 80s ('78 or '81 seem to stick in my head as the probable year), George Wallace did a speaking engagement in Milwaukee. Now, say what you will about his pre-retirement politic, and joke how you want about it in private or on a comedy club stage, but at a public appearance, afore the cameras, show a modicum of interest (Henry Rollins' whole, "Don't boo the Klansman when he speaks. Listen to him, find out how your enemy thinks. If you boo him though, he'll just 'sieg heil' and storm off the stage."). Anyway, at this Milwaukee appearance, my father had a gaggle of recovering "radicals" don Artie Bremer cut-away masks as they sat in the audience.
I am sure that went over well in the reporting on the event.
And for those who say, "Yeah, but you listen to Slipknot, and advocate for Tommy Lee", I respond, Well, exactly. Those are rock artists, oft pulling their shenanigans on-stage, at rock-concerts, frivolous events that are meant explicitly for fun. A George Wallace, or Louis Farrakhan, or Bob Novak, or Pat Buchanan, or Howard Dean, or Dick Lugar (not to be confused with our own), or Bill Clinton, or George H.W. Bush, or whatever appearance is supposed to be for more substantive presentation and dialogue. Yes, you can ask some biting, somewhat sarcastic questions, in the wrap-up q-and-a, or protest outside the event, but inside the hall, tact, please.
I mean, I couldn't see lefties standing by if, say, an abortion was being performed in an old-time surgical theatre and a gaggle of anti-abortionists were sat in the gallery wearing David Gunn masks. So, capische.
