Camp Casey is becoming very organized, with how-to signs placed about. Ann Wright said, "That's what we are trying to do."
Let me read you the schedule posted on a tree: "9:15 camp meeting; 10 a.m. inter-faith service, 10:30 a.m., "Food-Not-Bombs Breakfast at Peace House," and....
"Wait! Someone is firing a gun. (pause). He fired it into the air about five times. He appears to be a local inside the fence line on private property. Now he has thrown what looks like a shotgun into the front seat of a pickup, and he's stomping off out of sight. I wonder where he went.
"Now he's coming back out. I'm out here standing on the road. He's got a no parking sign in his hand, walking toward his fence. I'm going to go try to talk to him. I've got to hang up."
(three minutes later)
I went over and talked to the man. He is Larry Mattlage, who says he is on his property and just posted a no-parking sign.
"We're going to start doing our war and it's going to be underneath the law," he told me. "Whatever it takes. So y'all go find another place to do whatever you do. 'Cause this is our front yard and back yard."
I asked, "Do you mean the protestors?"
Wait.....now there's some Secret Service and cops. I'm going to get closer to hear what they're saying. People in bullet-proof vests are here now. Two Secret Service agents are now walking up his driveway towards his house, with Mr. Mattlage. A member of the Sheriff's Department has arrived. Mr. Mattlage is waving his arms now. All of them are now walking back this way.
Now they are between the lane and the house. He's at the fence now. Let me record what they are saying. I'll call right back.

Well, just as long as it's okay with Cindy.
Seems Sheehan isnt as dumb as we thought.
She has a grasp on TX law.
She is a dangerous woman, the pied piper of useful idiots.
Thank God we have a voice to counter her BS
I don't know if you remember the news stories or not, but in one of the countries near Thailand (maybe it was Thailand) where Muslims were on a rampage, the Buddhists folded thousands of paper cranes for peace. Guess it didn't work: in about a week, there was another massacre.
Probably just trap/skeet shooting .
LOL.... well they aren't exactly the NYT. I suspect the gal is running to and fro and not sure what is going on.
Maybe the reporter stuck her tape recorder in the face of one of the Secret Service or local LEOs and was warned to back off? Maybe she didn't back off? Maybe she's cooling her Birkenstocks in the local pokey?
Give her time to make bail.
If it's in a rural area, it would be a nice time to fertilize with that liquid fertilizer (the organic kind) that they spray out the back of those trucks. Hoooie! Now THAT has a smell.
LOL. Can this stuff be delivered by crop duster? Nothing like a crop duster at 5' altitude at dawn.
Got to be kidding right?
Environmental regulations coupled with the recent eminent domain decision makes that clear. Add property taxes assessed annually for propery already owned makes owning a less apt term than leasing really.
Hmmmm.
Now this wouldn't be a planned distraction from her nasty anti-Israel comments today, would it?
Wonder if "detract from this nutcase" was on the schedule.
So now DU goes after the homeowner:
From his breeder's listing on a website specializing in those sorts of things.

Thank you for the update Kristinn. That all makes perfect sense, nothing sinister here and no backlash to be concerned over.
No kidding. Also all this bull crap by Hillary about nude "skins" My God, you can download nude skins for just about any game. (Some are better than others :-))
On the 9-11 1-yr anniversary, a Stafford County School held a paper-folding exercise. . .somehow this exercise was to mirror some story about paper doves folded by some little girl surviver of Hiroshima, and the school wanted kids to adopt non-violent protest by making doves out of paper. . .a middle east defense attache read about this and told me, as he laughed, that "the US is under attack and you teach your children how to fold paper!?"
Good grief! I hadn't heard this. I wonder how we would have fared in WWII if our nation was this PC back then.
"No, the Peace House is an anti war club the moonbats established in Crawford"
yeah, a place for them to grab free donuts, coffee and a roach clip.
Ping to post #110. I feel for this man now that DU has his personal info platered on their website.
There...that outta scare 'em but good.
"Cindy Sheehan was interviewed shortly after the incident, according to Ella at EllaGoes.Typepad.com:
Cindy Sheehan spoke to the press after this incident, and was asked if she thought the man had a right to fire his gun on his own property. Her response was to the effect that he certainly did, so long as the bullet stayed on his property, too."
But who is this Larry Mattlage? From the Houston Chronicle : But Larry Mattlage, who owns the farm across the road from where Sheehan and her supporters are encamped, was not pleased by the new visitors, who hung protest signs in the trees. Sitting on his parked tractor across the road, Mattlage said he supported the right to protest but that the demonstrators should not be allowed to stay for prolonged periods. "In the morning I usually wake up and see the morning sun," he said. "Now I wake up to stuff hanging in trees."
From The Western Star:
Her next-door neighbor, Larry Mattlage, spent part of Wednesday afternoon on his four-wheeler trying to prevent protestors from parking cars on the grassy easement in front of his goat farm. "I understand these people's cause. I appreciate that," he said. But, he added, "Everybody just wants to know when it's going to be over. Are we going to have to put up with this all summer?"
The lefties are salivating at the notion of bringing the war here, a la Kent State.
