"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.
Lefties always forget that Kent State was a shutout. Ohio NG 4, Lefties 0.
JACKPOT !!
Goat manure tea, makes a great fertilizer. I'll bet the greenery along his fence line could use an organic boost...
I'll bet he could find some local volunteers to help him do chores today.
Good - this time, shoot the instigators rather than the folks in the background.
This is Texas. That would not be a Good Idea.
