Bob Fulcher stood frozen on Market Square with his arms stretched out like he was waiting for a hug. "I wanted to do it. I wanted to be here and I wanted to be a part of the human furniture that was laid out about the beauty of humanity," the 58-year-old said after participating in a frozen flash mob Friday evening. From a woman taking a sip from her cup to two men in mid-fight with lightsabers, Market Square was taken over by several hundred people who stood frozen for five minutes.

I will guarantee the hit job the media put on Republicans and Hillary catapulted this numbnut no record into office. They will defend this guy to their own death.

He is an idiot. I would bet that one-third of our engineers voted for this clown. Maybe he will pull another Greek showing in Denver. It would be quite appropriate. PHHHHHT!!

That’s true, we might as well enjoy the sight before flash mobbing is like totally taken over by the hoods. If they’re actually obstructing pedestrian traffic that’s not so cool, because it could be a set up for some robberies. But a group not obstructing the public gathering suddenly in an open area and doing something showy, that’s very American in a way.

Eww, gay!

Some big Bertha type of woman should have waddled up and given him the hardest bear hug of his life.

I have some plinkers around but my aim needs to get better. I did nail a 6x4” sign at 20yds with my Glock 23.

I didn’t even know it, it was 2:00AM. :^)

Yep. Most Americans have taken it all for granted for too long and now it’s going to hurt. What disgusts me most is how the rest of us are going to feel it too.

I lost all my guns in a boating accident.

I live in a residential area. I went out, fired the pistol at the target and went back inside. Next day one target was discovered to be severely wounded.

Unfortunately, after learning I could control the weapon properly I decided to share with others. We went fishing at Center Hill and our rowboat capsized. All contents were lost. The guns were the least of my worry as all of my compatriots made it back to shore safely. We sang songs and ate spam for the next two days.

I am sorry, but these “flash mobs” are so stupid, and seem to me like hipster idiocy.

At least it wasn’t like some of the more, ahem, colorful flash-mobs I’ve been reading about recently.

If it was, I can almost guarantee that shots would have been fired. Unlike cities like Chicago and Philly, most of Tennessee has not yet been wussified.
