Who said mobs have leaders? Also, a herd may or may not be domesticated; if it is then it has a leader, that being some human.

Ah, “disorderly conduct.” One of the elastic “crimes” which along with obstruction, disturbance, loitering, impeding, etc. are only crimes if the authorities feel like it. I say we all act a little less orderly around them, then maybe the bar will have to be reset to a reasonable height.

LOL, 34 years ago I worked in Lansford, Tamaqua was the "big city".

I also damn near got killed coming down 309 from Hazleton in an ice storm, slid most of the way, best gas mileage I ever got.

Kid would be doing 20 to life if he had a rubber band hooked to his finger.

Yeah, this doesn’t sound like the Tamaqua I remember, not at all.

Haven't you heard? A horde of liberals have moved there to escape the crime in Allentown.

When liberals move in, common sense moves out.

can they use a tomahawk chop motion? How about imitating shooting a bow and arrow? A finger across the throat? Smashing an invisible bottle and it in a dangerous manner? All /s

This is “zero tolerance” which is actually zero intelligence.

So I guy I work with gets mad driving to work and makes the pointed (gun) finger gesture at a lady. The lady calls the cops. They find him at work (maybe she followed his car). They search the car, they find a gun. He has a concealed permit, so no gun violation (obviously he never touched the gun in regard to the lady, and wasn’t about to). My company fires him for having a gun on their property (which companies can do in Texas, at least back then). I’m not sure if criminal charges were filed on him for “threatening” her with the gesture.

He’s a good guy, was great to work with (never prone to anger at work), and I wish him well. But it shows how a little “comment” can escalate and not only ruin your day, but, in his case at least, likely ruin your career and retirement also (and maybe the ability to pay for your kids to get worthless degrees from college).

Ooooh Noooo! The finger gun. Thats what I do to the illegal aliens who cruise past our house staring into our garage to see what they can come back and steal. You would not believe the positive effect it has on them. :-)
