If Los Angeles wants to boycott Arizona, it had better get used to reading by candlelight.

That's the message from a member of Arizona's top government utilities agency, who threw down the gauntlet Tuesday in a letter to Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa by threatening to cut off the city's power supply as retribution.

Big mouth LA liberals deserve what they get. Stupid people didn’t read the AZ law but, as all liberals do, jumped on the AZ people for trying to protect themselves. I guess if some in LA decided to riot again and burn their city to the ground, the liberals idiots would feel sorry for the rioters or would they just let them do it. I hope they wouldn’t allow that to happen for one reason - the liberal idiots would have to move to some other city and contaminate the country.
