tumblr_mbb4h4cx8M1rgxbgpo1_500Once again the routine continues this early Monday on California’s north coast — thick-overcast, chilly and gray.
According to the NWS, however, we’re supposed to go from ‘mostly cloudy’ today, to ‘mostly sunny’ tomorrow, and maybe sunshine uninterrupted through next week. Maybe does mean perhaps…

Bullshit, and everybody concerned knows it. What mental facilities are required to create and then hold a contest, knowing and fully understanding that said-contest would be way-offensive to a shitload of people? Hate-bait brains, of course.

Event organizers knew what to expect, however. There was a load of off-duty police on hand as extra security — one of the guards was slightly wounded — and a SWAT team waiting behind the building. Garland police spokesman Joe Harn: ‘“We were prepared for something like this.”

Crazy just makes more crazy…
