When is it OK to shootup the city council???
Anytime as long as you say "Shoot the Mayor" first.
and after my experiences with town councils, I am not entirely sure if this is actually a crime.

McNichols also said the shooter fired at the city attorney, who tried to fight off the attacker by throwing chairs.
Leave it to an attorney to fight like a girl...
no telling what could happen....

Hmmm, Choad, I just tried to quote you, but got a "bad request" prompt.
Anywho, "if it bleeds, it leads" seems to have gone the way of the horse and carriage, at least as far as Iraq is concerned....
I remember as a child seeing Vietnam war footage on TV every fucking night. From the time I started watching TV until I was 16. Maybe if this were still the case, we wouldn't be in Iraq right now.
Sorry for going off-point, but the phrase struck me. BTW, where the hell is everybody?
Now it appears you have deleted your post entirely....

Yuh, I don't see anyone else here tard enough to discuss their work histories, never mind identify themselves by name. How fucking dumb is it for a known shit disturbing hasbeen without any suck to mouth off about the good old days... especially after years of eluding the student loan vultures and countless political hacks by writing under assumed names?
You're right about Iraq but what more do you need to know? It's a nightmare without end by design, destabilizing the entire region in fond hope of controlling the planet's energy supplies.
What should worry all of us more is we no longer have a fucking clue how the neighbors we elect to serve us are robbing us blind while no one watches. Yeah, news reporting is a horse and buggy anachronism but if it bleeds, it still leads. Murder and mayhem always writes itself; entertains and never nourishes.

The City Council meets at 7:00 p.m. on the first and third Thursday of each month at Kirkwood City Hall, 139 South Kirkwood Road. The public is invited to attend. A time for public comments is provided for at the beginning of each meeting.
Sounds like they got a comment.

Thornton was well-known at Kirkwood City Hall, often making outrageous comments at public meetings, according to a 2006 article in the weekly Webster-Kirkwood Times.
The newspaper quoted Swoboda as saying in June 2006 that Thornton's contentious remarks over the years created "one of the most embarrassing situations that I have experienced in my many years of public service."
Swoboda's comments came during a council meeting attended by Thornton two weeks after Thornton was forcibly removed from the council chambers. The mayor said at the time that the council considered banning Thornton from future meetings but decided against it.
"The city council has decided that they will not lower themselves to Mr. Thornton's level," Swoboda said at the meeting. "We will act with integrity and continue to deal with him at these council proceedings. However we will not allow Mr. Thornton, or any other person, to disrupt these proceedings."
"It's like a small town in St. Louis," Linehares told The Associated Press. "You can call it Mayberry."
I guess Barney couldn't get the bullet out of his pocket quite fast enough tonight.
Just down the street from City Hall is the Imo's pizzeria once managed by Michael Devlin, the man who kidnapped Shawn Hornbeck when the boy was just 11 in 2002 and held him for four years before authorities rescued Hornbeck from Devlin's Kirkwood apartment in January of last year. Rescued with Shawn was Ben Ownby, another teenager Devlin abducted just days before Devlin's arrest.
Those crimes netted Devlin multiple life terms on state charges, as well as 170 years behind bars on federal charges that he made pornography of Shawn.
City Hall also is about a block from a park now named for former Kirkwood police Sgt. William McEntee, a 43-year-old father of three when he was slain in 2005 by a man who witnesses said blamed police for the collapse death of his 12-year-old half-brother two hours earlier.
Remember, it's like Mayberry.
