(9,327 posts)my boyfriend and I, hippies in our early 20s, were doing a road trip around the country in a tricked out van with a dragon painted on the side. Shortly after entering the state of Missouri, the van broke down on the highway. We were trying to figure out what was wrong when along came a couple of cops. They looked the van over closely then radioed for a tow truck which took us to a garage close by. While the carburetor was being repaired, they sat in their car and waited across the street. When we got back in the van they came over and told us to leave the state and never come back. They did not want "our kind" in their state. They did follow us all the way to the border.
Well, I have never set foot in that state again and never will. I have also never purchased anything that came from there. I can assure you other states have benefited nicely from my visits. Screw 'em. They were evil back then and still clearly are. That photo does not surprise me in the least.
