15. California is collapsing in on itself.

Sat Dec 27, 2014, 06:51 PM

Dec 2014

Their Governor, whom I once admired, seems more and more to be just another idiot.

This ''judge'' is a clown.

And this ''law'' is SHIT -- Fascist Madness.

''A California law, legislated in 2000, that allows the prosecution of anyone that benefits from gang violence to be charged.''

By this metric Corrections Corporation of America should be charged. Who're even demanding more ''product'' for their human storage warehouses.

Every policeman and woman and employee of any and all police departments in California should be charged.

Hollywood and every goddamned gangster film, and all the theaters that showed the movies.

The Governor should charge himself.

This is ludicrous and yet somehow completely California. In other words totally sketzoid.

- This is one of the reasons I look forward to the upheaval of all this madness (and it is coming make no mistake about it). Stupid shit like this......
