and doing that illegal thing knowing youre going to be ticketed/arrested for it. My problem with these idiots is that they want to do the illegal things (clearly) but then they want to bitch about tyranny when the Law DOES ITS JOB. It's a half-assed, half-illiterate HALF-EDUCATED attempt at Civil Disobedience, and I hope sincerley that Federal, State, and County Law Enforcement 'educate' them until it HURTS.
