Brent Matthews: My new hero
« on: November 05, 2013, 08:12:13 AM »
I thought about putting this in "Entertainment"

Snark aside, I know nothing about this guy, and do not literally proclaim him as my hero. But give him credit for actually doing what many people will only allow themselves to fantasize...

Man Rolls a Severed Pig's Head into a Mosque.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

Oh, no I didn't know that. Oh well. Still ballsy.

Police say man in mosque controversy dies by own hand

Apr. 22, 2007

LEWISTON, Maine — A Lewiston man who rolled a pig’s head into a local mosque last summer, touching off tensions in minority communities in the city and beyond, shot and killed himself in a parking lot after a brief standoff with police, authorities said.

According to Lewiston police Sgt. Michael Whalen, 34-year-old Brent Matthews committed suicide after police tried to persuade him to put down a semiautomatic handgun, the Maine Sunday Telegram reported.

I wouldn't have wasted a perfectly good pig...that place was full of animals to pick on.
