Bill Whittle, an apparently influential member of the Republican/Teaparty/Conservative movement and blogger, was invited to address a Republican gathering in Texas. His sick humor was enjoyed by all in attendance especially his suggestion that shooting at people in cars with California plates is fun and a necessity for all true red blooded patriotic Texans.
And get this, the Republican god Ted Cruz and wannabe Texas governor Rick Perry have benefited from Whittle’s advice on previous occasions. He’s told them about his shooting idea before.
“I’ve said this several times in Texas before and I’ve said it to Mr. Cruz as a representative of the Texas government, I’ve said it to Governor (Rick) Perry directly, and now I’m going to say it to you as individual Texas citizens.
“You will see a lot of cars coming from the west heading east on Interstate 10, and they’re going to have California license plates on them. Now, if you see these cars pull into rest areas or hotels or restaurants, that’s fine; wave goodbye, make sure they go out on the Louisiana end.”
“But if you see them pull off into residential areas,you need to open fire on these vehicles immediately. Immediately. Not with 9mm or AR rounds; you need to put mortars on those things, you cannot take any chances.”
“What is the worst that can happen to you? I mean honestly, this is Texas, right? You’ll stand in front of a Texas judge, he’ll say, ‘did you shoot up that car full of Californians?’ You’ll say, ‘yes,’ he’ll say, ‘why?’ You’ll say, ‘well, your honor, they needed killing, and he’ll say ‘okay, we’ll strike a medal in your honor’ and off you go.”
The Conservative/Republican/Teparty group’s trigger-happy fingers must have twitched with anticipation as the crowed rejoiced at the thought.
