To Patriot: Dude, you are an idiot. Obviously someone forgot to take their medicine. I can't wait to get back from my second tour in Iraq so I can keep arresting other idiots like you. Go ahead and keep ranting, it's you're right to do so. But what you are starting to sound like is a domestic terrorist. You sound like the type of person who reads conspiracy blogs and then takes it to heart as fact, instead of the interesting yet fictional reading it is. Just remember buddy, when some other idiot is driving while impaired and he hits you're vehicle, don't come crying to me because I am just a traitor, remember? Oh, and to who ever it was who was talking about paying our salaries...WE PAY TAXES TOO!!! So we pay just as much into our salaries as you do, IDIOT!!! I mean really, I knew there were dumb people in this world, but geez.

GPD had them a mighty checkpoint last night coming into Greenville on 264 at Hastings Ford. Seemed like a dumb spot since most of the college crowd that way uses the bus to go downtown. Then again, a college degree isn't needed to be a cop. I went thru it and they didn't really check me out but cost me some time on my nightly copperhead run.
