The staff of a bookstore called Sedition Books are upset that arson investigators called them anti-American and anti-federal government.
Firefighters arrived immediately and acted professionally, Browning
and Edgell said. But the mood changed when arson investigators began
questioning the men in separate rooms.“It looks like you guys are pretty anti-American ? what’s the deal
with that?” Browning recalled one asking. Sporting tattoos and pink
combat boots, Browning is opposed to the war in Iraq and against
American imperialism, but he denies being anti-American.“I was kind of shocked because I’m standing in the ruins of
something I put my life into. … I was just like, ‘Huh?’ He said,
‘Don’t you know capitalism runs everything?’“I said, ‘Are you here to investigate my political beliefs or the
fire?’ He said, ‘This is just my personal opinion. … I don’t
understand how somebody can live in this country and act the way you
do.’ “In another room, Edgell said, he also was put on the defensive by another arson investigator.
“He asked me what my political stance was. I said, ‘I’m an
anarchist.’ He said, ‘Oh? You don’t like the federal government much,
do you?”
Suck it up, weeny. See my post on Right Angles about the celebrated new wimpy man model of the left.
