Comments on: The Unwritten Portions of the Rules and Regulations Governing Conduct on Federal Property Supersede the First Amendment http://www.popehat.com/2008/08/27/the-unwritten-portions-of-the-rules-and-regulations-governing-conduct-on-federal-property-supersede-the-first-amendment/ A Group Complaint about Law, Liberty, and Leisure Thu, 09 Feb 2012 22:39:39 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: tgb http://www.popehat.com/2008/08/27/the-unwritten-portions-of-the-rules-and-regulations-governing-conduct-on-federal-property-supersede-the-first-amendment/comment-page-1/#comment-8971 tgb Thu, 28 Aug 2008 00:19:14 +0000 http://www.popehat.com/?p=1829#comment-8971 Private security guards are always a source of amusement. When I was attending CCNY, security was contracted to Wackenhut. I won't say what we called them, except it ended in "-offs". Anyway, this being the 60's/early 70's and the time of real social protest, someone came up with the brilliant idea of arming these yabobs. The VERY FIRST DAY, one of them shot off his toe while twirling his firearm on his finger, "wild-West" style. The guns were confiscated the next day.

Where do they find these people?

The unemployment line? Support groups for recently fired burger-flippers?

Small, petty people, given petty power, tend to overindulge in it.
