UNLIMITED Arizona Hilarity thread

[Random Probability]

- Sheriff Joe goes around in the wilderness putting up little white crosses to remind undocumented immigrants how dead they ought to be.

Yep.

When Sheriff Joe finally croaks, there will be ten worse guys to take his place. It always happens like that: "George Wallace is dead! That old racist generation is dying out and things are going to change for the better now!"

NOPE. If you think it's bad now, wait ten or fifteen years.

Arizona is also the place where tiny little tornados come and pick up four-by-fours and whirl them around for a just second before disappearing. When you walk past piles of crap, there's always a chance something could float up and brain you.

See?  Even our airis weaponized!

Sheriff Joe Arpaio is doling out a harsh punishment to 38 prisoners who he considers 'unpatriotic' because they allegedly defaced American flags which were placed in their cells. Arpaio is putting them on a diet of bread and water for one week.

For their alleged unpatriotic acts, Arpaio said, they will be given just bread and water for sustenance.

Jesus.

Is this guy trying extra hard to get into heaven or what?

[Junkenstein]

I'm sure bread and water is going to make them much more patriotic. Taking bets as to which nations.

Dude is aware that burning a flag is 1st amendment protected speech, right?

I'm sure he's relying on the fact that they "destroyed jail property" to apply these consequences.

He doesn't care.  He could burn babies in the maternity ward and the yahoos would cheer him on.

What he set out to do here was be brutal in a visible way.

For his public.

This is the state in which I live.

Is this guy EVER going to be taken to court for his bullshit? He should have been imprisoned four years ago.

He probably made sure they ran completely out of toilet paper before he had the flags distributed.

No.  Eric Holder started to go after him for corruption, but wussed out.  Sheriff Joe could use Hispanics as firewood and nobody would do shit to him.

Not to be outdone by Kansas, guess who just sent a "Gays Not Allowed" bill to their govenor?

And check it:  It's anti-discrimination!

Sen. Steve Yarbrough, a Republican from Chandler, says the bill is to protect people's rights. "This bill is not about discrimination," Yarbrough said. "It's about preventing discrimination against people who are clearly living out their faith."

"We all have the right to our religious beliefs," Gallardo maintained. "But I do not agree that we have the right to discriminate because of our religious beliefs. I do not believe we have to throw our religious beliefs to others that don't share our same beliefs."

Someone needs to update this song.

If it's from Chandler, it's probably not going anywhere.  A bill introduced in Phoenix, Tempe, Scottsdale, or Mesa would be a different story.

Besides, none of that shit is enforceable any farther South than Casa Grande.

I don't usually get into these posts which are like WATCH ANDERSON COOPER ABSOLUTELY DESTROY A BIGOT AND KICK HIM IN THE NUTS type things,

but Cooper really kicks Arizona State Senator Al Melvin's ass, leaves him speechless and stammering a few times. Cooper actually gets the guy to claim that there is no discrimination AT ALL in Arizona. He just makes the guy look so dumb by asking basic questions, it's very satisfying to watch.

A Tuscon Police Officer recently pulled a gun on a gas station clerk. The officer, Kyle James McCartin, was in a drunken rage when he walked into a Giant Gas Station wearing only a bullet proof vest for a shirt. Almost immediately, he began pointing his pistol at the gas station clerk.

Authorities say that they received calls about this incident and dispatched deputies to the Giant Gas Station. There, they learned that two men had entered the store wearing bullet proof vests. One had indeed pulled out a handgun, as they had been informed on the 911 call, and pointed it at the clerk twice.

But apart from what the deputies discovered, the entire incident was caught on the gas station's surveillance camera, so there can be little white-washing of the drunken cops' actions.

The video is linked.

Using a stun-gun on the son of Clive Bundy is just like Tianneman Square....according to the Arizona Tea Party icon,  Arizona State Rep. Kelly Townsend.

"Watching that video last night created a visceral reaction in me," Townsend told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "It sounds dramatic, but it reminded me of Tiananmen Square. I don't recognize my country at this point."
