Going to elaborate?
The job fair was supposed to be from 1:00-4:00. I got there at 12:15 and the line was wrapped around the Genesis Center twice. I could not find the end of it, so I stopped looking when I ran into Sadclown and his GF. Over the next 2.5 hours we stood in the sun, shoulder to shoulder with thousands of other people, and advanced 10-20 feet every half hour or so. Somewhere between 2:45 and 3:00, I realized that those of us who were still that far away from the door would never get in. I was sunburned and sick from the heat, and was a bit concerned that the mob I was in the middle of might get angry if they were turned away at the end of the day. So I left.
Oh, and I never saw a sign of a LEO or security, although there may have been some in plain clothes. The only uniforms I saw were paramedics when a few people passed out from the heat.
You were lucky to leave when you did, we stayed till about 3:45 and we never did move again after you left. They were letting like 3 people in at a time every 10 minutes. Didn't even make a dent in the line.
And to add insult to injury, I hadn't driven the Jeep in a long time, and it didn't have enough gas to get home. I stopped at the Citgo station on 5th avenue near I-65, and unleaded was $4.79 a gallon. I got $10 worth and got the hell out of there.
Is there one this weekend?Gun show any one?
I'm not a fan of checkpoints, be they seatbelt or DUI types.
There is another thread on checkpoints.
INGOs po-po say that they're a waste of time, they'd catch more people if the officers working over were around town, actually observing people, instead of pulling everyone over.
I think they totally eliminate the "innocent till proven guilty" premise. And they are a violation of the 4th amendment.
Well, I was stuck over again at work. No meeting for me. I have a date with the shower, then the bed. Unless there's 2 sex starved beauties with a suitcase of money at my front door, I'm not getting up.
One wouldn't do it, huh?
Two more shifts and then I'm off for two weeks. Tried to get three weeks, but only got two approved. For getting 6 weeks paid vacation/year, I've never been approved to use more than two or three a year (and never consecutively)
