6:04pm – 1617 Summit – Intoxicated white male, 40, full beard, cammo jacket, yelling about Obama and Clinton at passersby.
the 6pm drug bust went down right outside my living room window. It was a sight to see with guns drawn and cops running around my house. It was scary b/c my 2 year old had a friend over. The cops grabbed the guy after a few minutes of searching and cuffed/put him in the car. There were a lot of cops fast! I’m so sick of all this damn drug activity!
22nd ave mother…
I’m curious as to what exactly this intoxicated gent was yelling. Was he pro-Obama or pro-Clinton, or was he railing against both?
6:04pm – 1617 Summit – Intoxicated white male, 40, full beard, cammo jacket, yelling about Obama and Clinton at passersby.
We never got a clear indication, but my impression was it was a series of general rants against both. I think McCain has got some very dedicated fans in the cammo-wearing world
