You also practice your approach. You must not walk up quickly or dwadle. You do kind of a Queen Victoria approach slow but steady. When you get close you lean down and say, "Turn all the way around in your seat Tommy and face the front of the class."toadoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12821769510849208141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-47851026174052529302009-04-18T20:41:00.000-05:002009-04-18T20:41:00.000-05:00AM radio?

Like that's going to happen.<br />One should know that the Border Patrol, at least in Texas, is often one man, out with a horse, cut off from all semblance of civilization for weeks at a time, speaking, if at all, Spanish, and having no one near enough to come to his rescue should he need it.<br />Most illegal aliens (no, they are not 'undocumented foreign nationals') from Mexico aren't inclined to violence, but the coyotes who frequently bring them in certainly are.<br />Our Border Patrol people live lives of constant tension.<br />The person in question appears to have decided to brace a few of these people, then stand on his "rights" which is just plain dumb and stupid.<br />Having had generations of Baptist ministers in my family (including one who was a Sergeant, Regimental Color Bearer, AND SURVIVED, in the Civil War) I can tell you that they tend to be a mouthy lot, very much inclined to stand upon "their rights," and not averse to involking religious privilege. The idea that "I'm a preacher and can do no wrong" is not an uncommon mindset.<br />The idea of Shut Up, Do What the Officer Says, and Get On With It, is totally without their ken. However, using any and all publicity to their advantage, exaggeration notwithstanding, is not in the least bit onerous to them.<br />Why is the fact that this guy is white and a Baptist minister of any consequence?<br />How much hoo-hah would have been raised had this person been a Mexican 'wetback?'<br />ON the other hand, a Mexican 'wetback' is smart enough to do what the man with the gun says to do, and not dare him.<br />LawMomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-84635375884048693432009-04-18T09:01:00.000-05:002009-04-18T09:01:00.000-05:00What the Border Patrol troopies comment got me won...What the Border Patrol troopies comment got <I>me</I> wondering was...<br /><br />How does one pull off Officially Having No Sense Of Humo(u)r when you do, in fact, have a sense of humo(u)r?
