What in the hell is going on around here?

What in the hell is going on around here?
Background for the un-initiated:

November 2010 saw Francisco Rivero elected on platform of transparency and reform with the help of an indicted pot grower and a character assassination blog. Not quite our proudest day but not as bad as some other days. Actually the jury is still out on this one so stay tuned.
Francisco didn't like anything or anyone remotely associated with the former Sheriff so he set out wiping the slate clean by changing the deputies uniforms, destroying the Office of Emergency Services, firing volunteer reserves, demoting some officers and promoting others, taking away correctional officers guns and coffee then giving them a cartoon badge, unplugging the kitchen at the Lowerlake substation,alienating every other law enforcement agency in this county and those of neighboring Mendocino, picking fights with local government officials and squabbling with the state and the county over courthouse security which it turned out wasn't his call.

And then things got weird.

Loaded for Lunch

"Lying in my plastic bed thinking how things weren't so cool to me; my baby likes to shoot pool. I like lyin' naked in my bedroom, tying on the dinosaur used to be so cool," Sheriff Francis crooned as he opened his talk to the Middletown luncheon club.

Nobody really knows what he meant by that but everyone clapped because, well, the guy was strapping a loaded .40 cal while talking to a bunch of senior citizens and you know how it is when the crazy folk start talking.

You just try to avoid eye contact. Anyone that has ever seen the damage a .40 can do to a door jamb just plain knows better.

The Sheriff continued his talk by explaining his legal position that did not include extending civil rights to those citizens he considered undeserving of constitutional protection that he'd rather exclude from the LC.

Explaining his justification for attempting to block the motorcyclists he feared might enter the county Francis shouted at the assembled elderly folk.

"I will just not allow that to happen," he raved, "I cannot just allow 200 plus bikers to get into this county. They don't have civil rights, those civil rights don't exist - that's a myth. There is no controversy this is your government hard at work," he ranted.

"Would I do it again? The answer is yes!"

Sure glad my dear old mum lives behind those gates that keep her in and him out cuz she's a mean mama jama motorlovin' biker chick and if she'd heard all this she would probably have been rude and put her plastic cup of tea down hard on the fold-up table.

That would be ugly.

But don't take my word for it, here's the clip: http://youtu.be/1SqF8JUwjXU
