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.

Language Skills

Sometimes when legal intimidation doesn't work out the way you plan you have to resort to other forms of intimidation. Carrying a gun lends itself to all kinds of neat body language things you can do to convince people that your strong arm tactics aren't to be ignored.

Of course, people have to notice.

Seems francis wasn't too pleased when the soup declined to write him a blank check so he attempted to use a little old-school body language to let em know who's boss. Kinda like hanging a gun outta yer belt when you're in court or in class but slightly more subtle.

Only Jeff Smith seemed to notice the gesture and you can see Jeff pause as it occurrs to him... 'so this is it, this is how it all ends...'

Relieved that he was just imagining things, Jeff puts on his glasses and the mirage fades away.



But nobody else paid attention so francis didn't achieve what was probably the desired result.

That meant it was time to scuttle off with Mr. Coke and a Smile to go find the phone number for his favorite legal advisor and get some tips on more successful intimidation tactics or something.
