But to the OP, I don't blame wills for not wanting to get arrested. This would put my right to purchase firearms in danger, put my ability to stay employed in a spot and really, I'm not going to get arrested for disorderly conduct to protest a candidate for public office when I can exercise the ultimate protest of that candidate on election day.
Actually, the ability to stay employed, and much less the ability to purchase a firearm, are the least of Wills' concerns. He used to be in law-enforcement, probably an Omaha Steve sort of position, but is now pretty much wiped away by AIDS.
It's one of the textbook examples showing the callousness, the selfishness, the insensitivities, of the Bernie bullies (Wills had been leader of those supporting Messalina Agrippina), who deserve no compassion, no compassion at all, no matter their own problems, from the rest of us.
If one of the Bernie bullies is dying a slow lingering painful death, whoop-de-do; one wishes the Bernie bully a much longer stretched-out life. The longer, and the more pain, the better. Ha-ha.
The big guy in Bellevue, Omaha Steve, is a Bernie bully, and constantly demands (and unfortunately gets) sympathy from other primitives because he's "sick," "terminal."
The Bernie bullies however gave no such consideration to Wills (who never whines about his ailment, and long ago accepted responsibility for it), beating up and mauling this very ill person using the jury system to get him blocked off of Skins's island during most of the Democrat primaries.
And trust me, twinkie-toes HRMjustin wasn't man enough to carry the load of leadership (for those supporting Messalina Agrippina) alone. Even with help, he's of doubtful utility.
Both Wills and the fat hairy jerk are Democrats, liberals, and primitives, but it's pretty obvious which one is the gentleman, and which one isn't.
