So this happened.
That’s our esteemed colleaugue Wes over at NC Renegade, enjoying an unscheduled and unsolicited visit from The Man. If you scroll down through the comments, you’ll see that he is hardly alone in that distinction. To his great credit, Wes seems to have conducted himself quite admirably, handling a seriously dangerous situation with backbone and finesse. Good on ‘im for that.
But with that in mind, and having for years seen all kinds of dot-gov IP’s in the CF server logs back when I used to check ’em, I feel it’s high time for me to rethink a few things, maybe do a little attitude-adjusting. Yep, starting now it’s a brand new day and a brand new way, so y’all are gonna be seeing some changes around this hogwallow, people, starting in 3…2…1…
Probably the last time I’ll be trotting out this deathless tune, more relevant now than it ever was before.
There is only one rule you *must* follow in *all* such situations, period, and Wes broke it:
NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, NEVER TALK TO THE POLICE. If you absolutely have to open your pie hole, only say, “I refuse to talk to you.” That, and no more. Nothing else.
Agree. 100%.
And that goes for any question up to and including, “Where’s the nearest restroom?”
If you don’t believe me, believe these guys:
