Connecticut’s gearing up for the most important election ever in 2012! “VERNON – A man dressed as a ninja waving nunchucks on a street corner this morning was arrested and charged with breach of peace, police said. Police said they received numerous emergency calls about the man, who was standing on the corner of Route 83 and Regan Road at about 11 a.m. Police said Garland Eastman, 30, of 335 Center Road, was yelling about wanting to beat up U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman, among other diatribes, but he became polite and cooperative after officers started pulling out their bean bags and taser guns.” Eastman/Santelli ’12. Remember that time Barack Obama beat the shit out of Joe Lieberman on the Senate floor? That was great. [Hartford Courtant via Gothamist]

I, for one, always become polite when officers pull out their bean bags.
Waving nunchucks at a busy intersection in broad daylight is not ninja.
Yeah, well, Joe Lieberman is still a prat. So there.
[re=432297]filmsoncon[/re]: I get strangely aroused.
Dude should get a Nobel Peace Prize.
[re=432299]Humpback[/re]: Correct. At Hartford intersections, it is the kusarigama which is the weapon of choice.

Unless you’re Chris Farley.
Wish I’d read the headline before making my lame contribution.
Don’t bean bag me, bro!
Wait, did Ken make a wrong turn at Oxnard?
[re=432310]V572625694[/re]: who can “read” when that picture is there.
Rush, renaming the Rams the Spiders isn’t going to make your purchase any more popular.
“he became polite and cooperative after officers started pulling out their bean bags and taser guns.”
The inventor of bean bags and taser guns should get the peace prize.
Lieberman gained his superzero powers after being bitten by a radioactive Lieber.
[re=432297]filmsoncon[/re]: Taser bags, on the other hand…
He sounded crazy at first. But then I got to the part about Lieberman.
Alt-text win, Jim! Thanks for thinking of us lil’ people.

Brandishing an AR-15 and yelling about how President Obama is a traitor: protected speech.
Brandishing nunchukus and wanting to beat up Joe Lieberman: crime.
Sense of proportion in America: priceless.
Epic ninja fail.
I would like to give this man money and pie, as I respect his opinion re: Lieberman. In addition, I would like to echo said opinion, and expand upon it by adding various references to excrement and other bodily fluids.
Thank you for your time and kind attention.
[re=432372]SayItWithWookies[/re]: We already know how Justice So-So’s gonna rule when Numbnut v. Nunchukus hits the Supreme Court.
Joe Lieberman would defeat any ninja with his superhuman boredom powers.
[re=432372]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Its called “pulling a Scarborough”. Joe–What about these birthers, arent they crazy? Yeah well the democrats thought Bush was illegitimate too when Bush won that landslide in 2000, same difference.
Now this is the Connecticut I know and love.

Vernon, Conn. is also the natal home of ex-NFLer Bill “Psycho-killer, je me lance vers la gloire… OK” Romanowski.
Through the efforts of Garland Eastman, the Vernon tradition lives on.
