Re: apropos list talk and our culture
I will admit to a guilty pleasure: the opening scene, where the BATF agent gets shot in the face, was delicious.
It is often said that American TV is utter rubbish, but surely this would be the saving grace of such a programme. I too experienced such an effect a few days ago, when exiting a stretch of dual-carriageway I saw a car accident up ahead, I slowed down to see what had happened and saw a police motorcycle crushed under a car`s wheels, and the badly injured officer being stretchered away to an ambulance, a grin spread accross my face and I started laughing. A fine sight. Of course this story, which, since it involves the injury (and, I sincerely hope, eventual death) of a jackbooted thug, has a sad side to it, The police bikes were being riden unsafely and without any regard for other motorists (they were in a convoy of about 30 bikes presumably guarding some statist motherfucker), but I would lay money that the driver who was hit by the cop bike is blamed and prosecuted for the accident.
