Godzilla attacked Henrico.
Aaah so, grasshopper has seen the previews. Can't wait for the feature presentation.

Apparently our forum has been overrun by middle-schoolers who may not realize that Google can (if poorly) translate Chinese...

My Engrish is not being goods enough? I try harder, please.

More filing(s) were accomplished today. Bubble, bubble, toil, and.............The stew thickens.

:p

My original "Chinese" contribution was a Firefly reference, and also I think a suitable punishment for those in Henrico responsible for this debacle – so long as it's public.

OK, dag nab it. How'd you do the totally hidden quoted reference.

I occassionally, use the $2.00 garden variety, but would love to learn that trick. You made my evening. :eek:

The original quote was in Chinese (bad Chinese at that). Rarely does such a perfect opportunity present itself. :)

NOW I see it - you were editing while I was quoting, before you edited what I didn't see until after you had edited it. It showed up on my quote box, but was not visible on the original. First time that has ever happened to me.

Thought had sorcerer powers.

OMG - I have directly contributed to creating a monster. Next we'll have a rule on posting only in English.

Seriously, this diversion/levity has been beneficial in relieving stress, but we are straying from the main point of this thread - to raise awareness and support for Scouser. We have bigger dragons to slay.

The Virginia COurt System website says the court date is set. Do we plan on having a significant open carry event in the vicinity of the courthouse, and do we plan on attending the hearing with empty holsters?

There will be a number of things that will be done both as a show of support, to raise awareness and funds. What these will all be has not been officially set at this time, but be assured that nothing shall be done that will hurt Scouser or his defense - everything will be vented through Mr. Hawes first.

I think that we can expect a call similar to chapter 1 in the Ferry Tale/Surry.

So this seems to suggest that there are now documents in the court's system for this?

The wheels of justice turn slowly and things are not always where they are supposed to be :uhoh:

Please anyone that reviews the publicly available information, do not show Scouser's personal information here. While I have those documents, I have chosen to not post them at this time.

I'm sure Dan Hawes will vent.

He will also vett* any proposals/plans that are put to him for consideration. It would probably be seen as a courtesy if anybody not a member of The Central Committee** with a plan/idea/notion to do anything publically would run it by Dan first. (Anybody remember the response to "Your Honor, there are men with guns in front of the courthouse!"? Takes strategy to pull off something like that.)

stay safe.

* - see definition #3 at http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/vetting

** - "The Central Committee" is a literary invention of mine and mine alone to refer to a bunch of folks who are more active in supporting Scouser and Dan. Neither Dan nor Scouser appointed people to and body for any purpose. I'm not sure that Dan, Scouser, or the other members even like/approve of my using the term.

Yep that too. Was thinking of "vent" as in to relieve pressure, to vent off - was being foot loose and [strike]fancy[/strike] free with meaning.

Central Committee has a certain poetic injustice to it; effective though - simply that we are friends of Scouser. Less formal than friend of the court and do not share the table before the bar, but have a loyalty that rivals those of the round table and the king's musketeers.
