Lubbock, Texas, is 250 miles from nowhere. It’s at the crossroads of Hell and Hole Streets.
Being out there all isolated does strange things to people. Remember this guy?
Lubbock Judge Tom Head told local news station Fox 34 that, if President Obama were to be re-elected, “civil unrest, civil disobedience, civil war maybe” would likely follow.
“And we’re not just talking a few riots here and demonstrations, we’re talking Lexington, Concord, take up arms and get rid of the guy,” Head said.
“Now what’s going to happen if we do that, if the public decides to do that? He’s going to send in U.N. troops. I don’t want ‘em in Lubbock County. OK. So I’m going to stand in front of their armored personnel carrier and say ‘you’re not coming in here,’” he said.
Well, it looks like he’s getting a leg up on getting this started.
In Texas, County Judges like Judge Head aren’t real judges. Hell, the one we have in my county has a legitimate high school diploma but no actual degree beyond that. For the most part, County Judges in Texas are the town drunk or, as in the case of Lubbock, the most ignorant redneck you can find. I think a law was passed in 1999 that holds the same standard for Governor.
But I’ll say one thing for county judges – they sure know how to deface a sign.
