As for fishermen and government regulators, I remember well the Battle of Gig Harbor, WA when the fishermen protested the Judge Boldt decision giving half or more of the salmon harvest to the Indians on the Reservations to catch due to some old treaty. For some reason the Feds felt like keeping their word on this one.
In any event, the fishermen stole a signal cannon from a Gig Harbor museum. It might have belonged to Capt. Vancouver himself.
The fishermen found that the barrel of the signal cannon was the exact diameter as a soup can. The men filled a few soup cans with cement and then collected black powder for the explosive charge.
One fine day they sailed out on their fishing boat with the signal cannon, ammo, and powder aboard.
They put out their nets. The Coast Guard showed up and demanded that the fishermen stop fishing.
The rebels loaded their antique signal cannon and sent off a round of cement filled soup can in the general direction of the Coast Guard boat.
The Coasties then fired a burst from their 50 caliber machine gun in front of the bow of the fishing boat.
Thus ended the Gig Harbor Salmon War. The signal cannon went back to the museum.
Ah, Lagniappe. Sounds like the case of crabs my girlfriend gave me as a bonus gift.
I watched "The Fall of Minneapolis" this week. I recommend the documentary to everyone. I was born in Minneapolis and my parents grew up there. I know Lake Street where the rioting occurred. The bureaucrats and politicians contrived to keep the truth of George Floyd's death from the public. They did this for political reasons.
