Stupid Protestor Tricks
An anti-war idiot chained himself to the wrong building in Olympia, Washington.
Mason padlocked one end of the chain around his neck and the other to a door, which opens to a bottom-floor office. He told onlookers he was protesting Bush's foreign and domestic policies. He had affixed a sign to the building reading, "Reduce Deficit."
Grange employees explained that he was at the wrong building. The Grange is a nonprofit, nonpartisan group that advocates for residents in rural areas.
"I don't think that's ever happened before," said Larry Clark, Grange communications director.
No, it's probably a unique event. They cut him off with bolt cutters. There was no arrest, but then, I guess it's not clear what law he broke. It would have been entertaining to leave him there a couple days and allow the crowd to pelt him with decaying vegetable matter, though.

Maybe we should get this guy together with the Australian chick who is a human shill. They would be perfect together, proud, whining, and committed to both world peace and standardization of coffee bean prices.
