Gotta love this. Bush's neighbor is getting cranky about the protestors....the protestors who have come to support a woman whose son was shot and killed in Iraq. So what does the cranky neighbor do?:
President Bush might have made his peace with the antiwar encampment outside his Texas ranch, but his next-door neighbor has taken up arms.Shooting during the prayer service. That's good, Larry.
The incident occurred Sunday morning as activists gathered for a prayer service in the tent village set up by Cindy Sheehan, whose son Casey was killed in Iraq and who is demanding a meeting with Bush to discuss the war.
On the other side of Prairie Chapel Road, Larry Mattlage hopped into his pickup, barreled across his pasture and pulled up to a fence within a few hundred feet of the protesters. He climbed out of the cab, retrieved a shotgun from the back and fired at least one blast into the air.
Mattlage insisted he was shooting at birds. But he said the activists had worn out their welcome, and he wanted them to go away.
"I done made my case. It's over," he said as he shooed away a reporter from the gated entrance to his ranch.
