When Rev. Aamon R. Miller (of “Who’s Your Daddy” fame) saw a “senior citizen” practicing with his nunchucks in the parking lot of a Richmond, Va., Food Lion, he did what anyone in his position would do: He filmed and narrated the action.
“This, folks, right HERE is Richmond VA at it’s finest! Jesus be a radioactive fence all around me right now and forever!” reads the video’s YouTube description.
“One man. One Lord. One Faith. One Baptism. Two nunchucks.”
Walmart shoppers in Stafford County saw the sight of their lives Tuesday night—a cow, on all fours, trying to score gallons of milk.
An 18-year-old man dressed up in a cow suit stole 26 gallons of milk around 10:35 p.m. from the Garrisonville Walmart, Stafford County Sheriff’s spokesman Bill Kennedy said.
The man was apparently crawling while he exited the store, trying to emulate cattle, Kennedy said.
Soon afterward, witnesses told Stafford sheriff’s deputies that the man was handing out the pilfered milk jugs to passersby outside of the Walmart, Kennedy said.
It was unclear Wednesday how he managed to get all of that milk out of the busy store on Garrisonville Road.
Kennedy said that store employees saw the thief “skipping down the sidewalk” in the cow suit before leaving the immediate area.
Stafford County sheriffs said they went to a nearby McDonald’s restaurant for a disturbance call, and the responding officer saw a man — not in a cow suit — there that seemed to match the culprit.
The suspect was taken back to the Walmart, and management confirmed he was the thief of the pasteurized potion.
The cow suit was found in the man’s car, Kennedy said.
Kennedy did not identify the suspect, who was released on a summons to appear in court.
Kennedy admitted the theft was bizarre.
“This is probably one of the most unique efforts of shoplifting I’ve seen,” Kennedy said. “It might’ve been a prank that went wrong, but it isn’t as funny when [the suspect] breaks the law.”
Kennedy said the sheriff’s office didn’t have surveillance video of the theft, but said it would have been interesting to see.
My family and I had the pleasure of visiting Colonial Williamsburg this past July 4th where we witnessed a live reading of the Declaration of Independence. The visit was truly inspirational. We were surrounded by many patriotic Americans who also believe in American Exceptionalism and in the principles our Founding Fathers.
The original Tea Party may have been in Boston, but some modern-day “tea party” activists are finding a powerful narrative this summer at a different historic landmark: Colonial Williamsburg.
Amid the history buffs and parents with young children wandering along the crushed shell paths of Virginia’s restored colonial city, some noticeably angrier and more politically minded tourists can often be found.
They stand in the crowd listening closely as the costumed actors relive dramatic moments in the founding of our country. They clap loudly when an actor portraying Patrick Henry delivers his “Give me liberty or give me death” speech. They cheer and hoot when Gen. George Washington surveys the troops behind the original 18th-century courthouse. And they shout out about the tyranny of our current government during scenes depicting the nation’s struggle for freedom from Britain.
“General, when is it appropriate to resort to arms to fight for our liberty?” asked a tourist on a recent weekday during “A Conversation with George Washington,” a hugely popular dialogue between actor and audience in the shaded backyard of Charlton’s Coffeehouse.
Standing on a simple wooden stage before a crowd of about 100, the man portraying Washington replied: “Only when all peaceful remedies have been exhausted. Or if we are forced to do so in our own self-defense.”
The tourist, a self-described conservative activist named Ismael Nieves from Elmer, N.J., nodded thoughtfully. Afterward, he said this was his fifth visit to Colonial Williamsburg.
“We live in a very dangerous time,” Nieves said. “People are looking for leadership, looking for what to do. They’re looking to Washington, Jefferson, Madison.”
“I want to get to know our Founding Fathers,” he added. “I think we’ve forgotten them. It’s like we’ve almost erased them from history.”
It’s a common point of view among tea party activists. They say their unhappiness with Washington reflects how far the federal government has strayed, through taxation and regulation, from the Founders’ intentions.
