TABC now tells us fuck your individual rights!


Holy Fuck - The TABC are officially Fascists!!! Do I smell a lawsuit in the making here? I can't believe I am reading this but here in this Dallas TV station report they arrested HOTEL GUESTS IN THE HOTEL'S BAR!

The kicker is this line of the report:
TABC officials said the sweep concerned saving lives, not individual rights.
I say thank god for lawyers. Bring on the motherfucking lawsuits that our tax dollars will have to pay to bring about the resignations of these puritan assholes!

As the New Town Drunks commented in my myspace blog mirror...Getting Drunk is now a political statement!

Full story can be found here: http://www.nbc5i.com/news/8169246/detail.html

Addendum:

Note that

"Texas law states that anyone who is drunk in public and poses a danger to themselves or others can be arrested regardless of whether they were inside a restaurant or bar, or on a city street....the key to the law lies in the potential danger..it is not illegal to be intoxicated in public. The gray area comes in determining the degree of risk,"

That's f'd up. So is the TABC elected or appointed?

I know that Chairman John T Steen Jr. (pictured) was appointed the Governor. I don't know about the others on the board much less the rest of the TABC.
