God Speed You Black Emperor Surrounded By FBI and Arrested

Post by I AM ME »

I just read about how our very own, GSYBE were arrested while touring america in a van. If any of you recal that's Mike Turner Favorite band. A gas attendant saw the canadian plates on a tour van and called the police, the fbi, and police surrounded the van and arrested the band. Turns out they wern't doing ANYTHING. They said they just thank god there all white

The gas station attendent thought it was suspicious when a few van packed with gear, GYBE!, and their crew pulled up to their gas station.

So one moronic gas station attendant means the country is "fucked"?? In that case every country is "fucked". Police are called out hourly on false alarms EVERYWHERE. Stop trying to make a point about something as harmless as this.

Will you post a link that says they were "arrested". I'm sure they weren't arrested unless they had drugs or something. They were probably stopped, questioned, and released when it was discovered that there was nothing wrong. You're all really startiing to reach for stories. Its REALLY sad!

sorry i admit i heard it wrong, they were "detained" not arrested. I never meant this to have anything to do with my vengence against the republican party though, i just thought people woudl be interested because there's a few GS!BE fans here, and there's also a OLP connection. I just posted it in here because it had to do with your patriot act (i think it was called that)

It has nothing to do with the Patriot Act. It just another bunch of hippies trying to make something out of nothing. Oh my God! Someone called the cops on me! I'm being repressed! I'm being repressed!

Oh no, I am not a republican and am against people being pulled over for having long hair and a guitar in my van, I must be a hippie!

Yeah, how rational does that sound?
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

9 of them travel around in a van. They are hippies. I don't care what kind of crappy music they play.

I never said it was an offense.... well.. their smell is a bit offensive.

They may be the least likely to break into violence but they are also the least likely to get a damn job.
