An Arkansas state senator recently bragged that he will “shoot” and kill people if they do not approach him with the “proper respect” and if they try to ask him “smarty pants questions.” The Arkansas Times blog says that Republican Senator Jason Rapert was tweeting about an incident at a Lowe’s hardware store. He says that recently a constituent named Lance White approached him, but didn’t show the proper “respect” when asking a question about public policy. “Wow! I introduce my self kindly to my state legislator at Lowe’s last night. I then ask him a complicated question regarding government/law, to which I legitimately wanted an answer,” White said about the incident in a Facebook post Sunday morning. The senator then replied, “I don’t answer questions to smarty pants like you.” He screamed at the Lowe’s employee – “hurry up” and load his purchases, so he could avoid further questions. “Later I notice this post on his Twitter account,” White explains. “Didn’t know asking government/law questions to a legislator qualified me for getting shot. #loosecanon” he posted. On Twitter, Rapert had tweeted, “Not smart to come up and harass somebody in a parking lot who’s carrying a handgun. Better be glad you decided to walk away. #armed&ready” Not smart to come up and harass somebody in a parking lot who's carrying a handgun. Better be glad you decided to walk away. #armed&ready — Sen. Jason Rapert (@jasonrapert) September 6, 2015 “I asked Rapert later on Twitter if he meant to imply that harassment would be ground for shooting someone in a parking lot,” Max Brantley from the Times says. Rapert responded saying “by the way, I never said that was me. However, I believe in self defense and urge all my friends to be prepared. #armed&ready” and “I prefer not to waste Sunday morning with your banter. I would like to focus on more peaceful matters. Go to Church Max.” Rapert later completely denied that this tweet had anything to do with White, even though it seems clear to most that it did. “Apparently you confused yourself with an unrelated tweet,” the senator said to White. “You overestimate yourself. You weren’t threatening – just rude.” “Do mere words cross the line into Rapert-will-blow-you-away territory?” Brantley asked. “Safest advice seems to be don’t ask the senator questions on the Lowe’s parking lot.” (Article by Jackson Marciana; h/t Raw Story)

Did the Senator concede to your asking the question? Sounds like he was in a hurry. Showing proper respect includes getting permission to ask a "complicated" question of ANY person.
Is there any ass you won't kiss if it has a badge or some elected office?
Those who can, do, those who can't make claims.
I thought I was pretty clear when I posted, "Showing proper respect includes getting permission to ask a "complicated" question of ANY person." Maybe you didn't see that. Here, I'll post it again, just for you. "Showing proper respect includes getting permission to ask a "complicated" question of ANY person. I don't much care for people who are inconsiderate of others. People who think the world revolves around them. My guess is that his "complicated" question could have waited for a proper forum.
If you voted for him, you sure as hell have every right to question. In fact, if he is your senator, even if you didn't vote for him, you have the right to ask a question. Sounds like he was in a hurry. Really? Why not just politely say that? And since when has any politician been in too big of a hurry to interact with his constituents? Showing proper respect includes getting permission to ask a "complicated" question of ANY person. And the senator's not-so-thinly veiled threat after the fact is showing proper respect for his constituents? This senator is an arrogant, petulant child. I was especially impressed when he called the guy a "smarty pants". In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much Apparently not. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much Wow. Let's make up some headlines, huh? He said it's not a good idea to approach an armed stranger in a parking lot at night and start harassing them, being rude, and peppering them with questions. I don't know the nature of these "questions". Perhaps they were more like angry accusations than questions. If so, I can see how the Senator may feel threatened. Alone. In a parking lot. At night. With some asshole who demands answers. Right now.
Can you bang on his door at 3AM to ask the question? Or will you concede there's a proper time and a proper place for this to occur? Or don't you believe in common courtesy? You f**king pig. "I was especially impressed when he called the guy a "smarty pants". How's that? You don't have a clue as to what the guy even said? How are you able to pass judgement, you ignorant buffoon?
You dumbass. The senator was out in public. Oh wait - I forgot. Our rulers are not to be bothered by the little people unless it is in some scripted setting. How's that? You don't have a clue as to what the guy even said? Yeah, of course - he just made it up. “Wow! I introduce my self kindly to my state legislator at Lowe’s last night. I then ask him a complicated question regarding government/law, to which I legitimately wanted an answer,” White said about the incident in a Facebook post Sunday morning. The senator then replied, “I don’t answer questions to smarty pants like you.” ******* Or don't you believe in common courtesy? Of course I do - since when are elected officials too freaking good to answer a question from a constituent? You f**king pig. Don't you have a cop or a politician to kneel down in front of and blow? In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much I pretty much feel the same way about most politicians regardless of their party. They have generally stopped believing the people are supposed to be in charge and a representative of the people is supposed to "represent" the people. I no longer say I am a Republican. There are far too many RINOs. However, it is a gross act to say you will shoot someone for talking to you even if you think the person is rude. Incidentally, I wonder how this politician feels about gun control. Psalm 37
It says something that he starts tweeting about shooting a voter asking a question rather than to just answer it. Or say "No Comment" or "Call my office" or "Come to my townhall meeting". I bet that if the questioner had made threats to use his gun on the senator if he wouldn't answer his questions, the Georgia troopers would already have the voter in custody and he would never own a gun again.
Well, the press would certainly be more respectful if some politician just pulled out his Desert Eagle at a press conference and blew the guy away. Go Trump!
The politicians have the nation on its knees in subservience. There is no danger that the politician faces any backlash to his actions.
Psalm 37
Showing proper respect includes getting permission to ask a "complicated" question of ANY person. Lmao!! You really are a worms bitch! Every post you make you show the world how subservient you are to the state, and resent those who aren't as light in the loafers as you. You are a case study in worminess.
I thought all the politicians had stopped having town hall meetings?? They don't like being asked hard questions or shown to have been lying through their teeth over just about everything... Doing a search shows that Rapert participated in various townhall meetings in big public venues, more often as part of a group of legislators. He also fiddles around. The singing is better skipped.
“Wow! I introduce my self kindly to my state legislator at Lowe’s last night. I then ask him a complicated question regarding government/law, to which I legitimately wanted an answer,” White said about the incident in a Facebook post Sunday morning.

Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state. They will believe this until it happens to them, or their children, or their friends.
