This guy is gonna get himself shot by angry residents. I've never been to a county meeting before in my life, but I can't imagine just telling people to fuck off when they come to voice their opposition to issues in their town/city.

Aw, shooting him is too easy. There's lots more to do before that.

Does he own a business on main street? Be a shame if his big plate glass window got broke. Then got broke again. And again...

His tires keep getting leaks, because nails keep showing up in his driveway. His car keeps getting keyed. Somebody turned the hose on at his house, and it ran for three days, flooding his backyard, and running his bill up a couple of hundred dollars. Somebody poured gasoline on his lawn spelling "FLOCK?" Rumors have been spreading about extramarital affairs, his AND his wife's. Online reviews for his business have cratered.

Maybe he'll feel like talking at the next county meeting.

If not, maybe things start to burn.

I can imagine other politicians shaking in fear and rethinking their despotic policies because their counterpart met a miserable end of somebody keying their car. Well, I say "somebody", but they exactly know who, because of the flock cameras. But even if they catch this one, there will be MILLIONS behind them, with their keys ready to make their foes suffer through mild to severe annoyance.

I guess they will retailate with something DUMB and ineffective like killing us all in the concentration camps. Amateurs.

ironically all of these things would be used as justification for more surveillance

As long as there has been local government.
