Morons of the week…

Buffalo Rick — one pissy dude

March has certainly come in like a lion for “Buffalo” Rick Galeener. It’s been a rip-roarin’ month so far for the professional singing cowboy-turned-co-founder of Riders United for a Sovereign America, or Riders USA, a Phoenix-based immigrant-bashing motorcycle gang.

…

Galeener was cited by a Phoenix police officer for exposing his penis to a Hispanic woman and her 2-year-old son outside the Macehualli center.

As first reported in the Phoenix New Times, Galeener allegedly exposed himself to Paulita Cortes, a Phoenix resident who has lived near the work center for nine years. Cortes said that Galeener in the past has called her a wetback and told her to go back to Mexico.

After Cortes complained to police, Galeener was cited for indecent exposure, a class 1 misdemeanor, which carries a potential fine of $2,500 and is punishable by up to six months in jail. Galeener told the investigating officer that he was merely urinating in a plastic bottle.

“Ironically,” noted Phoenix New Times blogger Stephen Lemons, “there’s a McDonald’s about a block up the road….[but] he may not have wanted to use the McDonald’s, as it’s owned by … a vocal opponent of the protestersThe Mex Files › Create New Post — WordPress and a supporter of the work center.”

Jesus’ General has more on “Buffalo” Rick’s Easter Weekend Ride. Believe it or not, Buffalo Rick has a website (or, rather, a Cafe Press sales site) listed as “Buffalo Rick’s Pissed Off!”

Bad English, Ah-yup!:

What is that language these guys are speaking there in Rhode Island?

By the way, the customers mentioned in the report are U.S. citizens… but you wouldn’t expect Fox News to report a minor detail like that?

Calling Buffalo Rick

There’s a big ditch in the Arizona desert that’ll need fillin’:

There have been virtual fences, real fences, increased patrols and night-vision cameras. Now the latest initiative by the US to seal its increasingly porous border with Mexico harks back to one of the oldest approaches: dig a moat. City officials in Yuma, in south-western Arizona, have come up with a scheme to create a “security channel” along the nearby border by reviving a derelict two-mile stretch of the Colorado river.

“The moats that I’ve seen circled the castle and allowed you to protect yourself, and that’s kind of what we’re looking at here,” Yuma county sheriff Ralph Ogden told the Associated Press. The scheme would see engineers dig out a two-mile stretch of a 180-hectare (440-acre) wetland known as Hunters Hole.
