He's a, "won't eat his broccoli" maverick.
A, "driving with his window open, elbow out the window like he's cool" maverick.
A, "knows of people that didn't go to Sunday school." maverick.
A "Didn't wash behind his ears.","Doesn't listen to your opinion",
"Eats desert first" maverick. He. Is. A maverick - He's a friends with people who are in trouble with the law kind of maverick. Not all who find themselves in trouble with the law are "bad", but these are the liars and thieves that would rather beat you up first kind of law-breakers. I've hung out with some people who might call themselves mavericks, but the mavericks I admire the most?are the ones that peacefully gather outside of events in order to spread awareness of ill thought-out policies and unfair treatment, only to be forcibly corralled, beaten up, and arrested for "conspiracy to riot". I admire them because they have to go to court to defend themselves against false arrest (quite possibly at their own expense), and then they get out there and do it all over again.
I'm not that brave.
Where was the maverick when these good people were being beaten up and arrested? Sure, he was busy at that moment, just a few blocks away, but where was he the next day?This happened on your watch. I can just hear someone's mom, now: "Well, gosh darn it, those protesters shouldn't have been out so late, doncha know. A person that stays out that late is just askin' for all kinds of trouble." |
