https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/establish-new-legal-system-motorcycle-riding-judges-who-serve-police-judge-jury-and-executioner-all/QS9sBWBc

we petition the obama administration to:
Establish new legal system of motorcycle riding "Judges" who serve as police, judge, jury, and executioner all in one.

This is a petition to dissolve the current legal system and replace it with a single Hall of Justice, run by Judges; motorcycle-riding law officers who act as police, judge, jury, and executioner.
Created: Nov 13, 2012

That doesn't sound very well thought out. So...essentially one single individual would be the law then?

Great idea, very stable just and fair. Or not...

Why didn't you just post it in the thread about this though

Oops. Link please?

Ryan, did you catch the reference?

Maybe I missed a reference :(

If it doesn't work on Dakka, what makes you think ...

I think my fellow Dakkanauts from the US military can appreciate this one.

Maybe this should just be the silly petitions thread.

I mean, including it with the other one about secession would
seem to imply that the secession petitions are silly.

Looks bad, most armed forces don't allow it.

Though I'm there are also more military reasons behind as well.

Oh... so ya'll can't nonchalantly be at rest with your hands in your pockets? That sucks...

Has a look of unprofessionalism

Not really, mostly it's just dumb.

This comic sums it up nicely (spoiler'd for language)

That is epicly awesome... if that person is a serving member of the armed forces, they need a Service Cross or something

Like it's that hard to hook your thumbs around your belt or something. If your hands have so much free time they can just hang around in your pockets, they could be filling sandbags!

Oh my gosh, I can't believe i signed that. That made me laugh XD

Mwahahahaha!

Speaking as an accountant, it's good to see other people suffer under the rule of crazy people that like making stupid rules that achieve nothing.

He is the law.

"...and they sheathe our knife hands gloriously..."

Hah, knife hands. Havent heard that in years. Nice find.

edit: Ive managed to fall asleep with my hands in my pockets on occasion. Must be all that repressed anger.

Spoiler:

Chesty Puller most definitely would care; if only because it is exceedingly difficult to simultaneously immolate and bayonet a man if you've got your hands in your pockets.

Not if you're Chesty Puller. That's done with the eyes (immolation) and maybe his right foot. Speaking as a Warrant Officer, can we get petition going to do away with saluting. I hate getting the elisted train of salutes every time I go into the PX. I swear a platoon hangs out in the doorway and as soon as they see bars or leaves or birds they come swarming out at 5 meter intervals and ALL head straight for you. Especially if you have your hands full.


I kid of course.

Scruffy...I've done that with couple my squads....besides your only saved on the flight line but the PX is reserve for NCO games.....we did it to Gen Rodriguez twice at Bagram but he beat us back...he kept the salute up and walked by our line...muttering "you arseholes" in a good natured way. When he did pop over to my side of the airfied to keep tab on the surge equipment coming in and that we were pushing out a CASH equipment and vehicles and we were breaking some serious rules to get the convoy formed my commnader plan out informed him to watch and learn. We had to serious number crunching. I used him to to get a priority cargo lift for two surgical equipment sterilizer flown to their destination and not have them all on th convoy. The bastage remembered me when I was runnning the Rotary Wing Pax Terminal to in '08. This time around though I got my guys four AAAM's impact award (I've 14 AAM's so none for me but a group shot)

You shouldn't complain too much about being saluted as a warrant - at least those are salutes that generally convey respect instead of disdain.

Or fear, my buddy still tells stories about a Combat Engineer CWO5 who had his entire unit terrified. The guy was very... generous, with his use of high explosives. "That looks about right" usually meant a building was about to go down.

Thinking about it, I suppose fear is a kind of respect.
