Concerning Border Patrol
Peace. Border Patrol: Are you a citizen, Sir?
RSA extends a Stone Cold-level ice grill towards him.
He repeats himself. "Are you a U.S. citizen, Sir?"
RSA continues to stare in Stone Cold.
"Are you okay, Sir?" He repeats himself three times. Getting nothing b.u.t. a stare from me, he checks three other people.
Then, he returns back to me. "Do you speak English? Are you being rude? This is my job. What are you trying to accomplish here?" He asks.
RSA (irritated): Not follow evil orders! It is the 12th. Dr. King's birthday is in 3 days.
The Boarder Patrol officer sucks his teeth and moves on.
I am sitting next to a young "Hispanic"-looking man. I turn to him.
RSA: Do you see what I did right there?
Younger Hispanic Man: Yes Sir.
RSA: Over the next four years do not bow down! He was shook, not me!
