Angry Blogger Makes Citizen Arrest Or Something

While Jon Corzine is doing better and recovering from his car accident (caused by Don Imus), he might have to dig deep into his pockets sometime soon.

A blogger by the name of GadFly actually left his house and issued a citizen seat-belt complaint against the governor.

Wait, you can do this? Can I go cite Ed Rendell for saying he drives around 80? Anyway, the ticket for driving (or riding in the passenger seat) without a seatbelt is $46, which should be pretty tough for the multimillionaire governor to pay.

On his blog, Gadfly — aka Larry Angel — discussed the citizen complaint. To note, his blog contains the following phrases: “THE CORRUTP [sic] MULLICA 5 AKA IDIOTS R US,” “glen THE AUTO INSURANCE FRAUD KING forman,” “jimmy THE ETHICALLY CHALLENGED curcio,” “steve THE SCOFFLAW waszen.” I don’t know who these people are, but it seems they’re all pretty evil.

His post about the seatbelt complain:

The statue of Justice is blindfolded as a symbol that laws are enforced impartially…that Lady Justice does not peek, to see how thick one’s wallet is or the color of one’s skin. Given the minor nature of the fine for not wearing a seat belt the State Police do a disservice to us all in not citing the Governor…as such inaction allows the perception of special treatment. It is further noted that the following day a seat belt ticket was signed by larry THE MISANTHROPIC PEDANTIC S.O.B. angel with the cooperation of Galloway officials.

Hm. Good… good to know.
