A Load of Crap

According to a story on FindLaw, an Arkansas farmer spread 3 tons of manure in front of the home of a gay couple and along two city streets (the route of a gay pride parade). According to the farmer, Wesley Bono, he’s not guilty of any crime, as he was just exercising his Constitutional rights.

"Under the First Amendment, a man is allowed to protest. That’s what I was doing," Bono told KATV. "I didn’t do it as a hate crime, or any crime at all."

Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase, "A load of crap."
