If you are a self-described fan of RATM and, in the year 2025, have not figured out that they were deeply hostile to US government policy in general and law enforcement in particular, the odds of you ever figuring anything out approaches zero

As they age, it will appear to fade, but do not be fooled. It will always be there, roiling ... seething beneath the surface. jimmi pickles will plot, waiting for an opportunity to arise. jimmi pickles will wait. jimmi pickles will watch. jimmi pickles will be patient.
