The article has another link, I can only read a little, but it’s funny,

Protesting Flock, Arizona Man Presents Plan to Surveil Government Official

“I’ve spent the last several months talking to people all over Casa Grande, and one thing keeps coming up: Safety. So, today I’m excited to announce a new company called Shepherd Safety,” he said. “Our mission is simple.

Oh! There’s a clip! Guess sth blocked an autoload. Didn’t even spot that until your post so ty.

This guy’s Darth Vader impression is kinda good. It wouldn’t have worked with a high pitched voice.

“Thank you! Roger Ralphs? Is Roger Ralphs present?”

Your link doesn’t have it, but if you (royal) are sharing links, delete everything after the ?

I feel like Lord Vader has… other ways… to get in touch.

I want body cameras and body microphones on all the billionaires.
