The Shire Choir has been performing this song to the tune of Three Dog Night’s “Joy to the World” at city councilors’ homes. Some like it, one threatened us with arrest. Courtesy ThanksbutnoTanks.com:
City council wants a BEARCAT.
Uncle gives ‘em out for free.
They’re telling us that it’s to catch the terrorists,
But they’ve set their sights on you and me.
They’ll be using it on you and me.
That’s why we’re singing:
CHORUS:
Thanks–but no tanks.
Thanks–but no tanks.
Thank you for nothing city bureaucrats.
Thanks… but no bearcat!
Cops can do whatever they please–
They’re backed by City Hall.
They take laws, break them, or just make them up
Like there isn’t any law at all
It’s like there isn’t any law at all
CHORUS:
Thanks–but no tanks.
Thanks–but no tanks.
Thank you for nothing, city bureaucrats.
Thanks… but no bearcats!
You rule by [force], and not by law,
Like Orwell’s 1984.
Getting an attack truck, makes that clear–
It’s time to say “No more!”
We won’t take, or give any more!
CHORUS:
Thanks–but no tanks.
Thanks–but no tanks.
Thank you for nothing, city bureaucrats.
Thanks… but no bearcats!
CHORUS:
Thanks–but no tanks.
Thanks–but no tanks.
Thank you for nothing, every bureaucrat.
Thanks… but no bearcats!
Oh boy! More evidence that marijuana is of no harm! Gee im sorry, I actually have no proof that Ryan smokes pot, well except for this video. Okay #1. Ryan was not pleased with the airline carrier so he takes it out by not wanting to pay the parking lot. Ofcourse the airlines do not own the parking lot so the logic here is just oozing out like that white foamy shit on the corners of david's mouth. #2. He attempted robbery by trying to leave the parking lot and not paying the fee we all agree to pay if… Read more »
Oh my fucking god. He is claiming his rights were violated? He never 'verbally consented' to the fee? Listen to him spit out the same stupid BULLSHIT over & over. You have GOT to be fucking kidding, right?
Did I over sleep? Is it April Fool's?
This has gone from the rediculious (to quote adam mueller) to, well, to the even more ridiculous.
U MAD?
So… will ryan be going to jail FOR HIS OWN STUPIDITY? You bet your bony ass, derrick.
You're right, chaised. What was I thinking? I should have said:
SO BRAVE!
A TRUE HERO.
Is Ryan like, on the verge of crying every time I see him or is he just that melancholy about life!! A damn shame someon that young being that depressed.
YEA U MAD.
YEA U MORON.
I love the categories this is filed under "corruption, economic freedom, jailed activist, thuggery". Keene, Manchester, Police & New Hampshire I get, but show me the SLIGHTEST BIT of corruption. And how did ryan's stupid attempt to evade parking fees have ANYTHING to do with economic freedom? Whining about parking fees and lack of service (from a parking lot?) constitutes 'activism'? And someone attempting to stop you from theft of services is guilty of thuggery? Go ahead chaised, mainedork, genius, david, lil justy, let's hear some well reasoned defense of poor ryan, the jailed activist, victim of state corruption and… Read more »

INTERNET: SERIOUS BUSINESS
SO BRAVE, chaised, SO BRAVE.
CHAISED : SERIOUS MORON.
ryan, take the huge outpouring of support on this blog as a little hint. These people aren't your friends. They are using you. Don't make things worse for yourself.
Take The Plea.
I support theft by taxation if it will pay for this idiot's lobotomy. Damn…..Right when I think these fools can't possibly get anymore stupid, along comes this sad song by Ryan Maddox. LMFAO.
"I would have paid the fee if that's what it came down to". Ryan, my dear sweet, naive honeysuckle – you've been playing darts too long at the Keene Activist Center aka Ian's house. When she told you $4.00….that WAS the fee…DER. I'm beginning to wonder if the ejaculate of Chase, Justin, david and Chaz Munro has stated to spawn inside him.
So I guess I'm supposed to believe that Ryan smokes pot, while embarrassingly pathetic blog trolls are all sober. Hahaha.
matt, "ejaculate"?
don't you mean "breakfast"?
No skeptikos, youre supposed to believe Ryan is a well adjusted down to earth young man with a clear head……
As made obvious by this video.
Chase, what you eat for breakfast is your own business.
Poor Ryan. Brave kid. ok
Ryan,
yea, .. that is a major problem … no communication and a quick resort to the cops/state violence…thats why I'm against the bearcat……
-Good evening sir, that will be 4 $ please. – I really didnt care for the punctuality of the airplaine, I dont think I want to pay the 4$. – Im sorry about your late flight sir, we are the parking lot. We are an independent entity from the airline carrier. Four dollars please. – Can I speak to your supervisor? – Hi, I am the supervisor may I help you? – Yes, late plane, bad service, me not pay 4 dollar for park please? – Sorry sir but did you not read the sign at the entrance of our… Read more »
I never made any agreement with anyone to pay any fee. Nor did I choose the flight to delayed twice, the second time for no apparent reason, nor are the options provided to consumers preferable. If I were aware of other alternatives, I may have made different choices given the conditions. Because I was ignorant of other alternatives, does not mean I deserve any of this. I did not deserve to be threatened and manipulated by Mr. Padellero of the MPD over telephone, nor did I deserve to be abducted by force and held against my will by Benjamin Nugent… Read more »
david on Wed, 8th Feb 2012 12:26 pm Ryan, yea, .. that is a major problem … no communication and a quick resort to the cops/state violence…thats why I’m against the bearcat…… ryan, that is the total amount of support you have received here in the last say or so. Think about it. These people are not your friends, they are using you. A friend would defend you. But who has come to your aid? Nobody. Except david. And that can hardly even be called lackluster, at best. They will use you, your conviction ( you will be convicted) and… Read more »
Whoops! Looks like I was writing my last post while you were posting yours. I just read yours, so, you can disregard mine.
Like Lou Reed says, "Stick a fork in his ass and turn him over. He's done."
Hope for your sake the prosecutor doesn't bring a copy of that to court.
Hey Ryan, You contracted the moment you accepted the parking slip. The good service they provided was that you found a spot a short distance from the terminal, and when you returned, your car was exactly where you left it, safe and sound.
Wipe the snot off your nose, and get a fucking grip. The system owns you now. Enjoy your civil bondage.
Those parking garage employees probably make minimum wage…and you expect them to not only take shit from people like you all day, but also to be able to explain that they are not part of any one specific airline that you're pissed off at? LOL. What kind of grown man DOESN'T know this already? There is no customer service with a parking lot Ryan. You pay to park. Period. What did you want them to do…bake you an apple pie? Ask if your car enjoyed it's stay? Check your oil and tire pressure? Even some of the dumbest sons of… Read more »
Why is this the one fucking time these morons didn't have a camera.
