From the Pioneer Press: A group of Adopt a Highway volunteers were packing more than trash along the shoulder of Minnesota 55 in Mendota Heights on Sunday morning.
With legal guns on their hips, a dozen area residents spent nearly three hours picking up litter — everything from cigarette butts to blown-out tires — along a 2-mile stretch of the highway just east of the Mendota Bridge. It was the inaugural event for the group, which registered with the Minnesota Department of Transportation’s Adopt a Highway program under the name Minnesota Carry Permit Holders.

What does prejudice have to do with it?

“With extreme prejudice” is a movie phrase meaning “shoot him with a gun.”

If it’s not a Gerard Butler movie, I don’t care.

For the record, I had no idea until two minutes ago that Gerard Butler is Scottish.

That was an odd story. I guess I get it – it’s interesting that a group of people who’s common interest is having a permit to carry a gun signed up to clean up trash. But to share the story of the state that tried to ban the KKK from cleaning up trash in the same piece?
It could have been presented as just an odd bit. Why would anyone have a problem with it? It’s legal, and they’re cleaning up the trash that I toss out my window. I think it’s great.
