As requested I wasted an hour or so of my afternoon today reading up on Shane and is little REI incident. I Cant say i am not biased because I came into this thinking he was an idiot and after reading his blog laden with shameless self promotion of his stupid hipster t-shirts, I still think he is a grade "A" idiot.
Why? I am glad you asked. It is not because he took a picture of the ATM, though I do not feel the need to fuck with people with guns myself, it is how he handled the situation after the fact. One of the first comments i read brought up the very point i intended to make, is that Shane acted with complete disrespect for everyone involved. Because Shane is a cool vegan anarchist (with an iphone none the less, go figure captain hypocrite) he felt the need to mouth off instead of maybe even considering to act like an adult. Really, he must be at least 25, show some damn respect, even if it is to what you consider "fake cops."
In the real world or maybe just in my ideal world, someone may have thought for a second that these guys have a really dangerous job. And despite the fairly innocuous act of taking a picture of them, it is probably a small sign for alarm when you have the potentiol of being robbed and killed everyday on the job. So maybe if Shane had responded to their concerns without being a douche bag (according to his blog I am the godzillion and one person to call him this), he would not have been arrested and in the end I wouldn't have had had to read his stupid blog.
But of course if he didn't act like such a douche bag (godzillion and two) no one would buy his stupid shirts and he would go back to being another lame ass hipster in a sea of lame ass hipsters trying to find some other way to self promote his extreme averageness.
