Mark Bell of Adchoppers Declares War on Critical Mass!!!   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #216 of 269 |
Hiya fellow Bicyclists!

I received a call today from a detective at the HPD. He called my house and
asked for Karl... He actually asked for Karl Friedrich Hieronymus Baron von
Münchhausen! (No idea how he got my phone #, I guess they Have Ways of
Making Your IP Talk...)

Anyway, my wife called me at work and gave me the number, and I called right
away to find out what was up (Karl gets lots of email but he has never
before gotten a phone call). He asked if I knew who Mark Bell was... In
honesty I had to tell him that the name rang a 'bell' but I had no idea who
that was... He (the detective) said that Mr. Bell had referred me as someone
who might have information about the recent spate of vandalism involving his
(Bell's) bicycles currently being displayed in ugly prominance on bike racks
around town...

So, the facts for your perusal:

1) Apparently someone(s) has been vandalizing the locks and the bikes
belonging to Bell.

2) Apparently Bell notified the police that he suspects that the vandals are
somehow associated with this list, or critical mass, in some unknown way
(probably as a result of the recent post from Duane)

3) The cops are looking here for suspects at the behest of Mr. Bell. The one
I talked to said he had already talked to Duane Browning and was trying to
contact other members of this list.

Just FYI they said they have some possible surveilance video of one of the
sites where vandalism occurred. (This should serve as an excellent reminder:
If you are going to vandalize something, make sure you are unrecognizable,
just in case you happen to be caught on a surveillance tape.)

I told the cop that it was just as likely to have been an old lady from the
Outdoor Circle that wracked the bikes as it was a Mass Person...

Honestly, I THOUGHT about it right after Duane's post, but I went and
checked out a few of the bikes in town, and they were so shitty looking,
rusty, and beat up, that i figured that vandalism would be redundant... they
are well on their way to rusting into the ground... None of them had
advertising, and none of them looked like something anybody would advertise
on.

Anyway, if any of you can think of a way we can LEGALLY counter Mark Bell
and his Evil, Stupid Plan to Advertise with Bicycles please share it with
the group. Perhaps chaining 'junk' rustbucket bikes to the bike racks where
his bikes are displayed? (I have several around the house). Perhaps these
bikes could have 'anti-adchoppers' propaganda signs like the signs he is
using? Perhaps they could display his home phone number for Adchopper
Ugliness Complaints?

When someone siccs the cops on me, I feel like it is time to Get Involved...
The cops have been sicced on YOU, Too! Get Involved!!!

He Has Declared War on US!!! What the Fuck Are WE Gonna Do?

Any thoughts and\or evil energy would be greatly appreciated.

PS: If you are the vandal: You Are My New Hero!!!!

a pig can walk in the mountains
a pig can walk in the sea
a pig can walk anywhere he wants
BUT NO PIG WALKS ON ME

-The Matt That The Police Call When They Want To Know What Is Up With All
The Vandalism!!!
