"Why did you get tarred and feathered?"

"Defended MLK against the Klan."

"Fair enough."

Ypsilanti Mich, Mr Brownlee was abducted at gunpoint and held for 2 hours. Nevertheless he maintained his stance, and was fired. He served in a neighboring school until retirement and died in 2004, a hero.

Am I missing something or did the feather guy really slack off? I'm just seeing the tar.
