Further thoughts on “Cliff,” the now semi-famous Knoxville red-light-shooter

He reminds me of the ignored kid in high school who suddenly gets the spotlight shone upon him and ends up trying too hard to stay “cool.”
He compares our society to the Soviet Union and says that he, the martyr for the cause, is being defamed by allegations of mental illness. He even goes so far as to post a note from a UT Psychiatrist stating “he doesn’t pose a threat to himself or others.” I’m sure that’s true, but there seems to be a lot of weird things going on in “The Cliff’s” mind. Delusions of grandeur for one.
Cliff, to play the martyr you need humility and a willingness to sacrifice for a cause you believe in. I know you feel strongly about the immorality of red-light cameras- something I’m inclined to agree with you about. Thank you for bringing this issue to the forefront of the public discussion and getting the dialog going. But your current hijinks are discrediting any argument for removing the cameras.
(Regarding the “humility” issue, I’ve already noted that on his website, Mr. Clark compares his epic struggle against red light cameras to the struggles of Rosa Parks…)
