That's It! It Is Time For Immigration Restrictions From California!

The May 12, 2011 Idaho Statesman reports on a man arrested walking down the street naked in the North End (the rich hippie neighborhood of Boise):

The man, 20-year-old Jonathan Palmer, was charged with a misdemeanor for violating a city ordinance that bars public nudity, said Lt. Kent Lipple with Boise police.

The problem is that you can't easily distinguish some forms of antisocial eccentricity from California political movements.

  2. That strikes me as a sort of self-correcting problem. I can't imagine the climate of Boise, even in May, is terrifically conducive to strolling about in the all together.

  5. Of course in California you never know if it isn't in fact antisocial mental illness masquerading as a political position. I'm thinking of the Berkeley "Naked Guy" from about 29 years ago who ended up homeless and mentally ill, and sadly, ultimately committing suicide in 2003, iirc.
