At one location, for example, agents and police arrested patrons of a hotel bar. Some of the suspects said they were registered at the hotel and had no intention of driving. Arresting authorities said the patrons were a danger to themselves and others.

They (US authorities) sound like raving lunatics, and act like bullying idiots. What's new?

So... A bar is not the proper place to be drunk?

hmm, that is interesting. Trying to arrest all of the drunk people in Texas, now that's really taking on something there. Gonna need more jails, or at least more room in the ones we have. I know, we can let out all of the murderers, rapists and pedophiles and lock up the drunks. That'll do it. Then it will truly be a perfect world....
