Marshall Ledbetter
Marshall Ledbetter, Jr. (June 10, 1969 – July 14, 2003) was an American photographer, psychedelics enthusiast, iconoclast[citation needed] and unconventional protester.
Protest In the early morning of June 14, 1991, Ledbetter, then a student at Florida State University, broke into the Florida State Capitol building and phoned a number of odd demands from the office of Wayne Todd, the Sergeant At Arms of the Florida Senate. This triggered a police standoff (the police were not sure whether Ledbetter was armed or if he might have a hostage) that eventually ended peacefully. One telling of the events puts it this way: One night in 1991, Ledbetter broke a window and walked unopposed into the state capitol building in Tallahassee, Fl… Continue Reading (4 minute read)
He asked the cops to get food *for themselves*? I mean, number aside, that’s a solid bro move.
No naked pictures of Bea Arthur?!
I don’t know how you gonna ask for a Gumby’s pizza and not get them Pokey Stix.
They should have given him the weed.
Then they could have coaxed him out with the food.
The standoff would have ended a LOT sooner, without incident.
I know his daughter and on graduation she bought his favorite pizza listed here and posed with it in her cap and gown :’)
NGL a conference call with Cube, Leary, and Lemmy would have been trippy af.
Lemmy was/is a god!
“My demands must be met!”
“No.”
“Oh, okay then.”
He was part of the “Monarchy Party” at FSU which has one of my [favorite Wikipedia entries](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchy_Party) of all time. Some favorites include:
>[Marshall Ledbetter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshall_Ledbetter), a fringe member of the Monarchy Party, took over the [Florida State Capitol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_State_Capitol) with nothing more than an empty bottle of grain alcohol and his wit.
and their slogans like:
>”Competence is the crutch of the unqualified”
>
>”Vote once for the king, and you’ll never have to vote again”
>
>”99% the power and 1/10 the responsibility”
>
>”Tacete et Parete” (“Shut Up and Obey”)
>
>”There is no confidence like the divine right”
Cannot recommend it enough.
When people do things like this and the cops send in food for hostages etc, who pays?
Standard Elton John rider.
He just wanted to see Lemmy. I get it.
