Ricky Maine: "See that is the kind of self serving shit I'm talking about. This war on drugs is nothing but the Government serving corporate interests."

Ricky Maine opens the scene in front of a medium sized TV set watching a report on Florida's war against drugs. Maine looks at his friend Kaiser as if to ask for his opinion..

Kaiser: "It's all about money man you know that I know that. Those cartels though man, they're fucking ruthless."

Ricky Maine: "Yeah no doubt, they're products of their material conditions. But these cartels have nothing on the real criminals. These crazy mother fucking Latinos pay more tax then the real criminals."

Kaiser: "Who are you talking about?"

asks Kaiser as a new commercial comes on the TV, Maine points to the set and laughs.

Ricky Maine: "These fucking drug companies comrade. Hahaha. 70% of Americans are their drugs, hall of them take two or more. What's fucking worse is the fact the feed this shit to kids! Big man you know yourself ritalin isn't a drug kids should be taking, they'd be far better off smoking a fucking blunt."

Kaiser smirks then reaches into his pocket and pulls out a fat marijuana joint.

Kaiser: "You want some?"

Ricky Maine: "Nah you smoke it brother. This fucking idiot, Niko is it? yeah he's a fucking joke man, you glance over what he's about and you think he might be someone to look at, then you dig under the surface and discover his true identity. He sits there in his million dollar home pretending to be a man of the people, claiming to know their struggle, he doesn't know shit. There are literally millions of people living in poverty across America who have no voice and this mother fucker patronizes each and every last one of them. Right now he's probably sitting there getting his ass licked by his loyal staff thinking he is some sort of crusader, fighting for the American people against these evil Mexicans shipping their drugs into his great country. I can't wait to punch this bourgeois fucker right in his fucking face."

Kaiser exhales a huge plume of smoke before choking and cutting Maine off.

Kaiser: "Sure man sure.. maybe you should have a toke?"

Ricky Maine: "Hey I've got an idea, wake Killer up man, we've got to cut a promo."

Kaiser blows some smoke at Killer Instinct who was asleep on the couch.

Killer Instinct: "What the fuck do you guys want? Give me that fucking blunt man."

Ricky Maine: "So boys here's my idea. We're going to fly to Florida and rile up the locals. I've got hundreds of contacts down in Florida. Kaiser you sort out the flights. Killer, you work on getting our wardrobe ready, I'll sort out a list soon, I'll make sure we get media attention."

Maine smirks as the scene fades.

#OccupyTallahassee

At the Taylor House Museum of Historic Frenchtown, Tallahassee Kaiser, Killer Instinct and Ricky Maine are talking with a crowd of around 50 people. Some people listen, others make signs. Noticeably, the collective known as the Politburo are all dressed in sharp black suits with small American flags, perhaps mimicking the Governor?

Ricky Maine: "Today the plan is to challenge the Governor to address our concerns. Those concerns are, 1) the rising rate of incarceration across Florida, mostly due to the failed war on drugs. 2) the targeting of Latinos by Florida police forces. 3) the sharp rise in violent incidents instigated by police across Florida, and many, many other concerns. Yes, this is promoting my match against Governor Niko next Wednesday, but I do believe strongly in this cause, not only in Florida, but across America and the world. This isn't a one time thing, I have always been, and will always be a supporter of progressive politics. We are going to march from the Library to the Governor's mansion where we will demand an end to the war on drugs. Please keep in mind the police will be there in numbers and will most likely attempt to provoke us. I stress caution, but do not let the police intimidate you."

The crowd cheer as everyone begins to filter outside. The march begins without hassle but with a police escort. Kaiser and Killer help hold up a huge banned reading; "Niko, end the war on drugs!" Ricky Main walks near the front with victims of police brutality who have come to support the rally. As the rally moves down West Georgia Street they turn on North Adams Street toward the Governor's mansion. What started at about 80 people has grown to around 200 as the group reaches the mansion.

After #OccupyTallahassee leaders get some slogans out of the crowd and some important speakers are heard Ricky Maine is asked onto the stage. Kaiser and Killer set up a podium similar to the one Governor Niko uses before standing to the side. Kaiser and Killer are dressed like secret service agents. Ricky Maine finally approaches the podium and taps on the microphone..

Ricky Maine: "Ladies and gentlemen, first off thank you all for giving me this chance to speak here today. I want to address Governor Niko personally. In my opinion Kennedy, what you are is a Trojan horse. You parade around offering slogans to entice the masses but you and I know that you don't mean it. You claim to be this hero of the people, but why? What have you done that has actually helped the people? In Florida, under your watch, crime has gone up! poverty is through the roof! income equality grows every single day! These people here today are part of a growing group here in America, a group whom no politicians speaks for. Governor Niko, you are a fraud! We the people, here today, demand you address our concerns. Ronda Queen, a victim of a vicious assault by police officers right here in Tallahassee, demands you address her concerns. Marcus Jiminez, a man convicted and sentenced to 7 years for a crime he did not commit, demand you address his concerns!"

Suddenly a skinny man in a suit appears from the Governor's mansion with a letter in his hand, he passes it to Ricky Maine who reads it silently in his head.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Governor of Florida has handed me a note asking me to stop this protest and meet with him personally to address all of our concerns. At the end he has; "consider this not a proposal but a warning." hahahaha. Governor Niko, you cannot silence us!"

Maine rips the paper up and gets a huge cheer from the crowd.

"We the people will never be silenced!"

Out of nowhere a fight breaks out near the back of the crowd. Maine asks for the fight to stop which is almost does before riot police rush in an attack the five men who were involved in the scuffle. The crowd doesn't react kindly to the provocation by police and begin throwing rocks. More and more riot police turn up and arrest protestors. Kaiser, Killer Instinct and Ricky Maine jump into the ruckus after seeing a young woman being assaulted by police. After a good half an hour 54 people are arrested, including Ricky Maine and his Politburo comrades. The police push cameras away as they load the group into wagons and transport them to Tallahassee county jail.


[Later on inside the Tallahassee county jail]

Ricky Maine: "Hey mother fucker how come you won't accept my bail? Kaiser and Killer are out what about me?!"

"You're being held under the patriot act."

"What the fuck?! This is bullshit! I've got a match in Honolulu in a couple of da-"

Maine stops halfway through his sentence suddenly coming to the realization that Niko was using his political influence to hold him in jail.

"Fucking Niko eh? I knew he was a Trojan horse! Fucking scum. You get Niko down here!"

"You know the Governor, he takes wrestling very seriously, it improves his image, or so he thinks."

"No fucking way, no way! I'm going to be Honolulu and I'm going to rip the Governor a new hole! I'm too well known for Niko to keep me quiet."

"Hahahaha. No one is above the reach of Niko.. not even Obama himself."
