SAN ANTONIO — A longtime adviser to Gov. Rick Perry, upset over his abrupt firing at a Texas university, admitted Thursday he told staff he would surrender his office keys only if “anyone is man enough to take them” – all while brandishing a pocketknife in what police called a “nonthreatening” way.
Jay Kimbrough didn’t deny the confrontation detailed in a Texas A&M University police report, which includes the 64-year-old telling a school attorney to “bring it on.” [BSG note: To which the attorney probably replied, "It's already been broughten".] He was escorted off campus and quoted an Army war hero – “I shall return!” – before riding off on his motorcycle.
“There was no threat,” Kimbrough said. “This is Texas. Some people have guns when they jog. Some people have pocketknives. It was a joke.” Texas A&M police said no charges were being filed against Kimbrough, who was fired Wednesday as deputy chancellor of the A&M system.
Later, Kimbrough had another run-in with two plain-clothes officers who were sent to escort him off campus. “I met Kimbrough at the entrance to the Chancellors suite and identified myself as a University Police Officer,” the report states. “Kimbrough replied, `So am I.’ Kimbrough placed his hand on both my arms and applied slight pressure towards the entrance of the Chancellor’s Suite. I placed my hands on Kimbrough and held my ground.” Kimbrough didn’t deny that, either, but said he shook the officers’ hands and thanked them. For good measure, Kimbrough left by quoting former Army General Douglas MacArthur: “I shall return.”

Now if that had me brandishing my pocketknife in a nonthreatening way, I would be enjoying a cavity search by my local constabulary as I checked in for a stay courtesy of the local gray-bar hotel.

You can't "brandish" something in a "nonthreatening" way. Brandish means to wave, feature, menace, etc.
typical aggie.
WHOOP THIS!
Do you know who I am… Do you know who I am…
Do you know who I freakin’ am… I am friends with Governor Good hair you idiots!! I am one of his best cronies!!
Dbl fake Jay Kimbrough
Now days it is not uncommon under those circumstances for "I shall return" to mean he might be back for revenge. Never make an older man mad, they can be very dangerous

There are a lot of Yankees working in this fine state, but that doesn't make them Texans.
Mr. Kimbrough is an SMU alumni and you sir are a typical idiot without a clue.
Whoop that!
If he had been black he would be in jail. Or maybe he is holding something over the right person's head. Most of us would be in jail more than likely even us whites.
What's this?

WWJHSLD? For the interlopers, WWJHD = What Would Jar Head Snip Lip Do? Never trust an Ex-Marine - they can go off on you at any time, especially the baldies.
And yes Brother Darryl, I agree with you totally.

12:59, Good job of contradicting your own statement. Feeling a little white guilt are you?
@2:21-- There's no such thing as a Ex-Marine.
Ya know, you're right 5:41pm......the retired ones are sometimes full of shrapnel and hatred, buffered by pain pills, paranoid and carrying concealed weapons, which makes them even more crazy than this dude is, at least the ones I know. How cool is that? Meh, not so much to me.
@6:24 -- "paranoid and carrying concealed weapons, which makes them even more crazy than this dude is,"
I'm no Marine. I have met some that may have been crazy.
I'm not sure of your meaning, but if you think carrying concealed indicates that one is paranoid and/or crazy, then you are pulling the ostrich move and are ignoring what is, in fact, going on around you, wherever you are.
