The sign that was being propped up by a loaded shotgun.
Mesa police have released an audio recording from yesterday's arrest of 37-year-old Jeremy Wiseman, who decided to picket the Mesa Police Department with a shotgun at 3 a.m.

Really, the audio sounds like the situation just as police described it, except for the exclusion of the officer's sigh of relief after getting the cuffs on Wiseman: "It's a fuckin' shotgun."

Regardless of political affiliation, people across the country are pissed off about one thing or another, but there are only a few cities that -- as a whole -- are more pissed off than Phoenix, according to a recent ranking of pissed off cities.

The Daily Beast website has ranked Phoenix one of "America's 10 Angriest Cities" based on the number of protesters who showed up during the "Occupy Phoenix" demonstration and the  demonstrators who attended a 2009 Tea Party rally.

See our coverage of the "Occupy Phoenix" rally here.

Phoenix, according to the rankings, is the sixth angriest city in the country.

We wish these were the guys camped out in front of our offices today. Unfortunately, our protesters were teabaggers.
The monotony of a fairly slow news day was briefly interrupted here at New Times this afternoon, when a trio of Hispanic teabaggers (J.D. Hayworth supporters, nonetheless) camped out in front of our downtown Phoenix offices to call our writers "communists" with no "itelligence."

We're assuming they meant intelligence but we caught their drift.

They were surprisingly pleasant, as far as angry protesters go. Check out some photos after the jump.
