What's hilarious about this is that they've likely been doing this for years and just happened to time seeding at exactly the wrong time when they were about to get large rainfall. It reminds me of our government that never thought that a clever con artist and devout fascist would be elected, (by land owning white men), and then that same guy would stuff the Supreme Court with Christo-fascists who would continue to work to get him reelected for life.
The Supreme Court refused to hear a case where the lower court ruled that a person who organizes a rally is responsible for anyone who harms another person at that rally. Currently, thanks to the Supreme Court, there are three states that have essentially banned free speech; Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, (of course). Welcome to Republican America where money is speech, corporations are people and people only have the rights corporations, money and the Christian right allow. It's getting ugly.
