Dissonance

The local child pimps were all breathless this week, when one priapic halfwit flashed a squirt gun at another child on another bus. (Actually, it turned out to shoot plastic pellets. I used to have a Star Trek phaser that shot plastic disks; I wonder where that ever ended up?) A three hour school lockdown, saturation news coverage and felony charges all resulted.

Similar idiocy at UTenn, via His Virtualness.

Thank goodness the idiots are working hard to keep the children safe. This is probably even better than gun-free zones.

You don't have to be for or against control to think this stuff is silly- I see this more as the expression of the inner bureaucrat- ridiculous exaggerations in response to immediate tragedies is something built into our nature- sort of like nailing and glueing the doors and the windows too after the horse is gone. Remember holding up the security lines at airports while they randomly frisked old ladies and notified security over spilled detergent in the supermarket.
