In commenting on a Yahoo! article about the karfluffle of the fourteen-year old student now facing a year in jail for refusing to remove his pro-NRA T-shirt some anonymous "John" took offense to my un-heroic view of police officers as pigs. "John" replied that:
When I worked the streets we used to throw bananas out the window of the car for the "monkeys" in the hood!
To which I, in turn, affirmed:
Which is why I fervently support my right to bear arms! Oink, oink
You see, it is not exclusively the agenda of liberal PCmongers who want to restrict our liberties and enjoyment of life but, perhaps more dogmatically, the national police officers unions who lobby to criminalize everything under the Sun, disenfranchise every group not of their ilk, and pump more funding and citizens-cum-convicts into military industrial complexes known politely as correctional facilities. These are penitentiaries - human warehouses - and there is very little correct about them.
"John" sounds like just the sort of pig who would win favor with Bull Connor. To quote Arthur Conan Doyle: Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Dagnammit, where'd I leave my hood?
