My Icon Illustrates My Frustration

None of my friends would do this sort of thing, and while I know that there are people out there I cannot be friends with - the fact that people like *THIS* exist just fucks up my whole universe.

Where is my corrective baseball bat?





I know, I know...more violence is not the answer. But it can certainly be satisfying to consider as an option.

Its days like this that I am completely mortified to be identified a citizen of this country. Not because of potential bodily harm, but because things like this reflect on all of us and are morally unconscionable to an extreme that makes me want to puke.

Terrible news. I'm thinking justice would be some time spent in a locked room full of "chemical irritants," but there's that darned "cruel and unusual punishment" clause.

It's another lovely case of "fear breeding fear" - and I think a healthy dose of "I feel I have an excuse for my shitty behavior and so I am going to do it - even though I know I shouldn't" thrown in.

It would do these idiots more good to be sent to work in a Muslim community long enough to realize that they are hurting people that are just like them.

Sadly, that isn't going to make a big difference to the folks that they hurt.
