School confiscates 9-year-old’s birthday cupcakes decorated with (miniature – duh) toy soldiers.
Said the boy’s principal, “[T] here are those who feel that guns create fear in schools and we need to put solid security measures in place plus practice routines to be prepared in case an emergency should ever occur. Living in a democratic society entails respect for opposing opinions.”
She added that some parents “prohibit all guns as toys,” and “no disrespect” was intended for members of the military, however, “Our commitment is always to our children and creating a safe place for them to learn, grow and have respectful dialogues about their differences.” First we confiscate what we find offensive, then we dialogue.
Senator Feinstein: Veterans may have PTSS so we must ban all veterans from possessing “assault” weapons.
“you know, with the advent of PTSD, which I think is a new phenomenon as a product of the Iraq War, [the Senator’s never heard of being “shell shocked” (WWI) or suffering “combat stress reaction” (WWII) – the phenomenon started in Iraq, and I blame Bush- Ed] it’s not clear how the seller or transferrer of a firearm covered by this bill would verify that an individual was a member, or a veteran, and that there was no impairment of that individual with respect to having a weapon like this.”
Support our troops. But lock ’em up, the monsters.
UPDATE: Perhaps Feinstein and that school principal are English: Afghan war vet told she can’t board plane wearing uniform “lest she offend other passengers.” Well what the hell, her being crazy and all …
