To Save the Republic

We've seen bombs and fire-fights in Boston, mass slaughter of children in schools, and (another) month of murderous mayhem in Chicago. So it's nice to know our stalwart police force is upping their game to secure our safety. From Fox News, we learn that last week the police put an 8th grader in jail - IN JAIL - on criminal charges - CRIMINAL CHARGES - for wearing a politically incorrect, but nevertheless legal, T-shirt to school.

Now, we know that if he had worn a T-shirt with a picture of a racist sadistic psycho like Che Guevara, or of bomb-throwing environmentalists, or even of cop-killers (sans, of course, images of the guns and bombs these people routinely employ), he would have been okay with the school district. But instead he chose a rather routine political message from the largest gun safety training organization in the United States in the world.

Ah, the naivete of youth.
