Congratulations America, It Is No Longer Safe To Be Smart In This Country
Posted by Christopher Smith
Boing Boing finally got an interview with the “Boston Airport suicide bomber”. You know, I can almost forgive what happened at the airport (mistakes happen, people are stupid and twitchy, and sometimes this means people’s lives are put at risk for no good reason). What I frankly cannot accept is what happened afterwards. I’m sorry, but I cannot believe an honest and rational person would conclude that Star Simpson did anything worthy of being charged with a crime. Between Star Simpson going to the airport wearing her funky sweater and me speeding in my car, I am the greater threat to people’s safety, and I won’t get charged with a crime even if I’m caught.
