Congratulations America, It Is No Longer Safe To Be Smart In This Country
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.
