Been working alot lately with the new position. Which kind of sucks, but the tradeoff is dramatically increased income, which doesn’t suck. I picked up on this link at Catallarchy and probably also saw it a few days back from Radley Balko. Anyways, this is just a passing observation because I don’t have the time right now to develop a decent length article, although, in light of the Katrina incident, I imagine it’s going to be on Charity. I have a good base of ideas brainstormed. Here is your moment of zen:

Some groups, the reporters wrote, “organized themselves into assembly lines to more efficiently cart off goods. Inside the store, one woman was stocking up on make-up. She said she took comfort in watching police load up their own carts. ‘It must be legal,’ she said. ‘The police are here taking stuff, too.'”

Here’s the whole article, for your amusment

Think about it. Yeah, take a deep breath and let it sink in: by logical extension, the next time some innocent youth from the ghetto gets blasted by the po-lice on a routine shake-down, it must be legal, because the police are doing it too?

Right?
