Snooki, to quote the infamous Dr. Evazan from Star Wars,”I don’t like you either.”

It’s the kind of pistol you start a race with. It shoots blanks so that no one gets injured from bullets randomly falling from the sky.

Perhaps his wife was afraid of guns, and this is just the kind of motivation she needed to get over that fear.

Yay! A story with a cop that doesn’t leave me filled with frustration for once. I’m glad there’s at least a few good police officers still out there.

If we can’t get something to stick from all this stuff being brought to light, then it’s going to be time pretty soon to hang up our diplomatic apparel and pick up the boxing gloves.

@Geo,
You, of course, are correct. Had even 50 or so armed citizens been there and calmly but seriously trained their arms on these base cowards, disarmed them and turned them in, these kind of acts would not be possible for much longer. (Either that or we’d be at war.) Sadly, the govt wants us thinking that they’re doing all only for our benefit, and that we can’t think clearly enough to stand up for our own defense, and certainly not enough to act in response to something they and their thugs are doing.

And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!

When the Cambrian measures were forming, They promised perpetual peace.
They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
But when we disarmed They sold us and delivered us bound to our foe,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: “Stick to the Devil you know.”

On the first Feminian Sandstones we were promised the Fuller Life
(Which started by loving our neighbour and ended by loving his wife)
Till our women had no more children and the men lost reason and faith,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: “The Wages of Sin is Death.”

In the Carboniferous Epoch we were promised abundance for all,
By robbing selected Peter to pay for collective Paul;
But, though we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: “If you don’t work you die.”

Then the Gods of the Market tumbled, and their smooth-tongued wizards withdrew
And the hearts of the meanest were humbled and began to believe it was true
That All is not Gold that Glitters, and Two and Two make Four
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings limped up to explain it once more.

As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began.
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool’s bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;

@CanadaRocks Here’s another lovely little rhyme. It’s also outdates yours a bit, though. orry about that.
AS I PASS through my incarnations in every age and race,
I make my proper prostrations to the Gods of the Market Place.
Peering through reverent fingers I watch them flourish and fall,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings, I notice, outlast them all.

We were living in trees when they met us. They showed us each in turn
That Water would certainly wet us, as Fire would certainly burn:
But we found them lacking in Uplift, Vision and Breadth of Mind,
So we left them to teach the Gorillas while we followed the March of Mankind.

We moved as the Spirit listed. They never altered their pace,
Being neither cloud nor wind-borne like the Gods of the Market Place,
But they always caught up with our progress, and presently word would come
That a tribe had been wiped off its icefield, or the lights had gone out in Rome.

With the Hopes that our World is built on they were utterly out of touch,
They denied that the Moon was Stilton; they denied she was even Dutch;
They denied that Wishes were Horses; they denied that a Pig had Wings;
So we worshipped the Gods of the Market Who promised these beautiful things.
