I wasn't there so I do not know if the guy simply had the gun in a holster or in his hand pointed down. I personally did not see him point a gun directly at these kids, nor did the parents see him do so. The kids where unsupervised and apparently not given basic lessons on respect and personal safety.

Children and adults are known to embellish story's in the telling. Fish often double or triple in size and dogs become 20 pounds heaver and foaming at the mouth. A good parent keeps this in mind when their offspring tells how an event happened.

Please take responsibility for those under your protection, sit them down and explain that not everyone they meet is mentally stable. This alone is reason enough to talk to your kids about strangers and other peoples property.

Teach them to avoid bad situations, its called being a good parent.

The first thing I noticed is that it appears she had a wonderful day at the spa and one hell of a good makeup artist.

The artfully attempt at the casual hair due is betrayed by what seems to be very high quality highlighted hair and styling.

Nice even tan, Tanning bed or spray on, its not a natural.

While I think I would sue whoever did her eyebrows I have to say the blending of the makeup is outstanding, right down to the flesh colored lipstick.

The intensity of the eye makeup drew me right to those eyes without a hint of redness from crying.

She forgot that when you are depicting that much emotion there should be at least one tear, and a runny nose. Not one Sniffle.

Nor did I see any signs that she has had any recent crying spells.

Not sure that sweater works with that tan.

Should I go on?

I recall that the term witch-hunt was used, maybe we should start a separate forum dedicated to the Malleus Maleficarum and the hundreds of thousands of lives lost because of the hysteria created by this one book.

250 plus years of mass hysteria.

I have no way to define it, its like something created and distorted by Mass Hysteria and Social Indoctrination.

I can't understand why people would be willing to sacrifice the rights of another and not conceive of the fact that in so doing, a precedent has been established to remove their own rights.

They do not seem to understand that they are one circumstance or allegation away from being in a comparable situation. Zero empathy of the individual without seeming to understand that they themselves are an individual susceptible to the same treatment by their peers because they have supported the mob mentality.

Granted.
Intentions work great in the mind but not always in the implementation.

It was all an ugly feeding frenzy and very terrifying to watch. Its still more than a little frightening seeing how "Society" "Common People" and media could disregard simple human rights let alone constitutional rights.

The privilege of citizenship is supposed to guaranty our rights to a fair trial. Even without our constitution each of us is covered by the Universal declaration of human rights, America did sign in on this along with most of the country's in the United Nations.

Universal Declaration of Human Rights. http://www.un.org/events/humanrights/2007/hrphoto...

I am struck by the second point of the preamble.

"Whereas disregard and contempt for human
rights have resulted in barbarous acts which
have outraged the conscience of mankind,
and the advent of a world in which human
beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and
belief and freedom from fear and want has
been proclaimed as the highest aspiration
of the common people,"

These rights belong to us and can not, or should not be taken away from any one of us, by any of us.
