This beggars belief (and I mean that in both interpretations): The incident occurred at the Mechanicsburg, Pa., Halloween parade where Ernie Perce, an atheist activist, marched as a zombie Muhammad. Talaag Elbayomy, a Muslim, attacked Perce, and he was arrested by police. Judge Martin threw the case out on the grounds that Elbayomy was [...]  Not entirely without its risks. I wonder if that kind of work comes with medical insurance? Rage against the machine, etc. Speak truth to power, and so on. Dissent is the highest form of… you get the picture. But sometimes it doesn’t quite work out the way you’d hoped. It’s very important for the general aviation cohort to check them prior to embarking on a cross-country.

Some among the liberal left in this country don’t like guns. Don’t want to have them in the house. For the children. Don’t think you should have them either. Look at all the crime, they argue.
