What fueled 9/11's calamity was that it was an act of war on the entire country and that it shattered the illusion of security. Not just how many people died. It's not impossible that after the first fire, people still wouldn't think twice about gathering in public.<br /><br />The second point's already been said but it's worth repeating; had they not beat the boy senseless, chances are he wouldn't have so much rage that he kills 30+ people.

It's just a topic I'm a little triggery on. I got to watch my eldest deemed a freak at the ripe age of six by his teachers at school (basically for being smarter and more widely traveled than most of them (very small, isolated town)). In about six months, they managed to drop his reading by a grade level, give him an ulcer, and convince him there was something fundamentally wrong with him. So we beat tracks as fast as we could find work elsewhere. Weirdly enough, a larger town, and a new school, and a couple of years of patient teachers repaired most of the damage, and he's now a high-school student in honor's classes across the board.<br /><br />Nobody's going to be setting our real life little town on fire, but I might not cross the street to piss on them if they were. The idea that the proper way to deal with people who are "off", for whatever reason, is to beat them into line needs to die an unmourned death, the sooner the better.Perpetual Beginnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09625596315528064536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9114808246459538090.post-69704342140951150842012-07-10T22:35:16.625-04:002012-07-10T22:35:16.625-04:00i'd say vardulon deserves a little creative li...i'd say vardulon deserves a little creative license - a little leeway to make his point. and garcia definitely needs a raise! seriously, that girl is doing ALL the work. the rest of the team should be embarrassed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9114808246459538090.post-6106898028163106922011-04-18T01:02:52.896-04:002011-04-18T01:02:52.896-04:00Oh, you're right about that one - I just thoug...Oh, you're right about that one - I just thought the witch hunt message got a little lost, so I went a little absurd with it.Vardulonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17821844774999740966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9114808246459538090.post-41929575411811677782011-04-16T02:32:44.462-04:002011-04-16T02:32:44.462-04:00I think the relevant CM PSA here is that there are...I think the relevant CM PSA here is that there are more constructive ways to deal with emotionally unstable kids than deeming them freaks and beating the crap out of them. In my experience, getting beaten up rarely does anything good to one's stability - or general hostility levels. So perhaps if back then the adults could have acted like actual grown-ups, they could have avoided turning a traumatized kid into a cold-blooded killer?Perpetual Beginnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09625596315528064536noreply@blogger.com
