Feet first..

Sounds like the school and the media messed up, but I'm glad the children are safe.

Newspaper dated.. April 1972. Obviously those props are fake,,

Sorry, just an amusing sidenote... The other day I watched the 1972 movie The Getaway where Steve McQueen plays a bank robber on the run. There was a brief scene where he was sitting on a bus stop bench next to a woman. He got up and left, then she picked up and opened a newspaper to see an article about him and his picture. The article next to it had a headline that read something like 'Search ends for Hijacker'.

I emailed R99 to try and get him here...

Ditto Joe, I spent 20 years of my life throwing my ass into the fire. Here we are in Act III of our lives and I feel frustrated like those 20 were wasted. This is not where or how we should be.

The nature of the situation is that we have for too long been living in a nascent, militarized, police state where many are no longer comfortable interacting with those hired to "serve and protect", me included, so it should be no surprise that people freak out at the sight of a Black Maria and fear the worst. I humbly submit that some, quite reasonably, consider the worst these days to be having your kids captured and taken away perhaps never to be seen again. But that forced perception by some groups is Trumps America.
