Mind-Boggling Absurdity

From Mr. Always On Watch:

You can't make this shit up!

This morning, on the local news, I heard about this
:
Buying a ski mask isn't illegal, but could restricting their sale help prevent crime?

The notion is stirring debate among some Northwest Washington residents after reports of robberies committed by men wearing ski masks. The frequency of the robberies also has caught attention of police, who say one neighborhood crew is frequently purchasing masks at a local sports store for the express purpose of committing robberies.

"They clearly are a problem. Otherwise, we wouldn't see it being mentioned in all the reports," said Faith Wheeler, an Advisory Neighborhood Commission member from the Takoma neighborhood in Northwest.

[...]

On a Metropolitan Police Department-run listserv, Ms. Wheeler was one of several people who broached the subject of trying to discourage the sale of ski masks in the neighborhood, or asked legislators whether there are other ways to ban their sale....
Pathetic. Just pathetic.

The problem is not that these morons exist, they always did, but now people (more morons) are listening to them, and putting microphones under their noses ...

Oh, I forgot! Let's not forget that many of these morons are in positions of power.
