Murder Death Kill!

Uh oh! Murders! Young people! Don't worry, folks. Mayor Bates is on the job. His investigative acumen is not to be discounted.

At last week's city council meeting, Mayor Tom Bates said it is the city's responsibility to determine the cause of these incidents.

"What's apparent to me is these petty disputes turn fatal," Bates said. "It seems like we need to examine what's going on."

Studies! More importantly, funded studies! Commission on "What's going on when petty disputes turn fatal" in the works!

Councilmember Darryl Moore said violent societal trends play a role in the recent incidents involving local youth.

"When I was growing up, people had fistfights," he said in an interview yesterday. "Today, they pull out knives and guns and fatally harm each other."

I'll tell you what happened. We raised a generation of pussies who are too afraid to get into a fight if they're going to get bruised up. This is what happens when you teach pacifism in schools. People get murdered. I'm not even joking.

(I was playing around with Blogger's spell checker. Apparently, "councilmember" is not a word, and must be "councilwoman" or some such. The PC folks haven't caught up here. Also, "fistfights" is not a word, and should be replaced with "postfix.")

Ah yes, a commission. How Berkeley.

And I've heard plenty of people talk about the 60's, and how you could hide a switchblade in your beehive hairdo, and then whip it out as needed at high school. So not everybody was content to settle disputes with postfix. :)
