The Case of the Steak Knife…

Fox news is running what I’ll call the outrage of the week: [1]

School officials say the Ocala 5th grader had brought a piece of steak for her lunch, and a four and a half inch steak knife with which to cut it. According to the report, a couple of teachers took the utensil and called authorities, who arrested the girl and took her to the county’s juvenile assessment center.

The girl’s uncle, Kenneth Thomas, told MyFOXOrlando that his niece had to ride in the back of a patrol car.

Captain Jimmy Pogue of the Marion County Sheriff’s office said the 10-year-old was not treated like a criminal.

“I don’t want people to feel like we’re arresting 10-year-olds, handcuffing them, and hauling them off in a back of a patrol car and taking them to jail,” Pogue told MyFOXOrlando. “That’s not the circumstance.”

Really? So why was she in the back of the patrol car, Jimmy?

McQ over at Q&O asks: [2]

Where are the adults in this country and what has happened to common sense?

The answer to both questions is that they’ve been deleted by “good government”.
