I’ve been thinking about blogging about the situation in Texas. It’s a ticklish situation, but it needs to be addressed. Happily, I don’t have to; James and Stacy McDonald have taken up the task instead. So, all I have to say is, “Read these posts.”
Well, except something my wife pointed out.
The original raid was prompted by a single anonymous phone call, right? (Which, by the way, turns out to have been fake.) So, on the basis of a single anonymous phone call, the police are allowed to raid what is essentially a small town? That would be like the police raiding every house in the University East neighborhood on the basis of a single anonymous drug tip.
I thought that kind of thing only happened in “bad” countries. Hmm.
