At first the story read: House building on Capitol Hill evacuated as armed gunman rushes past security checkpoints.
But, then news agencies quickly began changing the headlines to read: Toy gun shuts down U.S. House office building.
And now finally, we have: Hour long ordeal starts with staffers entering with Halloween costume.
They called in SWAT teams, they locked down the building, the later evacuated the building, they shut down the roads, hell… they shut down the government. Because of a toy gun on the day before Halloween. Terrorism awareness gone wild…
I will propose the Howdy Doody Law that will make it an act of terrorism to posses a simulated firearm, even on Halloween. Political action groups and committees will form shortly. I’ll keep you posted
Great gods, it just occurred ot me that the plastic meat cleaver that is a part of my youngest son’s Grim Reaper costume (he lost the scythe he had) could probably incur an ATF raid as he’s trick-or-treating tomorrow. I’d better turn him in to the Dept. Of Homeland Security now.
