A Right Not To Be Mocked

John C. Wright is still ranting about Bristol Palin. Apparently, even if a woman starts a drunken fight, finding humor in that fact is unacceptable, and pointing out that she started said fight is a distraction. I suppose pointing out that she could have gotten her nose broken for her instead of just unceremoniously hauled out of the place is beyond the pale.

In any event, Wright seeks a right not to be mocked. He's not prepared to extend that right to anybody who disagrees with him.

Two Items of Good News

Item #1 - Last night, my Rotary club, working with various volunteers including the local Girl Scouts, packed over 750 meals for our backpack program. This program sends Darien school-kids home with food on the weekend - food they otherwise wouldn't have. It's a shame that's needed in Darien, but we're doing something about it.

Item #2 - two of my dinner companions last night.

Oh that was precious! Or actually, THAT WAS FUCKING HYSTERICAL!

Wow. There is a guy who really doesn't grasp reality, the law, how real life works or pretty much anything else.

I suspect the response I just left there will reduce him to apoplexy I hope.

Bit busy being a right wing captain of industry today to worry :p

I am surprised that of the things I said that was the bit he had an issue with. I was actually mocking the dimwit on his board who claimed that the police only did stuff after the fact, which isn't true. The police will stop a crime in progress i.e. assault, affray, public disorder and the like. The tricky stuff is stalking or threats rather than actual stuff.

For somebody who uses such purple prose to discuss words, he's remarkably incoherent isn't he?

Do you have a link to some objective reports of the incident?

Anchorage Daily News has an article http://www.adn.com/article/20141009/anchorage-police-no-charges-palin-birthday-brawl and there are internal links to other articles.
