Policing Porn Isn't Part of The Job
Rick Zeman wrote to mention a Washington Post article about an incident at a Bethesda library. Two uniformed men from a Homeland Security detachment made an announcement stating that pornography was not acceptable viewing at the library. They then questioned a patron's choice of reading material. From the article: "A librarian intervened, and the two men went into the library's work area to discuss the matter. A police officer arrived. In the end, no one had to step outside except the uniformed men. They were officers of the security division of Montgomery County's Homeland Security Department, an unarmed force that patrols about 300 county buildings -- but is not responsible for enforcing obscenity laws."
Really? Come on, that's taking this a bit far. This was two people taking it upon themselves to try to stop someone from viewing porn in a library. They should be more familure with the law they're trying to enforce, but that's a bit short of making it a conspiracy.
Someone save me from this sanity.
Montgomery County is one of the most liberal counties in one of the most liberal states in the country. The "Homeland Security" people in question work for the county, not for the US gov't. And I'm not surprised that they would stoop to bullying library patrons, although I doubt it's authorized, and the perpetrators will probably be disciplined (but not fired, oh no).
Although, you have to wonder if it's another hoax, like that other "Damning Homeland Security Library Story".
Although this was done by people working for a liberal county, in a liberal state, and the whole idea of "Homeland Security Departments" was hatched by liberals and just adopted by Bush after 9/11, I'm sure everyone here will blame Bush. Go Slashdot!
But what gays have ever seriously advocated forcing their "lifestyle" on others?
I've heard the Federal Prison System is filled with them. Also see Pulp Fiction http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110912/ and Deliverance http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068473/
