America is a nation of people who are afraid of everything.
Fear is fed to us by the news media and perpetuated by those radical few with large mouths.
Every time shit like this comes up, I think of the scene in the movie
Monty Python and the Holy Grail, when a crows brings a woman to Bedevere...
Quote:
FIRST VILLAGER
We have found a witch.May we burn her?
ALL
A Witch! Burn her!
BEDEVERE
How do you know she is a witch?
ALL
She looks like one. Yes, she does.
BEDEVERE
Bring her forward.
They bring her forward - a beautiful YOUNG GIRL dressed up as a witch.
WITCH
I am not a witch.I am not a witch.
BEDEVERE
But you are dressed as one.
WITCH
They dressed me up like this.
ALL
We didn't, we didn't!
WITCH
This is not my nose,It is a false one.
BEDEVERE takes her nose off.
BEDEVERE
Well?
FIRST VILLAGER
... Well, we did do the nose.
BEDEVERE
The nose?
FIRST VILLAGER
And the hat. But she is a witch.
ALL
A witch,a witch,burn her!
BEDEVERE
Did you dress her up like this?
FIRST VILLAGER
... Um ... Yes ... no ... a bit ... yes... she has got a wart.
BEDEVERE
Why do you think she is a witch?
SECOND VILLAGER
She turned me into a newt.
BEDEVERE
A newt?
SECOND VILLAGER
(After looking at himself for some time)
I got better.
ALL
