Lots of fun to do and look at. Give your­self time to think, though!

Can you make citizens’ arrests for “‘unimaginably stupid’ conduct”?

From the Car­roll County Times of West­min­ster, Maryland:

Accord­ing to The Sacra­mento Bee, a fam­ily in El Dorado, Calif., is in trou­ble after spend­ing a fam­ily out­ing mak­ing pipe bombs and then test­ing them.… Accord­ing to the Bee, Justin Lee Brown, 29, was arrested on sus­pi­cion of sev­eral felonies. He, his girl­friend and their two sons, ages 6 and 8, had one of the more inter­est­ing fam­ily out­ings ever.… When asked about the activ­ity, Brown said he learned how to make bombs from friends and “decided to try it so he could show it to his kids.” … Brown is in jail and Tiffany Dean, the mom, is being inves­ti­gated for what deputies call “unimag­in­ably stu­pid” conduct.

I’m hold­ing my breath, hop­ing that no asso­ci­a­tion with the pagan com­mu­nity or Spi­ral Scouts will come to light. That’s what came to mind first, hon­estly. If it had hap­pened in Alabama instead of Cal­i­for­nia, though, I’d be rea­son­ably safe in assum­ing some degree of rela­tion to Dean and Brown. I’ve never regret­ted mov­ing to Geor­gia — specif­i­cally, to metro Atlanta. I’d be quite happy to move else­where, but as this story shows, you can find red­necks anywhere.
