      we should consider CHOP a political science class teachable moment… or not.

      In honor of the artist formerly known as CHAZCHOP, I give you a stunningly on-point video by the great punk band Against Me:

      Everybody wants their egregious errors to be considered “teachable moments.”  Reminds of when Obama said that about the cops acting stupidly.

      how about we call chop what it was:  another gunpowder plot that failed.

      lets call it a Zimbardo experiment.  6 square blocks is not a gunpowder plot…the scope is off.

      Let’s call Chop what it is.  A complete failure of leadership by local and state officials.

      funny you bring up phil Z. The police issue is the phil Z experiment.

      ok, so the scope is off, UK parliament much smaller.  Fewer people died  in the gunpowder plot, but both were about about a functional overthrow of government.  Just another rebellion.  ‘Course the gunpowder plotters were drawn and quartered, so there’s that.
