Cue the cattle cars

Via Joe, forced vaccinations of children in Maryland. Armed guards, attack dogs, it's unbelievable this is happening in the United States.

Children herded like cattle into Maryland courthouse for forced vaccinations as armed police and attack dogs stand guard.
The only good news here is that it is apparently illegal. Reminiscent of this, our betters are getting dangerously close to the line, if they haven't crossed it already. I say this sort of thing does cross the line, both morally and legally.

The really scary thing is though, these officials see nothing wrong in this. To quote Clair Wolfe, don't shoot the bastards, yet. If we keep going down this path, we're going to realize one day that we crossed the Rubicon already and we won't have any choices left.

Call me a spineless coward if you like (honestly, I would not mind), but I really, really hope that moment comes well after my time.

Unfortunately, it would seem as though my hopes are in vain, though.

I think you need to read a version of events that was not written by a frothing-mouthed idiot.

Sadly, I agree with you, Linoge.

So give me a pointer, Anonymous. Where is the happy version of force vaccinations? Who is the idiot? Not Joe Huffman, I personally know him. Do you?

I've updated the posting. The facts in the story appear to be correct even if the spin is bordering on hysterical. I even found a picture of a police officer with a dog.
