Larger than life and twice as ugly

Ah, Texas. The state that should serve as a warning to us all. Considering it's where we first saw what kind of leader George W. Bush would be, and it's where most of his cronies seem to come from. To say nothing of the fact that it's the home of the Chainsaw Massacre.

Ok, what I'm doing here is called burying the lead. Because I wanted to ease you into this gently. Take a deep breath.

In Austin, Texas today, two men driving in a car struck and injured a little girl. The driver had gotten out of the car to check on her, when a group of men attacked him. His passenger got out to help and the driver was able to get away.

The crowd beat the passenger to death.

The girl was taken to the hospital, her injuries are said to be non life-threatening.

You see it, don't you?

A completely misdirected overreaction that does nothing for anyone it might have been said to be for, and ends with the tragedy of needless death.

I don't have to draw you a picture.

Texas. If I had to live there, you'd have to drug me...
