After watching the news for some time, I realize the motivation for men who commit crimes: they need money to buy a razor.
Just look at their pictures. None is clean-shaven, and most have at least a 5:00 (and 6:00, and 8:00…) shadow.
So, I propose taking up a collection to buy a million (to start with) disposable razors to give out to men contemplating committing crimes. I figure that should cut our crime rate in half.
Are you with me?
Razor blades embedded in playground equipment?! I thought that nobody would do such a thing. Until the news reported that it has happened four times in a San Diego, CA playground. And in an Illinois playground a month ago. And in Philadelphia eleven months ago. Where else, I wonder.
But I wonder even more how anyone could fasten razor blades to jungle gyms and climbing bars or bury them in sandboxes, knowing full well that little children would have fingers, hands, and knees sliced open, causing pain to them and their parents.
I hope for a quick catching and prosecuting of those people. An adult’s responsibility is to protect children, not to terrorize them.
