Where's your outrage, 4K?

I can't believe no one's discussing this one. Do the excesses and abuses of a powerful government agency just not matter to you? Or do they only matter when said government agency has the ability to trample on rights you actually agree with, and you just don't give a fuck when it's the rights of other people?

No, that's not it, because this time it's actively contributing to the rising violence in Mexico that's been spilling back north into the US. People are dying, the BATFE (and the Justice Department is implicated as well) is directly responsible for at least 2,000 weapons flowing into the hands of the hyper-violent Mexican drug cartels, and no one seems to care???

I don't get it, 4K. Enlighten me -- why do none of you seem outraged? Why are you silent on this, but roaringly obsessed with a flap of skin on the wee-wees of children?

This has been all over all the news networks for weeks, I've already posted about it once (to a whopping singular reply mostly concerned with nit-picking one statistic), and yet y'all are more concerned with whether or not "slut" can be "reclaimed"? I don't get it -- why don't you seem to care?
