Quotes.

Radley Balko:

• Cop shoots at unarmed man, arrests unarmed man. Unarmed man somehow still charged with “aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.”
• 5-year-old arrested, zip-tied at the hands and feet, and charged with battery on a police officer.

Joel Simon:

"I've been waiting for years for the staff of The Onion to just throw up their hands and give up trying to keep up with reality. In a world with such absurd people in it, what use is satire?"

Voltaire:

Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.

Personally, I still think the Voltaire quote may need to be updated to:

Those who want you to believe absurdities, have already committed the atrocities.
