“No reason anymore to even feign surprise at today’s police state insanities. At Townhall yesterday, I bemoaned the six-hour kidnapping of a 10-year-old Maryland boy and his 6-year-old sister for the terrible crime of peacefully walking home from a public park. The children were grabbed just a couple blocks from their home . . . by police, who held them for over two hours before handing them to Montgomery County Child Protective Services. It was hours before anyone contacted the panicked parents. There’s no law prohibiting kids from walking down a public street, but bureaucrats are threatening this poor family over just that.”
