She said the billboard brings to her mind one of the most horrendous examples of that, the Wounded Knee Massacre on the Pine Ridge Reservation in 1890. Historical accounts say the 7th Cavalry had detained a band of Native Americans and asked them to give up their weapons. Troops began firing after a shot rang out. Death toll estimates of Native American men, women and children range from 150 to 300. [More]So what's the problem here...?

Just when you think The Stupid can't possibly burn any more.
I had to read the article multiple times before I was able to convince myself that this "logic" was really, yes, no kidding, being offered un-ironically. But the incredulity is still there.
Sometimes I think that the control freaks have actually started to willfully embrace their own ignorance and stupidity--crossing their own streams, in Ghostbuster-speak--in an attempt to get sane people to spontaneously self-destruct from trying to deal with that much cognitive dissonance.
On the other hand, that would be a pretty brilliant play, wouldn't it? Far too brilliant for anyone whose own personal safety would be assured in a cognitive dissonance attack.
Even the ironies give me a headache.
