  1. At least this would require an actual charge to be filed, apparently unlike Oregon. That's sorta like due process, kinda. In a way.

  2. Will they include steak knives, power tools, and any other devices that could inflict harm on another human such as shoes? No? Then they are being too selective. Better yet, lock the accused in a padded room and feed them only Jello, because they may hurt someone with their bare hands. We cannot let that happen.
