College locked down in Albany, Oregon

Here we go...and...action!

Linn-Benton Community College was locked down this morning and then closed after a report that a man wearing a trenchcoat on campus might have guns.

MIGHT have guns.

But he didn't.

Oh, those trenchcoats. Those fashion accessories of death.

Columbine! The West Memphis Three! Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no trenchcoats, for the police are with me; their tasers and their guns they comfort me....

No. They scare us. And that's what they're supposed to do.

You may not buy into it. You may love trenchcoats as I do. But you can no longer look at someone wearing a black trenchcoat without thinking of either Columbine or The Matrix. I defy you to do so.

WITCH HUNT

The West Memphis Three were persecuted for their taste in clothes and music six years before Columbine.


Rumors spread, accusations fly.
