Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

"The sad truth is, it's real easy to get all worked into a lather after a tragedy and start acting from blind panic. Especially when we can limit our panic to 'them,' i.e., Asians, Middle Easterners, Goths, whoever. Then people get sort of embarassed and go 'sorry about that citizen, but no harm done. Better safe than sorry, eh?'

"But harm is done. Incalculable harm every time we treat our vital due process and constitutional protections as a joke."
