One little boy standing outside the Bataclan theatre, the scene of Friday's deadliest attack, is asked if he understands why suspected Isis militants opened fire on crowded concert.

The boy has more wisdom than his own father, proving being liberal is an acquired state of mind and could possibly not be an inheritable condition.

Father: "Yes, but there are bad guys everywhere. " 'They might have guns, but we have flowers': Father reassuring son in wake of Paris attacks

Boy: "But flowers don't do anything, they're for, they're for.....

So how much more lethal is a rose compared to a daffodil?

I’m reminded of the Charlie Hebdo massacre.

The muzzies had semi and fully automatic firepower. And were using it.

The lesson they obviously didn’t learn: Never bring a whistle to a gun fight.

The kid still has his common sense and hasn't been polluted by the disease of liberalism like his Father has.....yet.
