I was merely making a general point about “words on paper” — sometimes more dangerous than “the sword”, you know, in a certain time and circumstance.
My guess here is that there may be clues leading to another prospective crazy.
Now, if in several months Hale’s writings are still a secret without a darn good reason given for holding them, then I would begin to wonder if the greater danger was the manifesto (etc.) or the holders...
Fair enough, and good point about other potential psychos lurking. I have a different suspicion about it but who knows, you might have a point there and the local cops don’t want to catalyze anyone.
Maybe.
