So far, as a nation, we have managed to go for more than 200 years without making a habit of shooting college women on sight and asking questions later.

Nobody shot her. They asked questions -- she ran away. Then they detained her to get an explanation. I thought she said she was proud of her "art" work? Why did she not want to explain it?

You know we use words because they mean things. She didn't flee, she didn't run away. She left. No they didn't "detain" her. They surrounded her with automatic weapons and threatened to blow her brains out if she moved. Apparently they did not actually want an explanation, since once it turned out not to be a real bomb they charged her withing having a fake bomb, but it wasn't that either.

How about the notion that the girl is legally innocent of that which you are accusing her of being guilty of, even though you apparently don't know enough about a bomb to know what one doesn't look like either.
