Rumor Was Out

Most of the 3,800 cadets at
the Academy didn't even know
Pelosi, yet participated in the
silencing because The System
told them to. Rumor was out
that Pelosi was a rotten guy,
and that's all the mindless
machines needed to convict
him.

Okay, joining the
bandwagon is human nature;
call it innocence by
association. But abusing
another person (remember the
torn mail and vandalism) are
simply not forgivable, nor
excusable, especially when the
perpetrators are college-age
men.

Again, the acts of
retribution are more
reprehensible than the original
alleged violation.
