Zero Tolerance = Zero Common Sense
February 20,2005
Bill Percy was surprised to see Spectrum High School’s principal, his son’s councillor, Mike Finster and John Perona from Kitsap Mental Health standing at his front door. What really surprised him and finally infuriated him was that they were there to collect his son, 16 year old, Danny. John Perona explained that he had the authority to take him without his parent’s permission or for that matter Danny’s permission. His crime? Danny had the audacity to draw stick figures shooting at each other in an art class that Mike Finster had talked him into attending. Oh. Yes. Danny also had an interest in firearms and maybe becoming a gunsmith when he finishes school.
John Perona went on to compare Danny to the killers at Columbine even though Danny has never been in any trouble and Mr. Perona has no medical training. He claimed that Danny had no “right” to draw the pictures and that they proved he was mentally ill. The pictures had been drawn three months ago.
Danny was forced to spend two days at a Kitsap Mental Health Facility before they realized that the whole situation was a farce and that Danny had nothing wrong with him.
Danny’s dad has talked to several of his representatives in the school district but has received no real answers on how his son was forced into a mental health facility against his will with no due process.
I am writing this article in the hopes that if enough parents become incensed at this total disregard for the rights of innocents to make it stop. It has become increasingly obvious that common sense is in short supply with any of these little “napoleons” who inhabit our institutions. I know there is one young man who now realizes that at any time and anywhere someone can come to the front door and take him away for whatever reason they dream up. People we have to make them stop this insanity!

The Elites don't fear the tall nails, government possesses both the will and the means to crush those folks. What the Elites do fear (or should fear) are the quiet men and women, with low profiles, hard hearts, long memories, and detailed target folders for action as they choose.
