When everyone has a gun…no one’s in control.
It’s kind of amazing to me that every film that features a gun (let alone a full stockade of guns) is not a horror movie.

Have we simply built an immunity to ballistic violence? Has the trauma of the nightly news numbed our compassion, or have we reached peak saturation on tragedy. “Tonight on News 7, another horrible event we must ignore to maintain our sanity.”

1. Santa and His “Allergies”: Earlier this month, a 7-year-old autistic girl, Abcde Santos, went to visit Santa at The Shops at Mission Viejo, but was turned away after waiting for 30 minutes because Santa was afraid of her service dog, Pup-Cake. Even when Abcde’s family offered to send her up alone, Santa refused because of “allergies.” Later, the mall said they were having him replaced by someone “more compassionate.”
