Big deal, you see the same thing here during the Christmas shopping season at WalMart! :laughing:
(I say that in jest, but there's some sad truth to that too... I think it was just last year there was a freakin' shoot-out in a WalMart)
On Black Friday, at around 4 A.M., some of those scary Walmart shoppers are going to be wielding flashlights. Some may even be Canadian. Don't take your eyes off the ones with big Maglites or lights with crenelated bezels. They are just as dangerous as the guy wearing dark glasses and holding a white cane. Anyone who is carrying something that could potentially hit you is a threat to your life, whether they can see you or not, at least according to the mainstream media. Watch out for the ones shopping for hockey sticks and baseball bats. It could get ugly. Stay away from the front of the line at opening, and if you get trampled, watch out for those wearing shoes with cleats or high heels. You'll get tenderized as well as trampled. And watch out for the innocent looking toddlers. They're more dangerous than flashlights and blind people wielding sticks combined. Their screams can destroy your eardrums if they don't get what they want. Soon, there will be a law to require a safety (muzzle, duct tape, silencer) over their mouths for the good of society, just like with guns. Until more laws are passed to protect us from these violent threats such as flashlights, blind people, babies, and shoes, I suggest you approach anywhere that people congregate wearing some sort of protection. For starters, wear a football helmet and wrap yourself in bubble wrap.
Sarcasm mode off.
Seriously, if anyone is afraid of something like flashlights, they need to see a psychiatrist. Anyone who thinks that everyone should be protected to the extent that everything potentially harmful should be outlawed, and has the power to make laws, needs a serious wake up call by being hit with a rock. Just try to "protect" people from and regulate rocks. I'd be more worried about the people with an irrational fear of Canadians with flashlights than the Canadians with flashlights. Those are the people that need to be medicated.
