about that 16-year-old who was allegedly tortured and kept by a couple in Tracy, CA. One of the counts against them is "aggravated mayhem". Just what is aggravated mayhem, and how is that different from everyday, ordinary mayhem?
Enough already. It's my fault! Get over it!
That'll be $10, please.

Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

I have to wonder when the last time someone was charged with simple mayhem rather than aggravated.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
