WTFriday: Armed and Dangerous

The university sent out a HOYAlert today warning of a potential gunman at the Law Center.  The threat made HuffPo.  And nobody here gave a crap.

On one level, I get it.  Someone exercising their 2nd Amendment rights should not be newsworthy.  (Unless that person is a psycho.  But most of us aren't psychos, so go brush your mullet and rip the sleeves off your shirt because this is America and that's what we do.)

But the reaction to this event is very telling about Georgetown, especially compared to how we react to the mundane.  What's mundane for us, honestly, is cupcakes.

New cupcake places opens up downtown.  All of us:  "CUPCAKE WARZZ!  My overpriced sugarbomb is better than yours!  Let me shoot a death ray of icing out my eyeballs 'cause shizz goin down!!!!1!!  Also, DIABEETUS."

Armed gunman on the law campus.  All of us:  "Eh...okay."

These are the days I think DC is the McDonalds of American cities.  'Cause hey, it makes gross amounts of money, you might see two cross-dressers get into a fight, cops are everywhere, and there's a huge bureaucracy behind it.  And I'm lovin' it.

Cheesy, I know.
