In the scope of life on a planet that’s really getting way-close to an enormous insane asylum, the general public is unaware of the infrastructure of normal.
The situation in Ferguson, Missouri, for instance, should belong in not only in another country, but in another time — maybe like the 1960s. Fifty years ago, however, cops didn’t have the armament.
Crime is an action movie with dire consequences.

I saw this story earlier this week and struck me as a heist seemingly screen-played for the big screen, and showcases the plush horror of great wealth:
Heavily armed robbers have mounted a brazen attack on the motorcade of a Saudi prince in Paris, making off with 250,000 euros in cash and stealing diplomatic papers, French police said Monday.
The spectacular robbery took place in northern Paris late on Sunday as the motorcade was making its way from a plush hotel on the Champs Elysees to an airport in Le Bourget, said police, who confirmed there were no injuries.
A gang of “between five and eight” thieves in two BMWs hijacked the first of around 10 vehicles in the convoy, driving off with the three occupants before letting them go, police said.
…
“It’s quite an unusual attack. They were obviously well-informed. It’s true that it’s quite a rare way of operating,” one police source told AFP.
The head of a national police union, Nicolas Comte, said: “We need to find out what they were looking for, the money or the documents.”
…
One source close to the investigation, who did not wish to be named, said: “If they were looking for sensitive documents, that changes the nature of the crime.”
“It will no longer be an armed robbery, but something more complicated,” the source added.
Initial results of the investigation have revealed that the robbers were obviously “aware of what they would find by attacking that specific car and not the others,” he added.
Frederic Lagache, from the Alliance police union, said: “We’re dealing with a heavily armed and determined group of criminals.”
“Once again, unfortunately, we see that these individuals had no fear of the police and were not concerned about the consequences of their actions.”
All the earmarks that Handsome Rob and his co-horts had a hand in this somehow — documents, or money?
