Leave it to the National Review to publish the single worst, dumbest, meanest, most cancerous possible "opinion" article on the murder of 20 young children and seven other people a half-week ago. No really, class effing act, guys. It's not quite the call for more schoolyard George Zimmermans that the Tea Party Nation crackpots came up with, but let's just take a look at what passes for Serious Actual Conservative Thought on the whole mass murder of elementary school children business. Presenting your hostess in this episode of retch-inducing victim blaming, Charlotte Allen:There was not a single adult male on the school premises when the shooting occurred. In this school of 450 students, a sizeable number of whom were undoubtedly 11- and 12-year-old boys (it was a K'6 school), all the personnel ' the teachers, the principal, the assistant principal, the school psychologist, the 'reading specialist' ' were female. There didn't even seem to be a male janitor to heave his bucket at Adam Lanza's knees. Women and small children are sitting ducks for mass-murderers.Stupid women and children, why are you being women and children? You're practically asking for it. Oh, except that (1) there was a male adult there, the school is a K-4 school so there were no fifth or sixth grade boys to man up an hurl themselves at the insane AR-15 armed killer, and the male adult that was there was, in fact, the goddamn janitor, so every part of the stupid premise presented here is factually damn wrong, as could have been deduced if anyone on the National Review staff bothered to look it the hell up already.
But no matter, the worst person ever here is on a roll!
