I was browsing some of the bigot sites this evening and ran across this set of pictures (rel=nofollow set on the link so they don't get a bump in ranking from the search engines). I just can't see what they think they are accomplishing. I kept thinking of that old adage, "When in danger, when doubt, run in circles, scream and shout. They must actually subscribe to that sort of philosophy. Pictures of people laying on the ground helps in what way?

Their actions remind me that the dead students at Virginia Tech were disarmed by the people that claimed to be protecting them. The people laying on the ground symbolize the people that believe submitting to evil frequently end up dead. It makes me think of "proof by vigorous assertion". They can't prove their case with numbers and logic so they have to just insist that lawmakers do things their way. They don't even bother trying to prove what they want would benefit anyone but the criminals. Just do things their way or they will lay on the ground and have people take pictures.

It doesn't seem like they are getting their way yet. Maybe if they start screaming and kicking they would get better results. It works for some two-year olds.
