re: #60 Mentis Fugit

Gotta disagree. Mitt and his yuk-yuk-yuk fratboy buddies thinking it’s a great lark to scare the shit out of a couple of young women say exactly the same thing about him as the latter incident.
The provenance of the uniform is a red herring, saying “pay no attention to the moral character of the man behind the curtain.”

Although they are both stupid, they aren’t the same in severity. One is physical violence that caused the victim lasting emotional pain, the other was a temporary fright the victim laughed about later.
