Plus c'est la même witchhunt
From Aberree,
June 1960.
Last month the grownup 'cops and robbers' played like an enemy was sprinkling Oklahoma with bombs, and one of them allegedly [hit] Enid.
More than 32000 Enidites were supposed to have died in this imaginary holocaust, and just for fun we tried to find out if we were among the casualties. However, there's a limit to how far the casualties can participate in these play-like games, and we could feel the ice two miles away.
"Who's calling?" someone asked, and remembering how unfunny the FBI can be with riders who joke with the stewardess about people carrying bombs, we tried to be anonymous.
Luckily they hung up before we could start asking how come false bomb reports get people arrested, yet when done on a mass scale they get official sanction.
Good goddamn question in 1960, even better goddamn question now.
Immediate followup, another good goddamn question.
