It is not normal for people from the country, from rural areas, to slaughter their inconvenient animals in a gravel pit. That is all. People who do that should be monitored by a mental health professional, obviously. Goes without saying they shouldn't be making any decisions for anybody.

Barricading the doors is not merely annoying - it can't be allowed and prevents people who don't want to be there from getting away. They just did this at Emory as well, not only when they were trying to get in the doors the campus security was blocking, but when protesters chanting "from the r...
