This first article is just a sad observation on the state our society has come to.  Once upon a time it was clear that there was a difference between a toy gun and a real gun, or a toy knife and a real knife.  Now, it's all the same.  I can only imagine the damage that will be done to this little boy because of overreacting in the name of vigilance as opposed to any conceivable damage that he did to anyone else.  What are we being vigilant for, anyways?  And if we are not drawing any intelligent distinctions, what use is vigilance in the first place?
