Reads like the first episode in a new crime series, huh? 

"Moscow, Idaho:  The Bad Streets"

One day they're stealing candy from WinCo's.  Before you know it, they're
praying for a call from the governor.

And just think . . .
 
All of this heinous activity could have been thwarted simply by ensuring
that everybody had been carrying their own private arsenal.
 
Holy misguided miscreants, Batman!
 
Book em, Dano.
 
And this time, no TV.
 
Seeya round town, Moscow.

students are not very active in local elections (thank goodness!)."
