Here we go again. How many stories like this are we going to get?
Stories of senseless tennis violence. And what do you get when this happens?
Ray Moore and George Morell know. Moore was wrestled to the ground by a cop, a knee in his back while he was cuffed, apparently bleeding. Both were arrested, and spent the bulk of the day in jail.
"There were five cop cars there,'' said Donna Morell, George's wife. "Five. My husband and Ray were in different cells all day, in solitary.''
Surely, they deserved it.
"They're in their 80s, you know,'' she said.
Have I forgotten to mention that part? Morell is 85 and Moore 82.

Seriously? I mean, the guy thrown to the ground had a heart attack last year. And he was a @!$%#ing member of the @!$%#ing tennis club, for @!$%#'s sake. Bureaucratic stupidity does not come any dumber than this, and I'm hard-pressed to find examples of police stupidity that are any dumber, either.

How can you possibly object to this? I mean, they could have been terrorists! If we allow people to play tennis without proper identification, what's next? People wantonly crossing imaginary lines without papers? Loving someone the state has not approved? Perhaps even... smoking?!?
