Pair arrested after making flour trail through parking lot.
More evidence (in addition to the whole Mooninite scare) that America is in danger of becoming one of THOSE countries. You know, the kind of country where stupid shit like this happens. And, once again, a city official releases another disturbingly paranoid/idiotic statement. This time it's the aptly-named Mayoral spokeswoman Jessica Mayorga, who utters this as she announces plans to seek restitution from the "terrorists":
"You see powder connected by arrows and chalk, you never know...It could be a terrorist, it could be something more serious. We're thankful it wasn't, but there were a lot of resources that went into figuring that out."
A lot of resources? Like what, the daft police officer wasting his breath by asking "Is this flour?" How many millions did the city spend in cracking this case? For fuck's sake, the guy biked back to IKEA once he heard his flour trail was stirring up the local morons and told them all it was only flour. Any damages, financial or emotional, can hardly be blamed on he and his accomplices.
And what does Mayorga mean by her cryptic suggestion that flour could be evidence of "something more serious" than a terrorist? Wouldn't a flour-armed Al Qaeda be bad enough? Could she be suggesting a more ancient evil, something inhuman, something Sumerian perhaps, something that has been lying dormant since the dawn of man, waiting for the right time to rise up and invoke the wrath of the Old Ones by way of flour?? The WHITE DEATH??
