Philadelphia Daily News | 12/14/2004 | Vallas, cops apologize for girl's arrest: "State Rep. John Taylor, however, said 'discretion has proven to be flawed in the past... I'd rather see them have a strict adherence to the law. It's not left up to anyone's discretion,' said the Philadelphia Republican."

The Republican party strikes again. This story combined with another recent story about the F16 pilot that accidentally shot a school further supports the perspective that Republicans have issues that they have not acknowledged. So it is ok to shoot up a school with a fifty caliber vulcan canon, but it is not ok to get caught with scissors in that school?
