White kids can wave around real guns if they want, whereas black kids will be shot even if they are just using a cell phone without a gun shaped case. A white kid just shot up a church and the cops took him to Burger King afterwards. Thus it's sort of a pointless restriction. I'm surprised Stuart Smalley isn't the pol behind the bill. This sort of thing seems like the reason he gets up in the morning.
I consider a phone case shaped like a real gun to be an effective Darwin test, but I have no constitutional problem with them being banned at the state level. It does take a special kind of stupid to buy one of these in our current law enforcement environment though.

They didn't "take him to Burger King" and I think you know that. Letting him starve in custody would set a very bad precedent that I'm sure you would have no interest in being on the wrong end of, regardless of the instant gratification his suffering would give you in the short term.
I don't necessarily think it should be illegal, but if something happens to you while you're carrying it because a cop mistakes it for a gun, I won't feel bad for you. How about we just use our brains on this one?

You are right, I guess I should have said they went out and picked up Burger King for him

It sounds like you think they wouldn't have done the same had he been black. Do you have evidence of this?
