Khadr I say it?

The Toronto Star is reporting on the latest scandal/Khadr son to return home to Toronto from greener pastures. I just don’t care how he was treated or mistreated by his Pakistani jailers nor do I care if any Canadian government officials even knew about any alleged mistreatment. The old outrage meter on my ticker just doesn’t move on that one, but what does make it move, and leaves a distinctly queasy feeling in my gut - is knowing that my Tribe are all now of an age where they frequently go places on public transit by themselves.

Mark me down as a terrible person but I just don’t feel safe with any member of that family sharing a subway car, a bus, or even the sidewalk with my family.
