The world we live in these days is… well, stuff happens.

A few years ago an (unkilted) friend of mine was caught up in a bar fight. He wasn’t even one of the principals. He just got swept into the free-for-all.

When the police searched him and found his pocket knife they added a concealed weapon charge to the disorderly conduct charge. That little extra got him suspended without pay from his employment.

He got it all sorted out eventually after some considerable time and expense.

I’m not saying anything about the right or wrong of it, I’m just saying that you have to think twice (or thrice) these days.
