You know what makes a Socialist a bad Socialist? Put "National" in front of it. There was a party in Newnan this past weekend and both types, bad and good, showed up. As often happens when competing Birds Of a Feather get all BoF-ed up there was conflict. In this case, conflict resolved by the local gendarmes.
The gendarmes' hammer was a long standing law prohibiting the wearing of masks in public enacted as a reaction (as all too many are) to Klan activities, that even long ago it was politically correct to quash. In this case it was the Good Socialists wearing masks and getting arrested rather than the Bad National Socialists.
And boy, were the Good Socialists pissed.
Turns out Good Socialists don't think that laws, particularly laws they don't like, should ever apply to them. In this case since the law was expressly adopted as a reaction to Bad National Socialists the Good Socialists presumed there would be targeted application of this prohibition and that it would only apply to the Bad Guys. Turns out the constitution gets in the way of that and application was applied uniformly to all who actually violated the law. Which happened to be exclusively Good Socialists. Apparently there is something horribly wrong with a legal system that treats everyone equally without consideration for a particular group's self-righteousness.
