This is sad, to think this is what our country is coming to.  I hope no one minds but I thought I'd get the word out a little being a part time maker myself.  Granted his work is not to my personal liking but the way they treated him is just not right.

Is anyone really suprised? Or current day media ranks right up there with prostitutes, traitors and drug  dealers.  They will do literally anything for a few lines of readership.  This is the "next" generation of jounalists, after those who used media to defeat our Armed Forces in Vietnam.  They are being allowed to sell out our troops in Iraq now, so they can get at President Bush.

:(  The thing that makes the whole thing look bad is the word WEAPON!... anything that can be use to cause harm to someone can be considered a weapon....even a news article  :x  :x  :x  :x

Yes, I don't want to turn this into a politcal discussion, but it is my opinion that Weapon Posession does not equal Intent.

The bad thing is is that while they look mean as hell, there not weapons!  there art pieces, the curves and very steel there made from keep them from being considered anything but collector's pieces.

I guess the reporters forgot a little invention known as gunpowder, deadliest weapons ever!  When I hear that line I think of nukes, chemicals and bio agents, not steel sculpture.  Good Grief, what's the world coming to? :(
