Fiction Isn't Fair: Difference between revisions

Line 118:
*** Certain government agencies tend to frown on it, though.
** On the other hand, there didn't seem to be anyone obstructing the giant public gay orgy used to protest the future immigrants. Those guys must have been violating at least a couple of indecency laws.
*** Unless actual violence or destruction of property is going on, police departments occasionally develop selective blindness when it comes to large, excitable crowds of people engaging in behavior that is technically illegal. For example, while walking down the streets of Chicago puffing on a marijuana joint is normally a good way to get acquainted with the county lockup, whenever they had a Grateful Dead concert around here virtually the entire audience would be full of tens of thousands of people puffing away -- and the Chicago PD, who were working crowd control, would repeatedly fail to notice anything. The reason, of course, is that trying to arrest an entire large crowd that isn't already in the process of rioting is a great way to ''start'' a riot, and the cops would rather not have the grief.
* So why hasn't Mr. Crocker of ''[[The Fairly Odd Parents]]'' been fired? Literally everyone in his class (except for AJ) is failing, he's thought to be mentally insane by pretty much everyone that doesn't have fairies (and even those that do still think he has issues), and he's known to be out right abusive to his students (when March 15, the anniversary of the worst day of his life, rolls around you run). Also despite all of this, it's implied that he's got the highest salary he can get (it was used as a bit of a [[Hand Wave]] to explain why he could afford his fairy hunting gear, but still!).
** Wait, [[Julius Caesar|March 15?]]
