In 1974, a distraught teenager who’d been previously ejected from Wanaque Judge Joseph Crescente’s courtroom fired a gun from the street into the building, killing the 71-year-old judge and shocking the 50 people in the courtroom. State Sen. Gerry Cardinale (R-Cresskill) said he wants to make sure that never happens again. He said given today’s “emotionally charged” legal and political scenes, it’s time to arm judges and other public officials.

Please explain to the class how, given the way this shooting took place, this judge would not have been killed had he been carrying.
You could cut the irony with a knife. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
