Reminds me of an article I read in Rolling Stone recently about a man in Florida who tried to invoke "stand your ground" because some black teens wouldn't turn down their music. An argument ensued and he pulled a gun and fired at them as they tore off in their vehicle, fleeing for their lives. The excuse he gave police was "they refused to follow my orders. What was I supposed to do?" and later spun a story about them pulling guns on HIM. I don't remember if he actually got off or not.

This is a very old vintage one (from 1856), but it's a good one.

Aren't most anti-vaxers religious conservatives who would hate hippies like those parents?

If you look at it logically, cannibalism has great potential to simultaneously solve our overpopulation and food shortage problems.

I think a large number of them are ultraliberal natural medicine advocates.

You'd be AMAZED at the overlap when it comes to natural/holistic health advocates. People who disagree fundamentally on everything else agree from the bottom of their righteous hearts that all your health problems can be solved by -insert fad food here-.

This is why anti-vaccers will forever infuriate me beyond fucking reason.  They kill children.  Not even going to bother being nice, they fucking kill children.

RationalWiki refers to this phenomenon as "crank Magnetism." It's apt, as anti-vaccine woo is one of he few things you'll find in the Huffington Post as often as in WorldNetDaily.

At least anti-vaccers will usually try something when there kid is sick, though it may be ineffective leaves(or possibly effective leaves). That's more than the prayer healers do for their children. At least herbs might be a legit remedy.
History is full of maniacs, my friend, men and women of intelect, highly perceptive individuals, who's brilliant minds know neither restraint nor taboo. Such notions are the devils we must slay for the edification of pony-kind. Even if said edification means violating the rules of decency, society, and rightousness itself.
