The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Let's not forget Prohibition, and how the good intentions of the movement resulted in an amendment to the constitution which in turn, created one of the most violent criminal episodes in American History.

Well meaning busybodies throughout the country, not just San Antonio, are repeating a historical mistake through ignorance of what is a relatively recent past event.

“Well meaning busybodies throughout the country, not just San Antonio, are repeating a historical mistake through ignorance of what is a relatively recent past event.”

I would argue that the busybodies are not ignorant of history, instead they are indifferent to the innevitable results of their desires. As long as they get to control others, they don’t care about the collateral damage to our Republic.
