Shriners to be Arrested for Parades?

Edmonton Journal reports that:

"Parades should be classed as a nuisance," wrote Will Rogers, "and participants should be subject to a term in prison."

This is excessively uncharitable. It's frightening to imagine a bunch of lovely Shriners ripped from their tiny motorbikes and garden tractors, Tasered, and thrown in the back of a white police van. Think of the children!
