It is horrible that the day supposed to be a celebration of peace was ruined by the determination to wreak havoc of monsters that still lurk in our society. These are the reasons we have implemented our preventative measures, and are the reasons we will continue to, in our quest to root out the people responsible for this senseless chaos. These should be our country's golden years, a time when our children and families should be able to enjoy a concert without fear. Instead, dozens of people were injured. It is ridiculous.

	What if those preventative measures weren't against the actual assailants? It could have been anyone. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	The people who did this are only a percentage of the people damaging the country. This incident is one of many that we must endeavour to prevent. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It is a bit ridiculous. [Robbie] You don't actually think it was Purists, do you? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Alicia _stebbins 2011-05-03 06:03 pm UTC (link)
	I do. Back in 2002, a pureblood cast the mark. Over the years, purebloods have been responsible for most of the attacks on the government, Diggory or our national treasures. They threw up the Dark Mark to terrify everyone, and it bloody worked. Who else thinks to do something like that other than purists? Were you there? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Robbie/Alicia alspinnet 2011-05-03 07:42 pm UTC (link)
	You don't have to be a Death Eater to cast the mark. Look, I'm not really one for strategy but think about it, who benefits from this? It's not Purists. No, I wasn't there. Not really a day I like to celebrate. Too many memories, you know? How about you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Robbie/Alicia _stebbins 2011-05-03 08:43 pm UTC (link)
	What do you mean? They get the terror they were seeking, the unravelling of people's hopes. Who else benefits from this? I understand. I was at that Ministry Ball, dressed up in a good suit. It was good. ~~It was distracting from thinking of the way I spent May 2nd years ago.~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Anyone who wants to get rid of Purists or Purebloods. They're the only ones who benefit. You own anything besides a suit? Sorry mate, that sound miserable. Did you at least hook up in a broom closet? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That's a spell only Death Eaters knew how to cast. And if someone did manage to find it out, how did they find it out? Someone who's not a purist or pureblood couldn't find out that information.

I have a few pieces of casualwear, some jeans, polo shirts. I did not hook up in a broom closet - one, I was needed at the ball, can't just duck off for some hanky-panky, and two, there's not enough space anyway.

Ignore it, or don't, but don't imply that I should be grateful for something which I am not, for gratitude to you or the Ministry would imply that I'm grateful for being victimized and persecuted.

If you want me to be grateful for anything, warn me when you plan to relocate me... or place laws upon marriage... or decide STs need to be euthanized. Shall you start euthanizing the other drains on our society? Those are all things I should be grateful to know.

~~How many times do I-~~

You're being melodramatic. I was saying that you should be grateful that I'm not drawing attention to your foolish words, jabs at a Ministry that already suspects you of being subversive. You're only making it worse. You can't expect to say these things and not be watched more closely.

The Ministry will do whatever is necessary to improve our country, unlike the governments of the past.

	Don't get too excited. I still think you're a nancy. But you're an admirable nancy, at least. Do you know if the Minister will be wanting us to take any action? ~~He should. This is a bunch of fuckery.~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Su _stebbins 2011-05-03 08:35 pm UTC (link)
	Well, thanks anyway. He will. We're working on more decrees that should help, but in the meantime, I think you can really only keep doing what you're doing. In the chaos, the perpetrator(s) got away. What can you do? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Robbie ausiliare 2011-05-03 09:57 pm UTC (link)
	Sure thing, princess. I can do extra drills in the training room for preparation is what. I hope these decrees include higher fucking security. I was getting tired of sitting on my ass anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Unfortunately, we have to work our way up slowly with these decrees so as not to alarm the public. It's frustrating, but I'm sure you're doing your best. Preparation is key, of course, and vigilance. These bastards are right under our noses. Perhaps liaise with the monitoring department and look into some reports? There may be something that your trained eye can pick up on that they might not be able to.
