Jessica Heeringa's alleged abduction prompts Michigan elected officials, law enforcement to consider safety law for clerks

Jessica Heeringa's alleged abduction prompts Michigan elected officials, law enforcement to consider safety law for clerks | MLive.com:
"State Rep. Marcia Hovey-Wright, D-Muskegon, Sen. Goeff Hansen, R-Hart, and State Rep. Collene Lamonte, D-Montague, each said Wednesday, May 1, they are going to explore ways to get a law in place in Michigan that would protect convenience store employees.
“I’m definitely planning to explore the possible legislation to protect people working in those convenience stores,” Hovey-Wright said."

Classic moronic government (redundancy alert!) response.
1. We don't know what happened.
2. Hundreds of thousands of small businesses are open late with only one employee and employee abductions are an absolute aberration. 
3. Let's pass a very expensive (to the small businesses we so pretend to love) law that will not prevent future abductions.
4. Have their "publicists" in the media tell everyone how wonderful the politicians are.
5. If the perp turns out to be a many-times-convicted, many-times-freed felon, move on to more important issues like T-Party members who use pressure cookers for cooking!
