"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
After the Apocalypse, Try Reason!
"Eighty-nine-year-old religious nut Harold Camping (pictured below) prophesized that the world would end on May 21, 2011, at 6:00 p.m. local time. A woman who believed him wanted to get a jump on Armageddon and avoid the horrors of fire and brimstone. So she slit her 11- and 14-year-old daughters’ throats with a box cutter and then slit her own."

From the article: "Camping, sadly, also survives and is free to cause the world more grief."
So, Camping should be killed? Or jailed?
It's not Camping causing the problem. It's idiots who pay attention to him. There is no way to "fix" this problem, certainly not via state action nor assassination or other such violence. The thing to do is stop worrying about it. Let idiots suffer the consequences of their poor choices. If innocents also get caught up in that, oh well. Life is filled with hazards, even parents can be hazards.
