Kindergartens are said to be found on both sides of the house belonging to Hlas MP Peter Náhlik in Bratislava. They must be completely disarmed, otherwise it is absolutely scary to think what could happen.
Children could aim slingshots and water pistols at the house the future president Peter Pellegrini (Hlas) has nothing to do with (although he has admitted to using it), giving the security council at least a reason to convene. It could also order the arrest of preschoolers.
It seems that the man who shot PM and Smer party leader Robert Fico in mid-May also attacked the last vestiges of sanity of part of the ruling coalition.
They called this “event” from May 30 an incident: cameras captured a car, from the side window of which a six-year-old boy in a balaclava was leaning out, holding a toy gun in his hand.

On May 31, Interior Minister Matúš Šutaj Eštok (Hlas) gave a lecture about the “incident” at his press conference. At the beginning of this week, Labour, Social Affairs and Family Minister Erik Tomáš (Hlas) followed his lead. The first one was not surprising.
The viewer may think that if the authorities really act against six-year-old children with a toy gun, they should tactfully keep it to themselves so that citizens don’t feel like they are in a crazy house.
