Bad, bad, bad, bad precedent. This country just continues to bury itself with its' judicial system. This is why, in part, judges need to be voted in and, especially, out.

Summary of the situation. 2 boys, 10 and 11. One dated this girl. Girl made fun of him and his friends. Therefore he planned on stabbing her to death with a 3 1/4 inch knife, they also stole a semi automatic gun. The other boy was going to hide and ambush the 1st responders with the gun. They also planned on killing 6 other students by luring them away from the school 1 by 1.

I can't understand the mindset of a 21 yr old man let another man tell him to get butt naked outside in public and let this man whoop him with a belt over a $20 debt. That wouldn't be happening. You would have to kill me before I let that BS happen.

Ok, this line in that story just... baffles me:

Quote:

But, said the report, "the family did not consider that Coke was harmful due to the fact of it having no warning signs."

Let's see... they knew she would get headaches, the shakes, withdrawal symptoms because of this addiction. But, they did not know it was bad for her?

I don't mean to sound callous - it's obviously a shame that someone died. But man - wouldn't common sense say that 2.6 gallons a day of, well, almost anything is bad for you? Especially when her "rotted teeth had to be removed" and her "liver was swollen"?

This world needs a big, giant injection of common sense in the worst way. Man...

*Edit: Please don't interpret this as me blaming the family for her death because they didn't stop her addiction. I understand that addictions are powerful things. It's just the wording of that quote that gets me.

We've all been there on the plane with a crying baby, but who the **** slaps a baby to try and shut it up?

Quote:

The child's mother, 33-year-old Jessica Bennett, of Minneapolis, told authorities the boy was crying as the plane came in for landing. Bennett says Hundley was sitting next to her and slapped the boy in his face, causing a scratch under his right eye. She said Hundley used a racial epithet while demanding her to quiet the boy — who began crying louder after Hundley slapped him.

Adding the racial epithet in there makes it a hate crime too. Automatic felony, right? Hope that POS ends up in jail.
