    I must be incredibly jaded, because this is kinda funny. A terrible, stupid idea, sure, but reading about it is a bit funny.

        The Supreme Court has ruled that polie are under no obligation to prevent anyone from breaking any law. Their only responsibility is to enforce the law once it has been broken and apprehend the criminal. A cop can literally stand and watch you stab someone a hundred times while he eats a box of donuts and sips at his coffee, as long as he arrests him when he’s done, he has fulfilled his duty and is not subject to any legal recourse for not preventing the death.

    One in 50 Americans are born on the autism scale. Did you know that in Florida it’s one out of 5?

      Care to explain a what you mean by this? Nothing in the article suggest that the kid has autism. Unless it’s that you think autism is something to joke about- which is in VERY poor taste.

        There’s not. We just use their politicians as a sample and extrapolate from there. /s
