On that basis alone, they and schools like them have more than their share of troubled and trouble-making kids.

Most 14 year olds aren't sophisticated enough to obtain a credible fake ID. If she had one, her employer probably obtained it for her.

As sick as it is, there's a lot of people out there who don't see anything wrong with using/viewing a child as a sex object.

I know a couple of people with Pitbulls and they are very sweet, loyal dogs. Definitely muscular and need obedience training as any large, strong dog does, but dogs that attack are trained to behave that way, either on purpose or through abuse/neglect.

How is this a crime?

What sort of sick person goes around smelling the tissues in the trash can and examining what type of fluid might be on them?

You maybe...MAYBE hear about something like this in the burbs once a year.

Sat, 17 Apr 2010 01:29:20 +0000 http://www.woodtv.com/dpp/news/local/kent_county/multi-vehicle-crash-on-M-6#IDComment68455841 http://www.woodtv.com/dpp/news/local/grand_rapids/inmate-dies-at-hospital#IDComment68403613 Right...and we're supposed to believe he couldn't tell the difference between a 12 year old child barely out of puberty and a young woman old enough to give consent (16 in Michigan). The 'she lied about her age' defense (so says the statutory rapist/child molester, I bet) just doesn't fly here. Guess we can see where he kept his brains...behind his zipper...we have a 20 something [supposed to be] young man having sex with a child 10 years his junior. Most people only get three strikes before they're out...this guy got 4. Seems he used up more than his share of chances.

People seem to view speed limits more as 'speed suggestions' these days. With all these road rage incidents happening, I'm starting to wonder if psych evals need to be part of being issued a driver's license; catch these people who are likely to use their vehicle as a weapon before they do.

As cold as this sounds, at least they wouldn't be involving others in the accident and the injuries, if any, would be limited.

Just because a person has died does not make them immune to comment on the legacy their choices and behavior left behind them.
