And if your folks ever were in a union and fought for the 8 hour day, benefits, safety, minimum wage, and all the other things we take for granted, maybe you'd applaud the judge....
Who goes to their arraignment looking like this? An arrogant, uncaring, user...what she did is awful. Her punishment is light. She may have been at the "end of her rope" financially but you don't use a child like that! She looks defiant with her "attitude" shirt and all. Other people get to the end of their "rope" too but there are other ways to get assistance!
That is the thing about Pit bulls, sometimes no one sees it coming. I have read about Pits bulls that: out of the blue attacked their owner who was watching tv; showed no sign of aggression and then killed the child they had known since its birth; never tried to attack an animal before then took the door off the house going for a cat on the sidewalk. I believe that when a pit bull attacks another animal, or a person,UNPROVOKED, that pit bull is no longer safe. Period. Perhaps the owner and dog should have a forced intense training period at which time the animal can be appraised for potential danger, barring that I wouldn't want that animal in my neighborhood. The real problem is once there is a first attack...do we want a a "Second"?
Help us please take back our government...so it will never be the right of every American to have access to the care offered in EVERY OTHER MODERN COUNTRY. If you lose a job you are offered COBRA at 4 times the cost. The GOP has nothing to offer. Certainly nothing better, not any real alternative... just.rhetoric and fear. Same old Same old. The GOP and Tea Party spout a lot...offer little.
If it had been booze he provided to a bunch of 19 year olds would the case be different? NO. You have to be 21 to buy it in MN OR drink it legally, and if you provide alcohol OR drugs to minors and something happens, YOU are libel. Seems I recall recently a mom at a party got the kids juiced and even went to bed with one - everyone was so hopping mad at her. Same thing. You throw a party and have some drugs or alcohol and you get minors amped up, you are responsible. He will probably get an involuntary manslaughter charge out of it...and he probably has f-ed up his life for a long time. Bottom line - he took the risk, he bought the stuff.
If he is healthy, why not? In fact, why not harvest organs from All healthy people we put to death? Maybe a Little good could come of their deaths since (the guilty ones, anyway) didn't do good while living....
How can we look and not weep...I wish I would win the lottery just so as to help in some way!
First NPR. Then PBS. LINK TV? Any news not subsidized by feminine products and beer...but we MUST have apes with mouths like Rush Limbaugh and his ilk. NPR is one of the few sources of news with a trace of honesty left.
According to the report, little Oleander had physical evidence of LONG standing abuse. This was not a one time incident. SO unless Miss Quintero was a work 24/7, she saw it, she knew about it, (she may have Done some of it) and she did not stop it. Get off the soap opera box and face it - she is guilty if nothing else of incredible neglect and complacence. If she did not witness the Act of abuse, she sure as hell witnessed the effects!
I agree. The persons who spoke to me commented on how she acted the day they found out about the girl. She did not seem sad, did not seem shocked, just did not act the grieving stepmom at all. Her own two children do not appear to have been harmed, so I am not sure she was ever "scared". I am not sure she did not participate, nor will I ever know, I suppose. And yes, the family sure as heck should have seen something, and if they did, gotten involved! This is a convoluted and sad case all around.
