I haven't heard if there are going to be any kind of charges or anything (I assume not.) But my main question is the same as yours... it was an *UZI* not a little handgun or anything. 9 years old... sometimes you just have to wonder what people are thinking. Self protection is one thing...

I've never been arrested, no. And I sure hope I can always keep it that way! :)

I was intending to do a follow-up on this story today, but I can't find anything more about it. I can get the homeless man's name, but because of the thing on not naming juveniles in these cases, I can only get "12 year old boy" and can't find an update. Which brings me to a question... do...

Yes, I read this, too... that the statement about killing people was because he was former military and he wasn't talking about after becoming an officer. But I can't see that it makes a difference because... well, like you said, @Profit5500 , it makes no sense to think it would be a good idea...

I just read a report about this and it was a whole lot more than saying people should kill each other, too. He bashed groups and people that you just don't bash in public when you're in a position of authority or semi-authority. It was creepy... and he said he has killed people. Only he's...

I think that if there's a high possibility of the person who's running hurting other drivers or pedestrians, chases are often called off. (That goes for high speed chases when they get dangerous as well.) It always amazes me wondering why those people trying to get away don't realize that...

But people *DO* hide drugs... uh... "there." They do it all the time. Police brutality would have had the POLICE searching that "cavity", don't you think?! I mean come ON! They took him to the hospital to have it done and didn't do the search themselves. Drug users HIDE their drugs...

Well now, if you're in the U.S. I guess the thing that would first prevent it is if you're under 21, eh? :) Other than that, and assuming you're over 21, you could surely have your drink on your own property... but "on the street" can call public intoxication charges into play. And in a car...

Yes, I agree... but I think they need to realize that the answers may do a lot more damage than they would do good. They're probably thinking of their "dear little boy" who would never do anything like he was accused of... but to actually see him doing it would be so psychologically damaging...

I think my neighbor would dispute this statement. She's 98 or 99 and has said that there aren't too many people older than she is. :D Oldest person in church, oldest person in town, most likely one of the oldest in the county and/or state!

To be philosophical for a minute here, the first thing that came to my mind was that "old" is when someone gives up trying to learn new things and stay active. When the mind is no longer active and we don't want to learn and try new things... well then we're old no matter our physical age. I...

I take supplements when I remember... problem is that I forget often. I know it's especially important when working out and eating less, but I still forget. :( What I take on the days I think of it is a multi, calcium, and sometimes a fish oil.

I was trying to think of a name that my law enforcement neighbor used for the dog he was training a few years ago, and I just couldn't remember... *BUT* I remembered this morning. The dog was named Rookie and shorted to "Rook." I always thought that was cute considering it was a police K9.

:D True things on the Internet? Hmmm.... I have to say that I've been on the Internet for around 17 years now, and there is so much spin and misinformation and purposely incitement trash that I don't believe ANY of it any longer. If you thought CNN and Fox spin news to their own way of...

Ferguson PD has three black officers, yes. I'd have to guess that they have determined it's best not to put them into the spotlight due to their own safety and the safety of their families at this time.

Update to this one... the family is now "demanding" the store video be released to the public. That, of course, can't happen while the investigation is going on. I'm not sure why they want to torture themselves with seeing their son die... if all the witnesses say he was waving the gun and...

Since I started this thread, I guess it would be a good idea to bring closure to it... and it is a very sad closure. A short time after Jenise's body was found, a teen boy that lived very close to the family was arrested for her murder. It's an extremely sad case on more than one level. He...

All true... good post. One thing I'm not sure about though... that there's not "solid proof." Just about everywhere has surveillance cameras now, so that's the proof of buying. Proof of giving it to minors would just take one of those minors with a smart phone they all have... snap a pic of...

Most (if not all) of this conversation has been about (1) buying beer for minors which is obviously illegal, and (2) a statement that drinking "won't kill you." I didn't see anything about what the drinking age should be, or lowering it, etc.

First thing that came to mind was "Sarge." :o
