    What to do when you witness domestic violence?

    Ah... yes. I'm sorry I didn't catch it the first time... I should have! :D And I agree so totally. Their friends, both male and female, were talking about how if a man would have done that to a woman, he'd be doing jail time. Not sure why she got off with nothing more than some anger...

    What to do when you witness domestic violence?

    Why did she throw something? Because... she was mad? They were arguing. Not sure why people throw things, break things, punch things, etc. because I don't do it, but I suppose simply because she was mad. I don't understand what you mean about "broken story." Wulfman asked if anyone knew a...

    What to do when you witness domestic violence?

    Yes, absolutely, Profit5500... it was bad, yes, and if I recall correctly (it was a few years ago) there were anger management classes involved for her. Worst part is that their little girl saw it and kept looking at her dad's head for "more blood" for a long time after that.

    Can I get arrested if I ask a cop "Do you want some pot?"

    Legally... I have no idea. Morally, I'd haul his sorry carcass in for wasting my time on foolishness that I could have been using to do something else that was serious. See here's what I'd use... I would fill out a report saying that he pulled the cooking pot out AFTER I said I don't want pot...

    Robin Williams Dead in Apparent Suicide

    I think this has affected nearly everyone on some level. Even people who never saw Robin's work may be touched on other levels, such as if they or a family member are suffering from depression or silent addictions. So many bloggers are talking about it, but I have to admit that I'm a little...

    What to do when you witness domestic violence?

    Yep, bashed his head with a household appliance while standing on the balcony and pitching it over at him. Never even saw it coming. He ended up in ER and then a hospital admission and she got away without more than a little questioning and saying she didn't know he was down there... although...

    Why do cops tailgate speeding drivers to "provoke" them to speed more?

    Uh... you can't tell which unmarked cars are police? There *are* ways to tell, ya know. Maybe it's not the same in your country? I'm stubborn enough that if someone tries to make me go faster, I'll slow down. Don't like being pushed around... nope, not at all.

    Cops shoot and kill man holding a toy gun in Walmart

    Yes, that's my opinion. If that gun had been real, we'd be looking at another mass murder now wouldn't we? Just because... why? Police "assumed" that he wasn't going to shoot? Had to wait until he actually killed someone before doing something about it? Idealistic things may be nice...

    What's wrong with people

    I just couldn't resist reading a thread with a title like this because I've *so* often wondered the same thing. :rolleyes: Wish I could answer the question, but it's an epidemic and I have no answer. Could anyone truly think that the result would be "well, since you're being so nasty, I'll...

    Cops shoot and kill man holding a toy gun in Walmart

    I read something you said wrong and have to edit what I'm saying. :-) But anyhow, why would "radical changes" be needed? The dude was waving a toy gun around and not putting it down when police were yelling for him to put it down. You'd prefer waiting until a child came around the corner to...

    Why do cops tailgate speeding drivers to "provoke" them to speed more?

    Don't forget to go under the speed limit, too, Shawn... oh, and turn off onto roads and driveways that no one ever uses. That'll be a sure way to be pulled over. :) No, officers are not scary... unless someone has a reason to not want to be anywhere near them... those people stick out like a...

    Why do cops tailgate speeding drivers to "provoke" them to speed more?

    Nah, I don't really think it happens here in the U.S. very much. It would make no sense to force someone to drive faster to "get more ticket money" because if they want more ticket money, they'll just wait for someone going faster and stop *them!!* I'd say it's more like drivers just think...

    Cops shoot and kill man holding a toy gun in Walmart

    Wow... there seems to be so much more going on here than those first breaking news reports knew. First of all... the "toy" wasn't in any packaging. Why would he have opened it in the store and started carrying it around? His girlfriend has said he didn't have it when they went into the...

    Buying beer

    "It's not like alcohol will kill you?!" Well, I'm afraid any of us who have buried someone close to us because some 18 year old thinking they "knew when to stop" plowed head first into a car of innocents including children and wiping out whole families would disagree with that assessment...

    Oregon State Police Video Captures Fatal Freeway Shooting

    Yes. Three children were in the car with him. I have a link, but I suspect I haven't been here long enough to post it. I'll try here... but if it doesn't post, google the guy's name from the first post in this thread. Oregon Highway Shootout Ends With Death Of Gunman John Van Allen (VIDEO)

    Oregon State Police Video Captures Fatal Freeway Shooting

    Yes... good thing for sure. Only... I also read that he had his children in the car. This goes beyond any explanation anyone could have about things like this happening. His KIDS saw him get out and shoot a police officer and then die in front of them. No way they'll not be scarred for...

    Large Search for Jenise Wright in WA

    Sad and tragic update to this story. Jenise's body was found yesterday and an autopsy is going to be done today. The police department is saying that it wasn't an accident and that it will definitely be a criminal investigation. I am so upset to know that parents *anywhere* under any...

    Oregon State Police Video Captures Fatal Freeway Shooting

    Oh thank you, ItsZiggy! I was beginning to think I was seeing things (or in this case, NOT seeing things that were there.) In the clip I saw (and apparently you, too) there was no way to know whether the officer had his gun drawn, but I'd put a bet on 98% he did. He's not just going to stand...

    School asks officer not to wear uniform or sidearm while picking up daughter

    This happened last October... nearly a year ago. Any word on whether or not the school ever backed down on such a ludicrous request? I've looked and can't find an update. I hope the backlash was swift!

    Large Search for Jenise Wright in WA

    I agree that finding a child missing in the morning and assuming she "went outside to play" and not reporting it until dinnertime is... well, there's just no words for it... There's more background coming out now... primarily about the dad's past police record. I won't say more to be fair...
