Unbelievable. What's the heck is wrong with people these days?
""It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at a Short Notice on any very interesting Emergency." - George Washington. Letter to Alexander Hamilton, Friday, May 02, 1783

It's Bush's fault.....and the guns.....don't forget the guns. 
"I expect perdition, I always have. I keep this building at my back, and several guns handy, in case perdition arrives in a form that's susceptible to bullets. I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

"When it comes to the enemy, just because they ain't pullin' a trigger, doesn't mean they ain't totin' ammo for those that are."~PegLeg

When I started this thread, I did so because I thought the story I linked to was unique. Now I'm finding out these seem to be weekly, if not daily occurrences all over the country. What is wrong with people indeed!

I know what  you mean....but maybe we need a "study".

Might it be that these things happened just as often in the past, but we never heard about all the slimy stories in every back woods village in the nation.

It might be that this type of even is making it into big NEWS rooms more often than in the past....and that the NEWS reporting has more of a propensity to report this ugliness than before....and that might be because the audience has more of a propensity to want such stories.

It's like soft boiled eggs and rare steaks....many ate them and the dangers were know but they were not reported until "everyone" heard about it and everyone also became very much more interested.
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
—Patrick Henry

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster

Bill, On the NRA website Cam Edwards used to have a 3 hour show daily .
One night he reported what he called, "The deal of the day" it was a news story about a ex convict with a lengthy criminal record who on being convicted of a murder, was sentenced to.......
Probation.
He thought it was unusual enough that he went looking.
"Deal of the Day" became a nightly feature, every night, career violent criminals committing awful crimes, rape, murder, aggravated assault, and being sentenced to .....
Probation, time served, community service, sometimes just a stern lecture.
People are animals.
And not particular likable animals at that.
That is why America's Constitution, with its rules and defined Powers and Rights lead America to the moon and Disney world,  while European "Humanism" lead to Dachau and the Gulag.

It comes on in 3 minutes!!
The "Deal of the Day" is usually towards the beginning of the third hour..

Thanks Santa, I haven't watched in years so I didn't know if he still did it.
And I don't have time for it tonight since I'm trying to get caught up on PJTV.
By the way, Bill Whittles "Afterburner" segments are available on You tube if PJTV has locked you out of one you want to see.

It's probably a good thing you "can't make this stuff up".
You'd have to be a very messed up SOB to do it.
