Are you kidding me or what with that! #8 especially, SICK People ....They must have some really strong drugs down there!

What, you never heard of man's best friend?

All true and documented. Florida is off its fucking hinges. But I love it .

... Yeah i heard of a man's best friend, to pet not to poke! JEE WHIZ Man

To pet not to poke!

LMFAO

I started a thread on another forum some time ago about Florida. For some reason I still can't figure out, so many of the weirdest news stories come from that state.

Well, there are more people in Florida than in Arizona...

Don't worry TB, I'm thinking AZ is a close second.



TIS

Hey TB, since you're in AZ, do you support Ducey or Duvall?

TB supports no tax on wine at the Trader Joe's in Prescott .

Gives a whole new meaning to man's best friend.

But once you get past the smell you've got it licked.

The best story I ever saw on the news in Miami was about a man who came down from NY to check on his vacation home. He found squatters there who were conducting quite the thriving drug trade from his living room. Additionally, they had a full grown pig living with them. The video of the drug bust was hilarious as the cops tried to capture the pig while it ran all around the house and yard.

LMAO!

Last week in Rochester NY, a white police officer was shot and killed by a black man. The officer leaves behind a wife and kids. He also was a member of the Army National Guard and served in the mid east war. Will his family get a call from the POTUS ????

Don't know yet - registered Independent. Might support Ducey's brother, Acey.

They're twins, right? They laugh alike, they walk alike,
At times they even talk alike ... Oh, wait. That's identical cousins.

This topic may need its own thread:

"(CNN) -- Arizona Cardinals backup running back Jonathan Dwyer was arrested in connection with domestic abuse allegations, Phoenix police said Wednesday night. The Cardinals deactivated Dwyer after news of the arrest, according to a news release from the team."

Thank God the Steelers got rid of him.

Oli...I think the Steelers should be thankful Harrison has retired given his previous history in today's NFL climate.

Pretty much the NFL topic would be the best place since the Ray Rice/AP ones are there.

I have been watching a lot of the episodes of the first 48 which I recorded. If you aren't familiar with this show, it follows a homicide investigation from the moment 911 is called until the conclusion. These murders take place in various cities all over the USA but many are in Miami, Birmingham Al; Houston; Dallas; and Cincinnati. What amazes me is the various sentences passed out. Many do get life, but many receive these insane sentences like the one last night where a guy with a long record got 2 years. He has twice slit the throat of his ex girlfriend. Seems like someone's life ought be worth more than 2 years especially in Texas

It's crazy. They blame it on overcrowded prisons. But with all the money we throw away in this country---mostly on wars that we have no business fighting for a bunch of ungrateful third world hellholes---you'd think we could build enough criminal housing to put violent felons behind bars for slightly longer than two years at a clip .

As Kly and DT can attest, there are a plethora of variables that can affect any prosecution. Most prosecutions in America are carried out by District Attorneys, judges, law enforcement, and juries in the Nation's 3000+ counties that allows for those variables. The quality of prosecution and defense as well as of the evidence, state laws, and the application of due process can all affect outcomes. Most prosecutions result in plea bargains which mitigates sentencing.

Of course, Oli. But it's an incontrovertible fact that the overcrowding of prisons puts at risk repeat offenders back on the streets before they should be.

Some of you are mixing apples and oranges. The apples and oranges consist of your references to county jails and state prisons. Some other apples and oranges are the mixing of juvenile due process and statutes with adult due process and statutes. Another apples and oranges mix is state funding and local government funding. There are discreet provisions of due process, statutes, and public finance that accrue to each.

Little Carmine strikes again!

The resemblance to that character was striking

Another Wonder Winner from the Land of the World's Stupidest Criminals:

A guy in a pickup gave a ride to a teenaged girl, but instead of driving her home, he turned into a forest trail and attempted to assault her. She got away and hid.

Meanwhile, this idiot couldn't find his way out of the forest trail. So what does he do? He calls the Sheriff's Department and asks for emergency assistance!! Deputy shows up, tracking the guy's cell phone, and the girl jumps out of hiding and accuses him.

Guy was arrested and couldn't make bail. Pleaded not guilty, and turned down a plea bargain at first. Was in jail for a couple of years. Finally took a plea bargain--judge sentenced him to time served in the county jail and put him on probation/counseling. A really lenient sentence around here. So, the idiot fails to make his probation visits. Goes back into jail.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner! I love your stories, TB.
