LEWISTON, N.Y. (WIVB) — A 54-year-old woman was rescued from the lower Niagara River on Sunday morning despite refusing Coast Guard help and threatening to kill anyone who approached her, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Around 4:30 a.m. the Coast Guard and several agencies responded to a report of a woman on a homemade raft in the river.

Authorities say Border Patrol Agents “maneuvered to initiate a rescue due to the freezing water and air temperatures after they discovered the woman located only 50 yards from the shore.” The woman, a U.S. citizen who was not named, refused to return to shore despite numerous requests.

Cops: Naked Man Said He Was Doing "Walk Of Shame"

Perp claimed 1 AM stroll was penance for cheating on wife
It is kind of sad though. The poor guy ended being arrested and maybe even slightly injured in the process. I'm not faulting anyone here. It's just disturbing to think that this is what society has "evolved" into. I mean wouldn't it be great if instead of this story we could read something more like "Cops take stroll with man on his Walk of Shame"? People just don't seem to know how to interact anymore. What a shame...

Too many cameras today in a zero tolerance society.

Doing a 'favor' for some poor guy instead of strictly following the letter of the law gets you fired as a cop.

Watching TV yesterday. Commercial for Dairy Queen came on. Thought 'maybe I should launch a class action suit because the name "Queen" is offensive to some.' What do you think? Should we find every sort of thing we can become intolerant towards?

It hasnt even reached a peak yet. What is sad is that people offended and seeking special treatment have no idea where this is leading. Those who do know where this is going have no idea how to stop it.

I give you the Captains Underpants story

Sit back and admit it. There is no way that I can make everybody happy... So it's their problem, not mine. So screw em!
I think there are so many people now wondering about struggling with self-acceptance and it is sad, really sad. It is sad because to love and accept others you must first learn to love and accept yourself. What kind of future lies ahead?
