Yes send him to stand guard in the city to prevent drug dealers approaching people.

Sigh! If only it was that easy.

Now Im into growing plants recently, some hudge tomato plants, morning glory, cornflower, sunflower, strawberry, catnip, and cactus plants too using USA seeds.

I don't know if you remember this post from 2 years ago, but now they are about ready to be planted.
Not a hobby for an old man.
If they ever bloom I'll mail you some seeds.

PORTLAND, OR (KPTV) -

A man with a knife climbed onto the roof of a TriMet bus and refused to come down Saturday night, according to Portland Police.

Can I have that with nuts on the top?

 

I'll bet it wasn't 270,000 as reported.

Well, I'll be darned.

Follow the money ... Every last cent.

Then do the same for the Clinton foundation.

OK, if you want to go there, do the same with the Clinton foundation and the Donald J. Trump foundation. You won't like or report the final answer as to which is doing more.

The Warmbiers were told that he had come down with a case of botulism soon after his trial – which lasted only one hour – and had been given a sleeping pill, from which he never woke up.

What a horrible, God awful tragedy...

Completely self-inflicted tragedy on the students part. His first mistake was visiting North Korea.

Yes... but he's just a kid! ... it's like blaming a child for getting bit by a snake!

We were all once 'just a kid' but this guy (University of Virgina student) absolutely did something a 6 yo knows not to do, steal in a bad mans house.
I feel sympathy for the guy but not empathy. If you juggle lit sticks of dynamite it's on you if things go bad.

The Department of State strongly warns U.S. citizens not to travel to North Korea/the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK). The Department of State strongly warns U.S. citizens not to travel to North Korea/the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK). U.S. citizens in the DPRK are at serious risk of arrest and long-term detention under North Korea’s system of law enforcement. This system imposes unduly harsh sentences for actions that would not be considered crimes in the United States and threatens U.S. citizen detainees with being treated in accordance with “wartime law of the DPRK.” Since the United States does not maintain diplomatic or consular relations with North Korea, the U.S. government has no means to provide normal consular services to U.S. citizens in North Korea. This notice updates the number of U.S. citizens who have been detained in North Korea and replaces the Travel Warning dated February 7, 2017.

At least 16 U.S. citizens have been detained in North Korea in the past ten years. North Korean authorities have detained those who traveled independently and those who were part of organized tours. Being a member of a group tour or using a tour guide will not prevent North Korean authorities from detaining or arresting you. Efforts by private tour operators to prevent or resolve past detentions of U.S. citizens in the DPRK have not been successful.

I know wise six year-olds... and immature thirty year-olds... call me a softie if you like... it's still the case of an unwise kid doing something stupid...

I don't mean to take this to a reducto absurdum extreme... but we were all "just babies" once too... God help us when we slip and do something stupid... rational or not...

 

FLASH......big fire in London.

Yes, sympathy, not empathy for these stupid kids.

I've been to Singapore and it was explained to us exactly what would happen if we broke the laws of that country.

 

sympathy, not empathy

I know the difference between them, nsa... but you have to at least acknowledge injustice when you see it...
And please, don't tell me this has nothing to do with justice... 'cause it does

 

Some visit other countries and think they all honor the American Constitution and your constitutional rights. You can't cross country borders like you do state borders and think the Constitution is still the defining document.

The kid in NK found out differently.

Some countries have harsher sentences than the U.S.

Death could be one sentence.

In Italy, back in the late 70s, If the Polizia pulled that little lollipop out for you to stop and you decided to blow right by them, they had the right to raise their weapons to make you stop.

Typical traffic checkpoint ....

While he is holding the lollipop, his partner is standing by the vehicle ...

I know of one who was DUI and didn't stop. He can be thankful the Italians gave chase, recognized the AFI plates and only fired across the windshield.

My motor scooter had local plates, so, they probably wouldn't think twice about picking me off.

 

Hmm, Congress baseball game is very polarized.
