You may have the impression that your local council does not employ the best and brightest. I certainly do. The arborists are great but you have to run an obstacle course of the drones in the office to get to them. Still, it could be worse.


From Atlanta this is like something Kafka might have written.

Two people in China have been charged with demolishing a section of the Great Wall to create a shortcut. It's simply staggering that they thought that would be OK.

And here's me getting a wee nudge for listening to the radio in the car..

Never crossed my mind to connect the phone.

A Texas town with population of 250 - 50 of them are cops - no corruption to see here

Whoever said there was no such thing as a silly question hadn't heard this.

Yup that's blown that theory out of the water!!

It's probably best not to piss off the digger driver.

in Ohio a dad found that his eleven year old daughter had been groomed by an adult male and had supplied explicit pics in response to his requests. There is a clip on social media showing the police at the house following the dad's call. During the conversation a woman cop tells the father that the daughter could be charged for creating porn. At that point the father said goodnight and closed the door, then posted a clip of the incident. Online outrage ensues.

The PD has responded as below.

Just f*cking wow.

In Nevada two teens, 16 and 18, joy riding in a stolen car came across a cyclist. They deliberately rammed him and drove off leaving him dying on the road. They recorded this, presumably to post on social media. The victim was a retired police officer.

They are to be tried as adults. They are black. Nevada still has the death sentence.

One of the teens has told the cops that he'll be out in 30 days.

He may be out in thirty days, but thirty years might be more likely.


Update. Now that time has passed a more detailed news report.

In NZ the judges would be required to account for their disadvantaged upbringing so they would be lucky to get ten years. Vote ACT to change this

That can happen in the USA, but seems less likely if the perpetrators are black. Which is why I mentioned their colour.

Voting ACT will change nothing. ACT will not be the government, they will just be a sideshow. Situation normal...

We shall see come results day. A lot of people including myself are still disappointed with National as they are still a bit too softly softly PC trying to get centre vote and also believe in the climate religion. ACTs no nonsense signs are everywhere including “end division by race”.
