F16’s Don’t Kill People, 500 Lb. Bombs Kill People

So THIS is the 55th time police have essentially "locked down" a neighbourhood in the tiny city of Lincoln, Nebraska?

From the statistics, it sound like they caught some really dangerous criminals.

Must have been intimidating though, what with the helicopter and all…

THIS is even better than seeing your parent get sacked on take your child to work day.

Geez. This is the world we live in.

Poor Mojo’s Newswire. 

Not only does inhaling Smarties mimic smoking (oh no, the horrors!) the youngsters face an increased risk of nose maggots.

That ought to scare those Smarties huffing youngins straight.

When I was a kid, we used to blow the powdered sugar out of licorice snaps in a plume-probably looked like a roach. We also used to rub sour cherry jellys on our faces as lipstick and blush. Still, I think the risk of nose maggots would have been enough to put me off both those activities.

Anyone know if the nose maggot thing is really true? Not that I’m going to be snorting Smarties or anything, just seems a bit over-the-top. 

For underage drinking.

 For their own good, of course.

Some excellent advice for protecting your privacy, and understanding your rights under the 4th amendment.

No one was seriously injured, and the adults could have easily broken it up and sent the kids home-but in the new police state, they’re getting charged. I hope they’re being charged as adults so this can follow them forever.

I wonder if kids still stand around on playgrounds chanting "Fight, fight" or if they get charged too?

So there you have it kids, no fighting over girls. Move along now. 

So kids, if you get upset with your parents, just call the police and they’ll execute a search warrant for mom’s private pot smoking stash. Then, they’ll charge mom with child abuse for getting high in front of a fifteen year old. That’ll show the bitch!

Come on, child abuse? A search warrant? One gram of pot? This is absurd. At least they didn’t send the SWAT team.

Seven year old throws tantrum at school. Police have him admitted to psych unit against wishes of parents.

This kid’s life is pretty much ruined. Once he has been branded a mental case by the state, it will follow him for the rest of his life. Nicely done, Florida.  

They used the SWAT team to serve a warrant-that’s a bit much, don’t you think? Saying they used the SWAT team because there were guns in the house also seems like a bit of a stretch-this is Nebraska-everyone (or nearly) has a gun in the house. As for the drugs they found, it sounds like small amounts for personal use found on the poor dumb schmucks that were in the wrong place at the wrong time, and not involved in the bogus check warrant.

I’m sure if someone had been killed in the raid it would be justified because they were writing bad checks and smoking dope!

Judges sentencing children to jail in return for bribes from company that runs jails. Somehow, I don’t believe this is an isolated incident. They don’t build those jails to keep them empty and in small towns the facilties provide jobs. Sending a kid to jail for parodying a school administrator seems so over the top that I’d have to assume the judge was either delusional or pretty damn confident that no one was going to question the ruling.
