I can respect consistency but have little respect for those who claim such concern for 'unborn babies'(a term I consider to be an oxymoron) but don't give a rat's patootie about those babies a minute after they're born.

Anybody notice the pattern here?

Waffle House attracts late night thuggery like twisters to a trailer court.

Ya pay yer money and ya take yer chances.

Kinda goes hand in hand with the old saying, "Nothing good ever happens after midnight."

The 24 hr restaurants in my area mostly have closed or gone downhill. They used to pack up when there were shift workers getting out of work at midnight- those companies are all gone now. We used to go to breakfast most every Saturday after a night on the town. Now I would hesitate.

Florida. Nothing in this story shocks or surprises me in the slightest. Florida.

A certain group of people can never be helped, no matter how much society tries.

Somebody should make Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Cory Booker aware of this incident. They want to start looking into paying reparations. This incident shows it will do no good.

While I don't agree with the concept of reparations, I don't believe the actions of a few thugs here and there should be the deciding factor. I just believe what was done in the past was done and throwing $$$ at it changes nothing.

There's more to this story. See this sentence from the article.

Investigators are now looking to see if the victims may have had a prior issue leading up to the argument.

It's rabid and needs to be put down.

They wouldn't be found not guilty, but if you or daddy can afford a top lawyer, you're not getting any death penalty.


I don't know that this crime meets the extenuating circumstances required to be a death penalty case, in any case.
