A Texas mother was arrested following a struggle with police after she allegedly left her infant in a running car while she took shots in a nightclub.
Samantha Grace Vaughan, 26, of Copperas Cove, Texas, was arrested at the Trackside Night Club after officers responded to a call around 1:45 a.m. local time to a one-year-old child in a safety seat in the backseat of a car. WGMB reported that the car doors were also unlocked.
Moral: Keep your head down, or it will be shot off.
If this woman is a threat to civil order or public safety, it barely nudges off zero, but when the police and prosecutors smell blood n the water, there is no limit to what they can call by the "terroristic" buzzword, which ratchets it up by a whole order of magnitude.
Somebody, probably even lower on the vermin scale, blew the whistle on her at 2am. The whole thing would have blown over with a misdemeanor on a single charge. But she has to be punished "to the full extent of the law" for daring to rub their noses in it with a smiling mug.
She had a legitimate reason for needing to go out, she took the sleeping baby with her in a "safety seat" secured in a locked car. But smiles at the mug, so even a lethal injection is too good for her. More Facebook justice'

re-read the story............car wasn't locked and at 1am outside of a bar probably isn't the safest place for that kid.

Is the husband also charged with something? The article states she went there to "pick him up" so it seems he must have been in there also. And surely he had some degree of curiosity about where the baby might be . . .
It's not clear if she got so very drunk at the bar, or whether she drove there plowed and then just had a couple more shots in a few minutes.
You mean, it is impossible for anyone to seriously have different view from yours?

That wasn't explained. But if the cops called it "terroristic", how dare you question that characterization of it.?

Threatened violence against the police officer?
New word (charge) to make an act seem more severe and apply a more severe punishment. Like "hate crime". Or a word that encompassed a wide variety of spoken words, actions, images, etc. that in reality dont fall under the actual definition of that word, like "racism". Terroristic threat:
"The courts have held that "a threat need not take any particular form or be expressed in any particular words, and may be made by innuendo or suggestion, and that the words uttered will not be considered in a vacuum but rather in light of all the circumstances."[4] A number of courts have upheld convictions under a state criminal terroristic threat statute on the basis of a single or solitary threat,[5] a conditional threat,[6] or a threat that some third person will take action.[7] In several states, courts have held that a "threatener's present inability to carry out his or her threats does not in itself remove the threats from the purview of terroristic threat or terroristic threatening statutes."[8] However, "the courts recognized that one does not violate a terroristic threat or terroristic threatening statute by making idle talk or jests which do not have a reasonable tendency to create apprehension that the speaker will act according to the threat."
Except the last part doesn't apply to the word "racism".
