friendly wording
Posted: Mon Aug 16, 2010 11:47 amYesterday, there was a man who was struck by two cars as he walked on the shoulder of the road. The 1st one took off, but the 2nd stayed & reported the incident. The man died.
The news, this morning, said that the police are looking for information about the 1st vehicle "so that they could talk with them about the incident."
Uh huh. So innocuous. So friendly.
Right next to the picture of The Flamingo Road Band in the local rag, there is an ad calling for ppl to call the cops if they see their neighbor's pot plants in their yards, so that they could go & 'talk' with them.
This kind of wording anly proves to me that there IS a reason why our education system is so awful...they want us all to believe the friendly wording of their pleas to catch & fine or imprison everyone who does anything remotely illegal.
They just had a 'major bust,' near my house. They claimed they had found 52 plants.
Some kid had been busted, & to save his ass, had ratted out some other locals. The police went to the general area where the plants had been reported, but couldn't find them. They saw a single scraggly plant in the front yard of a lady I know. I doubt that she even planted it. It hadn't been cared for or anything, & was about 9 inches tall. But the cops told her she'd be busted, & they'd take her kids away, if she didn't give them the location of all those plants that the original stool-pigeon had reported, within two days.
She asked around & found out there was someone who had twelve plants in a field, & reported him, to save her butt.
The cops counted each bud on the plants to come up with the number of 52, that they reported to the the news outlets. 52 plants. That's what the offender will be charged with, while the lady involved may well be targeted for being a stoolie, &, at the very least, be ostracized in her community, if & when the word gets out...& it always does. I mean...I know about it, don't I?
