I lost my shaming finger in a terrible fingerwagging accident years ago. It is refreshing to see someone using the full force of their God-given tsk-tskers to such a positive result! SHAME ON, GUILT WARRIOR!

I am glad there are still people out there willing to stand strong with child abusers, drug users, welfare recipients, simply because those awful people mirror their political beliefs! So refreshing.

"Wow, is this some of that "innocent until proven guilty" and open mindedness that the left claims to embrace"

My favorite flavor of irony. Wonder what could have been "proven" in that hearing to terminate parental rights? TEABAG SEZ: NOTHIN!

Bonus points for wailing about bigotry while using the oh-so-specific and not-at-all generalizing term "the left" (yes, all of them... wait, all of us... wait, all of who...?) to accuse everyone posting here of terrible crimes against fairness. WHY WON'T LIBTARDS JUST ACCEPT THE MITIGATING WORDS OF POLITICAL OPPORTUNISTS!?

*Karma shiv*

The Right Wing sites would just sit around thumbing themselves all day, most of their members are 140+ pts already. <a href="http://id.tv.breitbart.com/" target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://id.tv.breitbart.com/">http://id.tv.breitbart.com/...

The problem with some of these cases is that they have like a 95% conviction rate.

One of my friends in high school became a single dad when his girlfriend got 10 years for selling marijuana, her parents wanted the kid so they turned him into CPS, they made up some story about coming over and them smoking weed in front of the kid, never happened though. It took almost 5 years for him to even see his kids again and she was out before he had custody of them again. They had to sue her own parents, which brought about an investigation into the grandparent's child rearing which found sexual abuse, the grandfather got 3 years.

Why are we sending child molesters to jail for less time than someone selling weed?

Don't worry neither one of them is homosexual.

By the 'blood of patriots' we have committed genocide and imperialism. What we really need is an organization titled 'Sanity-keepers.'

It's in the Concord Monitor. Really:

Amanda Biondolillo, a Concord woman who came with her young daughter, said she didn't think the state should get involved in family issues at all, even if there is reason to suspect abuse.

"The family should be left to resolve it on their own," Biondolillo said. "Or private enterprise - private companies can contact the family and say, 'We heard you were hitting your kids. Can you stop that?' "

I, uh, well . . .

I also suspect some drug issue. Seems like the "two adorable toddlers" are still in the home, only the newborn was moved to foster care. (Though JMPEsq says they're out too.) Looks like some serious concerns with the all-american-girl mother.

Over on the TP'er blogs (prisonplanet[dot]com), the comments are all about starting a shooting war over this incident.

<blockquote>It will start with paper and pen, but it shall come down to weapons and ammo. It always has and always shall be. No one can change that</blockquote> And they're so sure this is all about the father's politics and "oath keepers". As if the gov'mint has selected this man, this child, this moment to start its persecution. One poster actually compared this incident with Nazi's rounding up the Jews for extermination.

So maybe I should buy a gun. OOPS... I mean buy more guns, bigger guns. Don't you TP'ers think for a minute that I am peaceful or reasonable. I have already reloaded, motherfuckers.

OT - But for the record, I know more about the fucking DoH than I ever wanted to. My ex-fiance's mentally challenged brother lived with us and he had the first season DVD. He.watched.it.all.of.the.fucking.time. It almost made me retarded.

This gives me an idea for a new TV show. The Duke Team or the A-Hazard.

An all white group of men, who are all named after the Founding Fathers™, drive around in a van with confederate flag upholstery and shag carpet. All of them are legally packing 4 or 5 guns each but when the shooting starts various real weapons pop out the van to vanquish their numerous nemeses that have come to take away their constitutional rights.

It happens that I did foster care for a while in my past. When kids are taken from a home there's always two sides to that .... JUST KIDDING! The parents have to fuck up pretty bad before a judge will sign off on that kind of thing.

But the older kids are Gorgeous Toddlers, so the parents would never mistreat them. Those ugly toddlers are another story.

Strange, I would have placed him as an A-Team kind-of-a-guy.
