Mayor gets restraining order
Greeley Colo. Not happy at a 15 yr old showing his wife disrespect - this mayor apparently told the 15 year old bad things are going to happen.
Now I am all for people being respectful - especially children towards adults - but for the Mayor to then threaten this child - no matter how annoying, rude, inconsiderate - yeah that's the way to show that polite behavior is the way to go. I have no problems with the mayor demanding respect for his wife - but it has to be done in an appropriate manner. To then throw the kid to the ground because he would not stop riding a motorbike is incomprehensible - and has landed the mayor with a restraining order against him.
I do not believe in pussy-footing around rude kids - heck I am in England and we seem to be over-run by them right now - I do not believe a naughty child should be rewarded in any way - no matter how old - but I also do not believe attacking them physically for whatever reason is the way to go either. The mayor could have just as easily contacted the police himself and let them deal with the situation with the kid driving a bike unlicensed rather than make himself look like some kind of stalker first by cornering the kid at a basketball court and threatening him and then like some sort of uncontrollable maniac by keeping the kid on the ground.
Kids learn by example - and yes - at 15 he is old enough to know the difference between right and wrong - yet being attacked by a supposedly upstanding member of the community is only sending the wrong messages too. I am not excusing the kids behavior - but the Mayors behavior is just completely unfathomable.

Kids rescued in prostitution busts
Sex slaves - sold for sex - runaways and throwaways (oh I hate that term - but there is none more appropriate - makes the heart tear) - not adults only - but children.
21 rescued this time - way to go guys - these kids now have a chance of getting some help and seeing people do care enough for them not to be used in this or any other degrading manner!

Naked jaybird is jailbird again
Having been released from jail - after 2 days - a man was re-arrested - naked - because he thought the clothes the jail had given him were 'stolen'. He was deemed to be rational apart from being naked ................ yep of course - because we all as rational people just walk along the side of a road naked!!

He nearly got away........
Having stolen $3000 worth of jewellery from an appartment - the building super saw him and chased him whilst still in his pajamas. The thief started yelling a 'crazy guy was trying to kill him' and nearly got away with it till a tenant convinced the police that the super they had collared was in fact not the thief! The real thief was caught.
