Bridgette Watkins, 43, of Summit, AR who allegedly took fawn’s into her home and raised the deer with the intentions of training them to attack hunters was taken into custody Friday.
At the time of the arrest Watkins was in possession of several grams of meth, four deer and many stolen broken electronics.
Attention was drawn to Watkins when she began giving meth to the young deer and they were caught rummaging through people’s garages and back porches.
A homeowner followed one of the deer back to Watkins residence in an attempt to recover his property, he found himself face to face with Watkins wearing only a duct tape bikini disassembling his clock radio.
Charges pending further investigation.

Plus that is different. When you would sneak out with you gun and do what ever you we're doing ,you probably knew you we're being a little naughty, the school promoting the idea would allow the child to think it is fine to walk around shooting stuff with guns, plus it is a major safeguarding issue letting children use guns, i'm amazed you cannot see this!
Who in their right mind sneaks out with a gun to be a bit naughty? The mens rea of this speaks a lot about your mindset.
I was at a mates house my parents didn't want me to visit shooting things with a BB gun, i felt naughty, that's it, stop trolling!

Oh, it's just that I remembered when you said that if there were no laws then all men would go out raping women because that's what you think all men want to do, so I assumed that also in your mind you think that anyone with a firearm has bad intentions in their mind by default.

The Labour Party Thought Police strike again, though I find it hard to believe I'm standing up for Dianne Abbott, but she has a right to voice her opinions same as anyone else, just a shame left wing people don't like free speech and can't cope with opinions they don't like.

Maybe Dianne and Jeremy should take another motorcycle tour of Eastern Germany together now they've got the free time.

Those were water pipes from the pool to be heated by the sun.
Not enough water in them to be of any use.

Dianne does have a right to be racist and anti-semitic, a right which she uses. But, ultimately not everyone will agree with her or want to align themselves with those views.

So I wouldn't call it thought police exactly, hate should be stamped out. Perhaps she should stand as an independent if she wants to run with her hate, racism and anti-semitism.

Let's also remember that, until recently, the then leader of the Labour party endorsed her views.

You did, we ripped you for it, but it was on the other forum.

You have this default position where anyone not you must be a scoundrel out to get you.

And CNN just gave Don Lemon the bums rush out the door & didn't even tell him, his agent called him to let him know. Good fucking riddance, a particularly nasty individual who thought he was immune to consequences because he's gay & black..

The announcement comes just days after Fox News settled a defamation lawsuit from the voting machine company Dominion over its coverage of the 2020 presidential election.

In the lawsuit, Dominion argued that its business was harmed by Fox spreading false claims its machines were rigged against Mr Trump.

The case prompted disclosures of text messages that showed Mr Carlson's private views contrasted with his on-air output.
Even bland can be a type of character :wave:
