And those roadblocks need to end!


I'm not sure if it's done everywhere, but they publish the time and place in advance so people have the option of avoiding them altogether.

Probably because there have been Constitutional issues with totally random stops.

I have heard both ways, published an surprise. Either way they need to end. If they say they are going to search every house on a bock for meth but publish it in the paper first it would not be a reasonable search. Neither are DUI checkpoints.

Another example of how religion is enabling hatred and intolerance, and encouraging violence.

Children are learning from these people, and this kind of garbage is perpetuated through the generations.

The anti-gay attitude among religious conservatives is appalling.
It just disgusts me

This is not a surprise, Christians do not in
the least approve of Gays. They'll say they
have some kind of twisted 'love' for them,
but they really don't like them at all. Now
there's every indication the killer himself
was Gay, full of self loathing planted there
by his god worshiping Gay hating religion.

This was something straight out of the OT,
where Yahweh did this kind of thing all the
time. Out of love, of course..

The poor kid who got killed by an
alligator at Disney World. The
question now is, how much will
it cost Disney. If Gawker gets a
$100mil loss, losing a 2 year old
has to be worth $500mil in
lifetime pain and suffering.

It is already costing Disney. All beaches are closed. Added patrols in evidence even though utterly useless. Reservations obviously affected. However, Disney has a reputation of not settling unless they actually did anything wrong, so who knows if it will ever go to a jury or not. Assumption of risk. Protected species. Unsupervised little brat. Do not feed wildlife signs. etc.

There are posted signs warning guests against swimming in the lake.
