Why are we seeing such an uptick in Americans being arrested for such absurd “violations” as letting their kids play at a park unsupervised, collecting rainwater and snow runoff on their own property, growing vegetables in their yard, and holding Bible studies in their living room?
Mind you, we’re not talking tickets or fines or even warnings being issued to these so-called “lawbreakers.” We’re talking felony charges, handcuffs, police cars, mug shots, pat downs, jail cells and criminal records.
Consider what happened to Nicole Gainey, the Florida mom who was arrested and charged with child neglect for allowing her 7-year-old son to visit a neighborhood playground located a half mile from their house.
For the so-called “crime” of allowing her son to play at the park unsupervised, Gainey was interrogated, arrested and handcuffed in front of her son, and transported to the local jail where she was physically searched, fingerprinted, photographed and held for seven hours and then forced to pay almost $4000 in bond in order to return to her family. Gainey’s family and friends were subsequently questioned by the Dept. of Child Services. Gainey now faces a third-degree criminal felony charge that carries with it a fine of up to $5,000 and 5 years in jail.
For Denise Stewart, just being in the wrong place at the wrong time, whether or not she had done anything wrong, was sufficient to get her arrested.

ReplyDeleteAlex Jones is garbage. His articles are garbage and all in the name of trying to get gullible people fired and mad so you'll buy his books so you know how to fight back, protect yourself, blah, blah, blah.
ReplyDeleteYou used to print stories that were local and important to us here. Now you've lowered your standards to crap like this. What a shame!
"Stories" like this?? What!?? You mean "factual events" that don't get reported much in the liberal media?
ReplyDeleteI think "stories" like this are much more important to Americans than who bought all the pies at Burger King.
The Three Little Pigs is a "story".
Nicole Gainey's situation is the truth. No matter who tells it.
I know how much that hurts you.....
