What an idiot. He could have just waited for one to actually happen.

He didn't wanna go home early in a box, he wanted to go home early to play Xbox.

He shouldn't go to jail for this. But get some therapy.

Sending children to jail doesn’t help anyone.

If you ever wonder what Florida Man was like in his youth

So did he get to go home early?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

In his defense, it was probably 50-50 that one was gonna happen anyway

I must be incredibly jaded, because this is kinda funny. A terrible, stupid idea, sure, but reading about it is a bit funny.

Hoax call... Child arrested. Actual school shooting, cops checks notes sit outside and wait until the shooter runs out of ammo.

Police are there to wield authority, not take risks.

The Supreme Court has ruled that polie are under no obligation to prevent anyone from breaking any law. Their only responsibility is to enforce the law once it has been broken and apprehend the criminal. A cop can literally stand and watch you stab someone a hundred times while he eats a box of donuts and sips at his coffee, as long as he arrests him when he's done, he has fulfilled his duty and is not subject to any legal recourse for not preventing the death.

One in 50 Americans are born on the autism scale. Did you know that in Florida it’s one out of 5?

I had no idea they were so much better at testing for autism in Florida

[–] Adalast 1 points 1 year ago

There's not. We just use their politicians as a sample and extrapolate from there. /s
