What the hell is wrong with Americans? We're afraid to prosecute the horrible people in our society yet we throw the book at others who harm no one! Now I usually refuse to watch local news, but sometimes I'm around while my grandpa is watching it. Just in this newscast, I've seen the following:
Some idiot pikey woman in North Dakota left her baby locked in her minivan all fucking day. She claimed that she "forgot" that she had not dropped the baby off at her daycare. What the hell? You can't "forget" that you never went somewhere! And even if she really is that stupid, it's still criminal negligence, and must be prosecuted! But the report said that police did NOT expect to file charges. This just makes me so angry. It's shameful.
Second, they reported on the dedication of the Hindu Temple today, and how they are NOT planning on charging the idiots who caused all the damage with a hate crime, because the boys "did not know it was a temple." What the hell did they think that building was? That is total bullshit. The only other huge buildings like that out in the middle of nowhere that I know of are churches. It's really ridiculous that they are going to let them off with that excuse!
Then the third thing is that the government was getting off on the fact that they took down some Canadians that were "smuggling" marijuana into the country with a hellicopter. They waste so much damn time on this when they could be doing something important like, oh, terrorism? They talk about how evil these drug users are, and how bad Canada is for having a more relaxed attitude toward pot. It's just so outrageous.
Then finally, we have all these politicians doing horrible, criminal things and completely getting off with it. We would rather abide by corporate mandates to prosecute children for downloading music and TV stations for showing nipples and saying, "shit."
I'm just really pissed off right now, and reminded of just why I hate this country SO much. Oh well, I'll stop ranting now and go back to being depressed.
