One day Jeb Bush was out for a walk. His walk took him to a small lake. There were a couple of young children playing next to the water. Jeb noticed a sign that said “SWIMMING IN LAKE AGAINST THE LAW - ENTERING LAKE ILLEGAL!”.
One of the two children fell in to the water. It was the little girl. Her brother jumped in to the water to help her. The water was not very deep but was still over the childrens heads.
Neither child could swim but they tried to. They struggled in the water gasping for air.
On the other side of the lake some adults saw the children. They saw them go under. As they ran around the lake they screamed at Jeb Bush. But Bush just stood still.
The adults were within 50 yards as the two children, brother and sister, were seen sinking below the water. They were holding hands. They drowned.
The adults ran up to Jeb Bush. They screamed at him “why did you let them drown? Why did you stand there doing nothing while they died”?
Jeb Bush looked back at the adults. The childrens bodies had been easily pulled out of the water. Their lifeless bodies were now at the feet of Jeb Bush.
Again Bush was asked “why did you let them die”.
Bush pointed at the sign that said that being in the lake was against the law and said “there was nothing I could do”. The he turned around and walked away.
A few weeks back, cops in CA actually watched a man die because the law forbade them from entering water without proper certifications.
