Unbelievable, simply unbelievable. If we're getting the full story Gaines didn't do anything illegal by simply holding his child and a BB gun at the same time. Stupid yes, but not illegal. At least not yet, but it may soon be if the media-created national hysteria concerning guns continues. Let's just ban firearms today and BB guns tomorrow, and then all will be right with the world.
The US of today is no longer the nation I was born and raised in. Hitler, Stalin, Tojo, and Mussolini were in their heydays when I was born in 1937. Our "greatest generation" destroyed three of those tyrants and the evil systems they created, but now we have our own Hitler wannabe in the White House and a national government that if given the opportunity will gladly emulate those we destroyed in WWII at a terrible cost in lives and money. The scariest part of this radical change is that the majority of American voters seem quite willing to give that chance to our Hitler wannabe in the D.C. and to our government at every level.
Apparently the Cincinnati law enforcement and judicial systems are leading the way into our own Nazi government at the local level while our Fuhrer in the D.C. is working 24/7 to re-create it at the national level. May God help us, we no longer seem able to help ourselves.
Please explain the "stupid" part.
Is it stupid to put any photo on the net?
Is it stupid to put on a photo of a gun?
If a person who owns a gun puts a picture of it on the net, and it is possible to prove that the same person has custody of a child, is that "stupid"?
The risk to the child in the picture is no greater just because the child is pictured. Nor is the risk greater because the gun is pictured.
Does this mean that is is "stupid" for any person who owns a gun and has custody of a child to post a picture of themselves?
What is "stupid" is the notion that child protective services do not appear to operate based on "probable cause" and the necessity for a warrant swearing to the existence of that probable cause.
I don't see how any judge justifies not releasing this person immediately. Failing to do so is not only "stupid", it is tyranny.
All of the "stupid" in this case belongs to the government.
