They are not photoshopped! They are Paint Shop Proed!

[fivetoes]

Well first of all, those images are obviously doctored. The entire story is probably B$.

We have a winner for the discerning reader award!

[fivetoes]

This is totally silly. The cops and the social workers need to find new jobs.

They don't need to as we keep paying their salary to do what they do.

[fivetoes]

Well I will try to make them look more realistic, but I create these web pages in an hour or so.

I also need to make them look obviously faked because I wouldn't want anyone to take them too seriously.

hahahahahaa.......Thanks Meekie.

hahahahahaa.......Thanks Meekie.

LOL! Yeah, I had fun with this one. Some are sending this via e-mail to their friends!

Take care, Snow Bunny! ;-)

Yep, had me. About 2/3 way through the article, I went to check the source. That's when I noticed the humor category.

As has been said, it's sad that we could even think something like this could happen.

It was a great job! You might try blurring a little bit around the edges of the add-ins, you got all the perspectives right, just the "new" parts stood out a bit.

"This is totally silly. The cops and the social workers need to find new jobs. "

First statement: Correct.
Second statement: Probably correct, however, they'd be better served trying to find their shadows. These photos are composites and have been altered. Has to be humor.

Very well done! You had me going up till the part when I noticed that the sign in front of the apartment complex was obviously photoshopped.

It's pretty scary that I was able to believe this to be true up to that point. Not far from the truth, I suspect.

"Meanwhile, police departments and social service agencies nationwide warned of anticipated staff shortages during the long New Years weekend. County spokesperson, Burna Mout, says friendly neighbors should watch for people hoarding chips, pretzels, and adult beverages under the guise of preparing for the endless Pro and Bowl games during the holiday. 'Isolation is just not healthy, and will not be tolerated, she scowled.' "

Give me a break guys! I didn't see the section it was posted in!! :)

OK, Take a break. ;-)

Just one though or we'll have to send the social workers and the cops to your house.
Oh, I can see the headlines now Man arrested for stealing breaks.
A member of FreeRepublic was arrested for taking one too many breaks....

You'll have to excuse me I am excercising some much needed silliness after working on a Bill of Rights Day program for weeks.

"Has to be humor."

Its a fake story.

[fivetoes]

Has to be humor.

Anyone want to try it and let us know how it works out?

Check you local SWAT team website and see if it says anything about their mission is to respond to barricaded persons.

I only checked a few and that what they said.

[fivetoes]

I hope that the author of this story realizes that the fraudulent use of tape saying "Police Line--Do Not Cross" is a violation of the law.

Was this tape stolen from a legitimate site? And what about those six clowns in SWAT outfits? Is the author aware that impersonating a police officer is a serious offense?

People are calling this a FAKE story which means it doesn't exist. There actually is nothing here. please move along.

Here's another hint: There is no place called Lovingston, Colorado. I made that up when I didn't do any of the other stuff.

Excuse me its been a long weekend

[quietolong]

Ok Ha Ha. You got me. All the way thought the article I was going What ! O come on now and a few others..

But the sad thing is the way the current state is You give credence to this article and ones from the Onion. Because there are people out there in the Gov. would do this .

And also in this article. Why they want your SSN # to get a hunting license ( and it’s not for the children )

[Zon]

The truth is this kind of thing has happened to people.

Waco.

Just imagine what the new GESTAPO Law will entail!!!
