IRAN – ISRAEL AND HOW HATRED PLAYS ITS ROLE

As everyone knows, Israel and Iran aren’t exactly Domino partners and they have cancelled all there mahjong events. The Middle East has become one of intense focus and scrutiny and any decision being made can have severe consequences. The game went from Old Maid to Crazy Eights to War. All of this because of one person’s belief that the other person should not exist. The hatred by these two parties are going to create a situation that can have long lasting affects on every aspect of everyone’s life. This is a stupid war made by stupid people that are old and act like children. The impact by these narcissists can be severe.

Some moron believes that their religion tells them that they must hate someone because they are of another religion…. you have to follow this…. a religion that says you have to hate someone…. that isn’t a real religion or maybe the person that is interpreting that religion is a stupid old man that just wants to hate someone. Iran’s Supreme Leader stating that all Zionists must be wiped off the face of the earth or something to that effect. “Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad frequently used inflammatory language, stating in 2005 that Israel must be “erased from the page of time” or “wiped off the map”. This statement has been widely interpreted as a call for the physical destruction of Israel” and “Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has also made statements critical of Israel, calling it a “cancerous tumor that must be uprooted”. He has clarified that his call for Israel’s destruction does not equate to the annihilation of all Jews, but rather the demise of the state of Israel“. To be fair, the other side has made similar remarks but to be absolutely fair, Iran made them first.

Given those previous statements and if Iran would get nuclear grade weapons, even though Iran has stated that their purpose is not to use nuclear weapons on Israel, do you think they are being straight forward? Do you think they would sneak a dirty bomb to one of their proxies like Hezbollah or the Houthis? What would a nuclear war look like in the Middle East? Iran or Israel bombs the other and then the retaliation by the other side….. Given that most of the oil comes from the Middle East, that would severely hinder any and all gas run products, Elon Musk and Tesla would become de facto world dictator as their cars would take over (just kidding), the nuclear fallout would make a lot of that area unlivable. The nuclear fallout would affect so many countries it would paralyze the world. It would affect the prices and wages of every living person and thing. These are just some of the small things that I can think of. All because of hatred by some old morons that should be put away in a home and not be in charge of anything. It’s your old grandpa that keeps yelling get off of my lawn that is in charge over there.

These old folks are pure hatred and if they teach us anything they teach us that pure hatred solves nothing and creates way more problems. They have no reason to hate one another, they just do. Some of these old folks are a hoot…. Whatever the U.S. decides to do, it has no good choices. It has been put in a spot that you can’t win. That’s hatred for you….

Hatred…. pure hatred has severe consequences…. you hear that immigration hawks….. learn from these dumb dumbs…. stop the pure hatred.

HOW DO WE NAME OUR SHIPS AND MILITARY BASES

Pictured in uniform is Jose Mendoza Lopez and pictured with the sign is Harvey Milk. Recently, there has been some discussion on the removal of Harvey Milk’s name being removed from a Navy Replenishment Oiler. For those who don’t know, that’s a Navy ship, whose main mission is to re-supply other ships or military bases with needed items. While not exactly a “battle ship”, it still serves an important role in keeping the Navy running smoothly. The political left is outraged and stating that you don’t have anything better than to do than renaming a ship, while some have said that the only reason that they are doing it is because Harvey Milk was gay and it’s a clear sign of homophobia. The right is saying that it is an honor to have a Military frigate named after you and it should go to the most deserving and should be something with a warrior mentality that makes you proud to serve on it.

So who is right? Should thought be put into naming Military bases and freighters and equipment or should any old name be used? How about the USS Dahmer, that would terrify our opposition. Nothing stokes fear into the enemy more than a cannibal. How about the USS Liberace? If we can’t kill them we will show tune them to death. We can even bedazzle the boat with little gems and rhinestones. The truth is that the ship should have been named something else in the first place.

Harvey Milk’s claim to fame is that he broke some kind of barrier by becoming the first openly gay person to serve in an elected office, in San Francisco…. California. Milk did serve in the military but did not serve in combat but was in the military during the Korean War. Milk was discharged on an “other than honorable” service category from the military, most likely due to his homosexuality but it’s not clear what happened. Milk was also said to have pursued a sexual relationship with a 16 year old boy while he was in his 30’s but was never charged. Some accounts place the child at 17 while others state that they didn’t do anything sexual until the person was 18. It’s really not clear what happened but in all honesty, do you think that the Democrats made the right call naming a ship after this guy?

The other guy pictured above is Jose M Lopez. He was a Medal of Honor recipient who was credited for single handedly saving his whole company. His accommodation, who was written by his commander and told by eye witnesses, reads as such: “On his own initiative, he carried his heavy machine gun from Company K’s right flank to its left in order to protect that flank, which was in danger of being overrun by advancing enemy infantry supported by tanks. Occupying a shallow hole offering no protection above his waist, he cut down a group of 10 Germans. Ignoring enemy fire from an advancing tank, he held his position and cut down 25 more enemy infantry attempting to turn his flank. Glancing to his right, he saw a large number of infantry swarming in from the front. Although dazed and shaken from the enemy artillery fire that had crashed into the ground only a few yards away, he realized that his position would soon be outflanked. Again, alone, he carried his machine gun to a position to the right rear of the sector; enemy tanks and infantry were forcing a withdrawal. Blown backward by the concussion of enemy fire, he immediately reset his gun and continued his fire. Single-handedly, he held off the German horde until he was satisfied that his company had effected its retirement. Again, he loaded his gun on his back, and in a hail of small arms fire, he ran to a point where a few of his comrades were attempting to set up another defense against the onrushing enemy. He fired from this position until his ammunition was exhausted. Still carrying his gun, he fell back with his small group to Krinkelt. Sgt. López’s gallantry and intrepidity, on seemingly suicidal missions in which he killed at least 100 of the enemy were almost solely responsible for allowing Company K to avoid being enveloped, to withdraw successfully and to give other forces coming up in support time to build a line which repelled the enemy drive.”

Given the bravery of Msgt. Lopez and the accusations of Mr. Milk, why is it that the Demos are so up in arms about the renaming of the ship, even though it probably won’t be named after Msgt. Lopez? The Demos had a decision to make and they decided to name a ship after a pedophile just because he was gay and for no other reason. If Milk had been gay and saved his company, it would be a different story, but he was gay and pursued a minor. If Milk had not been gay, the Demos wouldn’t even care who he was. Do you see why people are losing faith in the Democrats? They put zero thought into their decisions that they make and then complain when someone tries to correct them with some kind of unhinged political correctness and warped sense of right and wrong. It’s incredibly stupid that we even have to discuss this. Msgt. Lopez, who put his life on the line and saved countless lives with his bravery has no military items named after him but the guy that got elected by other gay people somehow deserves to be immortalized.

My advice to the democrats, stop crying over spilled Milk.

EVEN MORE REASONS WHY THE DEMOCRATS ARE FALLING BEHIND

California just paid out a whopping $4 Billion settlement, that’s just Los Angeles County, for sexually assaulting little boys in half way homes, foster care homes, State funded children centers, churches and at juvenile detention centers. It’s ok though, because the State apologized and now its all better, the booboo is gone. Right, that’s how it works, you say “my bad” and the sexually abused children are now all better because of your words and I’m guessing the $4 Billion that tax payers have to shell out doesn’t hurt, well, it doesn’t hurt the people receiving it, not compared to what those fucking nasty predators did to them. The tax payer, they’re fucked…… in a whole different way than those children were. That was a cringy way to say that but I feel it needed to be said.

Per the Los Angeles Times…. “Los Angeles County has reached a $4 billion agreement to settle nearly 7,000 claims of sexual abuse in juvenile facilities since 1959, officials said Friday.”

“The agreement, which still needs approval from the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, far surpasses a $2.6 billion settlement reached in 2022 with Boy Scouts of America that was the largest aggregate sexual abuse settlement in U.S. history at the time.“…… “And last year the Archdiocese of Los Angeles agreed to pay $800 million to victims of clergy sexual abuse, bringing the total payout to more than $1.5 billion“

Lets be clear on something, the Boy Scouts, the juvenile detention center and the clergy thing were all done by homosexual males. The foster care thing and the child centers were probably also all homosexuals that did it, but not one mention of the people that did it. So somewhere between 99% to 100% of these incidents that cost tax payers upwards of $5 Billion dollars were committed by homosexuals. Money that could be used for anything else…. better schools (that the homosexual predators will try to infiltrate), better forest management (where these homosexual predators would take some of their victims), lower income tax and property tax (where these homosexual predators would uh… have dungeons but no dragons?) I apologize for making jokes, I probably shouldn’t but that is how I deal with stuff. The problem, as always, I’m not funny, this making the situation even worse. It’s like Elon making a joke about his vandalized cars, “they destroyed my vehicles and now I have to make a sad Tesla”. Jesus, that was stupid.

This blarticle, unlike all others, is a criticism of homosexuals. They state how that they are often criticized and how people discriminate against them and they are a tight knit community that will persevere even in the face of adversity and hate but they say nothing to the authorities when one or more of them are sexually abusing a child, even though they are such a tight knit community who all of a sudden are not that tight knit. They hold these parties and parades but have no clue what they are doing, it all seems a little Diddy to me. A shit load of people that have temporary amnesia or were blind and deaf at the time these incidents occurred. Not one of them stepped forward to the authorities to report anything because they all say they knew nothing. Come on… even Diddy isn’t trying to pass off that lie. Nobody believes the Diddy people and no one believes that not one of the homosexual people in that community had no idea that these abuses were happening.

You might ask, how does this relate to the Democrats? Good question….. who asked that? I’m sure it was a Democrat. Let me be vague…. I have no idea except to say that Democrats are the champions of the equality of homosexuals but also not really, democrats, for some reason think homosexuals are better than heterosexuals. These payouts represent the decisions made by Democrats. These decisions led to these abuses and these payouts.

The Democrats put in place safeguards against male prison guards when it comes to female prisons due to rapes but in doing so they chose not to place any safeguards against homosexual prison guards because they somehow believed that homosexuals are better people and wouldn’t rape a child? They put safeguards when heterosexuals are in compromising situations but not homosexuals, even though empirical evidence suggests, sorry, flat out states that homosexuals will take advantage of a child 1000% more than a heterosexual or 11 times more or a 11 to 1 ratio. But yeah, by all means, keep championing their stances of being alone with children in kindergarten classes and juvenile detention centers and foster care and adoptions. You’re right, the roughly 300,000 children that were sexually assaulted by them should not be enough for you to place those safeguards….. and that’s in LA county alone. Does this make me a homo-racist, (I’m not a homophobe, I don’t care you exist, I care you hurt people)? And this is the ones we know about, not the ones that went to court and had the courts shoot down their claims due to political pressures or because the courts want to protect an institution or from children that would not come forward due to embarrassment and anxiety.

They say that only 20% of sexual assaults are actually exposed, that would mean that the real number, in LA county alone is more likely 5 times what is being reported, so somewhere between 1,500,000 and 2,500,000. This is taking into account for bias numbers being reported by the papers and authorities to try and stave off what would be a horrific collapse of a system due to stupidity and personal bias. They would purposely lower those numbers as much as possible because elections are right around the corner.

This was happening way back in 1959…. I’m pretty sure this was reported to the proper authorities and ignored…. who the hell was the head of the FBI back then? Another funny on my part… it was none other than J. Edgar Hoover, the grand pedophile himself. What a fucked up system.

I’m not saying that all homosexuals do this but that they are more likely to do this as stated by the FBI, DHS, HHS, NIH and a host of many other initials. I don’t care the reasons why homosexuals do it, I just care that these stupid ass politicians that refuse to see the truth because they are so fucking woke. I’m not telling you to imprison homosexuals who have done nothing wrong, I’m telling you to do your due diligence so it makes it almost impossible for anyone to do something wrong. If it means don’t hire homosexuals for kindergarten classes, then don’t. If it means put cameras in classes, then do that. If it means asking people about their sexuality prior to hire, when it comes to the safety of children, then what the fuck…., just do it… but stop being so fucking woke that you endanger my child or any child. You want to champion a cause, be the politician that had no sexual assaults cases in their district or State, no matter whose feelings get hurt.

Do you remember when former U.S. Attorney Merrick Garland complained about parents in school meetings? The parents were upset because some homosexual school teacher was propagating some scenario that the parents felt was homosexual grooming. The parents complaints were taken as threats by the Justice Department and he told the FBI to investigate the parents like they were domestic terrorists. The parents complaint was that minor children under a certain age did not need to learn about sexual education and anything that they needed to know at that age, it was up to the parent to teach their children not a homosexual teacher. Merrick Garland, with all his wisdom, disagreed, flat out making it seem that the homosexual teacher was a more suitable person to teach third graders about sex. The above taxpayer having to dish out a shitload of money scenarios explain why Mr. Garland was wrong. I think Mr. Garland doesn’t know his ass from a hole in the ground. His ass is where the homosexual wants to stick their dicks, the hole in the ground is where he puts this countries morals. But this is the democrats at work, their wokeness over everyone’s safety.

I understand this is a harsh criticism of a particular group of people and I understand that not all homosexuals are bad people or pedophiles.

(If) Diddy done didit, Diddy done done

The one thing that can be said is that there is the same panic as in the Epstein case, there is a ton of it. You can cut the fear with a leather whip. Unlike Epstein, who somehow died in prison by hanging himself with just a toothbrush and a toothpick, that is some crazy MaCgyver stuff, Diddy will probably make it to court. What comes out is going to be interesting. But the one thing the Feds are good at is instilling fear and having people turn on themselves. This is going to get interesting if you aren’t one of the people encompassed in this mess. The…. SAD… thing is …. Diddy, if he is guilty of what they say, isn’t the worst of them. There is worse.

SHARED NEWS: Professor who made students remove shirts created ‘hostile environment’, investigation finds SHARED NEWS: As Reported by USA Today Story by Isabelle Butera

A Maryland professor who instructed female students to remove their shirts during class created a “hostile environment” and violated Title IX, according to an investigation by the U.S. Department of Education.

Investigators said the instructor at the Takoma/Silver Spring campus of Montgomery College in Maryland required female students to remove their shirts and wear only their sports bras to demonstrate a “medical assessment.” Some students put on lab coats for modesty and the professor instructed the students to remove them. He then commented on the students’ breasts, according to a letter from the Office of Civil Rights to the college. 

Manny’s Blog: So, white students, and rightfully so, complain about this harassment and get an investigation from the government. That’s good and also interesting.

SHARED NEWS: Gov. ABBOTT ADDRESSES SHOOTINGS

A mass shooting of undocumented immigrants has left the people in Texas in an uproar, most of them anyway. Gov. Abbott addressed the situation and offered a $50,000 reward for the capture of an obviously dangerous individual. While most applaud the Governor’s actions, as I do, there were some that took umbrage to the Governor’s description of the victims. Having first hand and personal experience on undocumented people, I can tell you that this is the wrong time to introduce personal feelings or politics to the situation. If you are offended, then send the Governor a private note asking him if he could refer to the victims as to what you feel might be the appropriate term and thank him for his response and for warning other non citizen citizens, my preferred term, that they might be targeted. Not the greatest time to go cancel culture or woke. Not everything has to be an Us against Them situation. I think normal people would agree with me, so that would be about 20% of America….. Jesus, I hope I didn’t piss people off by saying normal….. Fuck, I just said Jesus….Shit, I just said fuck…. Damn, I just said shit….. this can go on forever….

SHARED NEWS: DUMB DUMB SHARES CLASSIFIED INFORMATION

There is so much to this story that it boggles the mind. A 21 year old, non college grad, that lived his life on social media, is entrusted with some high level classified material on his Air National Guard Base…… I’m not sure if I should end that with a question mark or a period. Classified material that is usually found in a SCIF. This kid is obviously not a spy, wasn’t looking to harm U.S. interests, and wasn’t doing it for money. So why did he do it, because he wanted to show his social media friends how cool he was. He was 21…. he wanted to show off, like every other 21 year old. He is also a product of the new computer age. The age where he can’t really see everyone he is talking to but somehow they’re friends anyway. I think this age needs a name like other ages. We had the “Stone Age”, “Bronze Age”, “Iron Age”, “Classical Era”, “Medieval Era”, and “Early Modern Era”…. this one can be called “Goofy Age” or maybe “The Dumb Fuck Era” maybe it could be called the “Don’t Trust Anyone Epoch”… where people just do stupid shit for no apparent reason…maybe.

Jack, the kids first name, should have been out at bars and drinking and spilling those secrets to drunk women to get laid but that’s not how society works nowadays…. Now, the king of a social media website is somehow the cool kid on the block. It’s that insta-fame that everyone seeks that’s trapping these young people. I have theories… lol… on my social media website blog thingamajig… on how this kid got himself caught up in this mess, none are good for him but they also don’t paint him as a mastermind villain or a right wing or left wing political nut job. My theories are simply that he was goaded by the praise that his social media buddies bestowed on him by calling him the leader of the group, the “OG”. Probably the first time he ever had that moniker bestowed on him. I think someone played this young man with some high end psychological mind game to have him reveal those secrets. The only question I have is, was it that Russians, the Chinese or the FBI? If I was the lawyer of this young man, the first thing I would want to know is if any of his so called buddies were in contact with any of these agencies or were any of these social media friends of his actually working for any of the entities and pretending to be some young kid and that just heaped praise on this unsuspecting dumb dumb, stroking his ego to the point where he felt that he needed to prove that he was indeed the leader of this social media clan by showing off his intelligence or, in this case, the U.S.’s intelligence. There is no doubt he was somewhat entrapped but by what and whom remains the question. His ego a little bit, by someone way smarter than him, definitely, by his need to feel needed by a group of peers, most likely. Either way, disseminating classified material is a crime, but intent has its place in the court and so does entrapment. Giving classified material or comfort and aide to the enemy is a crime, but we’re not at war so he doesn’t have to worry about the death penalty. At least Jack has that.

What is apparent is that he is going to be labeled…. first thing they are going to say is he is “white” which shouldn’t matter but nowadays it seems to be a curse for some. Next, they’re going to try and put Jack in a category like radical or racist or sympathizer, he most likely wasn’t any of those. Then they’re going to say privileged or arrogant or narcissist, I don’t think that either. Than maybe lonely, eh, wouldn’t make that an issue either. Than mental problems, or he ran over a squirrel or he didn’t leave a tip at a restaurant. All of it BS and not bachelor of science. The truth is most likely he was young and got played Why him and how did he get on one of those entities radar, that’s probably the better question.

I will say though, if it was one of these entities, and I believe it was, the most likely one could be an internal investigation. I mean, why would a foreign source want to burn his intel guy unless he felt like he got everything they were going to and did it to embarrass the U.S., which is a possibility.

Also, look to see if anyone else gets charged. Jack placed it in a closed chat, then someone else disseminated the info, from what they are saying. If there isn’t any other people charged, that should be a clue to something.

There is another theory, it’s a little less complicated, it goes like this….. he just did it, without provocation.

W.Va. journalist let go after reporting on abuse allegations

Story by By LEAH WILLINGHAM, Associated Press • 5h ago

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A West Virginia journalist lost her job last month after she reported about alleged abuse of people with disabilities within the state agency that runs West Virginia’s foster care and psychiatric facilities.

This undated photo shows former West Virginia Public Broadcasting reporter Amelia Ferrell Knisely. Knisely was let go from her job at WVPB on Dec. 20, 2022, after she wrote about the alleged abuse of people with disabilities at the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Services.

Amelia Ferrell Knisely, a reporter at West Virginia Public Broadcasting, said she was told to stop reporting on the Department of Health and Human Resources after leaders of the embattled agency “threatened to discredit” the publicly funded television and radio network. She later learned her part-time position was being eliminated.

In a statement, Knisely said her news director told her the order came from WVPB Executive Director Butch Antolini, former communications director for Republican Gov. Jim Justice. Antolini has served as executive director since 2021, when his predecessor was ousted after Justice overhauled the agency’s governing board.

Justice has tried unsuccessfully to eliminate state funding for WVPB in the past and was accused of appointing partisan operatives to the board. WVPB receives around $4 million a year in state funding.

Antolini declined to comment, but other officials denied any effort to influence coverage. West Virginia Educational Broadcasting Authority chairman William H. File III said Antolini told the board “he was not coerced or pressured by anyone.”

File said in a statement that Knisely was never fired and remains on the WVPB payroll, though she said her door key and email were deactivated.

Knisely’s departure comes during a tumultuous time for West Virginia media. Days before she left WVPB, three reporters for the Pulitzer Prize-winning Charleston Gazette-Mail said they were fired after publicly criticizing an editorial decision by their company president Doug Skaff, who is minority leader in the state House of Delegates. Skaff approved and led a video interview with Don Blankenship, a coal company executive convicted of safety violations connected to one of the worst coal mining disasters in recent U.S. history.

The departures leave a diminished capitol press corps to cover the upcoming legislative session, which begins Jan. 11.

Knisely’s stories detailed alleged mistreatment of people with disabilities under state care. The department cares for some of the most vulnerable residents in one of the poorest U.S. states.

After Knisely’s departure from WVPB was first reported by The Parkersburg News and Sentinel last week, both Republican Senate President Craig Blair and Democratic Party Chair Mike Pushkin called the circumstances around her departure “disturbing.”

Pushkin said Knisely’s coverage of “the glaring issues at DHHR” was “detailed, in depth, and most importantly true.”

“There’s a very clear difference between not liking what the media reports and actively working to silence them,” Blair wrote on Twitter Dec. 29.

Knisely was hired as a part-time reporter at WVPB in September. In November, she was copied on an email from then-DHHR Secretary Bill Crouch alleging inaccuracies in a story and asking for a “complete retraction.”

That never happened, but in early December, Knisely said she was told by WVPB news director Eric Douglas that she could no longer cover DHHR because of threats by state officials to discredit WVPB.

A week later, amid mounting criticism, Crouch announced he was resigning.

Douglas confirmed to The Associated Press that he was instructed to tell Knisely she would no longer be reporting on DHHR, and that Antolini directed him to do so.

As for threats from DHHR officials about discrediting WVPB, he said: “I’d rather not comment on that.”

On Dec. 15, Knisely filed a human resources complaint about interference with her reporting.

Things came to a head later that same day over Knisely’s press credentials for the 2023 legislative session, according to emails obtained by the AP and first reported by The Parkersburg News and Sentinel.

Douglas initially informed legislative staffers that Knisely would “serve a vital role” in WVPB’s 2023 legislative coverage. But then the station’s chief operating officer left him off an email saying she wouldn’t need credentials after all.

That troubled Senate spokesperson Jacque Bland, who emailed Douglas to ask about it.

“It feels kind of gross and shady to me that someone else would dip in and say that one of your reporters won’t have any assignments related to the session,” she wrote.

She added: “I definitely wanted you to be aware that Butch and Pals were trying to stick their fingers in the pie.”

Responding the next day, Douglas said he had been pulled into Antolini’s office and told “things had changed with Amelia.” He said he didn’t appreciate WVPB leadership going behind his back, “but for now it is out of my hands.”

“And you’re right, it does feel gross and shady,” he wrote.

Knisely said she was informed Dec. 20 that part-time positions were being eliminated. Her email and key card were deactivated around that time.

This week, Knisely announced on Twitter she was hired by the Beckley-based newspaper The Register-Herald to report on West Virginia’s upcoming legislative session. Her coverage will include developments with the state Department of Health and Human Resources, she said.

Marijuana’s black market is undercutting legal businesses

PUBLISHED FRI, DEC 23 20227:30 AM ESTUPDATED 6 HOURS AGO

Stefan Sykes@THESTEFANSYKES

I’m not going to lie, I’m printing this as a sort of “told you so”. If I, a person that can’t figure out a fingerprint lock, the instructions didn’t say you had to use the same finger every time, that was a long 20 minutes, saw this coming then….. actually it might have been a little hard to tell. Anyone that reads my blarticles, all 10 of you, might have read my article on why legalizing marijuana might not bring the tax windfall you might think. This was one of the reasons I said. All you are doing is getting people hooked, they’ll start not being able to afford the dispensaries, the local corner guy will have more customers, lol, they might be the same sellers. It’s a pretty simple formula. I do have an idea about solar powered blenders and electric mailboxes if you are looking to make money, yeah…no… ok. It was just a thought.

If I knew how to hyperlink the right way I would know how to use a fingerprint lock, both of those things are still a mystery to me. This is my previous article. Check it out, it has a few decent laughs in it. I’m not as funny as I used to be. Damn.

Why being broke is better. Put Down The Dubious Dooby Law! (copy and paste or search my blog for it)

SHARED NEWS: THREE OFFICERS LOOK ON AS HOMELESS MAN DROWNS reported by numerous outlets

A homeless man drowns while the police look on.

I’m not going to go into the whole story but unless they pushed him in, there is very little they could have done to save him. Lifeguards go through some intense training to learn how to to do water rescues and sometimes they get drowned, it hasn’t happened in a long time, by the people they are trying to save. Not any one person, in their right mind, unless they were trained in water rescue had a good chance of saving him. I understand the human aspect of this story and that people sometimes think that police officers are something else other than human, that they should be able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, but they can’t. I get the sympathetic feelings that overwhelm you just thinking about this poor guy drowning and that somebody should have helped, but that’s not realistic. Chances are, the officer would have drowned with him. I also get the possible accountability feature of that story, but there is no there ..there for what happened here. A man, for whatever reason, lost his life when he felt like going for a swim. I feel bad for his family and the loss they must feel. The officers are not responsible for that. Police officers are there to prevent crimes and to make arrests when a crime occurs, not to save people from themselves.
