There are two ways to be fooled, one is to believe what isn't true, the other is to refuse to believe that which is true.

Maybe a hate crime, since disability/handicapped is a protected category? I'll let you know if I find out for sure.Pat D. https://forum.casebook.org/core/imag...rt/reading.gif

Criminal charges for teens who witnessed drowning -- failure to report death
Originally posted by GUT View PostBe interested to know what they can be charged with.
They say it's a test case in Florida, because while they have the statue, it has not been used before.
I think it is stupid that we have to legislate basic human decency.
There was a recent story about a Newfoundland dog that jumped in a lake and saved a struggling deer fawn. If humans are less decent than our dumb animals, we are scarcely the pinnacle of the animal kingdom.Pat D. https://forum.casebook.org/core/imag...rt/reading.gif

2. The Newfoundland was doing what it had been bred to do.
Friendshad a Newfie (a lot of them actually) they had to be in their kennel before anyone hopped in the pool, or you'd be pulled out, in danger of drowning or not, the instinct to save someone from water is so strongly ingrained in those beautiful dogs.G U T

Quick look it seems to be a Class 1 Misdemeanor
with penalties of up to one year in jail or 12 months probation, and a $1,000 fine.G U T

I meant "dumb" in the older usage to mean without speech, not intelligence.
Enjoyed the information on Newfies, very interesting.
Our old cat (18 years old next month) is sick and on medications for an infection. They're going to call Monday with the results of her blood work to see if she has kidney issues (and how bad if so). Our younger cat seems to sense something isn't right, probably due to scent.
