Maybe he was on his way to 4/20 in Denver ?

Sad to see these wonderful "birds" grounded, but we have our Congress to thank for that.

That IS great news for those in the Hall County area. I was happy when the Athens (Madison County) VA clinic opened, even though it's still a 90-mile round trip for me. Augusta, however, was 160 miles round trip.

Win-win.

@keepitsimple: The fact is that there are still gay-hate crimes being committed. I think that, in the interest of protecting this individual IN SPITE of himself, the DDS SHOULD reject those tags.

This guy started his "career" some time ago - here he is at age 28 in Dekalb County (Deposit account fraud / bad checks).

Time for some serious 'INTERVENTION'.

@oldwarrior: There is the LETTER of the law, and there is the SPIRIT of the law. In this case, I'd have to agree that restitution should settle this.

From what friends and colleagues say, he was simply a terrible bookkeeper.

@DanMatthews: Problem is, the registered owner might not be the driver / wanted person.

A warrant for what? What judge signed the warrant? In Georgia, it is my understanding that no child under 13 can be charged for a criminal offense! Am I mistaken?

[/quote]

It's not a criminal offense, it's a "delinquent act" when it applies to a child. Even some offenses considered a crime when an adult are categorized as delinquent acts when committed by a juvenile (child).

Any Judge can sign a Juvenile warrant to place the child into custody for evaluation and intervention (treatment).

That's legal here in Colorado (except for running the stop sign).

[/quote]

True. Possession and use by an adult in Colorado is now legal. Operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of even a LEGAL drug is NOT.

It's the same in all States. Just because you can legally possess and use a drug (i.e., Lortab, Vicodin, Oxycontin, Marijuana) doesn't mean you can take it and drive.

"Oconee Sheriff plans boycott" of Dana Safety Supply !

Really ? Choosing to consider other supply options for firearms is a boycott ?

I'm not particularly a proponent of gun control, mostly because, as somebody else mentioned, the "bad guys" aren't usually lining up at the gun shop counter filling out the dreaded yellow form. Law-abiding citizens do that. Careless law-abiding citizens arm the "bad guys".

Is it sensible (or even necessary) to own a semi-automatic assault-style weapon ? Don't know. I had a lot of fun popping off several repeat rounds at a target from time to time, but I'm not sure I could reasonably argue in favor of any other reason to have one that doesn't hinge on being a danger to someone else through some illegal activity. Still, I don't see much reasoning behind banning them entirely. There are a lot of people out there who own something just because they can and want to. No harm there.

Given that, I think it's ridiculous to term Berry's stand to be representative of a boycott. However, I also think it's irresponsible for Berry to take a public stand that would give that impression. It's all about appearances.

@fitzdawg19: Yeah......especially the foreign-exchange students from Great Britain.

What a wonderful idea - finally somewhere the spoiled rich kids can put their parents / grandparents so they can take over the lake-front mansions for those weekend parties !!

......., that money will be properly redirected to his victim.

[/quote]

Not so. It's entirely up to the person holding the money-judgment to execute the judgment, which can only be done after obtaining a FiFa (fieri facias).

Nothing is automatically re-directed to the judgment holder. It's a collection process that requires FINDING the assets, then properly executing a Sheriff's seizure (replevy) or a garnishment action (i.e., wages, bank accounts, etc).

Depending upon the size of any judgment, that alone could push him into bankruptcy BEFORE he gets a job, inherits Uncle Morris' fortune, or wins the lottery. By the way, you can file bankruptcy while you're in prison.

The only thing exempt from the bankruptcy (among other things) would be a Court Order for restitution. [523(a)(13) - U.S. Bankruptcy Code]

@zillybong: I couldn't agree more. Unfortunately, the insurance company (IF the idiot was insured) is limited to the level of coverage in the policy. They wouldn't be on the hook for any more than that.

The driver, on the other hand, could be exposed to whatever a jury / judge might assess in terms of loss to the victim. Sadly, although felony charges MIGHT be appropriate here, a conviction would severely limit the collectability of any money-judgment the victim might obtain. Consider time in prison, then the difficulty in obtaining viable employment with a felony conviction. That sort of limits the financial resources of the offender from which to pay any judgment.

Then of course, there's always bankruptcy. I've seen many cases where a civil judgment was the guiding force behind a bankruptcy. The civil judgment goes away.

I know that. I was being sarcastic.

Since when does an ACC Deputy have any authority to issue a TPO ?

Ahhhh....the memories !!

@Joe Johnson: Credit to you.

BTW, when are your IT people going to fix that link banner at the top so it doesn't stretch across the top part of all the photos at the top of the page ? Sloppy - just sloppy.

Ok, we're all thrilled you're doing much better, and we hope you continue to improve and realize a wonderful quality of life, considering the obstacles.

Your 15 minutes are over. Move on.

Reeves is 73, wouldn't he have been a little young to serve in the Korean War?

[/quote]

Yes. He would have been 14 years old when the war ENDED in 1953.

If he's 73 now, he would have been born in 1939 (roughly).

Somebody needs to check their facts before printing bogus B.S. like that, right ?

Where did you ever get THAT idea ?

§ 16-11-37. Terroristic threats and acts; penalties (a) A person commits the offense of a terroristic threat when he or she threatens to commit any crime of violence

(c) A person convicted of the offense of a terroristic threat shall be punished by a fine of not more than $1,000.00 or by imprisonment for not less than one nor more than five years, or both.

@BajaRat: I agree that most of these "visitors" have become parasites, but I fail to see how all of this can be placed squarely on the shoulders of POTUS. He's not a one-man band, after all.
