first some Halloween fun. Now I used to make up masks like these for Halloween, but it scared the little kids, so now I just do “really strange” like a Katie Perry wig, silver skin and a sparkly blue dress and gold top hat and boa. They giggle. Little kids won.
Next for something Halloween scary and real:
A flash grenade thrown by police in Georgia left a 19 month old toddler fighting for his life when it was thrown into the crib to scare residents during a “no knock” raid on a house for guns, drugs and cash. The result? No guns, drugs or cash. Normal family–now with $1 million in medical expenses.
I hope these police officers realize that the life of one toddler IS worth stopping the “no knock” nonsense.
Any idiot can turn in a false report, and now it can be done by text and emails.
Please pray for this family and that our (idiot) legislators realize that “no knock” simply does not work. The judges aren’t careful enough, and the police don’t have a clue, but then again, do any of us. If you’re going to do something dangerous like that, you’d better be sure that you know there are no women and children around and that the perp has an actual sighting inside the house and the perp is judged more dangerous than the lives of others living inside the house.
That was not done. Now the taxpayers have to pay for a stupid lawsuit and this family is perhaps ruined forever? The perp? A nephew that never went to that house anyway.

The venality of the situation defies description. There was a time once when we valued the lives of women and children living in a home, now we have turned back into Neanderthals.
