MadMike's Blog

Reading some of the posts on this site has me ticked, because the FOX 5 moderators don't monitor the site for spammers, malicious content, or update the site at any time. Some of these "bloggers" need medical or psychiatric help. Case in point: Betting 2's blogs are completely random, obscure tidbits of info that aren't relevant to the section she blogs in. How can someone from Canada post her facts, when she should mind her own business and blog about HER OWN country's issues, not to mention the fact that this "person" openly and maliciously slandered another blogger without any proof what so ever! And what's with the movie trailers, huh? Too much time on your hands? Point 2: Bootsykowan blogs about her religious enlightenment over her lifetime, but doesn't post in the faith section. Why is this? She starts off on a tangent about a subject, then wanders straight in to her religion, when it doesn't pertain to the topic she's posting. Religious belief is just that, I don't want or need it shoved down my throat. I have no want or desire to read the Torah, Koran, or any other religious material other than the HOLY BIBLE! Then there are the completely blind, totally ignorant, and those that wish only to stir up public outcry to race. There should be an age limit for posting blogs, and if you can't spell, then you shouldn't post. The last thing is this: to the legitimate bloggers on the site, ( i.e. luvmybroom, Caffeinated Cow, Commander Bill, Grandpa 1 and a host of many excellent others! ), I, for one, am sorry your opinions are mixed up in this confusing mess, as yours are valuable to a thinking society.

In my recent blog, titled " 7 Year Old Arrested ", I've read the responses, and some were way too critical. My point of fact was, that a 7 year old boy was basically accosted by the Baltimore police for riding his dirt bike on public streets. I understand these facts. The mother was responsible for the boy's actions, and it was against the law for him to do so. Why wasn't the mother ticketed? Why wasn't the boy given a warning? This child wasn't causing any disturbance or injuring pedestrians. He was simply SITTING on the dirt bike, waiting for the father, when he was approached by the police. Then the situation got blown way out of proportion. The police didn't use restraint in this instance. They treated a child the same as an adult in this case, and it shouldn't have had to come that. Educate the family of the wrong-doing in stead of the strong-arm tactics used here. If you want the youth of today to respect the law, then the LAW should respect the youth.

In the news this morning, in Baltimore, a 7 year old boy was arrested for "supposedly " riding a dirt bike on the sidewalk in city limits. Can you believe this? He was cuffed and dragged from the bike. To make matters worse, the boy was verbally abused by the police at the 'arrest" site and taken to the police station, in front of the boy's mother. Police BRUTALITY! ABUSE OF AUTHORITY!  Shall I go as far to say, that even though the child wasn't charged, it will be a part of his juvenile record until he is 21? Baltimore's Mayor should have the Police Chief's head on a platter for even allowing any of this to happen, and the officers involved should be placed on leave WITHOUT pay until they can attend sensitivity training. The child will be traumatized forever any time he sees a policeperson, and the parents should sue the city without delay. What's next? Toddlers arrested for not being strapped in their strollers?
