Had the Cops Called on Me for Animal Endangerment

ORD_Buckeye;1081511; said:
Well, I don't know what kind of a 19 year old, adult college sophomore spends Winter break hanging out with his 14 year old "friends," and quite frankly I don't want to know.

Unless the Cincy Enquirer was wrong, of all those present, he was primarily responsible for constructing and detonating the pipebombs. As for the other 19 year old, it's my understanding that he's been arrested and indicted on felony charges. Good!

"Kids do stupid stuff..."

Again, this was not a kid, and it was something far beyond "stupid stuff." "Stupid stuff" over Winter break is getting drunk and making a fool of yourself trying to get laid with an old girlfriend. "Stupid stuff" is not exploding pipebombs in the presence of minors. That's called "felony child endangerment." He was a legal adult and someone who wanted, in a couple of years, to become a naval officer. This wasn't some juvenile mistake. It was the profoundly unsound, immature and criminal judgment of somebody who should have known better.

Quite frankly, if this adult had been affiliated with my alma mater, I would feel the same way. Far from trying to stick up for him or minimize what he did or attempt to use the ROTC affiliation to wrap him in the flag and negate any criticism, I would be disgusted and embarrassed at such a dangerous, dysfunctional loser's association with my alma mater.

Thank him for taking his sorry ass out of the gene pool and give him a Darwin Award.

Again, what they all did was wrong. Also, I could care less about the reputation of my alma mater. Was his intent to hurt people around him? No. Was he a menace to society? I suppose in your rationale, he was. Intent does not prove innocence, but it I hardly think it's irrelevant. Either way, my point remains that joking about a fatal accident should be off-limits. I guess that's difficult to see from your seat of righteousness.

Well, of course nobody could handle their own problem like an adult. Why do it yourself if you can call the cops to do it for you. Just another page in the pussification of America.
Agreed and to go along with that line of thinking the people probably thought that if they call the cops they don't have to have a face to face confrontation with ORD. I wouldn't take any offense to it. I'm involved in very low level law enforcement but I see this stuff all the time. People would rather a law enforcement official get involved so they don't have to do any work themselves. Glad everything turned out okay for you, ORD. I've noticed there are a lot more people taking notice of animal endangerment kind of activities, whether it's justified or not.

Your original point was that ORD should not have made a joke about this because the individual died. Okay point taken, you have your opinion, ORD has his and the rest of us have ours. For what it's worth, many jokes play on the misfortune of others. Right or wrong.

But when you start talking about intent? How do you know what his intent was? He was building an illegal explosive device and detonating it for what purpose? If you would have left it at ORD's joke was in bad taste, your opinion, fine. But when you start talking about his intent as though you knew him and ellude to that he wasn't a menace to those around him you are in fact defending him. Nobody can be sure of what his intent was, but one thing we can be sure of is that rational people don't build pipe bombs as an innocent hobby. Terrible accident, yes. Avoidable tragedy, absolutely. Moral of the story? Don't build fucking bombs.

ORD's Joke:

Your opinion - In poor taste
My opinion - :slappy:


Now back to topic.

ORD - Awesome dog, too bad the idiot who took the time to call the police couldn't be bothered to take the time to look at your dog and tell that he was neither neglected or abused. I come from a family of animal lovers and am all for people protecting animals but they need to make sure those efforts are directed in the right way. The Pedigree food comercial on TV right now is like a punch in my stomach everytime I see it with the dog that doesn't get adopted. Makes me want to go adopt another animal from a rescue everytime (I already have a dog and cat that were rescue animals). My better half would kill me if I brought another pet home, even though the cat has turned into the love of her life. You abuse an animal it should be treated the same as if you abused a spouse or a child, harshly.

Look, Fredo. We'll just have to disagree about this young man. I will say that I was very touched and moved by the musical tribute from his memorial service. Watching it led me to view him in a whole other light. Here's a clip:

Total fucking morons are never off limits, even when they go so far as to off themselves via their amazing stupidity. Unless this dipshit was under controlled conditions at an EOD facility, he had no right whatsoever to be detonating a device as dangerous as a fucking pipe bomb. Terrorists use pipe bombs to slaughter innocent people...this fucking chimp-fuck wanted to detonate one simply to impress some kids who were just learning how to jack off.
