    Normally I would be happy and make a mental note about the date the Sandhill Cranes showed up at the island in the swamp for their summer stay, until last year summer when they got what my wife thought was too close to the koi pond so she would sick the dogs on them when ever she heard the cranes out in the yard. Now the little yappers feel it is their duty to lose their minds barking when ever they hear a crane, and they are loud and vocal especially in the spring.

    You sir, have passed your Illinois state driver's license test. No proof of residency or financial responsibility necessary. Enjoy!

    From what I have seen in Detroit this morning and Minneapolis today as well you are covered in those metro areas, they give you that stupid look when you flip them off on the way by.

    So what happens with the Nigerian brothers that by some miracle Jesse never paid to beat him up?

    Are they now guilty for admitting to assaulting him?

    Are there still potential white criminals out there that have yet to be brought to justice?


    What would Jesse do if CPD decided to arrest and charge the two brothers for not only assault, but for filing false police reports of what they said took place now that Jesse has been found innocent and still a "victim to a hate crime".

    Does Smollett declining to press charges now, after filing a police report, really drop the severity of a hate crime?


    They admitted they battered him, a hate crime isn't victimless and can the victim actually say no to prosecution for such a vile act?

    Cognitive dissonances can be real bothersome.

    This guy is off the hook. Lol

    “Little pencil neck Adam Schiff,” the president said.
    “He has the smallest, thinnest neck I've ever seen,” the president added, calling the Democrats “sick people.”

    Are charges not possible for impersonating an officer of the law in your area?

    Motorcycle season has nothing to do with it.

    I'd beat that fool like a drum if my vehicle got hit by a rock or stick

    Well look at what he is mowing? The fence is too close to the road but he has no place to go with the clippings.

    Stop the insanity.

    Having charges dropped does not mean ANYONE is innocent. Especially when said person forfeits their bond and does "community service". My question is what "community service" did he do?

    And although I don't much agree with what the mayor of Chicago says, OK, I have never agreed with his line of thought, I do agree with him regarding his comments in this case.

    One act of idiocy being compounded by a second, third....

    Cut the **** a bit more often and there would not be this problem.

    BS, that guy could blow those clippings into his fence. A lot of places it is illegal to blow debris into the street. If someone had to stop quickly they'd be in trouble trying to maintain traction on those grass clippings, especially a motorcycle.

    Sure but when faced with a decision what seems logical to most is very complicated to an idiot.
