Chalk one up for the Eff Bee Eye:

For weeks after the mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida there were stories suggesting some alternative motivation, other than terrorism, for Omar Mateen’s actions. The most common was that Mateen was targeting gays because he himself was gay. One person, who claimed to be Mateen’s gay lover, said the attack was revenge because he believed he had been infected with HIV. Weeks later the FBI revealed that it had found no evidence to corroborate any of these stories. As far as they could determine, Mateen was not living a secret life.

Another strike for the Department of State:

During the Senate subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest hearing, Henshaw also stated that refugees are not asked whether they are literate in their own language. “Our decision to bring in refugees are based on their vulnerabilities,” the State Department official said.

Henshaw also said that job skills or education is not considered in the screening process of a refugee.

Whoa:

A Manville High School senior says that he was ordered to go for a psychological exam after an anti-gun control project he was assigned last year was found on his thumb drive at school.

“I've never been a violent person,” says Frank Harvey. “I've never had detention in my life.”

Harvey was assigned the project during his junior year for a college career readiness class. He was tasked with putting together a video arguing against gun control laws.

...

Harvey’s mother says she will not allow her son to undergo the exam and decided to pull him out of school. Harvey says he will now work towards earning his GED.

And a strike for the FBI in Alaska:

The breach party looks vaguely military, but they don't search homes or serve warrants. But still, that's a hell of a door.

So, what to make of the fact that one senator skipped the vote altogether? And what to make of the fact that this senator is the Democratic Party’s nominee for Vice President?

That’s right, Virginia’s Tim Kaine weaseled out of the vote and claimed he didn’t put his name to a vote because he was too busy campaigning. And he was. He was campaigning less than 10 miles away, across the Potomac River in Alexandria, VA.

Baby dies in hot day care van:

They need to be more responsible," another parent, who did not want to be identified, said. "There's too many adults in there for them to be neglectful like that. (They need) more head counts, more teachers or something."

When a parent does it, it's because "anybody can make a mistake" or because car manufacturers haven't prevented it.

When a day care provider does it, "they need to be more responsible."

Even if someone ISN'T either of the above, Kevin, she (I suspect it's always a she) is likely to be blamed for not being "more responsible."

Take this outrageous case in Pennsylvania, in 2005, with Susan Newkirk (who wasn't even a babysitter, technically):

And, in a 2011 Bratfree thread, I said:

Does ANYONE understand why (the court) could jail her for this but (maybe) couldn't jail her for not simply keeping a sharper eye on the kid beforehand? After all, a nearby non-swimming STRANGER who hadn't seen the kid until AFTER the kid fell in wouldn't be blamed for not jumping in, so what's the difference?

Other comments from that thread:

paragon schnitzophonic: "I wouldn't be surprised if everything related was purged because this sets a dangerous precedent. Like someone said in the Joe Paterno thread, a kid dies due to its parents' negligence, now bystanders can be punished for not immediately risking their lives to save the brat and the 'parents' get off scot-free because 'they suffered enough?' It takes the 'village' concept to ridiculous levels.

"One thing I read about the Newkirk case is that the idiot father who let his kid die took a f------ plea deal by testifying against Newkirk so he could get out of charges of gross negligence leading to death..."

Nemo: "Per the docket and briefs appended to a table decision on Westlaw, her conviction for child endangerment was affirmed on September 5, 2006, after her defense team tried to argue that the trial court erred in allowing Daddy Dearest not to testify. Gets tricky searching for court docs from Pennsylvania: the Keystone State is less than forthcoming when it comes to first names (or even first initials) for many defendants...."

navi8orgirl NLI: "Well, she would have long since done her time. And I bet she will never, ever date a single duh again (since it was her bf's kid, and he threw her under the bus by copping a plea for reckless endangerment and turning against her to save his own hide.)"

"I wouldn't be surprised if everything related was purged because this sets a dangerous precedent. Like someone said in the Joe Paterno thread, a kid dies due to its parents' negligence, now bystanders can be punished for not immediately risking their lives to save the brat and the 'parents' get off scot-free because 'they suffered enough?' It takes the 'village' concept to ridiculous levels.

You're singing my tune.

Now day cares seem to be expected to call the parents if a kid isn't dropped off, just to make sure the parents didn't leave it in a hot car.

Some humbling news for Donald Trump about immigrants:

What a surprise. The Islamic jive turkey from Turkey voted illegally.
