My "WTF?" story of the day...

I mean, for crying out loud, where are the parents?

2 Florida children arrest after stealing 22 guns from store, police say

Two Florida children were arrested Wednesday after authorities said they burglarized a business stealing 22 guns and ammunition, according to authorities.

At around 3 a.m. Cape Coral police responded to a call about a commercial burglary at the store Guns 4 Less,said Sgt. Julie Green of CCPD.

Police arrested two brothers, an 11-year-old and a 14-year-old, who were near the store, Green said. Officers reportedly saw the children running from the store armed with multiple handguns, ammunition, magazines, and long guns, Green said.

Parents, grade school children, elementary school teachers and the mouse. Such a brave gallant leader, is DeSatan. Tackles all the hard stuff... And if nothing is there, he makes it up.

I tried to find a link, but this just seems wrong to me. UPDATE, FOUND THE LINK! https://www.forbes.com/sites/laurabegleybloom/2018/09/27/revealed-the-15-most-dangerous-places-to-live/?sh=2d45b2704706

"You won’t believe where the United States falls on the list of least safe countries for expats — both the global ranking and the female global ranking. The U.S. ranks among the 15 most dangerous places to live in the world. According to InterNations, expats are not convinced that the “American Dream” still exists, with just 67% rating their personal safety positively in the U.S. That number is 15 percentage points less than the global average of 82%.

“Expats’ satisfaction with safety and security in the USA is getting worse every year," says Malte Zeeck, founder and co-CEO of InterNations. "It lost 20 places from 2016 (31st on the list) to 2017 (51st), and the country fell a further five places in 2018 (to 56th on the list)."

16. I think the parents name and picture should be shown in juvenile cases.

I know we want to protect kids and in some cases that is valid but when they do adult crimes, I think they should lose that or the parents pictures instead for doing terrible job parenting.
