I do believe it is related, as are the assaults on the officers in the Mother's Day brawl I posted about in another thread, and the (now fired) Subway employee who cheered those who'd murdered the Mississippi officers. Subway Employee Fired for Posts Celebrating Police Deaths - ABC...

There are lots of great suggestions here already. I definitely agree that making friends with your neighbors will help. In addition, make sure you swap phone numbers/emails/instant messaging names with the neighbors you trust, so that if you do hear or see something suspicious, you can notify...

Some of those who re-offend because they want to go back, seem to feel a sense of camaraderie with their fellow inmates. I can see how if you come from an abusive or neglectful home, that might seem very familiar, and therefore, safe. Lots of kids join gangs for a sense of belonging, a sense of...

I agree with you all. @Gabe yes, it's probably one of the rougher beaches/areas, and does attract a certain crowd, but there were families there, trying to have a nice celebration with their Moms. There's a certain mentality also of going to another person or group's 'turf' and starting...

I mentioned the party houses in my neighborhood in my post above. Apparently the other night, they were in full party mode, and someone sucker punched another's friend. I think the friend lives here, too, but it was mentioned by a member of the online group, and she didn't mention the friend's...

Awww, yes, that is oftentimes the case, unfortunately for we females!

Yes, there's a difference between goodhearted teasing, and bullying/tormenting someone. It seems nowadays, no one is allowed to get their feelings hurt, without it becoming a federal case. That's what happens in real life, though, and it's best to learn how to roll with the (figurative) punches...

If people don't watch the media, or click the links to their stories, they will be forced to change how they cover the 'news', what they present, and how they present it. I no longer watch the news, because I got tired of the fluff, their spin on stories, and didn't agree with what topics they...

That's funny, I wonder if it was a new relationship, so was the first time the neighbor had heard it? It helps when you're in a stable neighborhood, where people stay a while, so you can get to know them. That way, you know what to expect, and recognize different signs/sounds/activities. It...

Here's a story from a few years back...so sweet. All it takes it a small gesture. This didn't cost her anything but a little time and effort, and I'm sure it made a huge difference in this boy's life. The Inspiring Story of What an Arizona Cop Did to a Teen She Found Walking 9 Miles | Video |...

When I was working with foster children and CPS cases, I saw way too many children going back into homes that were, in my opinion, questionable. It's also sad how many parents farm out their children to relatives and don't take care of them, but still collect the money from the government, which...

I used to go to this beach when I was growing up in the Boston area. It's such a shame when things like this happen, especially on Mother's Day. I think part of the problem is selfishness. Many these days don't care about anyone but themselves. They also obviously don't think there should be any...

I'm sure alcohol was involved. He was only 25 years old. This goes to show that police are regular people, and sometimes people do stupid things, and they end badly. Prayers to his family. It's obvious the chief was choked up during the video :(.Police Officer Dies After Attempted Cook-Out Stunt...

This is a song I came across on Facebook and had to share. Here's the writer/singer's name and his statement about the song: Nick Tyrrel This is a new song that I wrote about a month ago called 'Thin Blue Line'. It's a true story about a police officer that I met at the park one night. It's a...

Unfortunately, many people in this situation regard children as property, as well as income producers. They often live in subsidized housing, get food stamps, and often (especially if the children are born drug-addicted, or have issues due to the parents' prior drug use), are receiving SSI and...

I also couldn't watch a video of this. There are so many rage-filled and out of control people in this world it's really ridiculous. I can't imagine any circumstances where this behavior would be acceptable, and that the mother stood by and allowed it says a lot about her.

Here's another uplifting story. It's about a police officer who dresses up as superheroes for a police-related organization, and he drove 11 hours to visit a child fighting lymphatic cancer. Texas Cop Drives 11 Hours, Dresses as Superman to Surprise Boy With Cancer

And, if you enjoy uplifting stories of animal rescues, or just plain cute animals, this is a good site to join, or just visit regularly. I'm posting a link to a particular story, but I visit the site frequently. This is a story about firefighters who responded to a fire, thinking there was an...

Here's another story of ducklings in need, being helped by humans. This time it was a road crew, who saw 2 duck moms in distress, and tracked down the problem, and rescued the ducklings ;)Workers rescue seven ducklings
