Midday open thread: Rick Perry is going to dance, idiotic parents and RIP, Gene Wilder
- Today’s comic by Jen Sorensen is The University of Chicago guide to free speech:
- Offered without comment:
Rick Perry is ready to take his Texas two-step on a national stage.
The former Texas governor will join the cast of the wildly popular Dancing With The Stars, Entertainment Tonight reports.
- Good God. This child’s idiot mother and her idiot boyfriend should be charged:
Fawley has been going to the popular spot for years with friends to swim, to relax and — when he’s feeling adventurous — to make the daring 27-foot plunge from the Devonshire railroad bridge into the water below. [...]
Fawley was shocked, then, to look up last week and see a child being tossed off the bridge into the river.
The teen had his smartphone out and managed to record the child’s terrifying plunge. [...]
The boy’s mother can be heard cheering as her child plummets toward the water — which, Fawley said, ranges from about eight to 12 feet deep, depending on how much it’s rained recently on the Olympic Peninsula.
The sound of the child’s body smacking the water is also audible. [...]
“We all started freaking out and yelling at her, ‘You can’t do that!” Jones recounted. “She said, ‘He’s my kid, and it’s none of your business.'” [...]
Steve Shumate, a spokesman for the Grays Harbor County Sheriff’s Office, told The Post that the local prosecutor’s office is still deciding whether to charge the mother with child endangerment, a class C felony.
