What an idiot. He could have just waited for one to actually happen.

He didn't wanna go home early in a box, he wanted to go home early to play Xbox.

The Fortnite Lego grind is real

He shouldn't go to jail for this. But get some therapy.

Sending children to jail doesn’t help anyone.

[-] Everythingispenguins@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

So did he get to go home early?

If you ever wonder what Florida Man was like in his youth

In his defense, it was probably 50-50 that one was gonna happen anyway

I must be incredibly jaded, because this is kinda funny. A terrible, stupid idea, sure, but reading about it is a bit funny.

Hoax call... Child arrested. Actual school shooting, cops checks notes sit outside and wait until the shooter runs out of ammo.

Police are there to wield authority, not take risks.

[-] Adalast@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

The Supreme Court has ruled that polie are under no obligation to prevent anyone from breaking any law. Their only responsibility is to enforce the law once it has been broken and apprehend the criminal. A cop can literally stand and watch you stab someone a hundred times while he eats a box of donuts and sips at his coffee, as long as he arrests him when he's done, he has fulfilled his duty and is not subject to any legal recourse for not preventing the death.

Never use a cellphone to prank 911.

One in 50 Americans are born on the autism scale. Did you know that in Florida it’s one out of 5?

[-] UFO64@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago
[-] shasta@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

I had no idea they were so much better at testing for autism in Florida

[-] Adalast@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

There's not. We just use their politicians as a sample and extrapolate from there. /s

[-] Pratai@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

Care to explain a what you mean by this? Nothing in the article suggest that the kid has autism. Unless it’s that you think autism is something to joke about- which is in VERY poor taste.
