ONGOING CRIME BREAKING NEWS!

Starting in January 2020, this thread is about the news as it breaks!

Bernard Madoff says he is dying and is asking a judge for compassionate release from prison, where he is serving 150 years for orchestrating the largest Ponzi scheme in history, according to a Wednesday federal court filing.

Madoff, 81, has terminal kidney failure and a life expectancy of less than 18 months. When the court sentenced him, “it was clear that Madoff’s 150-year prison sentence was symbolic for three reasons: retribution, deterrence, and for the victims,” the court filing states. “This Court must now consider whether keeping Madoff incarcerated … is truly in furtherance of statutory sentencing goals and our society’s value and understanding of compassion.”

Madoff said in the request for compassionate release that he “does not dispute the severity of his crimes.”

I try really hard not to judge. None of us knows what someone else has been through or true circumstances. We all have animals or most of us and love them dearly. However, I have seen people in my life who treat their pet better than their minor child. They are animals as much as we love them. One of my mellowest most careful cats ever about took my grandson's eye out when he was crawling and surprised her. Not a child that did not already know now to grab fur, etc. either... She was very patient and loving but you can surprise them.

I read this and I have a real problem. Love your pet, I get it, but you have a baby. I love pets, I do, I thin all here know it, but I do have a problem when the pet takes over the human child.

One of our best loved dogs ever and we had many when I was a child, was the one eyed dog I mentioned earlier had several lives. He was the town tramp in another small town--I mean everyone knew him, he was owned by someone in town that owned two of the few businesses there. Great dog. After the son got married, the dog lived with them in the same small town and son worked with dad in the family business. He spent a few years with son and his wife and still traveled the little town. One day the son and his wife decide to have their first child. This great dog never hurt the baby, however, they started going through everything baby chewed up. Diapers, diaper bags, toys, anything baby related. We live an hour away and my dad bowled with grandpa (original owners of the dog, then their son) and we took the dog. Who was well known to the little town and more. Best dog or one of them we ever had. Probably would have never hurt the baby but they took no chances. We had him for years. This one eyed mutt. Love of their lives too.

I am having one of those days--anyhow, I say this to lead up to this article:

There is nothing about this that doesn't mean someone doesn't like pets. I've had a few. This woman's just stupid.

I know. I was just saying, probably in some cases, that there are "reasons" they give. In this one, she "claims" she was trying to find the dog a home after a previous close call/incident. If even true, I say if you have an infant and it came that close, love your dog or not, straight to the pound, or temporarily to an adult household until you can find an answer, you do not take chances.

But yes, she sounds like it is nothing like that and stupid may more closely apply.
 
Children no less, and how many just since June. You could not pay me enough to live in cities these sizes. I used to want to see some of these larger cities years ago, I no way feel like that any longer.

Very tragic but what an absolutely stupid couple of perps. How dumb can one be? They would be in the all time running. Why don't you just leave a trail of not bread crumbs but boulders that lead right to you. DUH.

Good for him. What a class act and show of grace. Imo his doing this may show her a lesson she may not learn another way. He is taking a higher road than she did and I hope she learns from that and appreciates his doing so. Jmo.
