"What is wrong with people?"
My brother says "Everyone is crazy, some just hide it better than others" There's a lot of truth in that.

The rumor I herd was the judge/friend was um giving attention to the sheriff's underage daughter.

I have to wonder why someone would want to watch a video like that. No reply is expected. Just sayin

The video title didn't include the gory details. The video didn't include any photos of anything gory. It was basically a video about a "true crime" story. I don't normally get into "true crime" stuff (books, videos, shows, etc...). But I do occasionally find some of those stories fascinating. Human nature and broken human nature can be fascinating.

I do like shows like "Criminal Minds," "Bones," "NCIS," etc....

Many, many people are into true crime and gory horror movies (the Saw series, etc...). I wouldn't think you'd find it that surprising or odd.

The wikipedia page about it.

Hmmm the sheriff and judge had lunch together just hours before the sheriff killed him . Very strange .

What's wrong with people?

Well, a whole bunch of stuff from what I see...

Something I feel is obvious is the effect of population growth.
1960 had the earth's population at 3 Billion, 64 years later, 7.5 B...

We seem to get better and better at getting on each other's nerves and expanding the "limits" of behavior.

The internet has made it crazy quick and easy to spread good, bad and made up stories.
We (me included) don't spend enough time outdoors or talking in person with our neighbors and communities.

My knothole likely looks different than yours.

Here's another "what is wrong with people" moment. This woman does what is about the same as loudly ranting and raving about her food in a restaurant and then sending it back to be remade. Apparently, she's not familiar with how that works. And pulling the "I want to see a supervisor" card as well as failing to comply with a request as simple as "can I see some id" wasn't ever going to go anywhere good.

^ Why should she have to show ID? Wouldn't that be interfering with her vot, er, driver's rights?

Cop doesn't understand she may be a sovereign citizen and doesn't have to show ID or follow antiquated laws.

That was painful to watch. I don’t know how she makes it through life every day, being that stupid.

Stupid has a way of catching up , it may take time and some escape but most will fall victim of stupid .

Good thing Derek Chauvin is locked up. He would have dealt with this situation in a different way.

I hope when that idiot showed up in front of a judge they threw the book at her. What a waste of law enforcement time having to deal with that ignorant "self-entitled" fool. I am so sick and tired of seeing these people pull this crap and then when arrested cry every "ism" out there to shift responsibility for their actions.

Me either. I would never have lasted as a police officer.

I don't watch a lot of TV, but I do watch some. On top of that, the missus likes murder mysteries. So we do see a fair amount of "cop-y" shows. When I see the police/detectives interviewing folks that don't seem to give a damn, and are mouthy, I've always thought "Certainly most folks are not that stupid". But with the advent of body cams and the fact that so much body cam footage is posted on YT these days, it's amazing to me how many people actually ARE THAT STUPID.

Everyone, regardless of race, color, religion, creed, IQ, needs to watch the following video.
"Chris Rock - How not to get your aß kicked by the police!"
