They got shut out

The Bruins couldn't get their act together last night and got their ass handed to them by the Flames. They lost 4-0 and they are still in 5th place in the Atlantic. If the season ended today, they would not be one of the wildcard teams.

I don't want to be a downer here but if the Bruins keep playing the way they are playing, I won't have to worry about any post-season hockey games interfering with next season's baseball games...

Sometimes the judicial system in this country functions correctly and they do the right thing instead of the thing that all the people want them to do.

Today a judge dismissed all of the charges against the head of the Holyoke Soldiers Home. If you aren't aware, covid killed a lot of old guys in the home and they people needed someone to blame so they blamed him.

Fortunately, a judge looked at the charges, found no intent to commit a crime, no neglect that resulted in a crime and basically decided that, yea, covid killed a shitload of people but we can't hold the head of the old folks home accountable for what covid did.

I like it when the judicial system works like it should. It worked just fine in the Rittenhouse case and it worked just fine in this case.

Sometimes the judicial system in this country works like shit and it does the emotional thing instead of the right thing.

It looks like the guy who used his car to kill five people has a lengthy criminal history and was out on bail after he apparently conducted a test run on November 11th, running a woman over in a gas station parking lot. He was released on $1,000 bond for that little event

I don't care that all the touchy-feely people think requiring bail hurts people and we shouldn't make it hard for those poor criminals to get out of jail and wait for their trial date at home with their loved ones. No sir, I don't care one bit.

If you've got a scumbag who commits violent crimes, including running someone over with a car, it's a pretty good bet they have proven themselves to be a danger to society.

KEEP THEM IN JAIL for cripes sake.

There is one thing that the mayor of Springfield and I agree on - stop releasing scumbags on little or no bail.
