THE "WTF were they thinking" thread!

How in the world are any of those things mitigating factors?

Obvious you're rhetorical, but it's just excuses to justify the plea-deal factory which would happen regardless.

It often takes the system quite awhile to realize that convicted serial sex offenders are "serial" because of this, much less how hard it is to catch them in the first place. Even rapes get pled down to assault, DV, etc. When looking at background in convictions, it's not telling.

Most telling is the guy threw out his P.C. - no doubt child crap on there and esp targeting that young, of a serious pedo nature. It's a travesty that he's not required to register as a sex offender. More than anything, that's what I would have pushed for.

Not gonna watch the video. I can't even begin to imagine wrapping my head around that without seeing it. Pretty sure seeing it isn't gonna help. FFS...

Oof. Flaming hot sounds like a bad idea.

Might as well rub some icey hot on your junk before you hop in too.

True story from childhood: Out camping, mom accidentally grabbed the icy hot instead of the toothpaste (same bin) and brushed her teeth with the stuff. Took a little bit for the realization and panic to set in, surprisingly. Kind of makes me wonder if it doesn't taste like mint. But with her... it could taste like motor oil and it still might take awhile.

But yeah, remember that story come april fools.

We put Icy Hot on our dad's toothbrush once. Thanks for reminding me of that.

Edit: No it was Anbesol, and I put it on my mom's toothbrush.

'Mad' Mike Hughes dies in rocket crash trying to prove Earth is flat
The earth isn't flat, but now he is.

BARSTOW, Calif. ? A California man who said he wanted to fly to the edge of outer space to see if the world is round has died after his home-built rocket blasted off into the desert sky and plunged back to earth.

?Mad? Mike Hughes was killed on Saturday afternoon after his rocket crashed on private property near Barstow, California.

Waldo Stakes, a colleague who was at the rocket launch, said Hughes, 64, was killed.

The Science Channel said on Twitter it had been chronicling Hughes? journey and that ?thoughts & prayers go out to his family & friends during this difficult time.?

?It was always his dream to do this launch,? the Twitter message said.

Hughes also was a limousine driver, who held the Guinness world record for ?longest limousine ramp jump,? for jumping 103 feet in a Lincoln Town Car stretch limousine, at a speedway in 2002.

A video on TMZ.com showed the rocket taking off, with what appears to be a parachute tearing off during the launch. The steam-powered rocket streaks upward, then takes around 10 seconds to fall straight back to earth. Shrieks can be heard as the rocket plows into the desert.

Darn, this guy already has a lock on the 2020 Darwin award, I’m saving my stuff for next year.

I'm actually confused by tossing the P.C. Tossing it seems like the stupidest course of action if there's evidence on it. If a hard drive could send someone to the bad prison, the logical course of action is to completely destroy the magnetic platter. A secure electronic wipe (DBAN) followed by physical destruction of the platter.

I didn't find anything to suggest there was a search warrant or anything. I guess sniffing little girls panties isn't probable cause.

I wonder if he'll get his job back if/when the complaint is dismissed.
