We need to forward this story to. I’m going to email it the PETA website right now.
When I lived in Lakeland, FL, Lake Parker was considered unsafe to swim in (for multiple reasons). It was suggested that the city post “Unsafe - No Swimming” signs. The city attorney said that such a sign would admit liability and put the city at risk of lawsuits should someone ignore the sign and get attacked by a gator, drown or get sick from the crappy water. He said the city had less liability by NOT informing people the lake was unsafe. The city followed his advice.
My wife would probably settle for $100. (just kidding honey!)

The money should come right out of the CA Department of Justice’s budget. How did this case ever see the time of day?
Last Tuesday, as President Obama got off the helicopter in front of the White House, he was carrying a baby piglet under each arm.
The squared away Marine guard snaps to attention, Salutes and says:
"Nice pigs, sir."
The President replies "These are not pigs...these are authentic Arkansas Razorback Hogs. I got one for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and I got one for Speaker of The House Nancy Pelosi."
The squared away Marine again snaps to attention, Salutes and says,
"Excellent trade, sir."
0.10 isn’t really drunk. Studies have shown that your reaction time at that BAC is not affected or is slightly better up to about 0.12. From that point on, it is safe to say there is impairment. But listen to MADD, 0.05 is drunk.
Either way, the guy shouldn’t have been awarded anything. When I ride in the dark on rural roads on my Harley, I would never think to sue if I hit an animal.
Wild pigs on Highway sounds like the drivers on the 5 and 405 freeway in LA.
how much do you have to drink to get a .10 alcohol reading?
thank you for the ping...
I agree with that! These drunk driving standards are a FRIGGIN' JOKE! It's turned into a major money-making gig now for Big Brother!
A drunk-driving charge can WRECK your life now, when in reality, you shouldn't even have been charged with ANYTHING in MANY circumstances!
YOU get hit by someone running a red light, but it turns out that you are over the legal limit... YOU go to jail, even though YOU had nothing to with the accident! Somebody steps out in front of your car, and you hit them... Doesn't matter if they were jay-walking, didn't look where they were going, or darted out in front of you... YOU go to jail for hitting a pedestrian while driving drunk!
Not that it ever happened to me, but it's gotten out of control. It's still not probably a bright idea to be driving a motorcycle while being buzzed, because you don't have much room for error. I drove around on one for a few years, before deciding I didn't want to get slaughtered by an unattentive or crappy driver!
Picture a large man on a huge black and chrome cruiser, dressed in jeans, a T-shirt, and leather gloves, puttering at maybe 25 mph down a quiet residential street, and in the fight of his life with a squirrel.
Accident used to be “acts of God”. Now, someone is responsible and must pay...........................
All depends on your size. Just type in “BAC chart” into some search engine (Google or such) and you can see.
thank you...
Around here people ‘embellish’ crossing signs the same way...
~Thank you for your service to the country ;)~
I do not know anyone who believes that the deer strike was anyone else's fault but mine. Wild life cannot be held at fault, and short of sterilizing the Earth, humans cannot be held accountable for the wildlife's behavior. A sign would not have changed the interaction one iota.
