  • Just for fun I am going to take my knife out and cut up a few fruits and veggies, passive aggressive style..whatever that means.....Does this mean we can now arrest kids for pumpkin carving on Halloween? Charge them with assaulting a gourd?

  • The couple is in the process of going through a divorce, according to police.

    Gee, that isn't too suspicious sounding, is it?
    Can you say "Filing phony police report"?
    How about "False Arrest"?

    • The couple is in the process of going through a divorce

      That caught my eye too. If I were the cop that got the call, that would have pretty much told me all I needed to know.

      • I'm not even a cop and I figured that out! However, it is Connecticut, so there is no place for common sense in law enforcement.

  • This past Sunday I saw a bumper sticker on a car that read "Equal Rights For All Species." I looked to my wife and asked "what does that even mean?" Guess I found at least part of the answer. . .

  • If stabbing up a watermelon is a criminal offense what happens to the person that actually gets around to eating it?

  • "Carved the watermelon in a passive-aggressive manner"? Is that a specific violation of Connecticut law, or were the cops just making it up as they went along? If she wanted to accuse him of threatening her with a knife...why didn't she do that? Law & Order in the Bureaucratic Age.
