Texas yet again, Starr County Sheriff arrested Lizelle Herrera, for murder, after she had a miscarriage in hospital, .medical staff reported her to the police.
Still not a lot of information about this, but from what is known, it's very much WTF.

"Guns overtook car crashes to become the leading cause of death for US children and teenagers in 2020, new research shows.Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that over 4,300 young Americans died of firearm-related injuries in 2020.

While suicides contributed to the toll, the data shows that homicides form the majority of gun-related deaths.

More than 390 million guns are owned by US civilians."

It's not going that well, is it.

Saw this earlier in the week, and thought WTF

That is disgusting. There is no excuse at all for this. I could say a whole lot more .

I am ashamed to admit that this is the county I live in and this beach is about 40 minutes away from us.

There are a lot of reasons why we are moving away and people that act like this are one of them

It's certainly a terrible tragedy to see such a wonderful creature die, but trying to push the dolphin back into the water does seem like a logical thing to try to do, so that part doesn't seem bad. According to the article, you should NOT try to do that - just leave it alone and call for help, but the instinct to push back into the water seems innocent enough (that thought would certainly cross my mind). Trying to ride on it - that's f**ing mental.

Agreed, I would think to try and push it back in. Trying to ride it, well, I could see a lot of melons doing that back in the UK also

This beach is also a nature park and there are signs all over about finding animals/ mammals in distress and who to contact. It used to be a great place to fish or just enjoy a day out until it turned into a party beach a few years back.

We stopped going when a gas company built a huge plant right in front of it

Texas is rather famous for it's lack of 'zoning' or 'planning control', I've heard. This sounds like a good example of it.

Actually most of the gulf coast have plants and refineries along the coast. It's not pretty. We usually walk along the quieter beaches without the ugly views

OK this is really WTF in Israel. But, it’s about an American family, so the stupid is from the US.

I mean, I wouldn’t pick up an unexploded shell. But if I did, I wouldn’t pack it in my luggage. And if I did pack it in my luggage, I wouldn’t attempt to board a flight. And if I did attempt to board a flight with it, I wouldn’t do it in Israel.

That might be the WTF of the year !

Accuse me of being insensitive if you must, but this seems like a missed opportunity for a Darwin Award - to take out yourself and kids with an act of supreme stupidity.

Here’s an everyday story of country folk, just a few miles from my home in fact.
