Dio, at it again and raising the bar

[Bearflag70]

Do we really need to do this again?

@Diogenes_the_Cynic

I’m not a liar.

@Bearflag70

You argued that it was murder and criminal negligence per se.

@Diogenes the Cynic

No, I argued that it was illegal, per se to leave a baby in a car.

@Diogenes the Cynic

Parents who do that crap should be jailed for life. They are murderers.

@Diogenes the Cynic

Leaving a baby in a car is automatically criminally negligent by statute.

@Diogenes_the_Cynic

No, the statutes against leaving babies in cars were the only ones I was ever referring to. … I never made a claim about the level of penalty. I just said it was illegal.

@Bearflag70

You argued, “They are murderers.” Now you claim you didn’t really mean it. :dubious:

You argued, “Parents who do that crap should be jailed for life.” Now, you say you “never made any claim at all about the level of penalty.” :dubious:

@Brown_Eyed_Girl

Sure you did. Besides the calling the parents murderers, you indicated that anybody who didn’t want to throw parents in jail for leaving their babies in cars wanted it to be legal.

Well, here’s the Texas Penal Code on Class C Misdemeanor, which is what intentionally or knowingly leaving a child in a car in Texas represents:

Now, how was it you were arguing for jail time for this infraction when you knew all along that there was no jail time involved?
