You make good points. Maybe he did it before traffic was heavy, and deposited the baby so it rolled down to the canal. Still horrible.

Should have just put the baby in a little basket and let it float away. That usually works out.

A few years ago, a woman came into my store looking for the biggest wicker basket we sold. I pointed one out and asked her what she needed it for since someone came in a few hours earlier and asked me the same question.  
She said it was for a “moses themed baby shower”. I remember thinking “wait what? what are you planning to do with the baby? you know what the basket was for, right?” It reminds me of when [Michael Scott was watching Million Dollar Baby](https://youtu.be/UcqK4vypbC8?t=70).

There was a pediatric radiation oncologist at Ohio State awhile back who received a one-year prison sentence for accessing a bunch of child pornography on his computer.

It might be advisable _not_ to do a Google search for “Moses basket” and “Lusitania sinking”.

I was pretty careful around my girlfriend in HS, whose favorite thing to say was “disarm rapists”.

The assailant is a nasty little screw up all right. He seems old enough for their court systems to nail him good.

A pair of 13-year-old girls [beat a man to death](https://atlantablackstar.com/2024/07/28/13-year-old-girl-sucker-punches-u-s-marshal-during-pretrial-hearing-on-murder-charges-in-connection-with-2023-beating-death-of-64-year-old-d-c-man/) as a 12-year-old records the attack on her phone. They claimed they were forced to do it by a 4th person who has not been identified, but their nonchalant attitude afterwards seems to belie the “forced” aspect.

One of the girls sucker-punched a deputy US marshal in court. That’s probably not going to help her case much.

I doubt that altercation ended well for her.

I suspect you are correct, since according to the article that incident was “leading to her arrest and removal on a stretcher”.

In other news, the 12-year-old who recorded the deadly beating done by the 13-year-olds had other problems outside of this incident.

> The 12-year-old girl faces charges after she was shot in the leg in an unrelated incident at her home in late March before she was arrested. The injury she sustained was non-life-threatening.

Just a lot of fun going around there.

(Meanwhile the NY Post headlined it as “Louisiana mayor accused of raping a minor one week after her resignation” which makes it sound like it happened afterward)

Firstly, ick. The level of ick may depend on how “juvenile” the juvenile in question was which does not appear to be being reported, but still: ick.

Secondly, for those feverishly looking for a political party to tar with this particular brush, Roberts is an independent. Sorry.

Thirdly, she (and her attorney) protest her innocence. We’ll see.
