If the doors were locked, they may not have known how to disengage the locks. Or that they were in danger. ---

Or they may have been told to stay in the car, and were obedient; or by the time they realized their danger, they were too dazed by heat to do anything about it. ---

If the mother of those kids is in their lives, I hope she divorces or otherwise evicts that loser from her life, for their own safety if not her own. Assuming, of course, she’s not as much of a loser as he is. ---

Well, mom was apparently at work and not day drinking, which sounds promising, at least. But he’s looking at eight felony charges, so he probably won’t be around for a while regardless of her feelings. I note that, when the cops first arrived, he tried to claim that it wasn’t his car or his kids. Super class act there. The judge speaks truth: > “You are presumed innocent, but what the police are alleging could have resulted in, you know, the kind of story that gets picked up on international news wires. Man goes into porno store leaving his four children to die in their car,” the judge said. ---

Yes, promising, though who knows how invested in the relationship she is? Hopefully, if she’s been making excuses, “staying together for the children,” etc., she’ll wake the hell up. ---

The guy was drunk. I’m glad that kids were found hot but alive in the car rather than killed in a wreck. ---

What the hell is wrong with that airline? And, that one appears to be different that THIS Delta pilot who was arrested, in the cockpit, with alcohol in his system. The interesting thing here is that the cop gave him the opportunity to not get arrested, to just walk away and pretend like it didn’t happen. The cop, already assuming/knowing the he had likely been drinking, first asked the pilot if he felt okay and suggested that maybe he should call in sick and take the day off (though I’m not sure if I agree with him doing that).

I’m pretty sure it had ‘antivaxxer’ or ‘anti-vaxxer’ in the page’s name. Red background with white text, followed by profiles of anti-vaxxers who were vocal about their opposition to vaccines, who died or were hospitalised. ---

> [@Joey\_P](#): > > The cop, already assuming/knowing the he had likely been drinking, first asked the pilot if he felt okay and suggested that maybe he should call in sick and take the day off (though I’m not sure if I agree with him doing that). That definitely wasn’t okay. The cop was obviously trying to cut the guy a break for whatever reason, ignoring a serious crime and behavior that if not corrected could potentially lead to a tragedy. A pilot who is willing to operate a commercial airline while drunk has a serious drinking problem that needs to be addressed, even more so than drunks in other occupations that don’t have so many lives at risk. ---

Yeah, not OK at all, but the pilot’s refusal to take the easy out moves him from “poor decision-making due to addiction” squarely into the “incredibly stupid MF” category. ---

Agreed. That stupidity might have been exacerbated by inebriation but it was stupid nonetheless. ---

That’s been happening around me as well. And, yes, someone’s going to get themselves shot. One person already mentioned to the news that the homeowner, woken up in the middle of the night to, what sounded like, his house being broken into, grabbed his gun as he went to see what was going on. I know it’ll be different from state to state, but I wonder if a homeowner would be acquitted (or even charged) if they shot someone that a reasonable person would believe was attempting to break into their house and was likely to harm them. This, IMO, seems like a great place for the “I feared for my life” defense.
