  • South Carolina couple violate safe haven law

    Parents of abandoned newborn taken into custody:

    21-year-old Harold Vermal O’Neal and an unidentified 17-year-old mother were arrested for leaving their newborn at a fire station. The problem was they left the newborn outside wrapped in a towel inside of a diaper box. When the baby was discovered its body temperature was at 88 degrees.

    South Carolina’s safe haven law states that a baby can be left at a fire station but someone has to take physical custody of the baby.

    I do lay partial blame on the parents for not being smart enough to realize that the baby could have died due to exposure but the safe haven laws from state to state are so varying it’s hard for anyone to that wants to safely give their baby to a safe haven to know what their states procedure is.

    A federal safe haven law is needed and needed badly.

  • SC man arrested after MySpace hook up

    Man Charged with Misconduct after Myspace Meeting:

    25-year-old Kendrick Smith of Greenwood, South Carolina has been arrested for hooking up with a 13-year-old girl he met on MySpace.

    The girl was reported as a runaway and police found her at a local supermarket. She told police she met Smith over MySpace and that Smith took her to his house. It was there she performed oral sex on him. Being the classy guy that he is he then dropped her off at the supermarket.

    They might start calling him the 24-hour supermarket in prison because he’ll be open all the time.

  • 21-year-old rapes 14-year-old he met over MySpace

    Gadsden man charged with rape of teen he met on MySpace:

    21-year-old Jared Heath Gaskey has been arrested in the rape of a 14-year-old he met over MySpace.

    Gaskey left his home in Gadsden, Alabama and drove to Greenville, South Carolina and picked her up at middle school. Then he drove her all the way back to Gadsden. While in Gadsden Gaskey received a call from Greenville police informing him that the girl was 14 and to turn himself in. Gaskey went to his local police department but it was closed. So rather than calling the police he went back to his place and had sex with the 14-year-old girl.

    Not surprisingly the dude is a Juggalo.

  • Why not just wear the Nazi flag?

    Why not just wear the Nazi flag?

    Suspended ‘Dixie chicks’ defend attire:

    Cute play on words CNN has going on there. Anyway, 35 South Carolina high school students were suspended for wearing a t-shirt that shows chickens hatching from eggs decorated with the Confederate flag and says, “Southern chicks, better than the rest”. The student interviewed by the AP said…

    “I had no idea in the world anyone would be offended by this,”

    Oh, I don’t know. How about Blacks, Hispanics, Jews, Catholics, and anyone else the Klan finds questionable? That’s who would be offended by it.

    Talk all you want about Southern Pride. When you say that and display a Confederate Flag along with it, it’s like saying “White Power”. If you want to be proud of your Southern heritage, that’s fine, but that flag has stood for slavery since its inception and has been adopted by racist and white supremacist hate groups.

    In the eyes of the rest of the country, you’re just enforcing an old stereotype that people from the south are racist rednecks. Be proud that you’re from the south, but be ashamed of its past transgressions.
