I always told my sons that your 20s are for self-discovery — no kids before marriage and no marriage before 30. (Only one of them listened though.)

Dude is getting charged for running, so shouldn't they be charged for chasing?

Is it good or bad that an agency that is technically involved in law enforcement is using ideas from the serial killer playbook?
A female ICE thug posing as a distressed motorist in neighborhoods of Brooklyn Park (63% non-white), MN, to entrap good samaritans. This is the same MO Ted Bundy used to lure his victims to their demise.
