*** Next time, we go behind the scenes as lawmakers plan the implementation of braille bumps on roads that will allow blind citizens to drive by "reading" the bumps. In discussion are braille bumps that say things like, "pedestrian crossing ahead" and other useful tips. When questioned by opponents of the law, lawmakers had this to say: "We are not concerned with the safety ramifications, because blind people are very good at reading braille, and frequently have heightened senses as a result of their blindness. Because of this, we feel that they will be in a better position to 'read' these bumps and know where they are going and what to do". Lawmakers would not comment on a question of whether a person being run over would be mistaken as a braille exclamation point.

A small-scale test of this system has been performed in a remote town in Louisiana, however, the drivers were unable to distinguish the braille bumps due to the condition of Louisiana roads.***

Damn. You beat me. I was going to post an article on that.

But yeah, WTF? Rape away the gay? What? He's just trying to justify his urges to rape people.

I think it's egregious that he got out of doing any jail time and is still allowed visitation rights to his own kids.

And while it's kinda hilarious that his visits have to be supervised by his mother, that's also sad because she probably helped make this guy believe that he can rape the gay out of children.

Video: Laughing thug walks away with suspended sentence after vicious attack on dog filmed on phone in Middleton, Rochdale, Greater Manchester - Manchester Evening News

The saddest thing is, that dog yelps and looks at this fat twat and is still loyal, he's wondering what the fuck he's done wrong. The dog bites him back and the authorities can't put the poor thing down quick enough.

Sadistic cunt deserves to have his spine broken.
