@Girlpatriot1974 Thanks for sharing more information on this. 👍

🚨#BREAKING Outrage is erupting after an 11-YEAR-OLD BOY was stopped by police, FINGERPRINTED, and ordered to court for riding his dirt bike to go FISHING...

...300 FEET FROM HIS OWN HOUSE!!!

They TOWED HIS BIKE with a city WRECKER.

An officer warned him he'd get a WARRANT if he didn't show up, he'll have to miss school for it.

His name is Cade, he's 11 years old, a sixth grader in Oviedo, Florida.

His dad helped him start a little summer business selling squirrel tables and Cade worked all summer long, he saved up $900 and he bought that bike himself.

An 11-year-old entrepreneur, in 2026.

We should be putting this kid on a FREAKING POSTER!!!!

On Labor Day, Cade grabbed his fishing pole and rode toward the pond at Sweetwater Park, he was on the shoulder of the road, about 300 FEET from his house.

Why not the sidewalk?

His answer: "If I go on the sidewalk, I can only go 10mph, and also it's going to scare the pedestrians."

An 11-year-old thinking about pedestrians' safety!

Then, an Oviedo police officer pulled him over.

Asked him for his license, his registration, his proof of insurance.

THE KID IS ELEVEN.

Then they fingerprinted him.

Wrote him a citation with a mandatory court date and told this little boy, on camera, "You have to show up, OK? Or they're going to put out a warrant for you."

Then they called in the city tow truck!!!!!!

His dad's words: "They called in the city wrecker for this little, tiny electric bike and winched it on up there."

Next Tuesday, Cade has to skip school to stand in front of a judge.

Yes TECHNICALLY the police have a point under Florida law, but where was the common sense?!!!!

Cade now says: "Now I'm kind of scared to ride my dirt bike."

A Virginia mom got a criminal record for letting her son walk to a pond, two little girls in Pennsylvania got hauled into court over a broken swing, and now an 11-year-old in Florida gets printed for riding to go fishing.

We are criminalizing childhood in this country.

Even THE TOWN MAYOR called Cade a "good kid." She's right.

...and for the love of God, somebody give this kid his bike back.

WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!

@WallStreetApes If I had a child with all these "complications", I would believe euthanizing in this case to be a mercy to end their suffering.
The argument of burden on the government and universal healthcare is something else to debate.

@dan_aykroyd I saw this movie as a kid.
I couldn't understand some of it, but it was funny enough to leave a lasting memory.
Another movie was Stay Tuned, with John Ritter.
I thought they were both awesome.

[C,J @Blast3d]

@ginamilan_ @usatodayent Love to hear it.

[C,J @Blast3d]

@PlayStation Wish y'all didn't do this to Wolverine.
I hope you lose any future marvel contracts.

@theWellRedMage Didn't get far in 9, wasn't vibing with it.
A friend said it was good, but I would replace it with FF5 or FF8.
Another list I'd like to see would be 'Squaresoft games' including saga frontier 2, Xenogears, legend of mana and chrono trigger.

@w_terrence Personal attacks never win against accomplishments.

@MilitaryCooI The room was smokier every time I had to do this.
Gas chamber was just another day.
I coughed, nose ran, eyes watered, skin was irritated, but it only lasted about 5 min after leaving the room.
Plenty of "worse" things to have to participate in.
Soldiers creed✅
I miss it tbh.

[C,J @Blast3d]

@PlayStation That's a pathetic animation in recognition of his blades heating up. Do better.

[C,J @Blast3d]

@estvoxpopuli @Mordred00 @specialopsmag If you say so.

[C,J @Blast3d]

@estvoxpopuli @Mordred00 @specialopsmag Also, using his GI-bill to continue his education and go to an art college to then become an established actor, does give back to his country.

[C,J @Blast3d]

@estvoxpopuli @Mordred00 @specialopsmag Maybe he receives benefits, that is irrelevant.
People who get injured in basic, still receive benefits.
They showed up and they put in effort.
They volunteered, passed physical/mental exams and were moving forward in a career to serve their country.
Injury doesn't trump intent.

[C,J @Blast3d]

@dickhertz176 @specialopsmag It's not a "modern definition".
"Opinions are like elbows", heard that before?
I stated a fact, you stated an opinion.
You should be able to understand the difference between them: simply being 'combat.'
Name-calling is childish, and doesn't help your argument.

[C,J @Blast3d]

@elonmusk Don't believe that guy who wrote the book, he doesn't seem like he knows what he's talking bout. 😅

[C,J @Blast3d]

@CuteCatsMagic One off

[ThePersistence @ScottPresler]

HOLY COW

In a massive win for the 2nd Amendment, the DOJ sent out a memo stating that

the federal ban on handgun sales to 18 to 20-year-olds is unconstitutional & unenforceable.

The DOJ says handguns are the “quintessential self-defense weapon.”

Share this with EVERY 2nd Amendment advocate you know.

[C,J @Blast3d]

@estvoxpopuli @Mordred00 @specialopsmag I'm 100% certain he feels shame for not deploying.
You sound ignorant trying to discredit his achievements just because he didn't deploy.
He passed ITB and his MOS course, had an 'accident', pushed through that pain to do a ruck march, and then was discharged.

[C,J @Blast3d]

@estvoxpopuli @thatoneguy46 @specialopsmag A veteran is anyone who serves and honorably separates.
A combat veteran is someone who deploys to a 'combat zone'.
For length of time in combat zones, service members get stripes and medals/ribbons. If you don't meet the time requirements, you don't get credit.
