152316__bad_lStudy describes the failed interventions that bring bad boys together:

“For boys who had been through the juvenile justice system, compared to boys with similar histories without judicial involvement, the odds of adult judicial interventions increased almost seven-fold,” says study co-author Richard E. Tremblay, a professor of psychology, pediatrics and psychiatry at the Université de Montréal and a researcher at the Sainte-Justine University Hospital Research Center.

The “death with dignity” crowd in the US is in a state over law enforcement’s efforts to quash would-be Jack Kervorkians:

The internet is being kept under close watch by law enforcement to find more victims to back up their dubious prosecutions in Georgia and Arizona. Thus this is a time to be extra cautious and discreet. At trial, the defendants will be rigorously defended.

This harassment is most likely a right-wing backlash to our movement’s law reform successes in Oregon, Washington and Montana. We shall proceed.

Intruder alert: Milton

My fellow Miltonians: Lock your doors, draw your blinds. Scam artists, or worse, are about.

From an e-mail, yesterday:

Public Service Announcement
Town of Milton

There have been recent episodes on the south shore of individuals claiming to be Public Works employees in an attempt to gain access to homes.  If someone comes to your door claiming to be a Public Works employee and does not have identification, please do not grant them access.  Call Kathy Bowen at 617.898.4974 to confirm that they are in fact a Public Works employee.

Could be the Travelers, or local druggies.

Milton has hired some shady characters to install updated meters in homes, so it could be those guys, as well, coming around to loot what they consider to be the softer targets in town.

Alas, the town provides no description of the scam artists in the e-mail.

A Milton woman is reportedly wielding a knife, and threatening to hurt herself. Hubby says she’s in her car, heading north to New Hampshire.

Milton police and the husband are trying to talk the woman into returning home, on Woodland Road.

My wife asks, “Is the woman home for a week with a bunch of kids, who aren’t in school?”
