We hang who we fear!@
When a Kennedy raped a girl in Florida, he was a doctor so no one feared him raping them. They let him go.
Now general wuz no doctor nor a kennedy.
Kennedy is still doctoring, geberal will never excpe the felony conviction. Can't even make burgers.
We afraid of him!

Hey, Sonny can pardon / commute both of us under the "Scooter" Rule... the sentence is just too harsh.

I was on a grand jury one time & we had a case that was one of 2 that we "No-Billed" out of say 200, that could be somewhat similar. My comment then and my comment now is, "Who hasn't been in that back seat?" I guess I just need to go an turn myself in.... I was 17/ 10 mos & she was sure enough 15. I need to register. I could plead she was more experienced than me.

I worked at Six Flags back in the 70s, as a summer job when I was in college. It was a pleasure to work there and great for my social life. Back then, they had some standards, so all the employees were reasonably clean-cut and well-behaved. I had to get a haircut to work there, and it probably helped me stay away from the wrong crowd. What a shame that they have not maintained those same standards!

Of course the individuals responsible for the beating must pay the consequences as the thugs they are, but also Six Flags must take responsibility for cleaning up their act, especially since three of the suspects were Six Flags employees. Given the high ticket prices, Six Flags could well afford to beef up their security forces to include the area just outside the gates. I don't know about now, but back in the 70s, the Six Flags security personnel were mostly fully-trained police officers. I'm sure they can hire some more, now.

Until they clean up their act, I certainly wouldn't send my teens there unescorted. That would eliminate about 2/3 of their business, as I recall. The other 1/3 was parents with small kids, and I'm sure they don't want to get mugged either, so Six Flags had better get this problem fixed ASAP.

Whats this here bs you said? I might have been wrong about thu gas but the bs warnt hevy!

I went to Six Flags the summer of 1975. My mom, sisters and I drove down to visit relatives (I was living in NJ at the time). It was Underground that was a little scary. I remember it was kind of dark and dreary and I saw a man lying in the gutter. Another man asked me for a light. Anyway, what was that boat ride called that had all the broken pillars sticking out of the banks of the creek? The "tour guide" made some joke using the word 'pillars' for 'pillows.' I didn't get it because I didn't understand the accent; it had to be explained to me.

That boat ride was supposed to be kind of like a "Pirates of the Caribbean" back then. Six Flags was originally divided up into six sections, one for each flag that flew over GA in its history. Same for the Six Flags over Texas, their first theme park. Each section had different uniforms, to represent that period in GA history. In the summer of 75, I was working at the Hanson Cars, the old Model-T's that went around a little track through the woods.

You mentioned Underground Atlanta--that's another Atlanta attraction that has gone through ups and downs. Sometimes, it was rough, like what you experienced; other times it was cleaned up and safe.

Hit air tha sam nowadays!
Also, the explanation would still probably be necessary!

only other help they can git is Mexican. Everybody raising cane bout thet, though.
You want it shet down?

Boy are you ever right on this one.

If WWII had been covered by the Modern Media: Great Video

I haven't been watching tv lately, and so I don't really know what's going on, but my daughter told me that Six Flags is being blamed for this beating. Why? How is it the fault of an amusement park?

I used to buy season passes and take my older children (now in their mid 20s) to the park, but my younger children (now 10 and 13) haven't been in more than six years because the last time I went I was not pleased with the clientele. The kids wandering the park were mannerless. I will assume that nothing has changed.

The word is they had a couple of altercations inside the park itself before they left. Six Flags is apparently not being very choosy about who they choose to hire.

Me, I haven't been in years. I save up and hit the Orlando parks.
