(Edit) Damn, so pissed I didn't put a subject.
http://www.ktvb.com/news/No-bluff-Police-break-up-senior-center-poker-game-85740182.html


About 20 seniors had played at the center for more than five years but police say nothing in Idaho law permits gambling at any age.

Residents told The Times-News they paid in $20 to play and the pot was split among the top chip holders.



When I get old, I want to be able to enjoy my last days. It's not like these people are out roving the streets in Zimmer Frame gangs, busting out windows with their canes and terrorizing random people by taking out their teeth and threatening to kiss them.

They are just living out their days having a little fun. Give them a freakin' break.

Assholes.

2. Crime is so low in Twin Falls that they have to chase down bullshit like this . . .

3. There are a lot of petty crimes (across the entire country)
that are being "cracked down" on as a revenue generating mechanism. I ran across a story yesterday about cities shortening the Yellow Light to catch more speeders. Although I'm not sure how credible a story it is.
