THE D.A. OF THE DAY - THURSDAY MAY 19TH


CARJACKER MAKES A PIT STOP

Don't you just hate when you have to pee at the most inopportune time? Like right after you've just held someone up at gunpoint?

A California man had just returned home to the apartment he shares with his grandmother when 25-year-old Joseph Skyler appeared out of nowhere and pointed a gun at him. He stole the victim's keys and and his cell phone, and then said he needed to use the bathroom. So he forced his way inside the apartment, relieved himself, and then took off in the grandmother's car.

Luckily, police had a description of Skyler and the car, and he was captured about an hour later and charged with robbery and carjacking.

SCHOOL BURSTS LIL GIRL'S BUBBLE:

 

A five-year-old girl in Colorado got in trouble for bringing a plastic bubble gun to school.

The elementary school has a strict no-gun policy, and apparently that includes toys that shoot out bubbles. The kindergartner brought the toy to school without her mother's knowledge and took it out of her backpack to play with it during recess. Teachers who saw it sent her to the principal's office and called her mother to come pick her up. She was suspended for the rest of the day for violating the school's gun policy.

The girl's mother said, "I apologized right away and said that I am so sorry she did that. I appreciate that they’re trying to keep our kids safe, I really do. But there needs to be some common sense. It blows bubbles.”

The school released a statement on the matter saying, "While we hear and understand the parents of this student being concerned about this discipline in light of the student’s age and type of item, this suspension is consistent with our district policy."

TRUMP,HILLARY LISTED AS CAUSE OF DEATH



Forget about people who threaten to leave the country if Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton becomes president. A Virginia woman took leaving the country to a whole new level -- she died.

Her obituary reads, "Faced with the prospect of voting for either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton, Mary Anne Noland of Richmond chose, instead, to pass into the eternal love of God on Sunday, May 15, 2016, at the age of 68." The obituary was written by one of her sons and, as her husband explained, was a tribute to her sense of humor.
