Texas Firefighters Comfort Grieving Widow With Act of Kindness

Texas firefighters finished mowing the lawn of a man who suffered a heart attack mid-mow and comforted his wife in an act of kindness that has brought together an entire community.

Firefighters from Bayton, Texas, responded to a 911 call on Tuesday for a man who suffered a heart attack while mowing his lawn, according to a statement released by the City of Bayton on its Facebook page.

After taking the man to a hospital, members of Bayton Fire Department's Station 4, A-Shift returned to the man's home to finish mowing his lawn. They then put the lawnmower away and locked the garage.

They also left behind a note with comforting words for the victim's wife.

"We felt bad that your husband didn't get to finish the yard," the firefighters said.

The firefighters also let the woman know they would be there for her in the future.

"We are very sorry that your husband became ill, we hope he has a speedy recovery," they said. "Let us know if there is anything we can do to help you out."

Members of the Baytown community have rallied around the firefighters for their act of kindness.

"All of our City employees are proud to serve the citizens of Baytown, but this is truly special," the city said in a statement posted on Facebook. "We couldn't be prouder of our guys from Station 4. Our prayers are with the family at this sad time."

The heart attack victim, who has not been identified, died.

I believe most bars and clubs that play music pay a periodic fee to ASCAP & BMI so they can play music from their catalogs. Could be wrong, but that's what I heard somewhere and I'm too lazy to google it.

In response to the livestreamer that got swatted last week, here's the results from another swatter that got somebody killed:

25 years to life in prison.

http://www.nymeta.co/15-year-old-swa...ederal-prison/

DeQuincy, LA — What many teenagers these days are considering a harmless prank, has landed one online gamer in more trouble than he could have ever imagined. In a Louisiana courtroom today, 15-year-old Paul Horner broke down in tears after a judge found the young man guilty on two counts of domestic terrorism and was sentenced to twenty-five years to life in federal prison.

Horner is the first person in history to be charged with what is known as ‘swatting‘, a growing trend in which a person anonymously files a false police report, such as a murder or bomb threat, in hopes of provoking the police to raid an individual’s home or business. Prosecutors in the case proved that Horner called in multiple false threats against rival online gamers, resulting in SWAT team raids of their residence.

edit: It's fake

was hoping some asshole finally got karma'd

Thank god it's fake. Sentencing a 15 year old to 25-life is beyond heinous.

Think life sentences for minors were ruled unconstitutional about 10 years ago

But you know, said 15 year old thinking its funny to call SWAT on someone and they open fire on someone under the impression there is a legitimate threat is perfectly acceptable.

Boys will be boys, right?

So is murdering someone for supposedly being in a gang. You think those 15-17 year olds give two shits about that?

Nope, death penalty is unconstitutional. We've had a few minors convicted of murder with gang enhancements in California getting 15/25 to life.

**Acevalefor** · 2014-09-02 13:49

Same in Oregon. Minors can be charged as adults for a large number of crimes. That trial includes the same possible punishments as an adult as well.

If its 15 to life or 25 to life, its not life....

See below quote that is 5 sentences or less even though the ACLU suredly wouldn't go after BG for copyright infringement on quoting and spreading the good work they've done...

Supreme Court Rules Against Mandatory Life Without Parole for Children
The Supreme Court ruled in June 2012 that juveniles convicted of murder cannot be subject to a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. Twenty nine states currently have such laws. The Court’s rulings in Miller v. Alabama and Jackson v. Hobbs build on a decision two years prior that juveniles could not be sentenced under any circumstances to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole for non-homicide offenses.

Local boy dun goofed. http://www.tallahassee.com/story/new...n-in/15297145/

Admin edit: please review the new rules on quoting articles.

TL:DR; Female sheriff deputy arrives after call of belligerent man, possibly armed. Suspect attacks deputy, causing facial fractures and broken fingers. Suspect flees as back up arrives, leaves them on car chase through a National Forest before finally being apprehended. The female deputy that he assaulted to begin with is the daughter of a State Attorney. YOU DONE GOOFED NOW, SON.
