Oh wow, that lawsuit Sis linked is really sad.
Instead of complaining about the noise, go in and have fun watching the kids doing something active or just talk to the parents.
My parents were socializing more during my games then actually watching me play

On the other hand, why have noise limits in the first place, if no one has to follow regulations?

What in the world happened to this man!? What was he thinking!? And more than that... WHAT?!?

A man locks his daughter up for 24 years, etc.

Those kids... *shakes head*

Yeah, and her kids...
People like Fitzler make it hard for me to keep believing there's an angel in everyone
At least he didn't murder the kids at their birth if that may account for something...

Actually he may have murdered one. There have supposedly been 7 children, yet only 6 are accounted for. It's disgusting.

He confessed to burning the body of the seventh after it died some how. What a wonderful message about humanity.

I know. That's what boggles me the most.

I mean, Christ wept, robbing a convenience store will get you more than that!!

I think it would be the same here. Maybe even less years in prison, but with TBS (mental/psychological whatever) because you can't just lock people up who are not in their right mind, or who had a bad childhood [/sarcasm]
If he had murdered one of them, it might be more, but from what I understand the baby just died and he then tried to burn the body in an oven.

Or lock him away in his own cellar and throw away the key. See how he likes it.

What boggles me completely is that his wife never knew a thing. How can you not know something like this goes on in your own house?!

All I can think of is the wife must've been awfully scared of him to not question his disappearances. What a tyrannical monster.

Realistically speaking, it shouldn't matter in this case. I mean, a 73 year old man going to prison is rather unlikely to live another 15.

But...gods...you can't even say anything.

Mari, there are no words. My brain can't even begin to comprehend the horror of that news story.

From the article:
Quote:
They are also considering charges of "murder through failure to act" in connection with the death of one of the seven children he fathered. Police said on Monday that Mr Fritzl had admitted burning the infant's body shortly after it died.

I don't really understand the 15-year maximum either. It must have something to do with Austrian law.

Egads, is this a change from 26 July 2007 when HP was a billion dollar Zionist conspiracy? Or is this now a multi-billion Zionist cabal?

And yes I know its the Guardian, but not even they would make up this type of thing!
