It depends on which bones they are, but the ordinary human has 208 bones.

Unless you get hit by a train. Then there's more.

Bizarre final words, fight in death chamber at inmate’s execution

HUNTSVILLE, Texas — A Texas inmate was executed Thursday evening for the killings nearly 30 years ago of his estranged wife’s parents and her brother, who was a police officer. ...

Asked to make a final statement, Coble replied: “That’ll be $5.”

He told the five witnesses he selected to be in attendance that he loved them, then again said: “That’ll be $5.” Coble nodded to the witnesses and added, “take care.”

He gasped several times and began snoring.

As Coble was finishing his statement, his son, a friend and a daughter-in-law became emotional and violent. They were yelling obscenities, throwing fists and kicking at others in the death chamber witness area.

Officers stepped in and the witnesses continued to resist. They were eventually moved to a courtyard and the two men were handcuffed.

“Why are you doing this?” the woman asked. “They just killed his daddy.” ...

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

Town seizes debt-ridden family's pug, Edda, and sells her on eBay

by Vaishnavee Sharma

March 01, 2019 03:40 PM

 
Officials in a German town sold a pet dog named Edda on eBay after the family that owned it could not pay back their debts.

City workers from the town of Ahlen seized the local family’s belongings that included a laptop, a coffee machine, a wheelchair, and the one-year-old purebred pug, according to the Washington Post.

They listed the beloved family pet for sale online for roughly $850, drawing intense criticism on social media for their actions. Town officials defended their actions, claiming they were unable to find anything else of value to sell after Edda’s family had failed to pay off their debts to the town, including a dog tax.

The 'ridiculous' part of this story is that the State seized somebody's wheelchair to sell for debt and all the press cares about is a dog.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

@240B

I think they are focusing on the dog to draw attention to how outrageous this whole business is to start with.

Seizing and selling someone's wheelchair is not only stupid,it's counterproductive since now the state  is going to have to cough up the money to buy the owner a new one.

Quote
EAST DEER TOWNSHIP, Pa. —
A man is facing several charges after assaulting another man over Christmas music during a drive on Route 28 on Monday, police said.

State police say Clayton Lucas, 25, assaulted the man because the victim was singing Christmas songs while transporting Lucas from a halfway house to a treatment class.

Investigators said Lucas became enraged that the victim was playing the music and began to strike and choke the victim, causing him to almost lose consciousness.

Unless things have really changed, upscale prep school kids wear ties and suit coats as a matter of course. Less would be underdressed for school.
Most likely the reporter was unaware of the dress codes at private schools.
