Any machinery could be considered dangerous. I was driving a tractor on the highway at 12. And now, we are letting 15 year olds get there permit and so 16 they are driving a vehicle which could be considered dangerous machinery and it is allowed. 16, they get pulled over and charged, they go to adult court on driving.

Yes. It was nothing to see a 14 year old driving a tractor on the road from one field to another. The same here in Florida. You can get a farmers permit to drive on the roadway at age 14. I worked on a farm at 14, although I didn't have to operate machinery. That came later at 15 driving a jeep pulling a golf ball retriever at a driving range. Yes, they do try to target you. 

True. I was referring to why juveniles are charged as an adult in some cases.

He needs 20 years to think about what he did...IMO.

You would probably not get on a jury here as you would not be impartial. Both sides want impartial jurors. By the way, juveniles who commit petty crimes don't get a jury trial, often they have charges diverted through a diversion program and charges dismissed. They never have a jv record.

Oddly enough, you will always have a "record" the paperwork never just goes away.

I have done jury duty several times, many, if not most, folks on a jury don't belong there.  Couple quick quotes from fellow jury members I served with. " if the police arrested them, they must be guilty"  "If they are black they are surely guilty"

Judge Rejects Bid To Stop UFC Fight

The appointee of former President Barack Obama concluded that the two plaintiffs do not have the legal right — known as “standing” — to challenge the event. As a result, he made no ruling on the legality of the planned fight.

But he nonetheless acknowledged the administration’s claim that a ruling halting the event would cause substantial harm to the people involved in the event, including Trump, the fighters and thousands of spectators.


“And then there is the $60 million that the UFC and UFC-affiliated organizations have expended to put on the event,” the judge wrote. “The potential loss of those dollars resulting from a last-minute, court-ordered stoppage cannot be ignored.”

 According to a senior administration official, the current terms of the deal include:

Reopening the Strait of Hormuz and lifting the blockade.

Dismantling of Iran’s nuclear program, with the U.S. destroying enriched material on-site and taking it out of the country.

A guarantee of “a long-term peace in the region.”

The official added on the background call with reporters that, contrary to some speculation, Iran would not get a payment for signing the deal, but instead would “get rewarded economically for complying with their obligations under the deal.”

“So, if they turn over the nuclear material as promised, they’ll get something,” the official said. “If they dismantle their nuclear program or their nuclear facilities, they’ll get something else if they, you know, really commit to regional peace and stability. They’ll get additional things on top of that.”

 On a background call with reporters, a senior administration official characterized the Iran deal as “80, 85%” done, and said leaders “expect to be signing this agreement over the next few days.”

“I feel very good about this deal,” the official said. “I think the president has got us in a very good spot. The negotiating team has got us in a very good spot. But let’s see here. We’re not quite at the finish line yet, but we are very close.”

The official also hinted at some lingering disagreements among key decision-makers.

“Most of the people who have authority within their system want to sign this deal,” the official said, “but not everybody.”
