• Commented on Kid walks to soccer, neighbors call the cops
  It's childish to assume everything on the internet is photoshopped. Bored people in little neighbourhoods really do just sit and stare out the window, and gossip, and all that stupid stuff. And the cop was probably just exaggerating about the...
