Not necessarily, but I’ve had acquaintances with criminal records have an innocent situation like that get blown out of proportion by the police because of the record.
At this point I’m kind of assuming she is both lying and the situation was worse than what she’s saying, and yet it likely still didn’t warrant an arrest for criminal negligence and the police are blowing it out of proportion, if that makes sense.
I don’t want to defend fucking Boebert or her ilk but to be fair:
“miscommunication on monitoring my young grandson that recently led to him getting out of the house.”
Assuming this is true, kids after three getting out of the house one time and scaring their parents half to death is a pretty often occurrence. Kids get real clever real quick when they get to 3, 4, and 5 and that’s usually when parents suddenly have to re-evaluate the locks on the doors after a jailbreak.
In Japan the fault for accidents is always assumed to be the larger vehicle. If a truck hits a car it’s on the onus of the truck driver to prove he wasn’t doing anything wrong, and if a car hits a cyclist, the car driver has to prove their innocence etc.
I think to most Americans that seems appalling (what if the stupid cyclist was doing something reckless?! Etc.), but it definitely makes people in Japan drive much safer in areas where there are potential cyclists, and thus makes it safer to cycle places easily.

Oh good he’s obviously talking about the Marshall Plan. I look forward to the US shipping millions of tons of food and goods to Gaza post haste. /sad sarcasm
