Quiet Kids, I'm watching the Lakers

Did you see that game last night? Derek Fisher was on fire. Kobe as usual was a champ. You'd have to be a fool to miss a game of this series and if you missed the explosive Lakers offense in last night's game, you'd be kicking yourself all day today.

Apparently, Jonathan Weaver, the winner of today's parenting award completely agrees:

A man accused of leaving two toddlers tied up in a southwest valley garage said he was upset that he had to baby-sit his girlfriend’s children and went to a bar to watch a basketball game, a Metro Police report said. He appeared in Clark County District Court this morning.

Jonathan Weaver, 20, was arrested on charges of child abuse and endangerment, kidnapping and attempted murder after police broke into the apartment complex garage in the 10000 block of South Spencer Street about 8:15 p.m. Tuesday and found the 1- and 2-year-old children tied up in their car seats, police said.

The children, who had been left in the garage for more than two hours, were also gagged with cloth and a shirt was pulled over the younger child’s face, police said. (LV Sun)

Normally, WWL doesn't support child abuse, but that was a hell of a game.

  1. I can't believe District Court isn't going to downgrade those child abuse and endangerment, kidnapping and attempted murder charges to a Flagrant 1. Sloppy officiating.

  2. LE - a few problems with your post:

    D-Fish was NOT on fire, but he made some huge shots.

    This happened Tuesday night - so it was Game 3, which had a much better result.

  4. You guys are all exposing the fact that you don't or shouldn't have kids. Is the joke topic "child molestation" next. Poor choice of topic LE & I like you. Not funny.

  5. I agree with 2:33. Fisher wasn't on fire, having missed a string of 3's earlier. But he was, as always, clutch.

  6. @ Legally:

    2:01 here. I have 2 children (whom I love more than life itself) and hold the scumbag who did this horrible thing in the utmost contempt. That being said, I think you miss the point of LE's post, in that he was simply "illustrating absurdity by being absurd". It was completely tongue-in-cheek.

  7. No, I got the point, didn't miss the "tongue in cheek". I just think there are limits to a "JOKE". I also get the "difference of opinion" thing, too.

  8. America is a unique country. Where else in the world could a rapist be celebrated by so many people? Maybe Afghanistan...

  10. and a bar to watch the game:

    "Weaver initially told police he had left the children with Beltran’s parents, but then said he left them in the garage while he went and watched an NBA finals basketball game at a bar, the report said. He reportedly told officers he watched the second half of the game, but didn’t realize how long he was gone, the report said."

    "Weaver arrived home during the investigation and told police he had dropped Beltran off at night school. He at first attempted to take the boys to her parents' house so he could watch a Las Vegas 51s game with friends"
