During the recent storm news, a reporter in a major city showed a video clip of two young men. They looked to be about college age. They were dressed in yellow rain slickers, rain hats, and boots. They were on a flooded main street, carrying inflatable canoes. It looked as if they intended to have fun by paddling down the main street. The camera showed police officers warning the young men to retreat from this dangerous area. The water was rushing and visibility was not good. Next, the clip showed the two young men getting handcuffed and put into a police wagon. The reporter said the police officers charged the young thrill-seekers with lack of common sense. The reporter said the officers probably released the two young men later, and that there was no such charge as lack of common sense. Can you imagine if lack of common sense was a legitimate legal charge? Lots of people would probably be arrested daily.
