Doing Their Job

Good morning!  Spent the evening yesterday watching the game and didn't get home until really late.  I didn't really have anything yesterday to complain about but I got something really interesting this morning from the Today show.  That seems to be a place where you can get a lot of stuff to complain about!  Anyway...


So they were talking about this guy who tried to carry his newborn baby around the hospital and how the nursing staff tried to stop him due to hospital policy.  I would have to guess that it is much more than just hospital policy, I would guess there are some laws with regards to it.  So you may be thinking, why is this national news worthy?  My thoughts exactly!  Well it turns out the reason is that the guys last name is Kennedy.  That's right, the grandson of a former presidential candidate from the 60's is still so "influential" that his grandson is in the news!  Or is it that they have money and a famous last name?  It is completely ridiculous that it is felt that this is national newsworthy!  What has he done to help society?  I can't think of anything so why should I care that he thinks he is above the hospital policies, and potential laws, to the point that he believes he has the right to push and kick the nursing staff that is trying to enforce these policies!  And he and his wife were "appalled that these nurses attempted to take the baby away from him."  Really?  How do they know that he wasn't trying to steal the baby because they didn't really have a good marriage?  This is their job and there are reasons that these policies, and potentially laws, are in place!


And what makes this even worse is that this incident occurred at the beginning of January!  It was reported to the hospital administrator in a timely fashion, and he chose to ignore it.  It was also reported to the police with written statements and hospital video in a timely fashion, and they chose to ignore it.  This is only coming out now because an Assistant DA finally decided that it was time to take a chance to stand up to these "celebrities" and hold them responsible for their actions.  I'm not sure who this Assistant DA is but I hope he really pushes the case rather than just doing it to say that it was done.


This crap needs to come to an end!  It is no wonder to me why the "celebrities" of today think they are above the law.  And the courts need to begin enforcing the laws removing the whole celebrity status.  They need to start siding with the people of the United States who pay their salaries!  It sends the wrong message to the youth of this great country that if you are famous you can get away with anything that you want, including drug use and possession.


I hope this Assistant DA has his stuff together so that this jackass won't get away with this...
