    Baby Left Unattended Outside Bay Ridge OTB (Off Track Betting)
    What’s the over/under on an outraged commenter flame-a-thon on this post? A reader sent in this photograph of a baby who was left unattended in his/her stroller outside an OTB facility in Bay Ridge. He tells us that 20 minutes after taking the initial picture, “The carriage was gone. There was no hovering parent type watching out the window that I could see. In all honesty, they might have nipped in for two minutes to collect a drunken uncle and to hand out bibles—regardless they shouldn’t have left the child unattended on the street.” No kidding—this is not Denmark.

    *rob*

  2. Yes, easy to get out on a rant….like lechacal said last week, just tell them that you think if someone has been brought this far in the judicial process they’re probably guilty.

    I was being questioned many years ago for a case and it was an entrapment case and I said i did not believe in entrapment.

  3. Wow, $2,000. I may be wrong but it looks like a plain old generic concrete slather job would work for that. For under the stoop, that is.

    Ha, etson. I can definately get out of jury duty. On criminal cases, I can rant about how the city is going to hell in a handbasket and about the March crime wave in Fort Greene, and ain’t it a shame, etc. etc. And for civil, I could go on about anything — personal injury the best, have a couple of standard rants on that.

  4. M4L, definately the guy was trying to upsell me, but he had no idea how hardened I am. But in the end, I really only believe in win/win. Bad Karma is expensive. Millal will be very happy he gave me that good price because I will sing his praises, post pictures and even more people on Brownstoner will know about him.

  5. Good warm-up rant donatella – just need another like that to get thrown off the jury & be free for another few years.

    (I totally agree, btw. If it’s any consolation traffic was total chaos up here this w/e because they shut down one of the main roads for resurfacing & didn’t plan the diversions very well).
