Lea Lane: What I've Learned From My Best Friend's Suicide
JD Schramm: WATCH: Revealing A Heartbreaking Secret On The TED Stage
Think popping the question at Medieval Times is bad? Brace yourself. A man in Baltimore used actual cops to stage a fake police raid as part of what has to be the worst wedding proposal we've ever heard of.Jon S. Cardin, left, a State Delegate from Baltimore called the city police commissioner and commissioned up some cops to stage a raid on the boat he was cruising on with his girlfriend. After police marine and helicopter units circled the craft, some of them boarded, pretended to ransack it, and then hauled out a box with a ring in it.
Cardin and the city of Baltimore -- a town so plagued by crime and police corruption that they made a hit HBO show about how plagued by crime and police corruption it is -- are in a hot water for using on-duty cops, helicopters and boats to stage the proposal. Thankfully (?), he's offered to repay every last taxpayer dollar spent on scaring the Christ out of his girlfriend via S.W.A.T. team.

Where does he get off doing that? And sure he'll pay it back...with all the taxpayer money he gets as salary ('gets' - note; I didn't use the word 'earn'). He should be thrown in jail, fined AND forced to pay the funds back.

to Emerald Catron -- the ending phrase you used in this article is difinitely NOT PC - could even be taken as offensive language - 'scaring the socks off...', 'scaring the bejitters out of...' would seem a bit more printable.

This NEEDED to be said, Cafilli! Why do so many in this "PC" age feel free to use the name of Jesus/Christ as an expletive? The name that should be honored above all names is used as a curse word or a derisive apellation.
This reveals the evil depravity of the speaker/writer. Never does one hear the name of even "Hitler" used this way. But one day, this Jesus Christ will be Judge of all, and we will give account to him our Creator, even for our every word and thought.

Cafilli,
Why MUST the ending comment be PC? Emerald presumably used language that expressed her feelings, nothing wrong with that in my book—she didn't threaten violence or put someone down for his or her identity.
Paul,
Get a grip! You're overreacting, at least in my opinion. Also, although you believe that Jesus Christ will judge us all after death, I don't—nor do many of the world's population. I believe that my judgement is how other humans respect me (or not, though I strive to act/speak in such a way that they will). To each his or her own.

This a blatant example of the abuse we as americans suffer from our elected officials. He's going to reimburse. I doubt it !! Unless the FBI initiates an investigation into this abuse of public funds it will just eventually fade away. It is however a reminder that our elected officials are not really that bright and that they really believe they are above the laws they create. What a Jackass!!!It's the epitome of the USA these days though isn't it.

We're from Baltimore and were more upset that this was his idea of a marriage proposal then using our valuable crime fighting resources. She said yes btw. Stupid.
