The National Association of the Deaf says it isn't aware of any other school that has precluded a deaf child named "Hunter" from signing his own name on the grounds that the sign looks like a handgun and so resembles "an item that could cause injury." That's probably because, just based on my preliminary analysis, that's so incredibly dumb. The district has since released a statement saying it was not requiring the student "to change his sign language name," which I note is not the same as actually letting him sign it.
After a months-long effort to crack down on falsely registered voters in Florida, they caught one. Only one, a Canadian who said he lied about being a U.S. citizen in order to vote and exercise "his" Second Amendment right to buy guns.

(By the way, he was registered as an independent.)
If you thought you'd never get a chance to see a clip of a future state governor appearing on The Dating Game back in 1978 complete with ginormous hair and an outfit with padded shoulders, you were wrong.
What does "criminal mischief" mean, exactly? Well, here's one thing it includes: taking off your shoes and running through wet concrete. Police located the woman not far away; she tried to run again, but "officers caught up with her as her pants started to fall down." (Another miscreant felled by sagging pants.) Police said she matched the description of the alleged footprinter and also "had what appeared to be dried cement on her feet."
ATTENTION, ORENTHAL JAMES SIMPSON: your lifetime quota of legal victories won by throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks has been filled. Accordingly, you will need more than a lame conflict-of-interest argument to prevail in future disputes (if any). THAT IS ALL.
