I'm not sure what or why, but the older I get it seems the more hard hearted I get. (Don't forget I'm married to a cop for this one). It just seems to me that some people don't deserve any more help.

The impetus for this was some 29 yr old multiple times convicted person...he was shot 3 times with a BEAN BAG for resisting police...so he stabbed himself in the chest 3 times. Now, he is in the Trauma Center and they are trying to save his life. Why? Now, I know that sometimes cops make mistakes and the person/perp in question has not done anything wrong but this dude has been in trouble before and stabbed himself, three times no less.

Pretty sure neither he nor his family will have the money to pay his medical bills...so why should my taxes? I just sometimes have to wonder why the effort.....

He managed to stab himself in the heart, lung and aorta....so is getting emergency surgery to try and save him. I again just have to wonder why bother....save the effort and money for the babies who had no part in their own messes.

I'll get me coat now.
