@Sabiha1278 It is difficult for me to believe something like this could really get so far that the photo here is real. I hope humans are better than to ever handcuff an elderly woman and see her to Court like shown!🤦♀️🤷♀️

She is 91 years old, dressed in a hospital gown, her hands cuffed. Arrested for armed robbery. The judge couldn't believe his eyes.
Helen and her husband George, 88, have been married for 65 years. He suffers from severe heart failure and needs daily medication to survive. They live on a fixed pension and struggle to make ends meet. Last month, their supplemental insurance expired because they couldn't afford the payments.
When Helen went to pick up her prescription, the bill wasn't $50, as usual. It came to $940. She left empty-handed.
For three days, she watched the man she loved struggle to breathe.
Desperate, she returned to the pharmacy. Taking advantage of the pharmacist's distraction, she slipped the medication into her purse. She hadn't even reached the door before she was apprehended. The police charged her with armed robbery.
During her detention, her blood pressure skyrocketed and she was rushed to the hospital. The following morning, still wearing her thin dress, she was brought to court.
"I didn't know what to do anymore," she murmured. "He's all I have left."
The black judge looked at her – small, trembling, 91 years old – and shook his head.
"Take off her chains," he ordered. "She's not a criminal. She's a failure of our system, the US system."
He immediately dismissed the charges and ordered emergency assistance for her and George.

@Crazymoments01 I hope this isn’t asbestos insulation he is using.🫣

Today at noon thousands of red rose petals will flutter down through the oculus of the Pantheon in Rome. This spectacular tradition is held each year on the feast of Pentecost.

Her own father got her drunk… then raped her for four hours straight.
She couldn’t even walk afterward. Her uncle had to carry her into the hospital.
The rape kit proved his DNA.
She was left so broken she took her own life — because she couldn’t live with what her dad did to her.
And he’s only getting THREE YEARS?
This is not justice. This is a slap in the face to every survivor.
May he never know a single second of peace.
Say her name. Share this until they listen. 💔

@Gabriele_Corno Swallows have been returning to my barn every year that I have lived on my farm. They build the homes in the rafters out of mud. When I first move here, riding out isn’t the field swallows darted ‘round my horse’s legs. I call my home Horse & Swallow Farm.

@Crazymoments01 So heartbreaking 💔 I had to say goodbye to my nearly 13 year old German Shepherd ‘Duke’ recently.

"This soldier was saying his final goodbye to his loyal K-9 partner and best friend. The moment he fell from his chair just to hold his paw one last time absolutely shattered me. This is the unbreakable bond between a warrior and his dog. They've been through so much together. My heart completely breaks for him. A true hero's farewell."

If you feel like everything is bad in your life, just remember this man... after the accident, he continues to live and enjoy life, this is an example for us all 🙏

@kenkenlewu @Tech_josh127 I do pray that the man I love will continue to love me and want my love. The reason I pray is because no one can control another’s heart. Love is not something we can demand, we can hope our prayer is answered and if it is answered cherish the love. 💞

I might be wild but I don't pray these kind of prayers:
• I don't pray for money
• I don't pray for death (it's inevitable, no prayer needed)
• I don't pray for shortcuts
• I don't pray for miracles (miracles don't visit empty lives)
• I don't pray for basic things (I work for them)
I pray for:
• God's mercy in every area of my life
• Clarity to make the right life decisions
• A calm mind to handle whatever comes my way
• Wisdom to recognize and seize opportunities
• Sound health to pursue my purpose
Does this resonate with you?
