Good Samaritans Fined for Helping to Save Deer in Distress

With government, few good deeds go unpunished!

[Greetings Jammie Wearing Fool and Twitter fans... have a look around while you are here. There is so much more to Mike's America!]

Here's the story: Thursday night a group of strangers near Baltimore Maryland noticed a deer trapped in the icy waters of the Patapsco River. They banded together to rescue the deer using a raft.

But a natural resources police officer who appeared on the scene did not come to help. Instead, he wrote tickets for the two men on the raft fining them $90 each for not wearing life vests even though they were over the age where such vests are mandatory.

Isn't this exactly the kind of bureaucratic insanity so much on display in nearly every level of government that Americans are rebelling against?

Want to make a bet which party the guy who wrote the ticket belongs to?
