Q. I have reason to believe that my neighbor in the apartment next door is practicing sodomy with another man. I've called the police, but I fear they won't get here fast enough.
What procedure should I follow to perform a citizen's arrest on the two of them? Just bust down the door?

Answer
Each state, with the exception of North Carolina, permits citizen arrests if the commission of a felony is witnessed by the arresting citizen, or when a citizen is asked to assist in the apprehension of a suspect by police. The application of state laws varies widely with respect to misdemeanors, breaches of the peace, and felonies not witnessed by the arresting party. For example, Arizona law allows a citizen's arrest only for a misdemeanor which disturbs the peace, and only if the arrestor has personally witnessed the offense occurring.
American citizens do not carry the authority or enjoy the legal protections held by police officers, and are held to the principle of strict liability before the courts of civil- and criminal law including, but not limited to, any infringement of another's rights. Nonetheless many citizens' arrests are popular news stories and criminal prosecutions in clearly justifiable cases are rare.
Basically don't do it if you don't want to get sued.

What will FOX News do when their audience literally dies off and becomes extinct?

It's happening sooner than you think. FOX News' viewer demographic is mostly the elderly.
Answer
The only demographic Mitt won was aging white men ... that's it. It doesn't take a mental giant to forecast the direction the party is headed. They lost the popular vote in 5 of the last 6 elections. The election they won was the gwb 2nd term when the recession started.
The rep party is reluctant to change ... it can't agree how to reinvent it self.
If the rep party wants to know why it's losing support, it should pay attention to the polls ...

As far as I know, FOX is the only biased right wing network. There is no competition. Plus, it has the most gullible audience because the network has already indicated it might be lying ...

The FOX audience doesn't care if they are getting lied to ... they insist on being told what they want to hear.
Obstinacy is in their dna ... some of them still insist gwb was a great president despite historians, scholars and a considerable amount of the rest of us considering him ranked among the worst ...

These people can still vote even though they have a learning disorder ... that's frightening.
