10 year old held for cat abuse

Consumer Tip On
What Not To Buy!

News Brief

So you think you're a mechanic or one of those do-it-yourself handymen ? There is that cheapie set of Wal-Mart toolkits that includes this ratchet screwdriver - the kit goes for around 9 bucks. Stay away from this, even though at first glance it looks like a great deal. The ratchet idea is great, but there is a problem. As soon as you exert a little pressure with this tool, you'll strip down the little gears inside. Then you have a regular screwdriver, cause the ratchet action will be gone. A 9 dollar crappy screwdriver. Hmm...you could spend 9 bucks and get 3 premium quality screwdrivers at Sears. By the way, the world's softest metal is included in this set ... Try the driver bits and see if they can turn a screw without getting eaten up. Soon you'll have a box full of worn out bits and a crappy screwdriver, minus the ratchet feature. I give this crapoli a two thumbs down.

Consumer Feedback:

"After using this screwdriver, I realized that Walmart is NOT the place to buy tools...."

"All the bits are worn out - this tool kit sucks, like everything else at that cheapo store."

10 year old boy Held for Abuse of Cat
Bingham, Mi. -A 10 year old boy was arrested and held in a juvenile detention facility for abusing a cat. The tabby cat was treated and released to its owners after barely escaping with its life. According to the boy's friends, he chose to make it his goal to torture and abuse the animal. He nuked it in a microwave for 3 minutes, washed and dried it in an automatic washer dryer, and put it in a freezer, near the frozen orange juice. At this point, his mother found the animal, and defrosted it. The cat was in a state of shock and may never be able to tolerate children again. Says the mother - " When the little bast*** gets out of juvenile, I'll whoop his ass with a broom handle. I don't tolerate this behavior in my home. He'll wish he was dead when I get through with him". The cat has since been given to another family.
