Finally, JayG's rage meter can get a break...

Finally a day a day arrives when JayG can honestly post something positive about Massachusetts.  Sumdood was responsible for breaking into a car and stealing an iPad.  Unfortunately, it wasn't just an expensive toy left lying around.  It belonged to an autistic child who uses it to communicate.  Being non-verbal, it is his only means of communication.  It's also used for his therapy, so double whammy.  The story ran on the local Fox news channel and got an immediate response from the viewers, who contacted the station with offers to help.  Within a day the deputy police chief delivered a new iPad purchased by the townspeople to replace the stolen one.

The story ran on Fox News (home to bitter clingers of guns and bibles) who responded with an outpouring of offers to help.  Not to have a rally, pass a law or demand that the government do something.  Just offered to help by buying a replacement asap.

CNN?  Not a peep.  Wait, I have my shocked face around here somewhere....
