Sons of Anarchy FTW

TV can save your life.

 

This morning I got an email from my mom. Leaving aside the unlikelihood that it’s REAL, I’m going to copy and paste some of it:

While driving on a rural end of the roadway on Thursday morning, I saw an infant car seat on the side of the road with a blanket draped over it. For whatever reason, I did not stop, even though I had all kinds of thoughts running through my head.  But when I got to my destination, I called the Canton PD and they were going to check it out.  But, this is what the Police advised even before they went out there to check….“There are several things to be aware of …. gangs and thieves are now plotting different ways to get a person (mostly women) to stop their vehicle and get out of the car.

“There is a gang initiation reported by the local Police Department where gangs are placing a car seat by the road…with a fake baby in
it…waiting for a woman, of course, to stop and check on the abandoned baby.

“Note that the location of this car seat is usually beside a wooded or grassy (field) area and the person — woman — will be dragged into the
woods, beaten and raped, and usually left for dead.  If it’s a man, they’re usually beaten and robbed and maybe left for dead, too.

When I checked my email, I promptly deleted it and said to my husband “Anyone who thinks I’m in danger of stopping for an apparently “abandoned” baby on the side of the road hasn’t watched Sons of Anarchy.”
He laughed and then said, “That’s apropos of… nothing.” I read the email and he just said “Word.” Because if you haven’t seen the episode to which I’m referring, let me tell you it’s goddamn criminal that Katey Sagal hasn’t gotten an Emmy for that show.
