"Where is the common sense when they know the ice is broken?" Ottawa County, Ohio, Sheriff Bob Bratton told the Toledo Blade, estimating the cost of the sheriff's office response at $25,000.

Bratton told the Cleveland Plain Dealer that the fishermen displayed poor judgment in building a makeshift bridge to get from one section of the ice to the other.

"I have no problem with people ice fishing, but these idiots should realize that when you see open water, you should not build a bridge and cross it," he said. "It's a shame you can't arrest people for stupidity."

I agree they should be able to arrest people for stupidity. Look at some of the laws we have now and why were they made; because people can be real stupid sometimes and don't use their common sense. How many times have you heard of someone doing something really stupid and their excuse; " Well' there's no law that says I can't".
