Hard eye roll

I really like the gold lamp. And the current picture is an unusual touch. Lynn says underage drinking is illegal. Go Lynn.

She isn’t listening

What’s the matter with y’all? Like her, love her or hate her she’s getting involved with a serious issue that is very problematic to many families. Either get on board and be supportive or just pipe down. Your hate for the AG really shows how small of a person you really are when she’s addressing an issue that is sometimes devastating to so many.

A good ole fashioned “Lookie me!!! Lookie me!!!” meaningless press release. About as clueless as that doofus in the cowboy hat.

Huh??? Been pouring over the state laws today. Can't locate the applicable statute for the AG to devote time to this issue (as important as it may be).

Someone please argue that underage drinking was a serious matter at common law. Pleeeeaseee!!!!

"My name is Anonymous and I was once an underage drinker."

"Hello Anonymous!"

"Not sure how I survived some of my experiences. Maybe she is right...."

Stop. You’re making too much sense.

7:13, without intending to question whether underage drinking is a problem, I do question how or why an attorney general would think that such an issue had anything to do with the duties of an attorney general. Just what is an attorney general going to do, other than jump on a bandwagon. If the issue is really that serious then the legislature will enact statutes in an attempt to deal with it. An attorney general has no power or authority to do anything but enforce laws, though. He or she has no power to enact any kind of law. So this is just Lynn Fitch posturing again. She does that a lot, have you noticed?

7:13 - Will you be the last one to start pumping out resumes?

If she really wants to do something that means something she should look at those damned robo-callers who are hawking extended auto warranties. I reached out to her consumer protection division and got the brush-off. And, yeah, the gold lamp is a nice touch.

Fitch should be a social worker.....she's not a prosecutor, nor could she represent effectively at the SCOTUS, so they hired a what? a Solicitor General?

There are only 12, out of 299 countries, with a drinking age of 21. Our company includes Iraq , Oman, Samoa and Mongolia. We should teach responsibility like all other “civilized countries’. Jeff

I need help with my underage drinkers! Thank the lord that Lynn did this. Just in time*

@3:57

Give it a week and we’ll be reading another press release proclaiming “AG Fitch joins a coalition of state’s against robocalls. ‘With Robocop’s help, we will defend the people against this serious issue’”

Bad airbrush job. Notice how everything in the picture is in perfect focus, even items in the background that should be out of focus, that is how you spot photoshop and airbrush. Well, you can spot the airbrush because her rookie left in the jpeg artifacts.

Never seen or heard of Youth Court worrying and doing much about it. I hate dealing with parents who complain about me waking them up for such a trivial problem as Bubba and Tammy Jo drinking and getting caught.

underage drinking? try drugs. beer/wine/whiskey isn’t the problem these days. it’s pills and meth. fentanyl to be specific...

Jim Hood rolled out underage drinking press releases every so often. It's an easy target for AG's. It feels good, no one will argue against it, and who could be for underage drinking, right?

Well, this person is, somewhat. Lower it back to 18. The whole infantilization of adults started when we raised the drinking age and began treating 20 year olds as if they were 14 year olds. There wasn't a binge problem until the drinking age went up. Now the 19 year olds drink as much as they can when they can get their hands on it. The move made most states raise their age of majority to 21. Then other things eventually followed such as raising the driving age. Now we've put off true adulthood and have grown children.

If the little 15 year old Swedish girl (Greta Thunberg) could become an international expert on so called
"climate change" a couple of years ago, ... why can't an 18 year old drink a Budweiser ?

At 18 years of age they may join the US Military and risk their lives.
(Age 17 with parental consent).

Hell, we were sneaking out to drink Miller "ponies" when we were about 14.

We all turned out OK.

There was even some future Mississippi elected officials in our group.

Are they sending in underage kids to attempt purchase? Back when the Tobacco money was flowing, I knew someone who was working with a Group. Two of their kids were used to attempt to buy Cigs.

Now Mississippi is making a profit selling them to prisoners, after all there's no wall too high to throw Football packages over

If underage drinking is a problem in your home, you need parenting classes.

You aren't waiting up for you kids, you haven't taught them about alcohol and how to socialize responsibly. You don't know their peer group or how to manage who your kids' relationships to keep them out of the "wrong crowd". You do " just say no" and expect that to suddenly work at a time when peer group influence is at it's height.

Organizations don't raise children, parents do. And, God forbid that we ever,ever look at the cultural reasons other countries don't have the problems with underage drinking that we do.

My friends and I had our first beer at Walker’s Drive Inn when we were 15. To my knowledge, we all survived.

As any of us who actually know Lynn Fitch can tell you: she'll hit the issue as a great talking point for the GOP base and she'll bring it up a time or two, but when the rubber meets the road from a policy standpoint, she'll move on to the next shiny object. It doesn't take leadership skill to identify what issues are important or hot politically and to formulate a good talking point, but it does take leadership skill to actually accomplish something after leaving the podium and making the press release. It is in the follow up where Ms. Fitch is found lacking and, quite frankly, AWOL. Great sentiment, for sure. Worst "leader" to be giving it lip service because that's about all she'll ultimately offer.
