And people call us barbarians for having the death penalty. Putting aside the idiocy of his charges against his prison here, here's a guy who willfully killed 77 people. And he will only serve 21 years. Good heavens. |

That is unreal. About 100 days per murder... and he is complaining about conditions?!?!?!?!? Let him go on his hunger strike, hopefully he dies from starvation. |
Quote:
That's not the way the justice system works over there. He's basically got a life sentence, but after 21 years punishment (he could, but won't, be paroled after ten), they have a hearing every five years to see if he's rehabilitated. He ain't never passing that hearing. |

Annapolis police chief apologizes for citing hoax story in testimony against marijuana legalization - CapitalGazette.com: Under The Dome |
Quote:
I have sympathy for a busy person who gets lots of information across his desk who does not always spot a hoax story after it has been republished several times. But I am . . . surprised that a police chief, who I would hope has a fair amount of experience with drugs and drug users, could ever believe (1) that marijuana is so dangerous that 37 people died of an overdose in one day, and (2) that those hippies out in Colorado are so into their weed that 37 bodies didn't even give them pause in their legalization crusade. |

Attempted murder. Send this crazy chick to prison for life.. good choice you made their lover guy. Cheating on your wife is a no no and then cheating on your wife with a crazy person is another one.
Leave your wife for me or else... and then basically a suicide note indicating that she planned to kill all three. Aye aye aye |

The traffic is fun too. Yesterday on my way to work some dumbass was lost and stopped at a right turn...he was on the primary road mind you, and then thought about it for a bout 10 seconds to determine if that was the road he really wanted to be on... ...and the other day an old lady wanted to exit the I-275 in Tampa from the 3rd lane (next to the "fast" lane)....and slowed...and slowed....and then stopped and put on her blinker. She wasn't missing that exit for nothing. I was stunned when the expected accordion crash of wall to wall cars didn't follow. She made it over and off the freeway successfully, fwiw. |

Teen tied to shopping cart drowns in Lake Allatoona - Rome News-Tribune: Police/Fire Apparently, as I've pieced together from some other coverage, the whole shopping cart launch into the water is a fairly popular "game" these days. Normally one end of the rope is tied to the shopping cart, the other end is tied to a pole or some other sturdy object. In this case, the other end of the rope was tied to ... yep, you guessed it: the 18 y/o fatality. |

Man in gorilla suit shot with tranquilliser dart at Tenerife zoo - Telegraph |
Metro Atlanta "sovereign citizen" nutjob decides to attack the local courthouse (where he was due to plead out on drug & weapons charges), among the things he didn't count on were: a) a deputy that happened to be in the doorway engaging him with return fire pretty much immediately, and b) the local SWAT team response time being 27 seconds, since they were en route to another situation & were nearby when the call for backup came in
Suspect died without ever reaching the courthouse door, deputy wounded in the leg but already posting on Facebook that he's fine & not to worry. Forsyth deputy shot in courthouse assault, may have stopped... | www.ajc.com edit to add: A friend of a friend was apparently working on a nearby rooftop & caught most of the incident on video. You can't see what happens so much as hear it, but the basics are definitely displayed. Fair warning: language is definitely NSFW Post by Eric Bowman. |
iafrica.com Teen charged as adult due to big penis
Curious if an attorney has ever tried to argue the opposite. "Your honor, it is outrageous that my client would be charged as an adult for this crime. Yes he's 30 years old, but as you can see the report from this medical examination he has the penis of a 12 year old and should be tried as a minor accordingly." |

Hrm. If they have a press officer/official spokesman, etc then this is probably a logical extension of that to some extent. It'd probably be wiser to call them "Ass't Superintendent of Communications" and add additional duties but the role itself is probably realistic for a larger system in this day & age. I mean, if they're using social media at all then SOMEBODY is doing that function, right? |
