Moonbats stole Moon rock!

You just can’t make this stuff up:

A long-lost, highly valuable Moon rock brought back from the Apollo 17 mission has turned up in the files of Bill Clinton.

The rock was one of 50 presented to each state, and was given to Arkansas while the ex-president was governor. The rock, worth millions of dollars, had been missing since at least 1980 until an archivist found it in old gubernatorial papers. Bobby Roberts, director of the Central Arkansas Library System, told Reuters the archivist opened a box previously archived as “Arkansas flag plaque.” The rock and a state flag were originally affixed to the plaque, but the rock had fallen off and the plaque had been misplaced.

“The moon rock, which is in a plastic container, had fallen off the plaque,” Roberts said, explaining that the rock was at the bottom of the box. “The archivist immediately knew what he had discovered.”

Hmmm, 1980. If my memory serves, Clinton was the poster ‘Boy Governor’ in 1979. I remember because GEO magazine had him as a feature story. I was a freshman at college then. GEO made him sound like God’s gift to Arkansas. So he stole it during his first year as governor. Interesting.

No doubt Sandy Berger sneaked it out in his socks.

D’oh!!!

LANCASTER CO (PA)—A Lancaster County man shot himself in the leg while trying to pull a handgun on his victim during a robbery, deputies say.

The shooting happened at 5267 Pleasant Plains Road around 11:30 a.m. Upon the arrival of deputies, Darick Mcgriff, 22, was found at his house, 3707 Fork Hill Road, with an apparent gunshot wound to the leg. He was there with his brother Joel McGriff, 26. About 100 yard away, other officers met a robbery victim.

After a detailed investigation it was determined that Darick and Joel McGriff approached the victim on Pleasant Plains Road and went around to the side of the house with him, according to a release from the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office. Darick McGriff then demanded that the victim give him the property in his pockets. Darick McGriff took a quantity of cash from the victim and demanded additional property. Darick McGriff then attempted to pull a handgun from his pocket and accidentally shot himself in the leg.

Both the McGriff’s fled the scene. Both have been charged with armed robbery. Darick McGriff was also charged with possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime.

The victim was uninjured during the incident, and both McGriff brothers remain incarcerated awaiting a bond hearing.

I think he’d better sue the gun company right quick. Pesky pistols, always going off when you yank them by the trigger. Product liability!!!

Better Late Than Never

Georgia executed Troy Davis on Wednesday night for the murder of an off-duty police officer, a crime he denied committing right to the end as supporters around the world mourned and declared that an innocent man was put to death.

...

Davis was declared dead at 11:08 p.m. The lethal injection began about 15 minutes earlier, after the Supreme Court rejected an 11th-hour request for a stay.

“Justice has been served for Officer Mark MacPhail and his family,” state Attorney General Sam Olens said in a statement.

...

Hundreds of thousands of people signed petitions on Davis’ behalf, and prominent supporters included an ex-president and an ex-FBI director, liberals and conservatives. His attorneys said seven of nine key witnesses against him disputed all or parts of their testimony, but state and federal judges repeatedly ruled against him—three times on Wednesday alone.

...

Davis’ supporters staged vigils in the U.S. and Europe, declaring “I am Troy Davis” on signs, T-shirts and the Internet. Some tried increasingly frenzied measures, urging prison workers to stay home and even posting a judge’s phone number online, hoping people will press him to put a stop to the lethal injection. President Barack Obama deflected calls for him to get involved.

“They say death row; we say hell no!” protesters shouted outside the Jackson prison before Davis was executed. In Washington, a crowd outside the Supreme Court yelled the same chant.

I am not familiar with the details of this case at all, but if what Ann Coulter writes about it is even reasonably accurate, they had him dead to rights.

It’s nearly impossible to receive a death sentence these days—unless you do something completely crazy like shoot a cop in full view of dozens of witnesses in a Burger King parking lot, only a few hours after shooting at a passing car while exiting a party.

That’s what Troy Davis did in August 1989. Davis is the media’s current baby seal of death row.

After a two-week trial with 34 witnesses for the state and six witnesses for the defense, the jury of seven blacks and five whites took less than two hours to convict Davis of Officer Mark MacPhail’s murder, as well as various other crimes. Two days later, the jury sentenced Davis to death.

Now, a brisk 22 years after Davis murdered Officer MacPhail, his sentence will finally be administered this week—barring any more of the legal shenanigans that have kept taxpayers on the hook for Davis’ room and board for the past two decades.

It has been claimed—in The New York Times and Time magazine, for example—that there was no “physical evidence” connecting Davis to the crimes that night.

Davis pulled out a gun and shot two strangers in public. What “physical evidence” were they expecting? No houses were broken into, no cars stolen, no rapes or fistfights accompanied the shootings. Where exactly would you look for DNA? And to prove what?

I suppose it would be nice if the shell casings from both shootings that night matched. Oh wait—they did. That’s “physical evidence.”

Now the media claim that seven of the nine witnesses against Davis at trial have recanted.

First of all, the state presented 34 witnesses against Davis—not nine—which should give you some idea of how punctilious the media are about their facts in death penalty cases.

I guess the news story quoted here, from Fox News, is their liberal bias shining through, what with them being all “fair and balanced”. 34 witnesses not 9? Oh, uh huh, “key” witnesses ... more important than the other ones ... and the “key” part is decided by whom? Riiiiiight. Crivens, the guy’s own friends saw him do it and testified as much. And the shell casings from both shootings matched. And Davis himself disallowed the recant testimony of 2 of those waffling witnesses!

I think this may be another case of blacks being above the law because they are black, and therefore allowed to get away with anything (like OJ) because other blacks were mistreated in the past. Therefore even arresting one is raaaaaacist. Um, no, that’s not how it works.  But wait! Hold on a second!

With death penalty opponents so fixated on Davis’ race—he’s black—it ought to be noted that all the above witnesses are themselves African-American. The first man Davis shot in the car that night was African-American.

Now that makes a whole new kettle of fish, doesn’t it? Or does it? Black guy commits a crime against another black guy, a whole passel of black people witness it and testify, and the jury who convicts him is more than half black. Guess we’ve got to put the Race Card back in the deck until next time. Ah, if only it was Oprah Winfrey pointing all this out, instead of lily white fish belly pale Ann Coulter. Then it would all be Ok, right?

One For Peiper

Peiper is on vacation, so I’ll make a few posts on his behalf. This one is right up his alley.

TRAVELLERS from the illegal Dale Farm site are setting up a new camp 60 miles away in Luton.

At least 20 caravans have been taken to a picturesque park in the Bedfordshire town — and travellers said up to 40 more would soon arrive.

Council chiefs in Luton said they had started eviction procedures — as the travellers continued to fight moves to evict them from the Dale Farm site in Basildon, Essex.

One of the movers warned: “There’ll be 40 more caravans coming from Dale Farm. We have nowhere else to go.”

Caravans began arriving at Stockwood Park, a 100-hectare site near the M1, on Monday evening. One man was allegedly seen pulling up in a mobile home and using boltcutters to break a lock on park gates.

Cars dropped off caravans in the park before heading off to pick up more, locals said.

One [local resident] called police but said it took an hour for officers to show up.

The resident said: “We don’t want Dale Farm’s problems here. The police and council should have responded quicker to stop them getting on the land.”

Travellers at the new camp — 60 miles from the Dale Farm site at Basildon, Essex — were unrepentant yesterday as their kids played happily in the park.

On Monday the High Court granted the Dale Farm families an 11th-hour reprieve, banning bailiffs from clearing the barricaded camp until Friday.

Irish traveller Flint Devons, 29, who lived at Dale Farm for seven years, said the threat of eviction had made him ill.

He said: “I moved to Luton rather than wait for the bailiffs because my health was suffering.

Stockwood Park, near M1 junction 10, has a rugby club, football pitches, 18-hole golf course, riding stables and children’s play area.

Luton Borough Council yesterday began legal action to remove the travellers from the park.

A spokesman said: “The council was made aware of the encampment and immediately started the standard legal procedure for eviction. We expect to move them on very soon.”

you can not steal your property from the thief who took it, victim is advised

Darn, where’s the time go?  Need more. Like another month. At least.

You’ll recall the posts with regard to how a person’s home ain’t their castle these days.  Welcome to 21st century Britain, where apparently some ppl of some small authority, don’t think his stolen bike is his either.  Nope.  It’s the property of the thief.  Think I’m kidding?
Here. Take a look.

Bungling police tell victim of bike thief ‘you can’t take it back, the crook could sue you’ ... and then let thief escape

Cyclist spotted his stolen bicycle in the High Street after it was stolen from his shed

Police botch CCTV operation to catch robber

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

A cyclist whose bike was stolen was flabbergasted when bungling police stopped him from taking it back - and then let the thief ride off on it.

Simon Turner, 48, spotted his bicycle chained up on a busy high street as he shopped with his six-year-old son, Giles.

But after he approached a Police Community Support Officer in his home town of Maidenhead he was told not to break the lock and retrieve his stolen bike.

The PCSO told him it was not his property and the crook would be able to sue him if he took it.

Mr Turner was told police would monitor the area using CCTV and catch the criminal.

But the next day he heard the thief had slipped through their fingers and had walked off with his bike for a second time.

Two men, who could not be identified, had unlocked the bicycle and taken it away from the high street in Maidenhead, Berkshire.

Mr Turner said: ‘I’m absolutely appalled. The worst thing was, when we found the bike, we had to explain to Giles why we had to leave it and let the thief get it.

‘He was scared that maybe his bike would be stolen as well.’

The black and burgundy Universal bicycle - which was stolen from his shed in early August - had cost him £55 second hand, and he had made various improvements.

When he saw it chained up outside a McDonald’s in the town centre later that month, he even offered the PCSO £5 to pay to replace the lock so that he could get his bike back. But he was advised that the thief could sue for damage.

He said: ‘I gave details of a hidden technical modification. She looked and there it was, clearly proving it was my bike.

‘I said I’d go home and get some tools and remove it but they said we couldn’t remove the bike.

‘They said, “you’ll be damaging the lock and it’s not your property”.

‘The PCSO was taking advice from another officer over the phone and was just as incredulous as I was.’

Mr Turner, who runs a home tuition company, then had to sit back and wait while the police allowed the thief to get away.

‘I was tempted to hang around and see who came to take it back but I was with my son and it wouldn’t have been practical,’ added Mr Turner, who lives with wife Anu in Maidenhead.

A Thames Valley Police spokesman said: ‘The PCSO was acting on the advice of a colleague and we’ve yet to establish exactly what happened.

‘However, it does appear the incorrect advice was given to her and there were other steps that could have been taken at the time.

‘We’d like to apologise for this mistake and reassure the gentleman concerned that we are doing all we can to track down the person or people who stole his bicycle.’

The Citizens Advice Bureau advises that police can seize goods if they have reasonable grounds for believing they have been obtained illegally, or are evidence in relation to an offence.

it’s official. life is only worth 14 years, if the killer is underage. outrage

Where to begin?  This is such an outrageous affront to a sense of justice.  Life is indeed cheap. How cheap? Try fourteen years for cold blooded, calculating murder.  It make the blood boil.
This miserable underage excuse for something human decided to win a bet, as you will read. And so he did but first he had to murder his innocent and trusting girlfriend, by beating her to death with a rock.  Which he happily described to a friend.

He went to court grinning and jovial but broke down only when found guilty. I guess the scum didn’t think he’d be convicted due to his boyish age.

The bastard got 14 years.  He’ll still be in the prime of his life, but by then his criminal skills will no doubt be honed.
It’s really too bad there are no vigilantes, who could take this bag of worthless dirt out in the very same way he killed his young victim.
That would be justice served.  As of now, there is zero justice for the victim or her family.  Just a lifetime of angst and tears at every missed birthday and every missed holiday. 

The idea that is forced on the public by the usual hand wringers, that we must not give in to revenge or base instincts as we’re a civilized people, is bullshit.
No, the death penalty won’t halt crime.  But it might cause many to think 2wice if they were certain they’d pay for their act in the very same manner they took out their victims.

In reading the comments following the article, I haven’t noticed anyone saying, ‘Only in England,’ as many do when referring to crime or some moral outrage in the USA when folks here always say, ‘Only in America’ as tho it’s an original statement.

14 fuckin’ years for a crime like this is itself a crime!

Devastated mother calls for return of the death penalty after 16-year-old who battered her daughter to death with a rock is jailed for 14 years

Friend offered killer free breakfast if he carried out the attack

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
Last updated at 3:41 PM on 2nd September 2011

A mother whose daughter was battered to death by her ex-boyfriend has called for the return of capital punishment, saying the killer had ‘forfeited his human rights’.

16-year-old Josh Davies was today sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of Rebecca Aylward, 15, and told he will serve at least 14 years in prison.

Davies had lured Rebecca, of Maesteg, near Bridgend in south Wales, into a wood and smashed her skull in with a rock the size of a rugby ball, after a friend promised him a free breakfast if he killed the girl.

He then left his former girlfriend face-down in the rain wearing new clothes she had bought for their meeting.

The brutal murder was carried out in an isolated area of woodland at Aberkenfig, near Bridgend, last October.

Davies was sentenced at Swansea Crown Court today and told he will not be eligible for release until he has served 14 years in prison.

A few weeks before the murder, a friend told Davies he would ‘buy him breakfast’ if he killed Rebecca.

Two days before he killed her, he texted the friend with the message: ‘Don’t say anything but you may just owe me a breakfast.’

Sonia Aylward, the victim’s mother, hit out after the sentencing hearing, and called for the death penalty for Davies.

‘The evil-doer Joshua Davies robbed us of watching our precious and perfect little girl flourish into a successful young woman.

‘We will never forgive him for tearing our world apart so brutally and I would welcome the return of capital punishment for the likes of Joshua Davies, who forfeited his human rights when he chose to take my daughter’s life.’

She said her daughter was ‘a promising student, a wonderful friend but, most importantly, a loved and loving daughter and sister.

‘There is no doubt in my mind that Rebecca was destined for great things.’

Thanking members of the public and the prosecution team for their support, she said: ‘Rebecca believed in the justice system and today justice has been served.’

Speaking outside the court, she added: ‘I would have like it to be longer but it’s only a starting point. He has to show remorse obviously but whether he will in the long-run I don’t know.

‘I wish he would tell us exactly what he did in the woods but I don’t think he will.

‘I want to know why he did it. I want to know everything that happened there.’

Earlier trial judge Justice Lloyd Jones called Davies ‘devious, calculating and controlling’ as he passed sentence. He told him that he had shown no remorse.

Peter Rouch QC, his barrister, began today by saying that Davies still did not acknowledge his guilt.

He told the court that he maintained the same version of events he had told the jury, that his best friend was the real killer.

‘My instructions remain the same, in that Joshua Davies stands by the version that he gave during the course of the trial.’

stop thief? among a large group of thieves. uk riot

It’s 5 in the morning here and I don’t have anything I want to say. Mind and body a wreck, been up since 3:30. Freekin doctor. More worried that I might become addicted to a medication that works, then what a vicious cough is doing to the body. Have to call in when office opens in three hours.
Anyway, I came downstairs for a hot soothing drink and thought, hell with it. I’m up. I’ll boot.
And found this.

Pack of looters caught on camera pulling biker off his scooter and stealing it

By CHRIS PARSONS
Last updated at 1:09 AM on 17th August 2011

It may look at first like this scooter rider is simply trying to negotiate his way through a busy High Street.

But once it becomes clear the rider was weaving his way through a crowd of looters in Croydon last week, the outcome is sickeningly predictable.

Seconds after being spotted, the learner rider is dragged from his scooter by a thuggish gang at the peak of last week’s breakdown of law and order - before another thief makes off with the vehicle.

And even with all the evidence available via street cameras and personal stories coming out, there are still idiots on the left looking for understanding for the behavior of criminal minded scum.

In Birmingham, West Midlands Chief Constable Chris Sims called for ‘compassion’ for some of the rioters.

He said: ‘There are tragic offenders as well as tragic victims. Young people who have been in care for most of their lives. We need to show some compassion and be pragmatic about how we deal with these people.’

However, he added: ‘There has to be a deterrent to stop people thinking they can behave like this in future.’

New Digs For The Murderer Down The Street

Ex-Net star Jayson Williams is preparing to move from a prison in rural New Jersey to Rikers Island.

He is expected to be transferred from Wrightstown’s Mid-State Correctional Facility next Friday after doing 18 months for aggravated assault. Then he’s to begin serving a one-year sentence for DWI in New York City.

Williams, 43, drove his SUV into a tree in lower Manhattan a week after accepting a plea deal in the accidental shotgun death of a limo driver in his New Jersey mansion in 2002.

Back in 2002 Jayson Williams, a resident of Alexandria NJ (right down the road here ... in Michigan, right Peiper?? ) was partying with his home boys and showing off, and snapped the action closed on a very expensive Browning Citori O/U shotgun. Which just happened to be loaded, and the gun “accidentally” discharged. Because $3000 shotguns are such crap you know.Limousine driver Gus Christofi, the only white guy in the house, just happened to be standing where the gun was pointing. As he lay on the floor bleeding to death, Williams and his pals panicked and tried to create a cover-up, at first trying to claim that the driver had committed suicide. The trial was a disaster, another OJ-ish deliberate fiasco, where it was “found” that the shotgun, utterly jammed solid with dirt, grease, and sawdust inside, might just actually have accidentally discharged. What wasn’t “found” was that that “forensic” examination was one of the most ham-handed and poorly done affairs ever. Which was just so convenient, that other people couldn’t resist playing that riff. And thus Williams got off, but the jury hung on the lesser charges.

(2/23/2010) ALEXANDRIA TOWNSHIP (actually Somerville NJ)—Former New Jersey Net Jayson Williams apologized in tears at his sentencing today for fatally shooting a limousine driver in 2002.

The 42-year-old retired athlete pleaded guilty last month to fourth-degree aggravated assault for the death of Costas “Gus” Christofi, 55, at the estate Williams owned in Alexandria Township.

“I know there’s nothing I can do to bring Mr. Christofi back,” Williams said to Christofi’s family. “I am deeply deeply sorry… I pray that today brings you some comfort.”

“To my family, please forgive me for the pain I’ve caused you,” Williams said, his voice cracking. “You deserve a better father, son, brother than I have been.”

As part of a deal, the State Attorney General’s Office asked Superior Court Judge Edward Coleman, sitting in Somerville, to give Williams 18 months in prison for the assault charge. The state also recommended up to five years in prison for trying to cover up the shooting that occurred in a bedroom of the Hunterdon County mansion. He would have to serve 18 months before he is eligible for parole.

Williams first went to trial in 2004, and a jury acquitted him of aggravated manslaughter, the most serious offense. He was convicted of the four charges related to the cover-up. Reckless manslaughter was the only charge on which jurors could not agree. He was slated to be retried this year, but pleaded guilty Jan. 11. During that hearing, Williams admitted that he pulled a shotgun from his gun collection on Feb. 14, 2002. He failed to check whether the safety mechanism was on, or if the gun was loaded, and he didn’t pay attention to where the muzzle was pointed. When he snapped the gun shut, it discharged and hit Christofi in the chest.

Sucks to be rich, don’t it? Murder a guy in cold blood, have your lawyers spin some fancy bullshit, have somebody else doctor the evidence, and you just about walk. 18 months for murder. But, gosh, Jayson has Found Jesus in jail, and preaches there daily. Hallelujah.

(news item from 2002) An autopsy on the body of the limousine driver gunned down in the New Jersey mansion of former NBA star Jayson Williams confirmed the death was not a suicide, a medical examiner said yesterday. But the ruling was little comfort to the grieving family of Costas (Gus) Christofi as they gathered for his funeral - while Williams remained out of sight.

Kneeling before the gray coffin holding her slain brother’s body, Andrea Adams shook as she quietly wept at St. George Greek Orthodox Church in Piscataway, N.J. Christofi, 55, a bachelor who lived in Washington Township, N.J., was eulogized by Father John Theodosion as a man who turned his life around after a bout with drug addiction that landed him in prison.
...
Published reports have contended Williams accidentally shot Christofi as he haphazardly twirled a shotgun while giving friends a tour of the 40-room Alexandria Township home last Thursday.

(from the first trial) SOMERVILLE, N.J. - Limo driver Costas (Gus) Christofi was still breathing when Jayson Williams wiped his own fingerprints off a still-hot shotgun, a prosecution witness testified yesterday.

It was only after the former Nets star tried to press the dying man’s prints onto the 12-gauge, double-barrel Browning that a 911 call was made, said witness Craig Culuko.

The damaging testimony came during a day-long prosecution barrage against Williams, who is accused of recklessly shooting Christofi early Feb. 14, 2002, in the master bedroom of his rural New Jersey mansion, then trying to make it appear the man had committed suicide.

Witness John McPartland of Mahwah, N.J., said he was playing basketball on the retired NBA star’s indoor court when he heard a commotion upstairs.

He said when he reached the living room, a flustered Curly (Boo) Johnson, a member of the famed Harlem Globetrotters, told him, “Jayson shot the limo driver.

(more from the first trial) A drunken Jayson Williams angrily cursed at a limousine driver in his mansion before snapping closed a loaded shotgun - and fatally shooting the man, prosecutors charged yesterday.

“What the [expletive] are you doing in my mother[expletive] room, you [expletive] stoolie?” Williams asked the driver, according to a witness.

Another guest at the ex-Net’s elaborate New Jersey home told authorities the former NBA star called the driver a “mother [expletive]” seconds before the gun fired.

The stunning statements were revealed in court documents filed yesterday by prosecutors.

They provided the most detailed account yet of what happened the night Costas Christofi bled to death on Williams’ bedroom floor.

Me, carry a grudge? Not hardly. But I knew Gus, in passing. We both used the same gas station down the street here, and we’d chatted at the pumps a couple times. Have fun on Rikers, Jayson. Hope Jesus can save your ass in that place. Maybe your ex-wife will come visit when she’s not too busy being on a reality TV show. Don’t count on it.

mommy claims rights violation & police brutality for rioter son

Well folks, the govt. is now promising to get tough and address the problem of crime and streets taken over by gangs.  Everything the govt. is now promising is so darned overdue. Why?  Why did it take what happened last week for those jerks to wake the hell up? A violent rape and robbery by a 15 year old, homes burned to the ground and businesses destroyed, people beaten senseless and four needless deaths.  And now the powers that leech come up with plans and suggestions.

It is not at all like the general public has been silent for the last dozen years.  Editorials in papers have been calling, no begging more like, to turn things around. Scrap the damned European human rights legislation, for starters. Now they are talking about it. Talking. Talking isn’t enough. Do it! 
People have been begging for years (all the time I’ve been here anyway) for stiffer penalties for criminal behavior. Punishment that means something other then a bragging trophy to share with friends.

When I first visited England many years ago as an artist’s agent and road manager, I was amazed at how safe some of the streets seemed to be here.  Sure, every city in the world has places that are not safe.  But we covered hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of miles criss-crossing the UK from England to Scotland and Wales and one of our tours took in Land’s End.  By the time we finished we covered a few thousand miles. Take a look at this island and a few thousand miles is a heck of a lot.
Travelling all those miles through various towns and cities, I never saw the things that are commonplace today. Even in our out of the way (to a degree) area. The mindless public drunkenness by very young girls now called ladettes who match the lads drink for drink and violence for violence.  Ladettes. The word has even entered the dictionary.

I saw places I thought might be wonderful to live in.  Devon, The Cotswolds, Cornwall, The Yorkshire Dales, Cumbria. Oh god. Cumbria! I’d love to go back there again. And Dorset. And our own county of Hampshire, which includes The New Forest, which of course is a thousand years old.  I have been to all these places and had fallen madly in love with them, as you might too if only you could personally experience their beauty for yourself.  Breathtaking doesn’t even begin to describe it.

There are more beautiful places on this island then there are ugly.  The dismal part of this country is where people of no vision have built. 

So the Brits have a beautiful place to call home, and for all the mistakes of empire they still have a history they should be damn proud of.  Hundreds of years of it.
And it’s only taken about 30 years to toss it all down the drain.
It’s all come down to last week’s bloody riots by young people, many well educated and even from wealthy homes. Riots and the attending mayhem seen as a fun night out by the lowest sort of world scum outside killer terrorists.
Has it all come down to this?

My son’s the victim, says mother who faces eviction from her taxpayer-funded flat
By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

The mother of an alleged looter who faces eviction from her flat now says her son is the victim of police brutality.
Daniel Sartain-Clark, 18, was photographed bleeding outside a branch of Currys in Clapham Junction, South London, after it had been ransacked by looters.
It is alleged he was attempting to steal electronic goods and attempted to resist arrest.

But his mother, Maite De La Calva, 43, claims police pushed him to the ground and struck him on the head with a baton, leaving a deep gash.
She said his 18-year-old girlfriend, J-Niel Starkei, who was also arrested, was hit in the face and suffered a cut lip.

Sartain-Clark denies burglary and violent disorder, and is in custody awaiting a further hearing on Wednesday.
In the first case of its kind, he and his mother have been served with an eviction notice as council bosses seek to turf them out of their £225,000 taxpayer-subsidised flat in Battersea.

mom claims rights violation

Mommy says son and girl friend were stupidly curious and just wanted to see what was happing and so there they were when cops arrived.
Should the kid be given the benefit of the doubt? See the photos at link and a bit more of the article.

Meanwhile, David Starkey, the historian I posted about yesterday is still coming under attack from the usual libtard sources, who do not even have the brains or the common courtesy to quote him correctly. In at least one case in a major paper, someone has even managed to quote something he did not say.

England sick’, says woman forced to leap from burning building

I’ve lost count of the number of times this photo has been shown.  It’s one hell of an image and I can imagine (I think) what she must have felt.

She’s from Poland, says England is sick, but wants to stay here.  ??? 

Well, most folks think it has become sick but my bet is that after all the shouting is done and the politicians have made their tough on crime speeches, things will settle down to the same old same old. Why? Cos the left in this country just won’t allow the death penalty to return and they have friends even among some conservatives.  I guess we’ll just have to see how things play out over time.  So stay tuned on this one. We’ll see who the liars and fraudsters are about the time of the next, ‘demonstration.’

And obtw ... just to show ya how brilliant we all of us are here at BMEWS, haven’t we all said long ago that lenient sentencing for thugs only encouraged more of the rats to continue their criminal behavior.  How many times have we discussed crime and punishment and been outraged by the sort of soft punishment, if it can be called that, for horrific crimes of violence.

So then ... on that subject that we all knew, but nobody among the powers that leech gave any thought to consulting any of us. Who had answers to these vexing problems at least 30 years ago, what do you suppose the Prime Minister does.
He goes to America for a “Crime Advisor.” The very country that led the world and made the words Scotland Yard the European equivalent to the Canadian Mounties, who always got their man; England now looks to America for advice on fighting gang violence. And guess what advice he has so far, from the former NYPD and LAPD, which by the way this country will pay for when BMEWS could happily given free?  Well take a look.

UK riots: young thugs ‘should fear the police’, says David Cameron’s new crime adviser

Young thugs and gang members should be made to “fear” the police and the prospect of serious punishment for acts such as looting, says David Cameron’s new crime adviser.

In an interview with the Telegraph, Bill Bratten said many gang members have been “emboldened” by over cautious policing and “lenient sentencing policies.”

All of England knew that ASBOs were a total failure and seen as a joke and something to aspire to, by the street gangster yobs. And so now the country has seen some serious rioting and NOT all by the poor and disadvantaged.  But you should read and hear, as I do, the excuses made for the criminal behavior this past week. And worse yet, the punks are being interviewed and parroting the excuses being made for them by many on the left.  Perhaps excuses is a strong word but what I hear are ppl trying to explain away the riot while at the same time trying not to condone the barbarity.

‘I thought England was civilised - but it’s sick’, says woman forced to leap from burning flat during riots

By Anna Edwards

Mother Monika Konczyk came to live in the UK for a fresh start and to carve out a better life for herself.

The hard-working Pole had moved to England just a few months ago to join her sister, believing the country to be full of ‘gentle and kind’ people who lived in a civilised society.

But after a pack of yobs set her street on fire and Miss Konczyk had to leap from her first-floor flat to escape the flames ripping through her flat, the the 32-year-old shop assistant has branded England ‘sick’.

Miss Konczyk rents a flat that backs onto the House of Reeves shop and on Monday night had watched the riots on her television and was getting ready to go to bed.

But rioters gleefully set the family furniture shop alight and, fearing that her home was about to be engulfed in the inferno, the mother-of-one quickly packed a bag and tried to flee through the only door.

‘I found myself jumping for my life after being attacked by thugs and thieves. They set fire to my building without any thought for anyone’s safety.

‘They were happy for me to die. They were like animals - greedy, selfish animals who thought only of themselves.’

The image of her jumping from her first floor flat as flames tore through the building has become an iconic image of the riots.

News of the Weird

Did you know that popping your pimples in public (I love that alliteration!) is against the law?

Owen Lemire Kato, 23, was being removed as a trespasser from the restaurant at 2404 Santa Barbara Blvd. South after standing near the north entrance for more than 10 minutes and attracting the ire of customers, who had complained someone was popping pimples on his back, according to a police report.

Now, I’ll say that popping pimples in public (I still love the alliteration) is definitely in poor taste. But a crime you can be arrested for? I’d really love to see what he’s actually charged with. He wasn’t creating a health hazard–he was outside of the restaurant. BTW, somewhere else I read that the bus stop is in front of that McDonald’s. So he was waiting for the bus.

On a further note, I’ve misspent some time imagining I’ve a pimple on my back. How do you pop a pimple if you can’t see it? Mostly, I couldn’t actually reach large portions of my back.

Who writes this crap?

First, the good news;

After eight days on the lam, the Dougherty Gang are trapped on the side of the road, their car nearly flipped on a speed break, with flashing police car lights all around. In a futile attempt to escape, Grace Dougherty runs through a dusty Colorado field, a Walsenberg police officer on her heels. She turns to shoot, but the cop’s bullet hits her leg first. The mayhem ends.

Well and good. I’m glad the officer shot the bitch. She posted on her Flickr profile:

I’m 28 but act like I’m 17 most of the time. I love to farm and shoot guys…

Truly the girlfriend from Hell.

What got me PO’d about the article was this:

Five hours later two masked men and a woman matching their description burst into a bank in Valdosta, Ga. brandishing automatic weapons.

Automatic weapons? I highly doubt it. Note that the writer doesn’t identify what kind of weapons were brandished. Semi-auto pistols? Semi-auto rifles? But full-fledged machine guns? Not likely.

riots and aftermath and gentle slap on wrist for the very young.

Please click on this image ....

Police furious at sentences handed out to young rioters despite Cameron’s vow they will pay the price
By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Police are disappointed with sentences being handed out to the rioters that have brought chaos to England’s streets, senior chiefs have revealed.
David Cameron has insisted that anyone involved in the violent unrest of recent days will feel the full force of the law, regardless of their age.

But Deputy Assistant Commissioner Stephen Kavanagh has admitted some his officers in London are unhappy with the punishments they have been given.
Child looters are being freed and allowed to return home to their families - and because of their age the law dictates their identities have to be protected.

Their confidence that they would escape with a slap on the wrist despite flaunting their contempt for the law appears to have been borne out.
The vast majority of young children appearing before the courts have been released under referral orders, which oblige them only to meet support workers or observe curfews.

Among them was a 12-year-old boy who admitted stealing a bottle of wine and an 11-year-old girl rioter.
The hands of magistrates are largely tied when dealing with the youngest children, meaning prison is an absolute last resort.

Mr Kavanagh said: ‘Some of us have been disappointed by some of the early sentences we have seen, especially those officers who have been on the front line facing the violence and disorder.’

The top policeman revealed he and Acting Met Chief Tim Godwin had already raised their concerns about sentencing to ministers.
‘The Commissioner and Home Secretary have had positive discussions and totally agree about the need for sentences to reflect the crimes and the hugely devastating impact on the people of London,he said.

If you go here, POLICE UNHAPPY you’ll notice photos of two of the little shits. Interesting but not too surprising.  The 11 year old girl (who appears lots older) refused to even say sorry in court.  The rat ass boy in red was the model of repentance in court, but showed what he was outside when he told a reporter to fuck off.  He also has a record so this isn’t the first time the little bastard has been in trouble.

Drew was right when he suggested flame throwers in one of the comments he made.
I said that long ago and really think they should be used.  There’d never be another riot. At least not by the same crowd.
One of the scum out having fun was the daughter of a millionaire. Another was a teaching assistant.

This whole thing is disgusting.

a reporter wonders if, “they will be coming for us tonight”

Some first hand accounts of encounters with sub species running riot ...........

I have nothing to add that would shed light or be interesting.

CALL THE POLICE, THE EIGHT-YEAR-OLD THUGS SNEERED. THEY WONT COME

Nicole Mowbray
Daily Mail

THERE was no sign that Monday night’s trouble would affect me as I hopped on my bicycle to make the six-mile journey home from work.
I’d been monitoring the news – violent clashes in Hackney and widespread looting in Peckham and Lewisham – but seen nothing to worry me about the ride to Brixton, South-West London.

There had been problems locally on Sunday night, however, and Brixton Underground station and high street remained closed throughout the next day. Cycling home would be easiest, I thought – and besides, at 7.4 pm, it was still light.

My journey is pretty, taking me through Battersea Park and up into Clapham. Turning off the busy Queenstown Road on to Silverthorne Road, my attention was drawn to a boy – around seven or eight years old – standing in the street at the entrance to the Robertson housing estate.

To my shock, as I slowed down, he threw a rock at me. It hit my handlebars with a loud clang.  Furious and disbelieving, I dismounted to give the little hoodie a telling-off. But then he bent down, picked up another rock – about the size of his palm – from a pothole and, with surprising force, threw it at my bike. It hit my arm. About eight of his friends, all under the age of 12 and dressed in tracksuits, arrived from nowhere, throwing stones and bottles of water that smashed over the road in front of me, soaking me and my bike.

The barrage was over in seconds, but as I started rummaging in my bag for my phone, they shouted ‘ call the police you f ****** stupid b****, they’re not going to do anything’, before casually sauntering off.

Angry and a bit shaken, I walked a few metres to the street corner, where I was greeted by groups of teenagers – and some 20-something women holding children by the hand – heading in the direction of Lavender Hill.

They were excitedly screeching about ‘going on the rob’ – one was even giving her friend a list of items to loot.
At this stage, I knew nothing of the trouble at Clapham Junction – but these people were larking about like they were off to a funfair, not a riot.
The sense of anarchy was palpable, and although I didn’t ring the police, I fear those eight-year-olds would have been right.

“feral rats” as young as 13

A baby clothes’ shop owner whose Ealing business was looted spoke of her anger at the “feral rats” as young as 13 who joined in the riots.

Liz Pilgrim, 43, who runs Babye, a boutique in Ealing, west London, near Ealing Studios, said she went to the store when she heard it was being attacked by youths.

She found it on fire, with her stock strewn across the streets, railings and even hanging on nearby trees on the green opposite.
Mrs Pilgrim, a mother of two who opened the shop seven years ago, said it was just “mindless violence” and had left her heartbroken.
“I am just absolutely devastated,” she said. “I just didn’t think that you could have something like that happen here.
“I think that we have a generation of youths disengaged from society, disenfranchised who just don’t care.

“They think this is fun, they don’t get the bigger picture. It is mindless, wanton violence.”

She said she had witnessed rioters as young as 13 tearing through Ealing. “I saw youths going back to cars last night after the riot.

“They were like feral rats. I saw a bus stolen and the passengers hijacked in it. If this doesn’t stop there is going to be a fatality,” she added.
“The number of young people I saw…, the parents must be to blame.

“Why were they out at that time of night? Where has respect gone? Where have values gone?”

She said she could not understand why someone would attack a baby shop and called for a tougher approach by police.
“It’s a mindless mob mentality,” she said. “We don’t want this namby pamby, messing around approach.

“I feel sick. I feel in shock. It is just so upsetting. It is mindless – a community turning on itself. Who would have thought there would be mob rule in Ealing?”
Mrs Pilgrim also called on David Cameron to “get a grip” and send in the Army to deal with the violence.

“My message to the Government, to David Cameron, whom I hope to meet, is to get a grip and if we can’t cope with the use of police officers that are on the street having to deal with this violence, then for Heaven’s sake get the Army involved or somebody who can deal with these young people. It seems so commonsensical to me.”

Tragedy of man beaten by rioters left fighting for life… but no one knows who he is as thugs stole his wallet and phone

By TOM KELLY and REBECCA CAMBER

A man left in a life-threatening condition after bravely remonstrating with rioters has not been identified - because the thugs who attacked him fled with his wallet and phone.  hopelessly outnumbered, a single police officer watched as the lone man,

said to be white and aged in his mid-40s to 50s, was set upon by a large mob of armed black teenagers after he confronted them for setting two industrial bins alight.
His relatives still don’t know that he was attacked by the pack of rioters - because police haven’t been able to work out who he is so they can break the bad news.

‘Bleeding, I called 999. A tired man told me to go home’

Andrew Gilligan reports on his own experiences of the lawlessness that swept across much of London and elsewhere.

It was one of those microseconds when you know exactly what is about to happen, without the slightest chance of stopping it.
The big black boy rode his bike straight at me, crashing me off my own and leaving us both tangled up on the ground. Then four more of them were racing towards me, clawing at my legs to get them off my bike, kicking me in the head as I tried to hold on. Two minutes later, it was all over. Ten minutes later, no doubt, it was being used to loot a newsagent’s.

Bleeding a little, I thought I might as well call 999. It was a recorded message. After four and a half minutes, a tired man answered. “There’s nothing we can do,” he said. “You know what’s going on. We have to give priority to saving people’s lives. I suggest you just go home.”

He was right, of course. I was in Hackney - which, that evening at least, was a law-free zone. That’s the worst thing about riots. Across much of London on Monday night, if someone had decided to break down your door and rape your daughter, there would have been nothing to stop them. There would have been no one to call.
When I was mugged, I was on my way home from a day in Tottenham, listening to the stories of the people who had lost far more and been at far greater risk than me, burned out of their homes at 30 seconds’ notice.

They called 999 too, frantically, desperately, as the riot moved closer. There were 100 police just up the road. The emergency operator could do nothing but listen to their terror.

I finished my journey in a cab. Three or four times, we had to stop and skirt round hooded boys spilling into the road, our windows closed and the door lock on. If they had fancied my taxi, there would have been nothing I or the driver could have done about that, either.

Even on Monday, the victims of Tottenham, black and white, were already tired of outsiders blaming racism, police brutality, or cuts. (What were they rioting about in prosperous, suburban Enfield – rising season-ticket prices?) The real reason for the rioters’ behaviour is much simpler: because they can.

Forget BlackBerry Messenger. After seeing — on television — how much leeway the looters of Tottenham were allowed, every criminal and every excitement-seeking child in London took note.

By the next day, critical mass had been achieved. Disorder had erupted on a scale much more difficult to suppress than the original outbreak.
There are, and always have been, plenty of people keen to break the law. On my taxi ride, I saw many other youngsters in twos and threes, hoods up, looking for the next crowd to join.

These are sights, with variations, that I have seen in foreign conflict zones: the loss of state authority and the loss of individual inhibition from being in a big group. But in London, the geography of fear is particularly potent.

Unlike Los Angeles or Paris, the riots are not happening in ghettos where nobody goes. They are happening amid the organic gastropubs and latte bars. Alongside poverty, inner London is full of the sort of middle-class progressives who agree with Ken Livingstone that the rioters “feel no one at the top of society, in government or City Hall, cares about them or speaks for them”.

I predict a lot of those people, as they cower behind their sash windows, are revising their views tonight. The hardening of liberal opinion in London is palpable, and is taking even the likes of Boris Johnson by surprise.

In my neighbourhood, Greenwich, they boarded up the shops at noon. God knows how much damage this is doing to the economy. It’s a beautiful, sunny evening. But our area is empty, like so much of inner London, as we wait in our homes with the TVs on to discover if;

THEY WILL BE COMING FOR US TONIGHT.

3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere
