Murder At Government House

Police on Thursday were preparing to charge the son of Papua New Guinea’s acting prime minister with murder after the body of a 29-year-old waitress was found at the family home.

Theo Abal, 21, will likely make his first court appearance Friday once he is charged in the killing of the woman, police spokesman Dominic Kakas said. He could face the death penalty if convicted.

A guard at the house told police he saw Abal and the woman arrive home in the early hours of Monday and head for a garden on the premises. Police said that the guard later heard the woman scream and that Abal confessed to killing her.

Kakas said her throat had been cut. A kitchen knife found near her body was the suspected weapon, he said.

Acting Prime Minister Sam Abal said he personally reported the “alleged murder” to Police Commissioner Tony Wagambie on Monday after the woman’s body was found at his home in the capital, Port Moresby.

He made no comment on his son’s alleged confession but pledged to cooperate fully. He said in a statement Tuesday that if any of his relatives are involved, “they will face the full brunt of the law and will not be treated differently from anyone else.”

… the island nation has had the death penalty for only a few years and has yet to carry out an execution, though a handful of defendants have been sentenced to death.

Theo Abal, the younger of Sam Abal’s two children, is unemployed and lives at his father’s house.

Kakas said the dead woman worked as a waitress at a Port Moresby hotel. Her name has not been made public.

Wagambie said Tuesday that the acting prime minister was away from the house and was alerted to the death by the security guard, who found the woman’s body in a banana garden.

Sam Abal - who is acting Prime Minister while Sir Michael Somare recovers from heart surgery - said on Tuesday that an ‘’unfortunate and regrettable incident’’ had taken place at the family’s Port Moresby home at the weekend. ABC radio reported yesterday that Teo Abal had been arrested. He had been missing since the body was found.

Mr Abal told the PNG Parliament on Tuesday that his family would co-operate with police to ensure justice was done.

‘’The alleged murder took place within the perimeters of my private home,’’ Mr Abal said in the Post Courier on Tuesday. Mr Abal had recently moved to a hotel and was not living at the Konedobu address, the newspaper said.
...
‘’We will not interfere in this case. If any of my family members are involved, they will face the full brunt of the law and will not be treated differently as anyone else in similar situations,’’ Mr Abal said.
‘’Anyone found to be involved will face the full consequences of the law. They will be charged with murder in the same way as any other person in society that has no regard for value of human life and dignity of a person,’’ he added.

Boy is it easy to draw inferences from this one. But let’s not be hasty. Papua New Guinea has been the target of Christian missionaries for a very long time, to the point where only a third of the population still follows the indigenous beliefs (former headhunters). Islam barely even has a toehold, making up less than 1% of the population. I think what we have here may be a case of a spoiled rich kid who wasn’t going to take a NO from a commoner.

[ from May 12 ] Papua New Guinea’s absent prime minister, Sir Michael Somare, has had heart-valve replacement surgery in Singapore, the PNG parliament has been told.

Three weeks after Sir Michael stepped down and handed the reins to deputy Sam Abal, it is still not known when he will return to work. Sir Michael is recovering in Singapore following corrective surgery after an earlier, operation on his heart, the Port Moresby-based Post Courier newspaper reported on Thursday.

The acting prime minister, Mr Abal, briefed parliament on Sir Michael’s condition.

“The people of Papua New Guinea have been praying for our prime minister since he was admitted into hospital for surgery last month,” Mr Abal was quoted as saying. “The surgery was successful but Sir Michael developed some complications in the post-operative period that required corrective surgery. Consequently, corrective surgery has taken place and Sir Michael is in recovery.”

Sir Michael was expected to return to the office on April 18 following a two-week suspension after he was found guilty of financial misconduct dating back 20 years.

I don’t know what the financial misconduct was, but I think it’s cool that the country gave their leader a big old Time Out for being a bad boy.

Really Ironic

LOS ANGELES—A 780-year-old religious relic of St. Anthony of Padua has been stolen, and parishioners at a Southern California Catholic church are praying to the patron saint of lost causes and missing objects for its speedy return.

The relic was stolen from inside a cabinet beside the altar at St. Anthony Catholic Church in Long Beach on Monday, the feast day of the church’s namesake.

The Rev. Jose Magana said he decided to bring out the relic this year, on the 780th anniversary of the death of St. Anthony, because many of his parishioners have lost hope in the rough economy.

The church opened at 6 a.m., and when Magana turned to the relic during the 9 a.m. Mass, it had disappeared. Magana could hear his parishioners gasp when they realized it was gone, but he continued with the service and called police immediately afterward.

Long Beach police Lt. Paul Arcala said the relic is housed in a 16-inch tall reliquary case with angel-shaped handles made of gold and silver on either side. He declined to describe it further because that might jeopardize the investigation.

Police were looking for a person who was seen at all five Masses on Sunday and was unusually curious about the relic, Arcala said. Witnesses said she got too close and had to be asked to step away. The woman was in her late 30s and was short and heavyset with wavy, shoulder-length black hair.

...

“People here are pretty upset but they’re praying. They’re praying to St. Anthony for the return of his own object.”

It takes a special kind of low life to steal from a church. Ripping off the alms box is bad enough, but stealing the religious possessions is far worse.

guy rapes, gets out of jail and … yeah. does it again. law and disorder.

As happens so often here, an article of maddening content comes along and even before I post it with my own take and or anger, one of our regulars posts a comment or two that’s right on the mark, on the subject of crime and punishment. Or as in this case, a total lack of it.

It’s this kind of thing that makes so many people have zero respect for the law and the courts.  In fact, there’s even more proof of that.

Recently, a young burglar broke into the home of an 80 year old woman with health problems.  She was sadly subject to strokes and she had one and died.
Since the criminal couldn’t have been aware of her condition, they didn’t bring manslaughter charges against him, and he was originally sentenced to 6months. So he went on Facebook and bragged about his short prison term.
Here’s what he wrote.

Liam Cunliffe , Is a happy bunni all I can say. DROPPED!! YAA X
The big 1 yaa haha x
Im only looking at 6 months haha bring it on easy! x

He ended up with two years and was quite surprised by the change of his term.

Here’s a comment from our Wardmom that sums up what many feel.

Meanwhile the killers and criminals are running amuck in our society - and then given plea bargains to get out of jail in no time at all. Tell me why at all a paedophile should ever, ever be released back into a society populated with children - or a murderer? Time in jail does nothing to ‘rehabilitate’ them nor make them less of a threat to innocent people. Kill them and free the people to not live in fear or danger. Toss the terrorists into that - and a few politicians - and the world would be a much better place.
Wardmama4

I suspect the majority of law abiding citizens feel the same.  But hell. Who listens to them?  It’s enough of a headache for politicians to keep their election war chests topped up, without having to worry about the petty concerns of those who are most at risk.

So anyway, here’s our latest WTF were they thinking.
Take a look.

Rapist released early attacked new victim within weeks

A rapist who was freed after serving just half his sentence sexually assaulted another woman weeks later.

By Mark Hughes, Crime Correspondent

Fabian Thomas, 23, was released in December last year after serving four years of an eight-year sentence for rape. He struck again in February, attacking a woman in a supermarket car park.

The Home Office is now investigating the case. It comes just weeks after Kenneth Clarke, the Justice Secretary, had to apologise following his defence of Government proposals to halve prison sentences for rapists who plead guilty early.

He suggested that some rapes were less serious than others. A Home Office spokesman said a review would be carried out into how Thomas was managed while on probation. But women’s groups and politicians seized on the case last night as an example of the consequences of letting rapists out of prison early.

Sadiq Khan, the shadow justice secretary, called on the Government to clarify its position on maximum sentences.

Angie Conroy, of Rape Crisis, said: “Letting him out early was an accident waiting to happen.”

Thomas’s first offence was on New Year’s Day 2006 when he twice raped and threatened to kill a girl, aged 17, in an alley in Taunton, Somerset.

He was sentenced in December 2006 to eight years in a young offenders’ institution. In December 2010 he was released and on Feb 20 he committed his second attack, when he attempted to rape a woman, aged 19, in a supermarket car park while brandishing a hunting knife and wearing a balaclava.

He admitted the attack at Plymouth Crown Court on Monday and will be sentenced at a date yet to be set.

Hope They Had Insurance

Pinheads strike it rich in 80G bowling-alley heist

Two armed robbers hit pay dirt when they stuck up a Brooklyn bowling alley—hauling away $80,000 in cash that had just been collected for tournament winners.

An employee of the bowling alley had just walked out Maple Lanes’ back door, on 60th Street near 16th Avenue, at about 4 p.m. Wednesday when the gunmen forced him back inside, police sources said.

The thieves hit one worker in the head with the butt of a gun, then rounded up the four employees in the place, ordered them to lie face down on the floor, and proceeded to bind their hands with duct tape, the sources said.

The thugs, each described as wearing dark clothing, sunglasses and a cap, then stuffed the money into a trash bag and fled.

The cash had been collected earlier in the day as proceeds for three bowling leagues. Some of it had been earmarked for tourney winners later in the day.

None of the employees reported suffering any serious injuries, police said.

Maple Lanes is one of the last remaining regular bowling centers in Brooklyn NY, in the Bensonhurst neighborhood. They’ve been a family owned business for over 50 years, the business passing from father to son. The LaSpina family also owns several other bowling centers in Queens and Long Island. The alley has 48 lanes.

We are not getting the whole story here or the correct one; no league puts more than 5 bowlers on a team, so even if the 3 leagues mentioned each took up all the lanes, that would imply that each bowler paid $111 for that week’s bowling. No. Not gonna happen. $20, maybe $25 tops. No sensible business keeps weeks worth of cash on hand either; they take it to the bank every day.

I’ve never been to this place, but a little web research shows that they run an annual scholarship tournament which raises $60,000 or more. That’s my first guess although it’s pure conjecture because I don’t have their schedule; it looks like the Peter J LaSpina Sr Memorial Scholarship Tournament was run back in April, but they could certainly have more than one such tourney per year. Perhaps the tournament runs across several months; the weekly bowling paper (see pg 3) implies that it is now over. Yes, there is a weekly bowling paper. Actually there are many many local editions of it across the country.

The only other reason I could see for them to have that much cash on hand would be if the three leagues were all doing their prize payout that day. Figure teams of 4, $6.50 per bowler per week into the prize fund, 30 week season, full size leagues of 34 teams ... yeah, that’s 80 grand. And the prize payouts are always in cash. And the last of the winter leagues have ended by now. Knowing all of this would imply some kind of an inside job; no one not familiar with several of the leagues in that particular bowling center would have this kind of knowledge.

Maple Lanes is located in a demographically dynamic area; right now it’s smack dab in the middle of a big Jewish neighborhood with a synagogue right across the street. But a changing democgraphic makes for an uncertain future for the lanes, because the cold truth is that some demographic groups just aren’t into bowling. There have been plans afoot for several years now to rezone the property and to sell the land to apartment builders.

So who knows? I just hope that they followed USBC’s directive and had everything insured. That’s what it’s there for.

Which reminds me, as President of the little rinky dink summer league I’m on, I’d better get to my bowling alley and see if I have to sign papers and stuff. Including the insurance policy, just in case. Yes, I’m the president. I didn’t get elected; I volunteered. I have to talk to the owner about the schedule too; after 3 weeks of bowling it looks like we only have 5 teams, not the 8 we thought we would. Bowling is not doing so well in my part of the state.

law and disorder and no one listening

A couple of stories popped up and the need to share this awful stuff is overwhelming.
What’s this country coming to?  Sadly .... this.  There is no punishment cruel enough for these sorts of low life pond scum. Look for things to get much worse as I do not believe the system in place is capable of dealing with them.
Which of course encourages more of the same.

Sick vandals behead 18 birds, and slaughter frogs and fish in ‘shocking’ attack at park wildlife attraction
By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
Last updated at 6:07 PM on 1st June 2011

The bodies of two of the birds killed by mindless thugs at Wythenshawe Park in Manchester
Vandals beheaded 18 birds, stamped a frog to death and poisoned hundreds of fish by pouring fertiliser into a pond after breaking into a family wildlife attraction.
Police said the level of cruelty was ‘shocking and distressing’.

The yobs also caused more than £10,000 worth of damage at the Horticultural Centre in Wythenshawe Park in Manchester, as they chopped down trees and smashed 130 windows.

They broke into the park some time between 4.30pm on Sunday and 10am the next day.
Councillor Mike Amesbury, Manchester City Council’s executive member for culture and leisure, said: ‘This is a sickening act of cruelty and vandalism, causing significant damage to a centre which has been enjoyed by generations of people.

‘I know that everything possible is being done to catch those responsible for this appalling crime and bring them to justice.’
Pc Terina Wild, of the Northenden Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: ‘The level of vandalism and cruelty shown by the offenders is shocking and distressing.

Laughing at the law: The thug who’s been convicted 40 times for 73 crimes

By JAYA NARAIN

When it comes to breaking the law James Gelling has few equals. At just 23 he has one of the worst criminal records in Britain.
His 40 convictions for 73 separate offences include robbery, burglary, assault and possessing a dangerous dog.
But as he was jailed yet again – this time for 12 weeks for attacking his ex-girlfriend – MPs called for an end to ‘revolving door’ soft sentences for offenders like him.

Gelling’s record began at 13 when he was sentenced to 18 months in a youth offenders’ institution for robbery, theft and assault.
On his release in 2002 he was handed a three-year Asbo for a catalogue of offences in the seaside town of Southport.

With his siblings Jordan, 11, and Ashley, 12, the notorious ‘Gelling Brothers’ were ‘named and shamed’ for the reign of terror which left residents living in fear.
Dr Pugh warned then that Asbos were a badge of honour among youths like Gelling and asked for a new approach to serial offenders. He said: ‘We need an altogether new, more robust series of measures to clamp down on thugs and louts. Asbos don’t work with people who don’t care about receiving them.’

District Judge Michael Abelson warned Gelling he would be locked up every time he breached probation orders attached to his release from jail. Inspector Tony Jones, neighbourhood officer for Southport, said: ‘All we can do is react and put him before the courts – the rest is up to him.’

This week a report revealed that almost two thirds of criminals avoid jail despite amassing at least 15 convictions.

Instead of being put behind bars, more than 62,000 offenders were given lesser punishments, such as community service or a fine, last year. More than 4,000 walked out of court with only a caution. The figures reveal that serial offenders are less likely to be given a jail sentence today than at any time in the past decade.

READ MORE AND PIX

See one thing wrong even now? Read Tony Jones again. What’s in his water? He says the rest is up to the criminal in this article. Huh? That isn’t the way it should be.  That kind of attitude is what’s wrong and broken about this system.
No,no. It should be up to the law and the courts to put ppl like this away for good or in the case of someone like this, capital punishment.

law and disorder but damn little justice

Things never change except the lame excuses.  And a jury that can be so dumb as to buy the argument of diminished responsibility.

There’s a couple of bothersome stories left over from a day ago.

In one case a 15 year old thick lipped jungle bunny stone cold killer, who blew away a young woman for £200 and also to impress da boyz in de hood. Typical I guess. Another case of the white man’s burden cept there’s a gang of the brutish sub human black bastards.  Given life which is doubtful what he’ll serve, the judge referred to him a child. Child? At 15, even in my far off innocent days 15 was no child. Yeah I know. In the eyes of the law yadda,yadda.  We all know the law’s pretty much an ass.

The other story is really one for the books though. This concerns a white killer who isn’t any better then the black gang mentioned above.
Here’s another creep who planned the killing of his wife.  He’d already threatened her with a knife, and she was frightened enough to hire a bodyguard and start divorce proceedings.
Well, he decided he had to kill her and so went out and went to the trouble of digging a grave AND, even going so far as to make a coffin lined with heavy plastic so it wouldn’t leak.  He buried her in a place authorities say nobody but he would ever find. And it was only found because he led the cops there.
Now that’s a lot of planning folks.  Seems to me he knew exactly what he was doing. Ah but the jury in their infinite stupidity or else naive beyond belief, bought into the old manslaughter due to diminished responsibility ploy.  He didn’t use the knife after all btw.  He decided on a hammer instead. 

The article doesn’t state where the bodyguard was or if she’d dispensed with the service. Read all the story for yourself.
Diminished responsibility indeed. In a pig’s eye. Another killer with another excuse to justify a cold blooded killing. At some point you all know damn well some shrink will declare that his shrunken mental state is restored to normal and his responsibility is clear to go.  What he deserves is a death in the very same manner he gave his wife.  No hope of that however.

British Airways pilot who dug grave in park cleared of murdering his wife

Robert Brown, a British Airways pilot who dug a grave in a park weeks before killing his wife Joanna was today cleared of her murder.

By Victoria Ward, Nigel Bunyan and Andrew Hough 11:39AM BST 24 May 2011

Brown, 47, killed his wife in a hammer attack on the doorstep of her sprawling, mock-Tudor mansion near Ascot, following a costly divorce battle.
He wrapped her blood-soaked body in plastic sheeting and buried her in a carefully constructed plastic coffin he had lowered into a quiet corner of a park several weeks earlier.

Yesterday, a jury cleared Brown of murder. He had earlier admitted manslaughter by means of diminshed responsibility claiming he was suffering extreme stress during the divorce. He was also convicted of preventing a coroner from holding an inquest by disposing of a body.

During his eight-day trial, Reading Crown Court heard claims that the airline captain had become consumed with greed, desperate to win a large slice of his wife’s fortune, despite having signed a pre-nuptial agreement which prevented him from doing so.
It was claimed he had dismissed Mrs Brown’s offer of a £500,000 settlement and wanted her £3 million house in Ascot, Berks.

Teenage hitman, 15, who was caught on CCTV gunning down innocent mother is jailed for life
Last updated at 12:21 PM on 24th May 2011

* Half-brother convicted of murder of lawyer Tom ap Rhys Pryce in 2006
* Cousin given life sentence over shooting of Lee Subaran in 2004
* Judge lifts order granting him anonymity

A teenage hitman who was caught on CCTV shooting a young mother dead was jailed for life with a minimum term of 20 years at the Old Bailey today.

Santre Sanchez Gayle, 15, was paid just £200 to carry out the murder of Gulistan Subasi – a fee he used to buy a gold Dolce and Gabbana beanie hat.

The boy, known by the street name Riot, will spend at least two decades behind bars after being convicted of the cold-blooded murder, described by a Judge Stephen Kramer as ‘an efficient, ruthless and calculated execution’.

There was sobbing from the public gallery as the killers were taken down to begin their sentences.
Judge told Gayle that his ‘youth and immaturity’ were factors in the crime.

But he added: ‘Anyone seeing the short but telling CCTV clip of the shooting cannot but be struck by the chillingly deliberate and cold-blooded way in which you went about your business.’

The judge described Gayle as a low-level cannabis dealer who expected to be paid £2,000 for the murder but was short-changed and only paid £200.

‘You were an easily-led, immature youngster, who, if money was involved, was capable of violence out of loyalty, having cynically been used by others.

‘You shot and killed Gulistan for money, and at the bidding of an older man who you were trying to impress.’

The judge said it was not possible to say who was behind the killing or who recruited Billy to find someone to carry it out.

Miss Subasi had been staying with her mother at the time and was about to celebrate the birthday of her young child.

The judge told her killers: ‘You have deprived a mother of a much-loved daughter and a son of his mother.’

ALL THE REST HERE

Idiot judges just love the sound of their own voices. Why is he telling these darkies what they already know? Does he think they have the capacity to care?
In yesterday’s edition of this article, the 15 yr old was bragging about what he’d done, and telling friends that he left no telling evidence behind. And as for ‘youngster,’ I don’t think that has anything to do with it.  At any age this thug was merely reverting to type. I shouldn’t say reverting cos that infers he may not have always been that way. But of course he was. You only have to look at he and his sub species friends to see that. Their natural habitat is not the streets of a civilized country but running half naked through a jungle somewhere eating raw meat. 

There’s yet another story of a father and son stabbed while trying to help someone being attacked by a gang, but I’ll leave things with this tired subject that’s much beloved by critics of the American penal system, and why the hell do they care anyway?

What I have posted here is very much edited. The original article has more to do with things relating to the UK then the USA.
But the subject of America jailing it’s citizens as though every single miscreant were actually an American is maddening.  I think these ppl paint if not an incorrect picture then certainly one that is slanted. Read her for yourself and see.

The Right has learnt to play the game of magpie politics

As Barack Obama lands in Britain, on both sides of the Atlantic traditional Left-wing issues are being hijacked , says Mary Riddell.

Today, the leader of the free world will sweep into London behind the twin shield of a bomb-proofed Cadillac and the aura of glory conferred on him by Osama bin Laden’s execution. As Barack Obama told the American people after the killing: “We can do these things not just because of wealth and power, but because of who we are: one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

Mr Obama’s discussions with David Cameron will centre on how that prospectus can prevail across the planet. Back in the US, however, the president’s claims to be the guardian of universal liberty strike a hollow note. As the 2.4 million citizens serving time could testify, the land of the free is the most punitive developed nation on Earth.

One American adult in 100 is behind bars, rising to one in nine among young black men. The quadrupling of incarceration since 1970 cannot be explained by the brutishness of Americans, who are marginally less criminally inclined, though slightly more homicidal, than the English, or by the success of harsh sentencing: violent offences have risen for four decades.

Newt Gingrich, the former speaker of the House of Representatives and a presidential hopeful. It would be hardly more startling to discover that Attila the Hun was an early advocate of the Human Rights Act than to learn that Mr Gingrich is now the US’s leading prison reformer. Among the other campaigners who bear no discernible resemblance to Elizabeth Fry is Grover Norquist, an architect of thumb-in-your-eye Republicanism who wants the state “shrunk down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub”.

The US’s radical Rightists have not transmogrified into angels of mercy. Their fiscally driven mission is based on the $68 billion cost of maintaining a corrections system where inmate numbers are increasing 13 times faster than the general population. As Mr Gingrich wrote recently: “These facts should trouble every American.” More imprisonment, as he added, does not mean less crime. Those states, such as New York, that have jailed fewer people have also seen offences drop. With the majority of convicts reoffending, it is time, in Mr Gingrich’s opinion, to shut some prisons and rely on “more humane, effective alternatives”.

Barack Obama will this week visit a Europe where the Left is on the run. Its leading figures have sleepwalked to obliteration – or perp-walked, in the case of Dominique Strauss-Kahn – and their resurrection will be made harder by today’s magpie politics, in which the Right steals the traditional causes of the Left.
Last week, Henry Kissinger, a Cold War veteran, flew into Britain to make the case for global nuclear disarmament. As Dr Kissinger told me, he is “confident” of progress on an issue on which the parliamentary Left, which long ago burnt its CND cards, has little to say.

unedited version here

No matter what the lady says here, seems to me that the UK can do with a few more prisons if they aren’t gonna bring back the rack and rope.

law and disorder .. 30+ cops, 1 guy with machete, guy lives. why?

Take a look at this and you’ll understand a bit more why I say this place is doomed. I mean muslims aside.

All these cops and not one gun.  Scroll down to the video at the link. It’s about 5 minutes and not the very best quality, but you’ll get a graphic look at how screwed up they are.
The ass wipe should have been shot dead. But no.  Softly, softly does it. And this being the UK, if they did delete the schmuck, there’s be investigation after investigation and inquiries and pot shots at the police and accusations of bad policing made by people who don’t have to face some large idiot with a two-foot machete.

Thirty riot police tackled machete-wielding man
By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
Last updated at 3:50 PM on 18th May 2011

He was sprayed with CS gas but still kept swinging the 2ft blade

The images shows a pot-bellied man in a distinctive floral shirt viciously swinging the huge blade wildly in the air in Brockley, south London.

As he lurches forward, officers resort to fighting him off with a wheelie bin in an attempt to subdue him.

Homeowners called police after the balding man was spotted standing in the middle of a roundabout holding the lethal weapon.

When officers rushed to the scene, witnessed said the man reappeared ‘out of nowhere’, waving the blade in the air.

The video footage shows the man frenziedly staggering around the normally busy main road grasping the blade in his right hand.

With two squad cars parked in the middle of the road to act as cover, police officers continue to scream at the attacker during the seven-minute video urging him to lay down his weapon.

But ignoring their pleas, he strides around lashing out at anyone who dares step near him.

He can be heard screaming ‘come on then’ before cornering one policeman behind a wheelie bin.

Acting instinctively a brave colleague dashes to hit the machete-wielding man with his baton - before being driven back as the man turns and lashes out.

Officers wielding riot shields and batons can be seen slowly surrounding the man in a horse shoe shape - before rushing him and pushing him to the ground.

Eyewitness Mark Pether, who filmed the astonishing footage from his home overlooking the incident, said: ‘Me and some friends were having a barbecue in the back garden when a friend phoned to say she had just seen a man holding a machete stood on a roundabout nearby

The two foot machete used in the incident is discarded on the road

‘We thought she was joking - but moments later a load of police cars came screaming around the corner looking for him.

‘We then heard this really loud high-pitched yelp and he just came out of nowhere. Eight of them quickly sprayed him in the face with CS spray - but he didn’t go down.

‘Even though he couldn’t see, he was still thrashing around swinging the machete at anyone who came near him. They tried to knock it out of his hand and one even tried to ram a bin in to him.

‘Only one guy had a shield - the rest were unarmed apart from these small batons. It is crazy no one got seriously hurt or even killed. It was a terrifying experience.’

Another neighbour, Margaret Brachaniec, said: ‘If he had hit someone he would have killed them. He was just crazed.’

The incident happened on Monday, a spokesman for Scotland Yard said.

Mr Pether, 21, who attends Goldsmiths University, added: ‘By the end there was at least 35 police officers at the scene - it was mad.

‘They eventually got him to lay down his machete and then all the police just rushed him. They pushed him up against a lamppost and put him in a van.

‘I don’t know what made him take to the streets with a machete but he was clearly angry and upset about something.

‘At first I was in complete shock. I thought the stand off was going to go on for an hour, but it was over in 20 minutes once back up arrived.’

I never thought I’d be defending Sharia and Iran

Well here is a first.

Me .... jdp ... Peiper ... I’m upset that Iran is caving in to foreign influence. Me? Defend Iran and Sharia Law?

YES ...  And here’s why. First, if amnasty is against something I have to be for it, selectively. If liberal weepy eyed bed wetting hand wringers are upset, I have to be in favor of whatever it is they’re hearts are bleeding about.

Take a look at this story .... I’m tempted to write the Iranian Embassy and tell em to stay the course and ignore the critics. But I doubt they’d pay any attention.

Fury at Iran’s ‘eye-for-an-eye’ acid punishment as sentence is branded ‘cruel and inhumane’

By MAIL ON SUNDAY REPORTER

A punishment in which an Iranian man was to be blinded by having acid dropped into his eyes has been postponed after international condemnation.
Majid Movahedi was convicted and sentenced for pouring a bucket of acid over Ameneh Bahrami after she rejected his marriage proposals.
The attack left her blind and severely disfigured.

The court-ordered retribution was due to have been carried out yesterday in Tehran.

But it is understood the authorities in the Iranian capital decided to postpone the punishment, which is allowed under Sharia law if the victim requests it, because of national and international disquiet including concerns raised by the British Government.

Yesterday Ms Bahrami told Al Jazeera, the Qatar-based news service: ‘I was very happy that this was going to end today.
‘And yes, I was going to carry out the punishment myself, but I was afraid that I would get acid on my hands, so a doctor was going to do it. It’s been six years that I’ve been waiting. The verdict is completely legal.’

On November 3, 2004, Movahedi poured a bucket of acid on Ms Bahrami’s head as she was leaving work, after she had rejected his marriage proposal several times.
Two weeks after the attack Movahedi surrendered himself to the police.
He admitted attacking Ms Bahrami and his punishment was ordered by a court in 2008.

Among those unhappy about the prospect of Ms Bahrami exacting such a brutal revenge on her attacker was Amnesty International.
The organisation called for a stay of the sentence, which it described as ‘cruel and inhuman . . . amounting to torture’.
‘The Iranian authorities have a responsibility under international law to ensure it does not go ahead,’ it added.

Ms Bahrami, who was 24 when she met Movahedi in 2002, now lives in Spain where she has been undergoing medical treatment. She is blind in both eyes and still has serious injuries to her face and body.

I JUST CAN NOT BRING MYSELF TO POST THE HORRIFIC PHOTO HERE AT BMEWS. CLICK THIS LINK TO UNDERSTAND

WTF is wrong with people? Why is this the freekin business of the Brit govt., who can’t even protect their own god damn citizens here at home?
And as for amnasty ... well. I believe you all know what I think and what I’d dearly love to see happen.

Quite frankly ... I do not believe that how a govt. handles their internal problems is anyones business outside the country involved. So long as their problem doesn’t inflict harm or is a threat to the security of others, it is not the business of others to stick their nose where it does not belong.
I can’t be pissed off at foreigners and amnasty when they insist we close Guantanamo, and at the same time approve we do the same to others.
The miserable shit in this story deserves the worst and his punishment should go ahead as planned.  I’m disappointed in Iran, and never thought I’d be writing anything on their behalf. Not that they asked.  But I feel sorry for the woman here, and that’s my focus.

shrinks let him go free … innocent woman dies … lets hear it for shrinks

What’s wrong with the criminal system and immigration?

Left wing liberal attitudes towards crime and punishment and immigration.  The system at work in the western world seem to work for the wrong side.
Illegal immigrants committing crimes, sometimes violent ones, and we find that they can’t be deported because their rights may be violated. Never mind the rights on the common citizen going about their lives, who are at risk.
And then there are the nut cases who are put away for a short period only to suddenly be back on the streets, because some shrink has said they’re okay so long as they stay on their meds. Uh huh. And when they don’t?  How many times have you read that one?  Oh he’s a nice boy when he remembers his meds but he forgot this time and oops. Sorry about your dead sister,brother,mother etc. It’s all the result of mollycoddling the worst elements of society.
Look what’s happening just here in the UK. Forgetting anywhere else in the world.

Lying illegal immigrant who committed a string of crimes set to receive thousands in compensation for being ‘falsely imprisoned’

An illegal immigrant turned criminal is set for thousands in a taxpayer funded payout after judges ruled he was falsely imprisoned while awaiting deportation.

Joseph Mjemer, 28, arrived in the UK as a stowaway, committed more than 20 offences, used at least five aliases and claimed to be from four different countries.

But he is now set to be turned loose with a taxpayer-funded compensation payout - despite the judge admitting there is a risk that he could commit more crimes, or simply disappear.

Let off with a caution: The 3am intruder who attacked and terrorised farmer
By CHRIS BROOKE

When farmer Clifford Pearson was attacked by an intruder in his bathroom in the early hours, he acted instinctively and wrestled him to the ground.

Despite being naked, the 48-year-old held on to the man for ten minutes until police, who had been alerted by his girlfriend’s 999 call, arrived at the farmhouse.

But the couple were horrified to be told 12 hours later that the 20-year-old intruder had been given only a caution for common assault and was not being taken to court or punished further.

Their upset turned to anger when they discovered that police were ‘sweeping the incident under the carpet’.

Officers attempted to justify the decision by saying it was the man’s first offence, he had a ‘good job in the Army’, had no recollection of what he did and was intoxicated at the time.

Mr Pearson insisted the intruder did not smell of alcohol and was not drunk, was fully alert and because he entered his house in the middle of the night and assaulted him, the matter should have gone before a magistrates’ court.

He said: ‘He should have got a fine or a punishment of some sort in court.  We said we wanted him prosecuted and they just played the whole thing down.

‘A caution is not a punishment for entering somebody’s house at night, assaulting them in their own house and putting the fear of God in them. This just brings an early conclusion to the case, it tidies everything up very quickly and helps their crime figures. It benefits this man and not us.’

Now here’s one that should leave you scratching your heads. What are they thinking? And we haven’t gotten around to any killings yet. And in case you don’t know, 1p is one penny.

Serial burglar who faced three years in jail is fined just 1p
By ANDY DOLAN

Insulting: Michael Leslie received a laughable 1p fine after the bizarre decision by prosecutors

A convicted burglar who forced his way into an artists’ workshop was fined just 1p after a deal struck by prosecutors.

Michael Leslie, 29, was arrested after his DNA matched blood at the scene, where a laptop and chequebooks were found to be missing.

With two previous burglary convictions, he would have faced a mandatory three-year jail term if found guilty of the offence a third time.

But when prosecutors realised he was going to deny burglary but admit breaking in and falling asleep, they decided to charge him with an obscure and ancient vagrancy offence instead.

It is thought they wanted to secure a conviction but avoid a costly trial. As a result Leslie walked free with only a token fine.

The case emerged as the Sentencing Council – a body packed with judges and lawyers – published new guidelines instructing courts to tighten up punishments for burglars.

Last night one of Leslie’s victims described the decision as ‘a joke’. Artists at The Workshop, a first-floor workspace in Cowley, Oxford, said someone had got in through a ground-floor window.

The laptop and chequebooks were taken from an office on that floor before the intruder went upstairs and rifled through drawers.

But the most horrific crime in the last week has to be this.

British woman beheaded in Tenerife made desperate plea for help before attack

By Fiona Govan, Los Cristianos, Tenerife and David Barrett 8:30AM BST 15 May 2011

Jennifer Mills-Westley, the British woman beheaded in a Tenerife supermarket, tried to avoid her tormentor by taking refuge in an office doorway.

In this case, a Bulgarian immigrant sleeping rough and with a record of violent behavior, who recently also attacked another stranger on the street knocking out two of the victim’s teeth, was known to have a serious mental disorder.  Was he locked away? Well yeah. For a short time until the shrinks let him out.
The idea that people like this worthless whack job is human to begin with is ludicrous. 
Because Spain doesn’t have a death penalty and in any case a lawyer would of course argue diminished mental capacity, this piece of walking garbage will eventually be supported (never deported I’d bet) by the taxpayers there.  Is he worth it? Is life sacred where he’s concerned?
Running away waving the poor victim’s blood dripping head .... all because he wasn’t locked away long ago. And it all comes down to the attitudes and policies and legislation in western countries that have made a religion out of human and civil rights, while ignoring public safety and common sense.
Here’s the rest of this sad story.

The retired 60-year-old from Norwich was stabbed to death and beheaded in the horrific attack on Friday.

She alerted a security guard in the social security office that she had been subjected to “threatening behaviour” from an unwashed vagrant.

Her tormentor, a 28-year-old homeless man called Deyan Valentinov Deyanov, was well known in the popular holiday resort for his unpredictable and sometimes violent behaviour.

Mrs Mills-Westley waited for him to move on, and alerted a security guard in the social security office where she sheltered that she had been subjected to “threatening behaviour”.

It is unclear whether the Briton, a 60-year-old retired road safety officer from Norwich, was aware of the man’s dangerous reputation. After a few minutes Deyanov left and the danger seemed to have passed.

At about 10.15 on Friday morning Mrs Mills-Westley left the office doorway and walked to a Chinese-run discount store next door. Tragically, she there encountered Deyanov again and he attacked her, with grisly consequences.

Mrs Mills-Westley, who divided her time between Tenerife, Norfolk and France, was hacked to death by the Bulgarian, who reportedly claimed to be “a prophet of God” as he carried out the frenzied attack.
Relatives of Mrs Mills-Westley, a grandmother of five, arrived on the island yesterday as details of the gruesome attack emerged.

Deyanov, had left a psychiatric unit where he was reportedly being treated for paranoid schizophrenia in February. He was known among locals for his aggressive begging and outbursts of violence and had been picked up several times by police.
At the Port Royale complex of apartments where Mrs Mills-Westley had been a resident for at least 10 years, neighbours expressed shock and concern at the way the case of the dangerous assailant had been handled by the Spanish authorities.

A long-time friend and neighbour of Mrs Mills-Westley who was too upset to give her name said: “It’s shocking the man that did this had been let out of hospital. It shouldn’t have to be that you wait for something like this to happen before he gets locked away. He was obviously a danger.”

She added: “This is just awful. It’s too upsetting for words. I’ve known Jenny for more than 10 years, since she first moved out here.
“She was a lovely, bubbly person who appeared much younger than she was. She was back and forth to the UK and France to see her children and grandchildren.”

Mrs Mills-Westley owned two adjacent apartments in the development set on a peaceful hillside at the edge of Los Cristianos. She rented out one two-bedroom apartment and lived in the other. Similar properties are on the market for about £240,000.

Phil Gibbs, the owner of Premier management services at the complex, said: “She was a very nice lady. She wasn’t the kind of expat who spent a lot of time in bars. She was quiet and peaceful and always immaculately dressed. We are all horrified to hear what happened to her.”

The victim’s daughter, Sarah Mears, 41, from Newton St Faith, near Norwich, released a statement describing her mother as “generous of heart”.
“Mum was fully enjoying her retirement travelling between Tenerife and France where she spent time visiting her daughter and grandchildren, and her other daughter in Norfolk,” she said.

No Wonder They Never Visit BMEWS

Pinched by tightening economic sanctions and faced with what might become a contentious transition of power, North Korea is ramping up production of one of its key foreign currency generators—heroin.

When satellite photos were released last week by Amnesty International showing the rogue nation’s prison camp system, some analysts were surprised by the expansion of agricultural lands around the camps.

“What was really surprising,” one satellite analyst, who studied the images but asked not to be identified, said, “was how farming acreage on the land around the Yodok camp had expanded. These are poppy fields and have been since we first looked at the camp in 2001.”

That assessment was underscored by Chuck Downs, executive director of the Committee for Human Rights in North Korea, who said that the regime’s military, which runs the camps and the nation’s illicit heroin production, “do not allow food production by prisoners because they would steal it. They would rather grow drugs.”

Most analysts agree that the expansion of the drug-producing fields is a sign of a regime in deep economic trouble.

Because of the secrecy of the regime there are no firm figures on drug profits, but estimates put the earnings on exports of heroin from $500 million to $1 billion annually.

“To put that in context,” Bruce Klingner, a senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation, pointed out that “the total for legitimate exports is estimated at around $1 billion annually.”

North Korea first turned to large scale heroin production in the mid 1990s when the nation’s manufacturing sector collapsed. Kim Jong Il, the nation’s dictator, decided that the heroin was the quicker way to make up for the export losses and ordered all collective farms to dedicate 12 acres to poppy production.
...
Over the past dozen years more than 50 Korean diplomats or other state workers have been caught carrying drugs into more than 20 countries, according to a Congressional Research Service report.
...
According to Klingner, one of the reasons that happens is that foreign embassies for the regime get no state funding for their legations.

“Diplomats are expected to fund themselves,” he said. “And this is one way they do it.”

It must be worth it

one here on April 15th.

one here back in February.

one here back in January.

I’m sure there were a bunch in 2010 too.

11 in 2009.

one of many from 2008.

Even silly old Wiki estimates that 80 of these tin cans were being launched in 2008. Which would mean, what, 100 in 2011? 200? And our guys catch a dozen?  Sounds like we need a better way to find them and catch them. Don’t bother with interdiction, just sink them.

These things will transport terrorists just as easily as drugs. And they’ve been used for a long, long time now.

And the subs just keep getting bigger and better. And unpowered torpedo hulls seem to work just as well.

Maybe Obama should have invaded Columbia instead of Libya. Or sent in the Navy to haunt the coasts, find and sink them. Because it sure would be good practice, seeing what the chicoms can put to sea these days.

you wanna talk stuck on stupid?  try this. criminals are customers.

Load of wimps, those Aussies - can’t even cope with a pretty ordinary villain. We’ll know exactly what to do with him: give him loads of benefits, a home, free health care and all the things a man could need. And if he’s naughty again and gets caught up in our friendly justice system, he’ll get a nice self-contained room with ensuite loo and colour TV, facilities for snooker, pool, table tennis, a gym and a library - in Brixton, Wormwood Scrubs or Pentonville.
- Peter Williamson, Walsingham, UK,

So what’s that all about? 

Well …. Seems there’s a bad guy who’s too bad for the Aussies to keep, and so for the safety of the Australian public, the Aussies have deported him.  Where to?

Where else?  England of course.  Home of benefits for miscreants and civil rights of all kinds.  Brits are NOT happy but, who’s listening to the unwashed public anyway?  Certainly not the powers that be.  They’re very busy these days protecting civilians in other countries. 

I almost forgot. Nuther bit of lunacy talking about miscreants and criminality.  Now how’s this for what Drew calls,

“Stuck on Stupid.”

The head of the probation service here, a woman named Heather Munro, has drawn some flak over her new age idea with regard to offenders.
Not even the wild imagination of some of our BMEWS commenters and lets include Drew and Christopher and for certain myself, would dream this one up.

She suggests that criminals should be referred to as “CUSTOMERS” and we MUST be more considerate to offenders.

Now how’s that for stuck on stupid?  You can read the whole stupid story by clicking on that stupid face below.

OK, now that’s outta the way I can continue with my original post. Guy from Australia, right?

Here. Take a look at this.

Shipped back to Britain: Australians say career thug is a risk to the public - so they’ve sent him home to the UK… as a free man

By JACK DOYLE and JAMES SLACK

A career criminal who tried to murder a police officer in Australia was yesterday returned to Britain as a free man.
The taxpayer now faces spending tens of thousands providing housing and benefits to Clifford Tucker even though he has spent most of his life in Australia.

Officials there ruled that Tucker, who has committed a string of crimes over almost 30 years, posed an ‘unacceptable risk to the public’.
Tucker, 47, moved from Britain to Australia with his parents aged six, and has lived in Adelaide for 41 years.

But because he never obtained an Australian passport his visa was revoked over his criminal conduct after he returned home from a holiday to Bali. He committed his first crime aged only 11 and has served more than a decade in jail.

MPs said that, had Britain tried to deport an Australian guilty of similar offences, the Government would have been defeated by human rights law.
It sparked renewed criticism of Labour’s Human Rights Act and the scandal of foreign criminals living here. Britain’s courts have consistently allowed human rights appeals by foreign criminals because they have developed a ‘family life’.

Last year more than 200 foreign prisoners cheated deportation by using their ‘right to a family life’ in Britain.
Backbench Tory MP Dominic Raab said: ‘Most British citizens would understand the Australian government putting their public protection first. We need to change Labour’s Human Rights Act, to enable the UK to do the same.

‘Australia is bound by international human rights treaties, but it uses a bit of common sense when it comes to implementing them into domestic law.’
Tucker, an alcoholic, has no family in the UK and is entitled to full benefits, including housing support, paid for by taxpayers. It is thought he was interviewed by police on his arrival at Heathrow to assess whether he needed monitoring here.

Last night it was not clear where he was staying.
He was even forced to pay for the costs of his ticket back to Britain and the flight costs of two Australian immigration officials who escorted him.
Before he was deported, Tucker said he had ‘no idea’ what he was going to do in Britain. ‘I’ve got no money to support myself,’ he said.
He has three children aged 16, 15 and 12 in Adelaide. His mother, Terry Haighton, has set up a Facebook site to support his cause.

Tucker’s lawyer said sending him home was a ‘fundamental breach of human rights’.
Stephen Kenny said: ‘If he’s a ratbag, he’s one of our ratbags. He’s done the crimes and he’s paid for the crimes. This is quite an inhumane punishment, far beyond the treatment he deserves.’

But Australia’s immigration department said his bad character and criminal history meant he presented an ‘unacceptable risk of harm’ to the public. It said it took very seriously its role in protecting Australians.

THE REST OF EVERYTHING IS HERE

So why can’t we do the same thing?

COMMENTARY By JAMES SLACK

On the other side of the world, a migrant convicted of the attempted murder of a police officer is deported, on the grounds he poses an ‘unacceptable risk’ to the native population.
Few would describe the Australian government’s decision as anything other than common sense.

After all Clifford Tucker, a British citizen, had abused Australia’s hospitality. By throwing him out, justice was undeniably done.
Consider, however, what would have happened if Tucker – a career criminal jailed for 12 years for shooting and seriously wounding a police officer – had been a foreigner committing crimes in Britain.

There is precisely zero chance that our courts – or the interfering judges in Strasbourg – would have agreed to his removal in the interests of protecting the British public.
Instead, they would have found that, because he moved here from his home country when he was young, Tucker had a ‘human right’ to a family life in his adopted nation. Since he had three children his hand would have been strengthened even further.

Depressingly, these are the rules we live by thanks to the European Convention on Human Rights and Labour’s Human Rights Act.
No matter whether a person is living here illegally, or what heinous crimes they commit, if they can evade the authorities for long enough, our courts will let them stay for ever. Housing, benefits and every other right enjoyed by law-abiding British citizens will inevitably follow.
In other words, compared to Australia, America and dozens of other countries, British justice is a soft touch.

Witness how, in a case with chilling similarities to that of Tucker, Learco Chindamo was permitted to remain in Britain despite killing London headmaster Philip Lawrence.
Instead of Chindamo being sent home to Italy once his sentence was served, an immigration tribunal ruled – to widespread horror – that because he had been here since he was a small child, he had a human right to remain here. The fact he posed a danger to the public was seemingly irrelevant.

Or consider the case of Aso Mohammed Ibrahim who knocked down a 12-year-old girl in his car in Darwen, Lancashire, and left her to die.
Ibrahim, an Iraqi who had been refused asylum here, was driving while disqualified, and after Amy Houston’s death he committed a string of further offences.
However, an immigration tribunal ruled that because Ibrahim had children in Britain he had a right to a ‘family life’ in the UK.
Not a thought was given to the human rights of the family whose lives he had destroyed.

In a further shocking case, Rocky Gurung, a Nepalese who killed the son of a Gurkha war hero by throwing him into the Thames on a drunken night out, was permitted to stay here so his right to a ‘family life’ could be protected.
After prison, Gurung persuaded judges that it would breach his ‘right to family life’ if he was sent back to Nepal.

This was despite the fact he was single and had no children.

Last year, a total of 200 foreign prisoners avoided deportation by claiming their human right to a ‘family life’ in Britain. The Home Office has confirmed that the ‘right to a family life’ is now the most popular claim used by criminals who successfully avoid deportation from the UK – overtaking the right to ‘protection from torture’ which they might face when returning home.

an expert on the usa speaks on crime,poverty and awful system of justice

There are the usual things in the news today that make a person reach for hair to pull out assuming there’s any on top.

I truly believe that what we refer to as “Western Civilization” is west as matter of geography, but I seriously question the civil part of civilization.
In other words dear friends, we’ve been led down some dark path and our world is almost totally screwed.  There isn’t any justice in the justice system, either here or in the USA.  A criminal system? Oh sure. Check. We got that ok.

I saw a story yesterday and as soon as I read it, somehow I just knew, it wasn’t a guess, that the 16 year old killer was a member of that favored minority group possessing very thick lips and a wide flat nose and often a thick neck as well, topped by brillo and referred to as hair. Notice please how civil I am and haven’t yet used the ‘N’ word.  Although it would be most appropriate in this case.

A couple of Brit tourists were gunned down in Florida. No doubt you in America have already read about it or seen it on TV. I’m pretty sure you have.
Ah but what you won’t have read is what I have here.  While I am outraged by the killing, who wouldn’t be?  I’m further outraged by the column in today’s Mail that has been written by a former Brit diplomat who was stationed in Florida.  I may be off the rails here and I admit that I have not, as Drew no doubt would,
researched the figures for accuracy.  My problem I think is that the former diplomat is seeing and writing from a decidedly left wing, bleeding heart and blind to some facts stance.  I suppose many could accuse me with some justification as seeing things from an opposite position. That is, the right and sometimes very far right on some issues.  So I have very much edited his column and reduced most to what is posted here, and urge you to visit the link and see the article and his comments in full.

He writes about the abject poverty and desperate squalor.  Here’s a photo of the area where they were shot dead.  It’s thought the killings could have been associated with a gang initiation.  The link does does show another photo of another area, don’t know where in Florida and have no doubts such areas do exist.
But when he says American society has given them ( the favored minority) “nothing,” well I just don’t buy that. 

Lets not kid ourselves, there are plenty of white criminals who shouldn’t be breathing let alone breathing fresh and free air. Too damn many. And that’s the result of the power of the left, because right wingers have lost the thread and have forgotten how to launch a successful Vigilante movement.  It happened so long ago that it’s no longer an option.  And most serial killings are done by whites. I’m not blind to that fact.  But I don’t believe our jails are crowded with minority prisoners simply because they belong to an unpopular group, put there by the Gestapo.  They put themselves there by their own actions.  And there seems to be an awful lot of em committing actions that earn them jail time. 

Deadly side of the Sunshine State
By HUGH HUNTER

A gun-toting, drug-fuelled menace awaits where people live in abject deprivation on a scale unimaginable in Britain, with our generous welfare state and infrastructure of public services.

Whoa ... hang on a minute. Sorry to interrupt myself doing this posting but it can’t be helped. Here’s a headline from the same paper he is writing for today.

Killers, child sex offenders and a rapist on the run… and officials REFUSE to name them because of their ‘human rights’
By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
Last updated at 12:48 PM on 19th April 2011

Killers, child sex offenders and a rapist are among nearly 50 dangerous criminals who are on the run but whose identities are protected by government officials because of human Rights laws.

Yeah ... a really great system here innit?  But back now to Mr. Hunter, who having served as a diplomat in the USA is now an expert on the subject.
And don’t you just LOVE this line.  “ a society which has given them nothing”

Young men who feel they have nothing to lose, in a society which has given them nothing.

The richest country in the world also contains some of the most shameful poverty in the West. The land of liberty also has the most draconian criminal justice regime of any developed country, reflected not only in the retention of the death penalty but also in the massive prison population.
you can find the most incredible poverty, either in squalid concrete jungles of housing estates or impoverished shanty towns.

Even in the most notorious areas of Latin America, such as inner-city Bogota in Colombia, you would struggle to find anything as bad. Similarly, you could be driving through the countryside and then come across a group of primitive huts, made of corrugated sheets or derelict caravans, resembling something that you might find in an African village. There would not even be running water, the inhabitants relying on a standpipe.

It is no surprise to find that Florida is therefore scarred by high rates of crime. In my experience, the state has fewer petty offences than urban Britain – binge drinking is much more rare, for instance. But the incidence of serious crime is much higher. It is telling that Britain has by far the largest prison population in Europe in proportion to its size, at a total of 85,000 inmates.

Yet 100,000 prisoners are held in the jails of Florida, even though the state’s 15million population is only a quarter of Britain’s. Murder, drugs, rape, and firearm offences are all much more common in Florida. Tourists are an obvious target for gangsters and opportunistic criminals. One of the most sinister crime waves I had to deal with as a diplomat involved British hotel guests attacked in their rooms by gunmen.

SOURCE FOR ALL PLUS ARTICLE AND PHOTOS

He had a lot to say and there’s more to read about the unfortunate victims.  And to be clear, they’d still be unfortunate were they law abiding blacks, Asians or anyone else caught up in the usual, ‘black pastime.’

law and disorder but sure as hell and taxes, no justice here.

There isn’t anything wrong with the justice system here. It works very well and people need to get a life and stop bitching about it.
After all, killers and rapists and paedophiles and other useless pond scum, well, they need love and help too.  And especially taxpayer funded legal aid.

I think I’m gonna be sick.  Once the anger abates.

Take a look at this.

Killer who shot dead police officer granted £12,000 legal aid to fight for a cushier life in prison
By PAUL SIMS

· Ex-marine is held in underground secure unit
· Lawsuit could cost taxpayer £500,000, experts warn

A killer who gunned down a policeman in cold blood has been granted legal aid to sue the prison service for breaching his human rights.

Former U.S. marine David Bieber, 45, shot dead PC Ian Broadhurst on Boxing Day 2003 and, after two attempted prison breaks, is seen as one of the most high-risk inmates in Britain.

But he claims his status as a category-A exceptional-risk prisoner, which restricts his movements within County Durham’s high-security Frankland Prison, breaches his human rights.

Last night PC Broadhurst’s family attacked the decision to grant Bieber up to £12,000 in legal aid to mount his challenge at the High Court in London later this year.

His mother Cindy Eaton said: ‘I am very disappointed. I feel cheated and let down on behalf of my family. He chose to do what he did. This is the consequence and I don’t think he has any rights and it is letting us down if he is allowed these rights.

‘He has no idea about our pain. We live that. We can never go back to the life we had.’

Married PC Broadhurst, 34, had stopped Bieber in Leeds for a check on a suspected stolen vehicle. He was shot in the chest and, as he lay helpless on the floor, Bieber shot him again in the head at point-blank range.

Bieber, a steroid-addicted bodybuilder and drug dealer who was wanted in the U.S. for conspiracy to murder and had fled to the UK under an alias, also tried to kill two other officers at the scene.

In the most extraordinary passage, he complains about the ‘horrible effect’ the ‘foolish and disproportionate violence’ of his shooting had on him as well as the victim.

Bieber launched his legal challenge in October and has now been granted a judicial review to have his case heard at the High Court. Experts say it could end up costing the taxpayer £500,000 in legal fees.

This is the first time a category-A exceptional-risk inmate has challenged their status. If successful, it could open the floodgates for claims from other such inmates, including terrorists.

Former Detective Chief Supt Chris Gregg, who led the hunt for Bieber, said: ‘He is the most manipulative and dangerous criminal I have ever experienced. Given half a chance he would take any opportunity to escape and I dare say this is what his legal challenge is about.

‘He would kill or harm for his own purposes and the Prison Service will recognise that danger. He must never be downgraded.’

Neil Atkinson, from the National Victims’ Association, said: ‘This is the kind of mind-numbing madness that makes decent, law-abiding citizens despair of our criminal justice system.’

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
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

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
