Hate Crime Laws

Sorting Americans into distinctive racial, ethnic and gender groups, while designating whites and heterosexuals to be their “oppressors” makes the latter into legitimate targets of hate themselves. It thus becomes a way of exacerbating, rather than correcting, the social disorder.

It is time to go back to the wisdom of the Founders who wrote a Constitution without reference to ethnic or gender groups. They did so in order to render us equal before the nation’s system of law. It was an imperfectly realized ideal then, but that should be no excuse for abandoning the ideal now. We need to end the vicious libels of political correctness that have percolated their message of anti-white racism into our mainstream culture. The vast majority of white people do not hate or oppress black people, just as the vast majority of heterosexuals do not hate or oppress gays. We need to single out those individuals who do, whatever their race or gender — for condemnation and social ostracism. And we need to do the same to individuals who belong to minorities and are haters themselves. Most of all, we need to go back to the task of treating all Americans as individuals first, and as members of groups only secondarily, if at all.

A little more here.



No kidding. “Hate crime” is more than just totally unconstitutional. It’s morally wrong. The same laws apply to all of us, always. No special rules for special people, ever, of any kind.

Injuries included a broken back and eight broken ribs. And that’s just to start. This is beyond sick

I was aware and very disturbed by this story months ago when it was first made public. I wasn’t alone. Disturbed? More then that. Anger, frustration and all sorts of gloomy feelings reading about this poor kid.  How in the freeken world can a mother be party to this? How can any adult do these things to a helpless child?
And why oh why can’t those who commit some particularly horrific crimes be hung immediately.  No wait. Why can’t the same treatment be given them.

I didn’t post this at the time it first came out. It’s just too damn sickening.  But today there’s even more information and graphics and I thought originally I couldn’t hate these sub humans any more. They are disgusting scum of the worst order.

How can people torture a helpless baby of 17 months and live with themselves?
And how does a state now decide that due to the nature of the crime and publicity, the perps will get round the clock protection at the taxpayers expense. FOR LIFE.  Oh yeah. I forgot to mention it.  The mother will be out in a few years.  I am really trying very hard to keep my language clean.  While writing this I think I’ve even made up some new swear words even I never heard.

How does this grab you BMEWS?

At the autopsy they found some of his teeth in his stomach.
One of his abusers already had a record for the rape of a two year old girl.  In fact, he and his brother attacked their grandmother, beat her and locked her in a closet demanding that she rewrite her will leaving whatever she had to them.  She died some months later.  And still… the $£!!"£%$&&* bastards were out walking free. There’s no such fuckin thing as a god damned justice system! Forget about it. It’s a gd myth.

The killers of Baby Peter will be given new identities at taxpayers’ expense and lifetime protection from the threat of exposure after being named publicly for the first time as Tracey Connelly and Steven Barker.

By Caroline Gammell and Martin Beckford

The 17-month-old boy suffered an agonising death in their squalid home after months of abuse. The pair subjected him to an appalling ordeal that left him with 50 injuries, including a broken back.

Connelly, 28, who admitted causing or allowing Baby Peter’s death, could be released from jail in as little as three years.

She has already been placed in solitary accommodation in prison to protect her from fellow prisoners, such is the level of the notoriety she has gained since full details of her son’s treatment were disclosed.

It is almost certain that under human rights laws she will be granted lifelong anonymity once she is freed.

By claiming that she had the right to a life free from vigilante attacks or intrusion by the media, she would be given a new name, moved to a home equipped with panic buttons and provided with round-the-clock police protection for the rest of her life at an estimated cost to the taxpayer of £1 million a year.

The same protection may also be given to Barker, 33, who could be free in 12 years.

It can be disclosed today that he is the brother of Jason Owen, 37 — Connelly’s lodger, who was also convicted over Peter’s death. He was the only one of the three accused to be publicly named at the end of their trial last November.

Protection orders are often granted to those who become notorious for crimes they commit against children. These include Mary Bell, who killed two boys when she was 11; Maxine Carr, who provided a false alibi for Ian Huntley after he murdered the Soham schoolgirls; and the schoolboy killers of James Bulger.

Philip Davies, the Conservative MP for Shipley, was angered by the public cost of protecting Connelly in the future. “She had absolutely no concern for the human rights of Baby P, so it’s a bit much to expect anyone to fall over themselves protecting her rights,” he said.

“It will probably stick in the throat of most taxpayers to stump up cash for her. What she did was hideous and she should face the consequences of that.

“It’s a prime example of how human rights of criminals are put before those of victims — in this case a defenceless baby.”

Claude Knights, the director of Kidscape, a children’s charity, said the killers had “destroyed faith in humanity”.

“I don’t feel society should spend the hundreds and thousands it would cost [to give them new identities],” he said. “I would prefer it to be spent on child protection.”

TELEGRAPH

We aren’t done yet ... I want you to PLEASE see this version at the Daily Mail and see all the photos. Look at this filth that was allowed to be free and the system that has failed and failed miserably.  How the damn hell could the doctors have missed his injuries for so long?  How could the social services ppl have missed the filth and squalor this kid was in. And btw ... HE WAS NOT ALONE in that home!

This version in The Daily Mail is a very long one and so I’m only posting this excerpt. See the link below for all of it.
I can’t imagine any one of you who won’t come away angry.

Evil mother who stood by as son was tortured… and the neo-Nazi boyfriend who abused him

By Vanessa Allen, Colin Fernandez and Lucy Ballinger
Last updated at 2:06 PM on 11th August 2009

Such was Connelly’s lack of thought for her own child that in the final week of Peter’s life, when eight of his ribs were broken and his spine snapped, leaving him semi-paralysed, she claimed she had not noticed his injuries.

And when paramedics were called to the house on August 3, 2007, to find Peter blue and cold in his blood-spattered cot, they were horrified when his mother kept the ambulance waiting while she searched for her cigarettes.

She was pregnant with Barker’s child - a girl born while she was on remand in Holloway Prison.

Social workers initially asked to leave the baby with her to ‘bond’ but were overruled.

Connelly applied to meet her surviving children during her trial, but has been told she will never see them again.She whined to the trial judge that she cried every day and punished herself for allowing Peter’s abuse, but her jail letters rarely mention her children.

Instead she moaned of missing sex, writing: ‘I’ve been obsessed lately about it. I need sex like a heroin addict needs a fix.’

HERE FOR ALL THE PHOTOS AND THE REST OF THE STORY

Gangs with guns, gangs with knives. Now the new thing is .. SNAKES! And do not laugh. Isn’t a joke.

This place gets more bizarre and more unruly by the minute. Never mind by the day.

No point in my ranting about this. Blow off steam yeah but who listens and even if someone did, so what?

Last week a couple went to see a movie. Normal night out right?
During the movie there were some intentionally loud and abrasive punks making noise.  So this lady tells them to be quiet please, they aren’t the only ones in the theater.

After the show, the couple went to a cafe, or maybe a McDees. I don’t remember and it doesn’t matter. What does matter is that the punks followed and went into the place and poured bleach on her full strength.  She was actually burned and it went in her eyes and she may lose her sight.

Scares me to stay here guys. No kidding it does. Ya never know where it’s gonna come from or when. And btw, you do not have to do anything to invite it either.
Just happens.

Boy bitten by snake in Bristol gang attack

From Times Online
August 9, 2009

Ambulance staff used Google to identify a snake which bit a Bristol teenager on the hand during an attack by a gang armed with the reptiles, it emerged today.

The 14-year-old was bitten on the hand after he was set upon by the group who were “brandishing snakes”, the ambulance service said. The boy was pinned against a wall by his attackers in Bradley Stoke yesterday afternoon, before one made the python sink its fangs into him.

A spokesman for Great Western Ambulance service (GWAS) said today: “Ambulance staff consulted Google and Bristol Zoo experts after a teenager was attacked by a group of youths brandishing snakes.

“The 14-year-old was bitten on the hand by one snake after being pinned against a wall by his attackers in Merryweather Close, Bradley Stoke yesterday afternoon.

“The group was apparently carrying several snakes and forced one of them to bite the boy on the hand, leaving two puncture wounds.”

Michael Howells, an incident support officer, who was at the scene said: “In order to try and identify the type of snake I Googled ’snakes’ on my mobile to show the patient. He was reasonably sure he could identify the type, so I sent the image to our control room.”

Oliver Tovey, a duty control manager, added: “We contacted Bristol Zoo to talk to their snake expert. What we described they indicated was probably a type of python - so not venomous.”

The teenager was taken to Frenchay Hospital, Bristol for precautionary checks after being attended to by paramedics at 3.15pm. Mr Howells added: “Although the patient was suffering breathing difficulties after the attack, this was probably due to panic rather than a reaction to the bite - I would probably be panicky if that happened to me.”

Avon and Somerset police said the creature involved was a four-foot long green snake used on the boy after he was pinned down. A force spokesman said today: “The teenager had been subject to racist comments and then reportedly held down as a snake was held in front of him, which bit his right arm.

“The boy was taken to Frenchay Hospital with breathing problems, where he was treated for the injury to his arm. Experts have confirmed that the snake, described as green-coloured and about four feet long, was not venomous.”

Protect Your PC

Lots of people use short, simple passwords that are meaningful to them and easy to remember. Birthdays, Social Security Numbers, favorite colors, the name of your secret fantasy movie star. And these are all very unsecure and easy to crack, especially by anyone who knows a bit about you.

Sarah Palin had her email hacked during the ‘08 campaign. She had an account on Yahoo, and somebody was able to reset her password by properly guessing the clues that Yahoo asked for in their “I forgot my password” area. Most places have that kind of area, and most of them use pretty common questions, which defeats the whole concept of passwords. Some banks and credit card companies have come up with a few new questions since then. It’s a small help, but only a small one.

Lots of people use just a couple of passwords for almost everything. I know I do. Trying to remember the 70 or so passwords I need to log onto various forums, blogs, my accounts at any number of business pages, etc., is impossible. Sure, I could write them all down. Or I could let Windows “remember” them for me. Not a chance, no thanks. And even if I did write them down, I’d hide the list somewhere smarter than the underside of my keyboard or taped to the back of the monitor. Duh.

I do not let my computer store anything about anything, not even browser history, cookies, Most Recently Used lists, nada. I am forever stripping information out of my PC by using CCleaner, MRUBlaster, and RegCure daily. I have an old co-ax A/B switch on the back of my computer, so that when I am not online I can physically disconnect my computer from the internet. I only do online business with places that don’t store my credit card information. Any bills that I throw out go through the bi-directional shredder. And I check my credit rating and my Social Security a couple times a year, just to keep an eye on things. So far, I have never had any kind of problems, but hacking and identity theft happen. You have to be aware, and you have to act smart.

I have one “don’t care” password I use for all the blogs and web sites I need to log on to. It’s of reasonable length, and has nothing to do with any aspect of my life. I use serious, unique passwords for all my credit card and banking sites, and my private email. And I change those at least twice a year. I don’t pay for any credit card “protection”, but I do have credit cards with companies that will alert me if something unusual occurs.

It turns out that most people don’t do anything as “extreme”. Most folks still use passwords that are short, simple, and easily guessed by people who know them even a little. Bad form.

By the way, I can not read your passwords here. Even though I own this blog and have access to everything right down to the database tables and the blog template source code, I can not read your member password. I can reset it if necessary, but I can’t see it.

So, what to do? Try making a smarter password. Add numbers, spaces, and special characters if you can. Then run the new password past the Microsoft password strength checker (there are others too) to see if it scores at least a “medium”. And figure out a “best” password for each online credit card and bank account that you access.

Passwords not to use? Here is a list of the 500 lamest ones. “abc123”. “password”. “letmein”. Oh come on, you have to do better than that these days!

You want a good password? Are you a car junkie, or a gun nut? “454 Ch3vy R0cks!” meets all the criteria for a “best” rating. It even has a tiny bit of “leet” in it, which can help. (substituting 4 for A, 3 for E, 1 for I, 0 for O adds a lot to password strength. Many places do not let you use spaces or special characters) Another strong one is “Marlin 336 .30-30”. And they are especially good if you don’t have one of either. “I Love Lucy” only rates a “medium”, and it isn’t on that list of 500, but if people know that’s your favorite TV show, then it’s a poor choice.

So be smart. Just in case.

SOMETHING JUST A BIT DIFFERENT FOR BMEWS. THE SAME SUBJECT BUT SOMETHING NEW.

Bit of legal history from a book called “Gangland Lawyers” by James Morton

Anyone who reads BMEWS on a regular basis, not just the brave few who leave comments, but everyone, already know my views on what we laughingly call the Criminal Justice System.  More Criminal then justice.  Just ask any victim.

In line with that attitude, an article in our morning paper today claims that victims of crime are not well served by the justice system.  The actual headline reads, JUSTICE SYSTEM FAILS VICTIMS.
Well then, if it indeed does that, and we know it does, then it is not a “justice system” at all.  I’m not sure exactly what to call it, but justice has little to do with it.

Many of us both here and in the USA have ranted and raved about slick lawyers and how often bad guys are out on the streets doing the same thing they were jailed for originally.  And we’re all agreed ( I think we are ) that lawyers are well versed in making the worst appear the better cause, and get away with much.  Or their clients are.
Which brings me to my posting here.

We are used to how things are and have been for a number of years.  The Twinkie Defense comes to mind and of course there was OJ but those are the cases that make national news and we all complain how awful things are and how deceitful and manipulative lawyers are these days.  These days? Just these days?
Of course it started long ago when a miserable SOB murdered the guy who designed the Madison Sq. Garden. Stanford White. An architect famous in his day.  The killer’s lawyer used the insanity defense for the first time and got his client off with a few years in a mental ward somewhere.  Well, I learned an expression many years ago in the music industry and probably used by other professions as well.
“There’s nothin’ new.”

There was a lawyer back in the 1920’s named Chippy Patterson who died in 1933.
The guy was always broke and lived between feast and famine.  Apparently he was a whiz in court and had quite a track record getting freedom or very reduced terms of incarceration for his clients.  He was truly a gangster’s lawyer and here’s just one very unbelievable and truly bizarre case and jury verdict. 

In 1930 Patterson won six acquittals and five manslaughter and second degree murder verdicts for his 11 clients. His last great defense came in June that year when he represented a guy named Pete Valenti.  Valenti was a a burglar and drug dealer who was on parole after serving just two years of of a ten to twenty year sentence for armed robbery.

Valenti was accused of a grocery story robbery-murder on April 9th.  The prosecution reasonably thought it had a good case and a simple one. 
Valenti and his partner, Vincent Minotti, neither of who were masked, held up the store and without warning, Valenti shot the owner.  Both Valenti and Minotti accused the other of firing the shot, but the prosecution regarded Minotti’s version as the more reliable and he gave evidence for the state.

Unexpectedly, Patterson made NO objection when the prosecution introduced Valenti’s criminal record in evidence.  Instead, he waited until his closing speech to the jury when he laid the blame for the killing at the feet of the judge who had paroled Valenti.  Here from the transcript are Chippy Patterson’s words.

“Valenti is no good.  His record proves it.
If society releases this type of man it deserves just what it gets.  Damn the law for this, but don’t damn the prisoner.”

The jury agreed, working on the curious thinking that if Valenti had not been paroled he would not have been able to commit murder.  Instead of the electric chair he was sentenced to separate and solitary confinement for the remainder of his natural life.

Not one BMEWS reader will believe the following but it’s true. This story isn’t over.

The author of the book who, no surprise, was a gangland lawyer writes an update in the footnotes with regard to Valenti by stating as follows:

“It is pleasant to be able to relate”

that … Valenti was released in the late 1940s.
He married and had three children. He was thought of as a reliable and trustworthy employee, who eventually became foreman of a small printing works.

William Jefferson Guilty

Breaking - House Ways And Means Committee William Jefferson (D- LA), found years ago with $90,000 of marked bribe money in his ice box, has been found guilty on 11 of 16 counts. Details to follow.



Details:

Former U.S. Rep. William Jefferson of Louisiana was convicted Wednesday on 11 of the 16 corruption charges against him.

A federal grand jury indicted the 62-year-old Democrat on June 4, 2007, on corruption charges, about two years after federal agents said they found $90,000 in his freezer. Authorities said the cash was part of a payment in marked bills from an FBI informant in a transaction captured on video.

Jefferson pleaded not guilty to the 16 counts, which include bribery, racketeering, fraud, obstruction of justice and conspiracy.

Jefferson was accused of using his congressional clout between 2001 and 2005 to solicit and receive hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes for himself and his family in exchange for promoting products and services in Africa, especially Nigeria, and elsewhere. Peter Carr, a spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office, said Jefferson could have faced a sentence of up to 235 years in prison if convicted on all counts.

The information on the cash, discovered in Jefferson’s Washington home in August 2005, was revealed in an affidavit used to obtain a warrant to search Jefferson’s office in May 2006.

Descriptions from the heavily edited affidavit and pictures of the alleged open freezer show bills wrapped in foil and tucked into frozen food containers, including a box for pie crusts and another for veggie burgers.

FBI agents told a judge the money was part of a $100,000 payment delivered by an informant in the bribery investigation, which led to guilty pleas by a Kentucky businessman and a former Jefferson aide.

Jefferson, who graduated from Harvard Law School, represented Louisiana’s 2nd Congressional District, which includes most of the New Orleans area. He held office for 18 years, or nine terms, before he lost his House seat in the December 2008 election.

As a representative, he served on the House Ways and Means Committee’s subcommittee on trade and on the Budget Committee, and he co-chaired the caucus on Africa Trade and Investment as well as the caucus on Nigeria.

Earlier, the federal judge in the trial told members of the jury that it might have been “misled” by his original instructions.

“I may have misspoken” as many as four times, said U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis, telling the jury “I want you to look at each of these corrections and decide if you were misled.”

Ellis last week took more than two hours to instruct the jury, reading from prepared text. When a transcript was completed and made available Wednesday morning, Ellis said he had found at least four discrepancies.

Among the problems, Ellis suggested he mistakenly referred to the “defendant” instead of the “government” proving its case beyond a reasonable doubt, and another in which he referred to the “government’s intent” in the alleged wrongdoing instead of the defendant’s.

Ellis told prosecutors and Jefferson’s defense team that he believed the jury would have correctly interpreted the reference, but that they should note the correction.

The jury reconvened with a corrected transcript of his instructions for its fifth day of deliberations

Another corrupt government leader. Put him away forever. But my guess is that with the judge’s screw-ups, there will be an endless series of appeals.

Stupid Kids Pay The Price

KNOXVILLE TENNESSEE — Knoxville police have identified a teenager killed this morning during an attempted home invasion in South Knoxville that ended in an exchange of gunfire.

Arsenio Wooten, 17, was found dead from a gunshot wound, Knoxville Police Department spokesman Darrell DeBusk said. A second suspect may have been wounded in the gunfire, DeBusk said.

Wooten’s body was lying in a gully along the driveway of the residence at 814 Carls Lane off Cherokee Trail, where the shooting took place.

Wooten spent the last semester at South-Doyle High School after transferring from Fulton High School, according to South-Doyle Principal Rick Walker. Walker said Wooten was planning to return to Fulton for the fall semester.

The incident began when the homeowner said he heard someone knocking on his door about 5:25 a.m., according to DeBusk. The homeowner said he put a handgun in his pocket as he went to the door.
When he was opening the door, two men attempted to push their way in and he pulled the gun from his pocket and fired twice at them, DeBusk said he told officers.  One of the suspects fired once at the homeowner, the man said. Both suspects fled in a vehicle, the man told police.

Naleway told police that two black men knocked on his door and then attempted to force their way into the home once the door was opened. Naleway then shot at the intruders. They fired back and then fled the scene. Police were called back to the scene just before 7:00 by the resident. He told police that the body of one of the intruders was laying in his driveway. Wooten was pronounced dead on the scene. Police are also searching for the second male suspect involved in the attempted home invasion, they say he could have been shot as well.

Investigators searched the Carls Lane home around 1 p.m. Wednesday and cleared the scene around 2 p.m. It’s not clear whether Naleway will face charges in the case. Police say it’s up to the Knox County District Attorney. A check of Naleway’s criminal history shows that he has no convictions or charges in Knox County.

Police have recovered the gun the assailants used, and confirm that it was fired at the tenant. The boy’s name struck me as a bit unusual, so I Googled him up and found such a person on Facebook, who mostly matches the description given by the police in the video here. But it could be someone else who just happens to be about the same age, size, and complexion.


This is the place where the break in occurred:

It’s a little shack up in the hills, a run down cabin in the woods. Maybe my “advanced years” give me more insight than a 17 year old city kid, but one look at that place and you know whoever lives there has a gun. They might be living on canned beans, but they have a gun. Guaranteed.


I’ve been known to celebrate Goblin Eliminations, but this one is kind of saddening. Just some damn stupid kid. But a kid who was acting as an animal, and went to that guy’s house before dawn with malice aforethought. And paid the price.

The stories all say that the renter told the police that 2 people got in the car and drove away, and that 2 people tried to bust down his door. Yet 1 was found dead in the gully alongside his driveway. And other reports say a 911 call came in a few minutes later alerting hospitals that a gunshot victim was en route, but nobody ever showed up. So my guess is that there were actually 3 guys involved, and the 2nd one died on the way to the hospital. So expect another body to turn up in the next few days.

Youth jail is ‘like holiday camp’ with offenders given choice of lavatory seat covers .

Maybe it’s just me but ... do you think that possibly there’s a connection between young punks attitudes towards the law, the courts, the cops and the general public, and this sort of thing.  Ya think?  After all, what’s there to fear? 

A flagship youth jail has been branded a “holiday camp” offering juvenile criminals large plasma screen TVs, the latest computer consoles and even their own choice of lavatory seat covers.

By Richard Edwards, Crime Correspondent
Published: 6:43PM BST 27 Jul 2009

Helen Stanmore, a former drugs worker at Warren Hill prison in Suffolk, claimed that young offenders enjoy a “cushy life” playing on Nintendo Wii consoles and regularly ordering into jail items from Argos catalogues.

She said the institute, which holds some of Britain’s most dangerous young criminals, allows offenders to choose their own seat covers for the lavatories in their en-suite bathrooms.

“It is a cushy life - it beggars belief what a comfortable life they have,” Mrs Stanmore said.

“I used to be shocked by how many creature comforts the prisoners were given.

“As long as they behave themselves they get everything.”

The former substance misuse worker, who lives in Ipswich and last worked at Warren Hill in May last year, added: “They get the most hi-tech stuff. It is like a seafront arcade. No expense is spared for these young murderers.

“It is a holiday camp, not a prison. They have a better life in there than what they have outside.”

Ms Stanmore, 52, claimed that cannabis was regularly used by prisoners and described one conversation she once had with a prison officer.

“He said to me that ‘if they have got cannabis it keeps my night-shift quiet’”.

The Prison Service said yesterday that Warren Hill is “anything but soft”.

A spokesman said: “Prison is about punishment and reform. It is anything but soft and it is absurd to suggest otherwise.

“No-one should be fooled by suggestions to the contrary.

“The punishment of the court is a loss of liberty by being sent to prison, which combines tough regimes with the opportunity of rehabilitation.”

Last year Warren Hill, which was opened in 1982, was praised by the Prison Service Chief Inspector as an institution “other juvenile units should aspire to”.

Policeman ordered to undergo further training after swearing at abusive criminal .

It isn’t that there weren’t any criminals when I was young and growing up. Of course there were.
But way back then in the dark ages, you just didn’t (most didn’t) get abusive with a cop unless you wanted to risk losing your two front teeth. Accidentally of course.

There were boundaries that just were not crossed without great risk.
Enter left wing wimpy,drippy, hand wringing, heart wringing left wing liberals fronting civil rights groups and the result is this crap. 

A police sergeant has been ordered to undertake a “management advice course” because he swore while dealing with a violent and abusive criminal who had threatened officers during a two-hour siege.

By Paul Stokes
The Telegraph

He may also face legal action from serial offender Glen Francis whose complaint was upheld by a disciplinary hearing.

Francis, 35, flew into a rage when officers called to arrest his girlfriend at his home, hurling a bowl of pasta at a policewoman guarding the hallway.

He was claimed to have held her captive and threatened to shoot her before she escaped from the house in North Shields, Tyne and Wear.

When police back-up arrived, he was said to have lunged at them with a six inch knife before he was shot twice with a Taser gun.

Even then he pulled metal barbs from his skin before barricading himself inside the kitchen where he smashed the walls with a hammer and shouted: “The first copper in here is getting ------- killed, come on, I only want one of you.”

Trained negotiators were called in and he was eventually taken into custody after officers stormed the room and Tasered him a further three times.

He complained that after he had been stripped searched, the sergeant referred to him as a ----.

An investigation by Northumbria Police Professional Standards Department (PSD) found the sergeant guilty of misconduct for using the swear word.

A PSD report states that the sergeant was pushed into making an “inappropriate comment” following a tirade of abuse from Francis.

It said: “The police officer openly admits he made the inappropriate comment about Mr Francis after the strip search had been conducted.

“He admits this was unprofessional, although it was never his intention for Mr Francis to hear this comment. He stipulates this comment was a result of the violence and abuse from Mr Francis.”

The sergeant, who has not been named has been ordered to undergo to attend a “management advice course”.

Francis’s complaints of being stripped and handcuffed on a cell floor were dismissed.

He says he is discussing legal action with his solicitor and plans to lodge a complaint with the European Court of Human Rights.

Francis, now of Wallsend, North Tyneside, said: “I want to take legal action because they just get a telling off for what they did.

“It was an insult when I heard how the officer who swore at me got off - it upset me to hear someone say that. I’ve got a hole in my heart and they used a Taser, which could have killed me.”

(what a shame it didn’t kill this asswipe. and the slower the better . this is what the criminal justice system has come to.)

After the incident in February 2008, he was charged with offences of false imprisonment, threats to kill and affray.

He was convicted of affray at Newcastle Crown Court in September and given a 12-month suspended prison sentence.

Francis, who underwent an operation in January to repair a heart defect from birth, said: “I was a toe-rag when I was younger, but I’m trying to go straight. I’m really scared of the police now - I’m like a bag of nerves.”

A Northumbria Police spokesman said if any civil claim was made it would be considered “in the usual manner”.

Simon Reed, Vice-Chairman of the Police Federation of England and Wales, said: “This case just typifies the bureaucratic nonsense police officers often have to contend with.

“As for the convicted criminal’s human rights, did he consider the same rights of the officers he threatened during the incident?

“It’s high time the criminal justice system in this country was properly reviewed so that it protects those who abide by the law and does not pander to those who do not.”

oh dear oh dear oh dear. the poor boy was charged with ... “affray?” Affray?  Oh that’ll put the fear of God in him.  Affray.

Coming to a street near you, maybe yours? Ax murderer walks out of open prison. Kops looking.

First thing needs doing is deleting liberals, liberal courts and judges and then, re-instate the death penalty and use the damn thing.

“Time spent in open prisons affords prisoners the opportunity to find work, re-establish family ties, reintegrate into the community and ensure housing needs are met.”

Oh right you are.  Give scum like this guy the very things he took away from his victim.
This kinda crap just ticks me off.  Maybe because I don’t understand any of it.
Well anyway ... this is the state of things here and my bet is it’s the same everywhere else as well.

An axe murderer has gone on the run from an open prison after he was given leave to work for a charity.

By Richard Edwards, Crime Correspondent
21 Jul 2009

William Reddican, 56, who was convicted of murder in 1981, failed to return to Sudbury open prison in Derbyshire having been allowed out to work in the village.

Despite having been released into the community on Saturday, police have now warned the public that he should not be approached.

Reddican was jailed for life after he killed Byrom Clarke, 62, in Cheetham, Manchester, in December 1981. The judge called him a “dangerous and violent” individual who carried out a “savage, premeditated murder with the utmost ferocity”.

Reddican was released from a life sentence on licence but was convicted of assault at Trafford magistrates in February 2005 and sent back to prison. He has been serving his sentence at Sudbury Open Prison in Derbyshire.

He is the second inmate to escape from custody at the prison this month, after a 35-year-old man who was serving a sentence for attempted murder walked out of Sudbury and did not return.

A Prison Service spokesman said: “All those located in open conditions have been risk assessed and categorised as being of low risk to the public.

“Time spent in open prisons affords prisoners the opportunity to find work, re-establish family ties, reintegrate into the community and ensure housing needs are met.

“For long-term prisoners these are essential components for successful resettlement and an important factor in protecting the public.”

Reddican is described as 5ft 10, medium build, with receding brown hair and green eyes.

He was 28 when he committed the axe attack. He denied murder but was found guilty after a trial at Manchester Crown Court.

The trial heard that Reddican, armed with an axe he had bought earlier for £3.60, went to Mr Clarke’s house in Cheetham looking for his girlfriend. She had left him and had been staying there with a friend. He struck Mr Clarke a “large number of times”across his head and face. He died instantly.

COMING TO ENGLAND SOON. REAL SOON.  AND NOBODY TO STOP THE VERMIN. OPEN BORDERS?

The govt here, which I heard was broke, is giving the French almost $30,000.000.00 to search illegals ON THEIR SIDE of the channel. Wait a minute. Hold the phone.  Lyndon.  Can you explain that?  Maybe things done differently here. (?) People are trying to sneak into the UK, they are in France but trying to come here.  So the Brits PAY the French to do something they should be doing anyway?  My head has just become a spinning top. 

Years and years ago, way before BMEWS and the younger folks here, a brilliant politician here name Enoch Powell, warned about immigration, the open door, and especially the kinds of immigrants they were gonna get.  His ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech about the dangers of mass immigration cost him his job and career. 

Calais migrants ambush Britons at knifepoint in terrifying ‘highway robberies’

By James Slack and Ian Sparks
Last updated at 8:19 AM on 21st July 2009

Migrant gangs in Calais are targeting British holidaymakers in terrifying ‘highway robberies’.

Would-be illegal immigrants are forming human roadblocks to force motorists passing through the French port town to stop.

People are then robbed at knifepoint by the migrants, who are desperate for funds to help them sneak into the UK.

Last night police in Calais issued a warning to the nine million Britons a year who pass through Calais - the equivalent of 25,000 every day.

They urged motorists to keep their windows closed and doors locked until they are safely inside the ferry terminal.

Officers said they had received several reports from holidaymakers of having to ‘run a gauntlet’ of migrants between the town and the ferry port.

One British couple reported being forced to stop by bedraggled refugees on the port approach road last week.

A Calais police spokesman said: ‘Frontier police received a report from a British couple who said the gang formed a human chain across the road to stop them.

‘Around six of them then surrounded the car and waved a knife in the male driver’s face and demanded cash. He threw his wallet out of the window and sped off. The refugees fled into the woods on foot.’

Police said several days later another British family ploughed through a refugee roadblock, knocking down and injuring one of the migrants.

Robert Moncrieff, 80, following in a car close behind, said: ‘There was a refugee lying in the road who looked injured. He was surrounded by several of his accomplices.

‘We drove straight past and when we reached the port, the driver told us the refugees had tried to flag him down but he had driven through them and knocked one over.’

The police spokesman added: ‘We advise drivers to drive slowly at anyone blocking the road, giving the clear intention you do not want to be stopped.

‘If the road remains blocked, keep the windows closed and doors locked, and call the police. Drivers should take any opportunity to drive away once the road is clear.’

He added: ‘We are stepping up security and police patrols in the area around the port, especially over the busy summer months.’

Since the closure of the Red Cross refugee centre at Sangatte in 2002, would-be migrants have been sleeping rough in and around Calais while they attempt to sneak on board cross-Channel trains and ferries.

There are currently around 2,000, many living in a squalid camp known as the Jungle, which the French government has said will not be cleared away until next year.

In April immigration minister Eric Besson vowed to bulldoze the litter-strewn shanty town - where a London journalist was raped by a migrant last year - after admitting it had become a hotbed for people smugglers and criminal gangs.

But he has now said the camp must remain in place until it can be dismantled ‘in a dignified manner’.

French politicians have blamed Britain for the return of migrant camps to Calais.

The mayor of Calais, Natacha Bouchart, said the lure of the UK’s ‘enormous’ state handouts to asylum-seekers was the reason why thousands of foreigners are using the French port as a staging point to get across the Channel.

Mrs Bouchart said the UK Government’s policies were ‘imposing’ thousand of migrants on the town, costing the local economy millions of pounds.

Earlier this month, Gordon Brown agreed to give France £15million for new technology to search vehicles heading for Britain.

In return, France undertook to step up the repatriation of illegal immigrants.

Last night a UK Border Agency spokesman said: ‘We are confident the French authorities will take any action necessary to protect those travelling back to Britain.’

DAILY MAIL

Oh I love this line.
“the camp must remain in place until it can be dismantled ‘in a dignified manner’.”

Why? There isn’t anything at all dignified about the vermin there.  A few heads stuck on pikes in full view might discourage others.
The west is definitely too civilized for its own good.

And it’s not even illegal

You’ve committed your life to Jesus. You know you’re saved.  But when the Rapture comes what’s to become of your loving pets who are left behind?  Eternal Earth-Bound Pets takes that burden off your mind.

We are a group of dedicated animal lovers, and atheists. Each Eternal Earth-Bound Pet representative is a confirmed atheist, and as such will still be here on Earth after you’ve received your reward.  Our network of animal activists are committed to step in when you step up to Jesus.

We are currently active in 20 states and growing.  Our representatives have been screened to ensure that they are atheists, animal lovers, are moral / ethical with no criminal background, have the ability and desire to rescue your pet and the means to retrieve them and ensure their care for your pet’s natural life. 

We currently cover the following states: Maine,New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Colorado, Oklahoma, Kansas, Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana ... and growing.

Our service is plain and simple; our fee structure is reasonable.  For $110.00 we will guarantee that should the Rapture occur within ten (10) years of receipt of payment, one pet per residence will be saved.  Each additional pet at your residence will be saved for an additional $15.00 fee.  A small price to pay for your peace of mind and the health and safety of your four legged friends.

Unfortunately at this time we are not equipped to accommodate all species and must limit our services to dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, and small caged mammals.

Outwardly, this sounds like a nice idea. After all, people love their pets, and they worry. And it’s not at all hard to watch the news or even look out the window sometimes and start thinking that the End Times are coming soon. And even if you believe that pets have souls, it’s pretty hard to know if they’ve seen the light. So a service like this seems ideal.

But when you think it through, you’ll realize it’s a con. And if you look into it, and read the “fine print” it all becomes clear.

* Eternal Earth-Bound Pets, USA (EE-BP) is not liable, and no refunds will be made, in the event of the loss, death, sale, or transfer of a subscriber’s pet(s) prior to the Rapture and during the coverage period of the contract.
* Service period commences with receipt of payment. Service contract expires ten (10) years from date of receipt of payment.
* Change in address of the original owner/subscriber residence will be honored upon notification via email to EE-BP as long as the new address is within EE-BP’s existing service area.  No refunds will be made for address changes outside of EE-BP’s service area during the contract period.  Our service covers only one (1) rescue address per contract and fee.
* In the event of the death of the subscribing pet owner prior to the Rapture the contract will remain in effect. EE-BP will continue to honor the contract for the remainder of the contract period.  We do not adopt / rescue animals except as a result of the Rapture occurance.
* If subscriber loses his/her faith and/or the Rapture occurs and subscriber is not Raptured (aka is “left behind") EE-BP disclaims any liability; no refund will be tendered. 
* Should a relative residing within the rescue location not be Raptured and opts to retain the pet(s), EE-BP will not take posession of the pet(s).  No refund will be tendered.
* EE-BP neither makes or implies any other warranties or claims of any other services or products except as described in this website. EE-BP is not associated with any other animal/pet rescue service, foundation or entity.
* All sales are final. 

... et cetera ...

So don’t be conned. Even if this is entirely legal, it’s still a con, as you have absolutely no way of verifying that the pets will be taken care of.

This is kind of funny in a “dayum, y’all got some nerve!” kind of way. And it reminds me of the graphic joke about the dueling billboards, one at the Catholic Church, one at the Protestant Church, on whether pets have souls. And, of course, the one about the Lutheran German Shepard that turned out to not be a Lutheran.

another submission by the excellent Rancino. Where does he find this stuff?

It just damn well doesn’t stop. Not for a day. Can’t believe I’m even posting this.

This is truly madness folks. I want to do ...  what exactly? I don’t know but it sure as hell bothers the life outta me.

I don’t care to post the entire article but it’s yours to read at the link.

This sort of thing happens so often here I find myself unable to express myself in words other then that of the most violent nature.
It’s simply beyond me how things have reached this point without the public rising up and forming vigilante groups. And even I can see the danger in that. But what else is there?  The law? The Law?  Really? Where? Punishment? When? How often?
Nuts!

Teacher knifed to death as she walked her dog

By Daily Mail Reporter
updated at 7:37 PM on 12th July 2009

A teacher was stabbed to death by a man who pounced on her as she walked her dog on playing fields.

Sally Garwood was knifed and killed in broad daylight as she took her family’s dog for an afternoon walk in a park in Buckinghamshire yesterday.

Dollars to donuts the bastard that did it won’t serve long, they’ll say he has a mental problem. We hear that so often after a crime like this. Too often.

Ppl with known problems like this need to be EUTHANIZED and sooner is better then later.  Screw the hand wringers.  Folks who show the first signs of this sort of behavior need to be put down.  And if as in a case like this they’ve stabbed someone to death, then that should be their penalty as well.

Very recently a 16 yr old boy was arrested for raping a young boy.  He has a record of this and yet he was out walking the streets 8 days after his arrest for another attack.  Seems he likes young boys. Authorities are aware of the creep and his record which isn’t a short one.

Surely you’d think if this place doesn’t like the death penalty, then the very least they should do is burn off his willy and see how the little shit likes that.
Oh, they can’t publish his name or show his photo due to his tender years and his “fuckin’ rights.”

Meanwhile ... a child killer/rapist is in jail and is suing the govt. over his right to vote.  That it has gone far enough to attract the attention of the press here show how very bad things are and how screwed up the system is. 

Makes me feel right at home, cause I know things aren’t a hell of a lot better there.

Chinese fireman stops man from dropping daughter from window in dramatic rescue.

Just booted again and found this. WOW.
A crowd tried attacking the slug. Good.
Hey, I approve of the way the Chinese do things. Or should I say their attitude. ok, I approve both cept I wish they’d have let the creep jump. And what is it with those who want to kill themselves but also feel like they must take an innocent child with them. What’s with that?

A Chinese fireman crawled along the eighth-floor ledge of a building to stop a man from dropping his two-year-old daughter out of a window.

Hu Binjun, a 34-year-old unemployed man in the central Chinese city of Chengdu in Sichuan province, spent three hours threatening to commit suicide and dangling his daughter out of an apartment building by her legs.

Mr Hu’s wife told Chinese reporters that the couple had argued in the early hours of the morning and that he had been taking drugs.

Several attempts to coax Mr Hu into putting the girl down failed, until Chen Long, a 22-year-old fireman dressed in army uniform, dropped down from a window on the floor above and grabbed the child away from her parent.

As Mr Chen intervened, Mr Hu tried again to snatch the girl back, eventually falling back into his apartment.

He was arrested by the police after the incident on Tuesday, but subsequently attacked by a crowd of onlookers for threatening the life of the girl.

His daughter, who has not been named, suffered bruising on her arms and legs, but no serious injury.
