RULES ON TRAVELLERS RESTRICT US, SAYS CITY COUNCIL

There is no link to the story that I could find, and so I am only copying the relevent things from the article.

It highlights, you might say, the problems posed by a people called Travelers.  I posted something on the subject yesterday, but this appeared in a local weekly paper today and concerns itself with news from our county, which is Hampshire. In terms of ID for those of you reading this in America, Hampshire could be thought of as a state. In actual fact though, in England it’s a shire. A large one and not a cheap one either.
The photo here is taken from the web and was taken in the eastern part of Hampshire called The Meon Valley.  A place of great beauty and many villages I could be happy in for a short time.  It really is a choice spot so I guess bad as they are, travelers have some amount of taste. Or at least appreciation for pretty countrysides.  (re the spelling. Travelers apparently is spelled two ways and both accepted. )

The headline read as follows:

RULES ON TRAVELLERS RESTRICT US, SAYS COUNCIL
Hampshire Chronicle
Feb. 25, 2010

SHORTFALLS in the law are hampering the city council’s ability to move on travellers, members have been told.
Winchester City Council viewed a list of all known camps in the district - legal or not - at a meeting last Thursday.

There were seven illegal plots that were all in The Meon Valley.
The city council is frustrated because it doesn’t have the appropreiate powers to deal with illegal sites. “It’s not because of inadequacies among the officers, but inadequacies in the law.

HEY THERE BMEWS …. THINK THIS JOKE IS FUNNY?

“A man walked into a Dublin bar and saw a friend sitting with an empty glass.

‘Paddy can I buy you another’, he asked, to which Paddy replied - ‘now what would I be wanting with another empty glass?”

IF YOU THINK IT’S FUNNY AND YOU TELL THAT JOKE TO SOME IRISHMEN HERE ON THIS SIDE OF THE ATLANTIC .....


Councillor ordered to pay compensation for ‘racist’ joke

A Conservative councillor has been ordered to pay compensation to a union rep after telling a “racist” joke about a dim-witted Irishman.

By Nick Britten

Cllr Ken Bamber, who sits on Medway Council in Kent, was chatting with Brian Kelly, a Unison rep, when he made the joke.

He told Mr Kelly: “A man walked into a Dublin bar and saw a friend sitting with an empty glass. ‘Paddy can I buy you another’, he asked, to which Paddy replied - ‘now what would I be wanting with another empty glass?”

Mr Kelly, who was born in Ireland, said Cllr Barber had used the word “Paddy” offensively and was being “racist with intent”.

He lodged an official complaint and took the matter to an employment tribunal, which referred the case to the conciliation service Acas.

Mr Kelly is believed to have been awarded several thousand pounds compensation, some from the council and some from Cllr Bamber.

Cllr Bamber, 79, said that although the judgement had taken “a long, long time” it had not affected his job.

The councillor, who chairs the business support overview and scrutiny committee and sits on five other committees, said: “I could make a lot of comments about this case, but I can’t I’m afraid.

“The council have now decided to draw a line under the matter and it is finally over and I can get on with my job.”

Speaking previously about the case, Mr Kelly said: “I couldn’t believe my ears - we were in the midst of a racial discrimination hearing.

“If there’s ever a more inappropriate time to start telling racist jokes that would have been it.

“This man was directly responsible for deciding whether the employee in question had a racial discrimination claim and he was telling racist jokes himself.

“I am proud of my Irish heritage and family and I felt deeply offended.”

A spokesman for the TaxPayers’ Alliance, said: “This case has taken too long to settle and looks like it will cost a lot of money.

“It distracts staff from doing what they should be doing - providing essential services for people.

“These sorts of matters need to be resolved as quickly as possible and any cost should be borne by the offending party, not the taxpayer.”

SOURCE

I really think the guy who claims he was “offended” is a lying sack of shit!
Could not the joke be interpreted as the Irishman at the bar being clever enough and funny enough to reply he didn’t need another empty glass?
And even if not.  So what?  How bad and is that joke from a standpoint of racial insult?  What if Paddy just happened to be his real name?
Yeah I know, I know.  This crap is way outta hand.
The court should have thrown it out.

Britain is the one sinking ship where all the rats have stayed!  -

This is not the first time I have posted that remark by a Brit now living in France and happy to be there.
This will not be the last time I use his (or her?) quote either, as long as there are judgments made like this one.  At the very least, the very least, this animal should have had his eyes removed minus any pain killer. And oh yeah, he should have been fixed so that his victim would be the very last female he would ever enjoy again. Ever!  Read this and if you are one who really thinks three years is any sort of punishment, then you’re no better then his fuckin lawyer. Who btw, I hope the very same happens to.  We’ll then see how quick she is to take on a like case and defend vermin like this.  Vermin like this have NO need of lawyers. 

Boy, 13, who raped woman in front of his friends is jailed for just three years… because he said ‘sorry’

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
26th January 2010

A boy of 13 who overpowered a woman then raped her in front of his two friends will spend just three years locked away for his crimes.

Balal Khan - thought to be one of the youngest convicted rapists in Britain - targeted the 20-year-old as she walked home.

He subjected her to a severe beating then screamed at her ‘Do what I say or I’ll kill you’, before putting her through the ordeal of a terrifying sex attack.

Then he stole her bag and phone and even took a call from his victim’s boyfriend to whom he bragged about what he had done.

But after pleading guilty to charges of rape and robbery the teenager was sentenced to just three years because of his age - and because he said ‘sorry’.

A judge at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court lifted a restriction preventing the publication of Khan’s identity after hearing details of the horrifying attack.

The judge heard how Khan ran up behind his victim and grabbed her around the neck as she walked through a secluded area near Cobridge, in Stoke-on-Trent one evening in September last year.

He punched and kicked her as she lay on the ground before raping her.

Robert Price, prosecuting, said: ‘She started screaming and attempted to get to her feet.

‘He responded by punching her in the mouth and knocked her back on the ground.

‘He stood over her and kicked her to the side of her face. He started shouting at her and warned that if she struggled he would “kill” her.’

SCHOOL DAZE, SCHOOL DAZE, GOOD OLDE FASHIONED SCHOOL DAYS GONE FOREVER.

But all is not lost.  Just ask elf ‘n’ safety.

I wanna write hundreds of words on this but I can’t think of one outside of ... HUH? Gee, in our day 100 yrs ago a sand box was fun. Now it could be a danger. And sadly, it really could be considering the times and the kind of ppl roaming about who shouldn’t be. Jeesh.

Health and safety rules to guard pupils against dangers of singing and spicy food
Schools are being warned to follow new health and safety rules designed to protect pupils from musical instruments, singing with a dry mouth, spicy food, a helicopter landing in the playing field and other bizarre hazards.

By Julie Henry, Education Correspondent

The guidelines produced by councils highlight a whole range of unlikely threats to be guarded against.
Headteachers are told to carry out “risk assessments” for scenarios ranging from a pupil injuring himself with a musical instrument, to a helicopter landing on school grounds.

Policies are having to be drawn up to meet health and safety diktats which are unnecessary, state the obvious or relate to incidents that are never likely to happen, according to headteachers.

One council has produced more than 70 risk assessment forms for schools, one of which focuses on “voice care” for teachers. It lists “hazards” including “throat clearing, failing to lubricate the mouth, singing in too high or too deep a tone, using a forced whisper or talking too quickly”.
It even advises against “hot spicy foods, very hot drinks and breathing continually through the mouth”, which it says can “have an adverse effect on the voice”.

Another authority has a 35-page health and safety code for primary schools which points out that hemlock and deadly nightshade plants should not be grown by children.
Headteachers said last night that the health and safety culture had gone too far.

“Schools used to feel under pressure to have a policy for everything that moves, now they have to have a policy for everything that might move and even for things which don’t,” said Mick Brookes, general secretary of the National Association of Head Teachers. “This guidance is produced by local authorities in the guise of being helpful but it is all about the transfer of responsibility.
“Schools do have to keep sites safe but this deluge of paperwork goes beyond that. It’s just too much information. These things need to be nailed down to sensible risk assessments. Time shouldn’t be wasted producing a policy on everything.”

Local authorities say the risk assessment guidance is sent to schools to in a bid to keep staff and pupils safe, as well as to protect officials from being sued if accidents occur.

No Evidence!

Gee, how much of a NO SURPRISE AT ALL EXCEPT THAT IT TOOK YOU SO LONG is this one?


Blagojevich evidence stolen from his lawyers’ offices



Chicago police were investigating a burglary at the offices of attorneys for former Gov. Rod Blagojevich in which at least one computer containing undercover recordings from the sweeping corruption case was stolen, sources said.

The break-in took place about 4 a.m. at the law offices of Sam Adam and his son, Sam Adam Jr., in the 6100 block of South Ellis Avenue, police and Sam Adam Jr. said.

Contrary to early statements by a police News Affairs officer who referred calls regarding the burglary to the FBI, the FBI is not involved in the investigation, FBI Chicago office spokesman Ross Rice said in a statement.

The burglars set off an alarm but escaped the area. Investigative sources said there are no suspects.

Chicago police said eight computers and a safe were taken from the office, but they could not say what information the computers contained.

“It could be a happenstance burglary. All leads will be followed,” said Chicago Police Deputy Supt. Steve Peterson.

The U.S. attorney’s office in Chicago declined to comment on the incident or the theft of evidence in the case.

It is unclear if the burglary could delay Blagojevich’s trial scheduled for June.




Yet another Watergate pulled off by the corrupt left. And it will get no media attention and it will never be solved.

Ever.

Drews post, Let’s Put Air Shocks On The Bus, and Abraham Lincoln

H/T Macker for this.

image

Until Drew’s post yesterday, I had never heard of this guy.  It’s so totally beyond the pale, as to be almost unbelievable.  That it’s beyond reason goes without saying.  I don’t get it. I don’t understand. I don’t accept this kind of public perversion, but then why not? Look at what passes for public entertainment these days.  Look what passes for acceptable and normal behavior. Look what passes for art and talent.  Look to the left and their values.  Things are accepted today that at one time would have shamed people.  But shame doesn’t seem to play a very large roll in public life anymore.  And to be very, brutally honest, conservatives have not been able to stem the tide. Have we?  And in our own defense I should also say we never really stood a chance of doing so.  Because the enemy is, and no surprise is it? Us.

I did see the links Drew provided and he was right.  Pretty damn sick stuff.

I had been going on about what I call our 5th column for so long, that even I got sick of it.  Doesn’t make it less true though.

Which leads me to this.  I found it in the preface to a book I read only in the last week.  It is credited to Abraham Lincoln. I thought it fit.

“At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means means shall we fortify against it?  Shall we expect some trans-Atlantic military giant to step the ocean and crush us at a blow?

Never!

All the armies of Europe, Asia, and Africa combined ...  could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years.

At what point then is the appraoch of danger to be expected?

I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us.  It cannot come from abroad.  If destruction be our lot, we ourselves must be its author and finisher.  As a nation of free men, we must live through all times, or die by suicide.”

Abraham Lincoln

EYE CANDY WITH A CAUSE AND PRETTY SMART AS WELL

You need to see the link for the other photos.  Pretty good story for once.  The little guy (lady in this case) hits back and wins.
Lots of determination, lots of patience, lots of time spent and worth the effort.

You should see the link below for photo with the mom’s back garden. The construction company covered the whole thing. Looks like it has a roof on it.

Beautician turns lawyer to win David and Goliath High Court battle with construction giant

By Andrew Levy

13th November 2009

Georgina Blackwell took on Belway Construction over a right of access dispute at the High Court and won

Georgina Blackwell makes an unlikely candidate to stand up in front of a judge and take on seasoned lawyers in the High Court.

image

As she herself points out, she’s a young, blonde beautician from Essex.

But when her mother’s home and business were put at risk in an access dispute with one of the country’s biggest homebuilders, the 23-year-old decided she had to fight back.

The court battle revolved around a Grade II listed former school her mother had bought in Halstead, Essex.

Ranged against her was Bellway Homes, one of the country’s biggest developers. It wanted to convert land it had bought next door into luxury homes.

But Miss Blackwell emerged triumphant from her confrontation with the developers’ legal team.

Not only did she manage to overturn a previous High Court judgment, she also won her mother £75,000 compensation.

‘I’m a blonde, 23-year-old beautician from Essex,’ she said. ‘I know it doesn’t look good on paper, but I think they underestimated me.

‘I felt scared stiff by the huge courtroom and speaking in front of a High Court judge but I got a surge of adrenaline and thought “They aren’t going to intimidate me”.

‘I opened the case, gave evidence, and cross-examined their solicitor. When the judgment was read out it was fantastic. I wanted to jump up and down.

‘Bellway’s legal team sat there with no expressions, heads down. The barrister came over and congratulated me. He said I had put up a good fight.

My mum was going to lose her business and her home and that gave me the courage to stand up and be counted.’

Her mother Sandra, 52, bought the 600-year-old former school in 2003 to open a salon called The House of Beauty.

Bellway later bought an empty factory which backs on to the garden to build 43 homes.

It believed it had a right of access to cross Mrs Blackwell’s small garden, which it needed to demolish two of the factory walls. When she refused access, Bellway took her to court.

She lost the case in July and was ordered to pay Bellway’s legal costs of £22,000 and a ‘five-figure’ sum in damages. The firm put scaffolding in the garden and began demolition.

Miss Blackwell - who was offered a place to study law at Kingston University in South-West London when she was 17 but started working in the salon when her mother broke her wrist - said: ‘Our garden has three walls.

Bellway put scaffolding in Mrs Blackwell’s garden and began demolition, which was halted after they lost the court case

One of them divides us from a neighbour and the other two are where they built the factory.

‘Never in a million years did we think we would be put in a position where someone would demand access, fill the garden with scaffolding, destroy the plants, cover the house with dust, and disrupt our business.’

After hearing it would cost £5,000 for a barrister to take a fresh look at the case, Miss Blackwell decided to take it up herself.

She checked the deeds to the house and discovered that the right of access was to only one of the factory walls.

She took the case back to the High Court and on Tuesday Mrs Justice Proudman ruled in Mrs Blackwell’s favour and told Bellway to pay compensation.

Miss Blackwell added: ‘It’s such a massive weight off our shoulders now we know we are not facing bankruptcy. We stood up for our rights and won.

‘I always wanted to be a barrister and over the past couple of days I have been looking at university places again.’

Miss Blackwell attended a nearby comprehensive, where she passed 11 GCSEs and three A-levels. Describing how she had to turn down the university place in 2004, she said: ‘I wanted to get my degree so much, but I felt it was important to be there for my mum.’

Bellway said: ‘We do not wish to discuss the case.’

Animal abuser—Baby abuser—Baby rapist. Threatens to sue to keep “his good name.” AND WINS!

We all know the job of a defense lawyer is to make the indefensible , defensible.  But this carries things to new extremes unheard of before. Or maybe not.  Nothing in todays culture carries any surprise anymore.  Especially where lawyers get involved.

For the first time I find myself on the same side as PETA and for that to happen folks takes one hell of an event.

Some weeks ago or maybe months, I related a story to you about some scum including the mother of a baby abused and finally killed, after months of torture.  The little kid was only 17 months old.  17 months old.  OK I won’t repeat all the things they did to the kid here.  It’s been known as the Baby P case should you want more information.

So just where does PETA come into this?

Well, PETA produced a poster with one of the baby abusers photos. And oh by the way, this absolute rotten excuse for a human had also raped a two year old girl. Keep this all in mind.

Here is the PETA poster.

image

Well BMEWS, this filthy bastard has through lawyers (proving why some really need to be graveyard dead by any and all means) that his “good name” was being ruined by PETA.  And they had to cave in!  He’s a baby raper and a damn killer and a child abuser BUT .... he still has a “good name.”
Yeah. I suppose in todays world he does. At least among the lawyers who would take and fight this case on his behalf. 

Baby P thug: Poster is ruining my good name
By Vanessa Allen

A sadistic thug who tortured Baby P has threatened to sue a charity for damaging his reputation, it was revealed yesterday.
Steven Barker was labelled a murderer by an animal rights group which used his police mugshot in a billboard campaign.

Now Barker, who was cleared of murder but convicted of ‘causing or allowing’ the death of 17-month-old Peter Connelly, has astonishingly decided that his ‘good name’ has been threatened by the posters.

It believes there is a link between cruelty to animals and violence towards humans.
Moors murderer Ian Brady killed cats and dogs as a child, serial killer Fred West mutilated and killed rabbits, and Soham killer Ian Huntley strangled a puppy and strapped fireworks to animals.

Spokesman Poorva Joshipura said: ‘Whatever the courts call Barker, the fact remains that violence towards animals is evil and if unchallenged it may be a warning that the perpetrator won’t stop there.

‘Abusers are generally cowards who seek out the most vulnerable victims, including children, animals and elderly people.’ Replacing the billboard cost £1,000 but PETA could have faced a much higher bill if Barker had sued successfully.

Baby Peter suffered more than 50 injuries during months of abuse by his mother, Barker and his brother Jason Owen.

The judge at the Old Bailey said neo-Nazi Barker played a ‘major role’ in the toddler’s death in August 2007. Owen was also found guilty of causing or allowing the death of a child, while Baby Peter’s mother admitted the same charge.

SOURCE

I’m really surprised PETA caved in but I also know they have lawyers too.  They were probably told they couldn’t win this.
What a miserable sad day for truth and right.  What a condemnation of where we’ve come.  What a shit world!

‘Manson family’ killer dies in prison after her 18 bids for parole were denied.

This may not be news for all at BMEWS in the USA. But it’s PURE pleasure for me to be able to post this.
GOOD!  I’m only sorry she couldn’t have wasted away in jail for more time and to be miserable but dead is very good too.

I hope with all my heart it was very slow and very painful but I doubt the do good doctors would allow that. Pity.
I’d have sliced her open exactly as she did to Sharon Tate and give the ugly bitch a taste of what she helped to cause.

I wish I could bring Judge Rose Bird back to life just so that I could set her alight. Then put out the fire and start all over again.
For those who don’t know what who I’m talking about; Rose Bird, a liberal lawyer who had never been a judge, became one of the most controversial figures in California politics. She led a liberal majority and was recalled over her opposition to the death penalty.
Yeah. And she died of breast cancer. LOL. ROTFLMAO

I celebrated (manner of speaking) when one of the defense lawyers was found dead on a mountainside. My only regret was that I wasn’t responsible.

I was working at KFI Radio in LA, on the night shift when the Manson killings first started being called in.  I recall a few of the gory and sickening details
this group of vile sub human filthy bastards were responsible for.  She apologized?  Who the fuck cares?  She should have been used for medical experiments along with the rest of that bunch.  And btw, I would include that deluded young woman who decided she was in love with one of those killers and married him in prison, and gave him children.

Hey America. How’s that for freeken justice huh?  Ole macho man Tex and this Atkins scum cut open Sharon Tate to see her baby. Oh what fun.
So Tate loses life and baby BUT .... the killer gets to father children.  OH ISN’T THAT JUST GREAT!  Anyone call that justice has to be nuts!

She tried 18 times to gain freedom?  How many times did her victims beg for their lives? 
I didn’t need to read Helter,Skelter people.  I was hearing about this crime before most of the public did.


Feeling any sort of compassion for the killer is treason to the victim!


Susan Atkins: ‘Manson family’ killer dies in prison after her 18 bids for parole were denied

By Mail Foreign Service
Last updated at 2:35 PM on 25th September 2009
Sharon Tate’s murderer Susan Atkins has died in prison, suffering from brain cancer.
The 61-year-old is the first of the Charles Manson clan, who were responsible for the 1969 murder of the pregnant Hollywood actress, to die.

Her death comes less than a month after an American parole board refused to free her from jail on compassionate ground despite her terminal illness. It was her last chance of freedom and she was brought to the hearing on a trolley and slept through most of it.

California Department of Corrections spokeswoman Terry Thornton said that Atkins died late Thursday night.
She had been diagnosed with brain cancer in 2008 had a leg amputated and underwent brain surgery.
Tate, the 26-year-old actress who appeared in the movie ‘Valley of the Dolls’ and was the wife of famed director Roman Polanski, was one of seven murdered in two Los Angeles homes during the Manson cult’s bloody rampage in August 1969.
Manson and three others involved in the murders - Patricia Krenwinkel, Leslie Van Houten and Charles “Tex” Watson - remain imprisoned under life sentences.

Atkins, who confessed from the witness stand during her trial, had apologised for her acts numerous times over the years.
But 40 years after the murders, she learned that few had forgiven what she and other members of the cult had done.
Debra Tate, the slain actress’s younger sister, told the parole commissioners Sept. 2 that she ‘will pray for (Atkins’) soul when she draws her last breath, but until then I think she should remain in this controlled situation’.
She also noted that she would have a 40-year-old nephew if her sister had lived.
Atkins and her co-defendants were originally sentenced to death but their sentences were reduced to life in prison when capital punishment was briefly outlawed by the U.S. Supreme Court in the 1970s.

A society that is subdued by its insatiable lust for pleasure ……….

"PLEASURE” in this case taking the form of imagined mass killing in copycat crime by teens.

Dear Fellow Americans,

You might be somewhat pleased to learn that our beloved country is not the only country with idiots for jurors.
Lawyers the world over have long been able, as I have mentioned before, to make the worst appear to be the better cause.
It’s their thing and quilt or innocence have nothing to do with it. It’s the love of the hunt.

Well, this week the UK has proved how well lawyers can actually screw with reality and paint a word picture that only a group of totally brain dead, gullible idiots would buy.

True, I was not in the court room. True, I only have the info reported in the papers. True finally that I wasn’t in the jury room to hear what they heard and talked about.  Did I need to be?

Here’s a couple of punks, would be killers who their lawyers say, were only up to teen age high jinks.  It was all imaginary. They really weren’t gonna try and pull off a Columbine type school mass-a-kree. No sir.  T’was merely teen age fantasy.  You know guys. Just like when you and I were very young and 18 or so.  That’s what young boys fantasize about right?  Kicking heads (literally) after shooting people.  You must recall surely that other schoolboy dream about cutting off a teachers legs and dropping her or him in a vat of acid.  You all remember that, don’t you?
Sure ya do.  We didn’t wanna be Errol Flynn or pitch a no hitter or pass a long one in a brilliant football blitz.  No indeed. We wanted to be Jack The Ripper.  FANTASY MY ACHING FOOT! 


Fantasising about mass murder - hardly the ‘frivolity of youth’!

By Richard Littlejohn
Last updated at 11:59 AM on 18th September 2009

This column is always quick to criticise the police and the CPS for bringing frivolous cases to court.
But don’t expect me to join the chorus of condemnation over the two teenagers accused of plotting a Columbine-style school massacre in Manchester.
If ever there was a prosecution in the public interest, this was it, even though it took a jury only 45 minutes to return a verdict of not guilty.

That probably says more about the members of the jury than the evidence laid before them. I’m not arguing with the verdict, but that doesn’t mean the case should not have been brought.
Over three weeks, the Crown produced plenty of evidence to support the contention that Matthew Swift and Ross McKnight were planning a bloodbath at their school to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the Columbine massacre in the U.S.

McKnight told a terrified fellow pupil that he intended to shoot as many people as possible.
After she reported it to police, officers who raided the teenagers’ homes discovered hate-filled diaries, newspaper cuttings about shootings and bombmaking manuals.

In Swift’s bedroom they found a safe containing details on how to use acetone peroxide as a detonator, along with plans and maps of the school.
There was also a pad on which was written: ‘Project Rainbow, Ground Zero...Eric Harris, Dylan Klebold will rise again.’ (Harris and Klebold were the Columbine killers.) Swift wrote about being the reincarnation of Harris.

His collection of reading material included Hitler’s autobiography Mein Kampf and The Turner Diaries, said to have inspired the Columbine murderers. Police also found two films about school shootings, Elephant and Zero Day.
The pair had bought combat clothing and backpacks and made mobile phone videos of themselves allegedly experimenting with explosives. They boasted in their journal about staging ‘the greatest massacre ever’.

While McKnight fantasised about shooting schoolmates ‘one by one’ and kicking their heads off as he walked past, Swift talked about killing a teacher, cutting her legs off and throwing her into a tank of hydrochloric acid.
The defence maintained all this was simply ‘teenage angst’, pure escapism, mere juvenile bravado. The jury even laughed when McKnight’s father said his son was full of ‘hare-brained schemes’.
Though McKnight and Swift were found not guilty of conspiracy to commit murder and cause explosions, they are guilty of rank stupidity and recklessness.

McKnight made a ranting phone call ‘confessing’ to the plot. His lawyer says he wasn’t serious because when he made the call he was out of his skull on a cocktail of drink and drugs. Bless him.
Their headmaster said they were lovely boys who were never in any trouble. That’s what we were told about the 7/7 bombers, too, after they killed 52 people and injured hundreds of others.

Listening to defending counsel, you’d have been forgiven for believing that Swift and McKnight were innocent victims here, not architects of their own ordeal. Step forward the bold Roderick Carus QC, for McKnight, who declared after the verdict that the trial was a huge waste of money.
‘This was an unnecessary, heavy-handed prosecution against two lads who could have been dealt with in a more sensitive way,’ he said. ‘I would hope the prosecuting authorities make more allowances for the frivolity of youth in future.
‘Why could they not have taken them to one side, slapped them on the wrists and said: “Don’t be silly boys, now go off and enjoy your careers in the Army”?’

Run that by me again. They want to join the Army? They might not be guilty, but these two shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near the Armed Forces.
The military wouldn’t want any truck with disturbed young men who, by their own admission, boasted about staging a school massacre. This trial has at least done the Army a huge favour.

Admittedly, he’s got a job to do, but does Mr Carus seriously believe that fantasising about mass murder is nothing more than ‘frivolity of youth’?
Plenty of teenage boys fantasise about female teachers, but not cutting their legs off and dipping them in hydrochloric acid.
As for the case being a waste of money, if it brought home to these stupid boys the sheer wickedness of their fantasies and discouraged other Columbine wannabes, then it was worth every penny of the hundreds of thousands of pounds it is said to have cost.

The police and the CPS were on a hiding to nothing. Just imagine if they’d ignored the evidence and Swift and McKnight had acted on their fantasies, with all the carnage which would have ensued.
The authorities would have been slaughtered, if you’ll pardon the expression.
There would have been questions in the House, wailing and gnashing of teeth, and the Chief Constable of Manchester would have had to fall on his sword as a basis for negotiation.

As for the jury, we can only speculate on the speed with which they returned their verdict.
Three weeks in court is a long time, but you might have thought that, given the gravity of the charges, they could have given their deliberations another few minutes, if only to make the defendants sweat a bit longer.

Was it really necessary for the jury to stay behind after the verdict, waving and smiling? This was a serious criminal case, not the finale of Britain’s Got Talent.
The carnival atmosphere which followed their release was a symptom of a society which has gone soft in the head.
Here were two defendants who’d had a lucky escape. Another day, another jury, who knows?

Both boys were on remand for six months before the trial, and McKnight’s father says they have been through ‘purgatory’.
Good. Let’s hope that Swift and McKnight have had time to reflect on their stupidity and culpability in this circus.
They had their day in court and were found not guilty. But the police and CPS were absolutely right to bring it to trial, even if the jury didn’t think so.
Better safe than sorry.

The monster who wants to be a martyr: 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed .

Given the time difference I should have been finished earlier. But better late then never is very true here.
I guess I became aware of this muslim rat bastard about the same time you folks did.  I was disappointed to be honest, because I saw no serious marks on his face. Yeah, you could see he’d roughed up a bit.  But that’s never enough to satisfy me were these sub humans are concerned.

I’m especially PO’d knowing “Human Rights” lawyers will be involved with this. I don’t understand that since nothing human is visible to me.
No point in me ranting about what should be done with yuman rights lawyers.

I tend to have a violent and vindictive nature where these folks are concerned. And never, ever am I forgiving. I lump the lawyers in with guys like this rat’s ass.  And btw, aren’t we carrying this idea of “trials” a bit too far?  Trial for what?  To see if he’s guilty?  He’s proud of it. He says so.

If found guilty, Mohammed will achieve his aim of execution - which is why, in a bid for martyrdom, the Guantanamo Five wrote to the presiding judge saying that they wished to ‘announce our confessions and plea in full’.
There was no sense of regret, nor any hint of apology. Instead, the letter stated: ‘Our success is the greatest praise of the Lord’.

By success, they were referring, of course, to the 9/11 massacre for which Mohammed has admitted complete responsibility - ‘from A to Z’ as he put it.

I also have a beef with the writer of this column, referring to our CIA operatives as, CIA ‘ knuckledraggers.’ I can only hope that one day he becomes a victim himself.  How easy it is without being there, to be critical of our guys in the field.

In fairness however, the focus of his column today is on this miserable turd.

The monster who wants to be a martyr: 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is now aiming for execution

By Michael Burleigh
11th September 2009

Self-glorifying: Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, pictured in Guantanamo dressed like Osama Bin Laden

image

He has changed quite a bit since March 1, 2003, when at dead of night he was dragged, puffy-eyed and dressed in a dirty T-shirt, from a rat hole in Rawalpindi, the headquarters of Pakistan’s military.

Despite the CIA’s billion-dollar electronic surveillance networks, which netted other suspects, it was an informer slipping into a bathroom to text ‘I am with KSM’ that did for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the self-styled operational mastermind of 9/11 whose anniversary falls today.

The informer, described as ‘a little guy who looked like a farmer’ became $25 million (£15 million) richer after pocketing the bounty the U.S. government had placed on the terrorist’s head. He now lives in the U.S.

For Mohammed, capture meant a three-year odyssey through all manner of ‘dark places’ - unaccountable secret prisons and interrogation centres in countries ranging from Poland to Thailand - before his final transfer to Guantanamo Bay in September 2006.

He has grown bulkier during his incarceration there, and appears to have recovered some of his dignity. He wears white robes, with a huge beard and a turban adding to the imposing effect of his presence, as this picture taken by the Red Cross shows.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed wants to be executed and become a martyr to his grotesquely perverted cause. He and four other defendants pleaded guilty to murder and war crime charges at the military tribunal in Guantanamo back in December last year.

If found guilty, Mohammed will achieve his aim of execution - which is why, in a bid for martyrdom, the Guantanamo Five wrote to the presiding judge saying that they wished to ‘announce our confessions and plea in full’.

There was no sense of regret, nor any hint of apology. Instead, the letter stated: ‘Our success is the greatest praise of the Lord’.

By success, they were referring, of course, to the 9/11 massacre for which Mohammed has admitted complete responsibility - ‘from A to Z’ as he put it. Indeed, from his Karachi hidey-hole he set up banks of VCRs to capture his evil handiwork as the Twin Towers fell.

As for the 3,000 people killed, he dismissed them during one interrogation, saying ‘the language of war is victims’.

And the truth is that Mohammed, by attempting to gain martyrdom status, is still indulging in acts of war from within Guantanamo Bay.
Obama wants the prison closed by January next year

He wants to be a suicide defendant if you like, as opposed to a suicide bomber. He dismissed the military lawyer assigned last year to advise him in the conduct of his own defence, saying: ‘I understand we are in a big drama. We don’t want to waste our time with motions and motions.’

That is a clue to his strategy. Mohammed wants to be sentenced to death as quickly as possible, to take full advantage of the fact that much of the world abhors Guantanamo Bay and questions the legality of the military tribunals.

He hopes his death at the hands of wicked ‘Crusader-Zionists’ will appall a credulous Muslim world from which Al Qaeda will garner further recruits.

Yet he has been frustrated in his aims by President Obama. Although around 225 prisoners are still held in Guantanamo, the President has said he wants the prison closed by January next year.

In the meantime, as Obama decides how to proceed with the war crimes prosecutions begun under President Bush, Mohammed’s trial has been suspended.

So the master terrorist and his associates have clearly come up with a new strategy to fan the flames of extremism: encouraging the release of photographs of himself, dressed almost exactly as if he were Osama Bin Laden.

It was in February that the U.S. military started allowing the Red Cross, which monitors conditions in Guantanamo, to photograph detainees, and the charity has taken pictures of 107 inmates. Detainees are allowed to select two shots, and the Red Cross sends five prints to their families, along with personal messages.

The Red Cross insists the photos are not intended for general release, but after Mohammed was photographed in July, his pictures appeared on internet sites used by Al Qaeda and its sympathisers.

Jarret Brachman, former research director at the Combating Terrorism Center of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, fears they are being used to elicit sympathy and support for Mohammed.

Australian counter-terrorism expert Leah Farrall first noticed one of the photographs last week on an internet forum that Al Qaeda has used for messaging.

She said it has since ‘gone viral’, with users posting online statements of support for Mohammed. The former terrorism analyst with the Australian Federal Police said she saw a message that read: ‘We’ll come and get you.’

AN EARLY DECISION on Mohammed’s fate is highly unlikely given the difficulties that human rights lawyers will cause any prosecution case, amid concerns that his confessions were extracted by CIA ‘ knuckledraggers’ using morally dubious techniques. He is alleged to have been subjected to waterboarding (simulated drowning) 183 times.

But whatever the outcome, no one should be in any doubt that he is an evil man, diabolically fertile in inventing ways of causing mass carnage. He contributed money to the 1993 New York World Trade Centre bombing, whose mastermind was his nephew, Ramzi Yousef.

‘pocket money’ thug paid not to steal… is jailed for knifepoint robbery

image

Just doesn’t make a G-D bit of sense does it?  But of course it did. This is England.  NOT, “This is London” as in the radio broadcasts of the war years.
No, this shit is England today where multi-culture and diversity are everything.  Where English history is criticized and belittled, where the English language itself isn’t much encouraged or it seems that way. This is England 2009 where one idiot politician who actually heads a party once suggested ppl should, “hug a hoodie.” A country of ASBOs (Anti Social Behavior Orders) where young thugs and street punks try to earn one and wear it as a badge of honor.  This is an UNARMED except for the punks and killers, place where it was thought to be a really neat idea to pay a thug NOT TO STEAL.
Imagine that.  And horror of horrors what do you suppose happened? You won’t guess so I’ll spill the beans.
The criminal broke his word.  Yeah I know. Hard to believe.  After accepting the bribe he went out and robbed people anyway.
Just what in the heck is this world coming to when authorities can’t count on the word and promise of a criminal?

Fuckin Idiots!

Look I’m sorry for the bad language and it doesn’t make me look very smart I will grant you that.  But stuff like this just makes me boil and see red.
How in the world with all sorts of evidence to guide them, could authorities begin to believe this might work?  Bribes for thugs?
Oh heaven forbid they should find the money for libraries or child care or anything else but this, this, stupidity.

“Britain is the one sinking ship where all the rats have stayed!”


Soft justice fails as ‘pocket money’ thug paid not to steal… is jailed for knifepoint robbery

By Daily Mail Reporter
Last updated at 12:23 PM on 10th September 2009

A scheme which saw a teenage robber handed £60 a week not to steal by the Government has been exposed as a dismal failure after he was jailed for a terrifying knifepoint robbery.

Career criminal Casey Bowen, 28, burst into a shop in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, and subjected staff to a terrifying raid in May.

He punched a customer in the face and forced two members of staff to open the shop safe before stuffing the cash in a plastic box and cycling off.

Bowen was given the moniker ‘pocket money boy’ in 1994 when he was handed a £60-a-week incentive not to steal - after he was arrested a staggering 37 times in two years.

But after forking out £1,560 of tax payer’s cash in just six months, social services stopped the payments after it emerged his offending had got worse.

Bowen, of Churchdown, Gloucestershire, was paid to go on trips to Birmingham and London, visits to the cinema, the zoo, football matches and the seaside - but continued to offend.

And on Tuesday Bowen was jailed for five-and-a-half years at Gloucester Crown Court after admitting robbery.

A spokesman for social policy think tank Civitas said: ‘It was an enormous experiment which ended in utter failure. The 1990s scheme was a total disaster.

‘Young offenders were pampered when they should have been forcefully dealt with.’

Philip Davies, Tory MP for Shipley, told the Daily Express: ‘I hope the namby-pamby do-gooders take notice of this.

‘Instead of having money and goodies thrown at them, offenders should be punished for their crimes.’

Sentencing, Judge Martin Picton told the yob he nearly jailed him for life under a public protection sentence.

He said: ‘This was a very serious offence. You committed a grave robbery when armed with a knife, causing terror to your victims.

‘Wielding a knife like that created an obvious risk that someone could be badly injured.

‘If you ever commit an offence like this again in the future that will be it; it will be a public protection sentence.’

Balaclava-clad Bowen burst into the shop in Whaddon, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, on May 28 before staging the brutal raid.

He was arrested after police found him hiding at a nearby house.

Bowen ordered staff Philip Clements and Jemma Giesdorf to open the safe and fill a plastic box with cash.

The court heard that Miss Giesdorf has been left so traumatised by the robbery she refused to work without a security guard.

Bowen has previously absconded from children’s homes all over the country, including the top-security Aycliffe home in County Durham where he got into trouble for assaulting staff.

In 1996 he got his second custodial sentence in two months for a 3am burglary at the Cheltenham home of a 100-year-old woman.

He stole her jewellery box and £40 and got just three months after his barrister pleaded with the judge: ‘He is only just 16 and it is far too early to give up on this young man.’

Aged 19, he was jailed for burgling the homes of two elderly women and was told by the judge: ‘You have a dreadful record and nothing seems to have stopped you so far.

‘Your own hardships are no excuse for burgling other people.’

In May, Bowen admitted threatening to kill police officers and their children after he stole alcohol and threatened staff at a Cheltenham supermarket.

He was jailed for a week for a similar offence last October.

In July 2005, he was jailed for a year for harassing a former girlfriend by bombarding her with 800 text messages.

Bowen’s younger brother, Clinton, was dubbed ‘Canal Boat boy’ after he was given a supervision order with a ‘specified activity’ - a three-month cruise with an organisation called Care Afloat, costing £1,100 a week.

Right.  First we kill the lawyers!

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.

image

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.

Post Traumatic Stress is diagnosed far too liberally, claims trauma expert .

Brilliant.

Ordinary laymen, and ladies too, have guessed that for a long time.  Now comes the dawn? Better late then never but the question is, will anyone listen?


Post Traumatic Stress Disorder has become a “fashionable diagnosis” that is far too liberally diagnosed, according claims a trauma expert who treated victims of the King’s Cross Tube fire.

By Richard Alleyne, Science Correspondent
27 Jul 2009
The Telegraph

Dr James Thompson, a trauma psychologist, made the comments on BBC’s Panorama programme investigating the growing army of sufferers.

The programme claims that the NHS now treats an estimated 220,000 people a year suffering with post-traumatic stress disorder, a diagnosis once reserved for those coming back from war zones.

The disorder is adding enormously to the burgeoning multibillion personal accident industry business, it said.

Those being diagnosed include people who have had a minor traffic accident, bullying in the workplace, even in the schoolyard.

In the programme, titled The Trauma Industry, Dr Thompson suggested it was part of the growing “victim culture”.

“It has become a fashionable diagnosis because it has the key feature that is about what the world did to you,” he told the programme.

“And that is always attractive to all of us. Now you can teach yourself PTSD on the internet within five minutes.”

Soldiers, policemen, ambulance workers and firemen are among those most likely to end up suffering from PTSD, along with members of the public who are attacked, involved in a car crash or affected by a disaster.

Victims of the disorder, which may emerge months or even years after a traumatic experience, may find themselves suffering from flashbacks and nightmares, disturbed sleep, aggressive behaviour, an inability to concentrate and a tendency to panic easily.

After the 1987 King’s Cross tube fire, in which 31 people died, mental health professionals drew up a list of 670 people who were at risk from PTSD, of whom only 100 had been directly involved. The rest were emergency staff and railway officials who had witnessed horrific scenes in the burning station as well as relatives of those who died.
