cops and robbers .. latest score. txpayer 0, bad guys 2

A couple of item caught my old eyes. Both disturbing.

She’s never out of the spotlight and I can never see Jane Fonda without seeing red at the same time. I don’t know if I should continue to be angry at her, or the system that continues to reward treason. Both I guess but lets face it.  She isn’t gonna hide away in the dark someplace as long as she’s welcomed like royalty.

There was a very famous actor in his day, and I believe it was Lew Ayres I’m thinking about. It is. I checked. Anyway, he was anti war, he just didn’t believe he was capable of killing anyone and so in WW2, he joined the the Army Medical Corps and served in the Pacific theater. So he did serve his country, he did help to save lives and did not go over to the other side and smile for cameras posing on guns shooting at Americans.
If Fonda was all that moral (and she never was) she could have volunteered to train as a nurse and help save lives. Oh wait, that was another generation.
So anyway, this is what happens to me every time I see her.  After WW2, Axis Sally and Tokyo Rose spent time in jail for making radio broadcasts for the enemy.
Jane poses with enemy troops all smiles and gets more work in movies, modeling and recently as cover girl for Loreal ( L’Oreal) cosmetics.

The other thing that caught my ever roving eye was the following loony tune decisions by courts with regard to a couple of criminals. It just defies reason and logic how judges and lawyers and the establishment in genera, can expect the populace to feel good about their legal system, much less hold it in respect.
How can one possibly respect any system anywhere that comes up with these judgments. 

In one case, a burglar with a very long record has escaped jail because he “suffers” “an obsession with cleanliness” the result of obsessive compulsive disorder.

Take a look.

Burglar with a cleanliness obsession is spared jail… because he’d find it too dirty
By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

He’s got a string of previous convictions as long as your arm. But crime isn’t Nathan Cassidy’s only compulsion.
The serial burglar has an obsession with cleanliness – and that condition has helped keep him out of prison.

The 20-year-old was allowed to walk free from court after he told a judge he would find jail ‘too traumatic’ because of his obsessive compulsive disorder.
Cassidy smashed his way into an elderly couple’s home while they were sleeping and stole a handbag containing £105.

The thief, who has 14 previous convictions for 29 crimes, committed the burglary while on a suspended sentence for robbery and handling stolen goods.
However, he avoided jail by convincing Cambridge Crown Court he would not be able to cope with life behind bars because he is obsessed with cleanliness.
Instead Judge Gareth Hawkesworth handed Cassidy, of Cambridge, a 12-month sentence in a young offenders’ institution, suspended for two years.
He was also placed under a two-year supervision order and ordered to undergo mental health treatment.

Judge Hawkesworth said: ‘It’s clear to me from the psychological report you have a raft of psychological problems that need addressing.’
Mark McDonald, defending Cassidy, told the court his client was not a normal prisoner because of his problems with OCD.
He said: ‘Because of psychological problems, including obsessive compulsive disorder in relation to cleanliness, custody would have a very traumatic effect on him – more so than it would on the average prisoner.’

He had accomplices on this latest venture who were also arrested. Like our main actor in this bad play, they too had records and in fact, one had breached a curfew order for the same things and another had 23 burglaries on his record BUT ..

While all three did plead guilty to burglary, not one admitted going inside the old couple’s house.  ??

I’m not a lawyer and perhaps it all depends on what you mean by “burglary.”

Think that’s bad enough?  Oh wait. You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.  READ THIS ONE

Robber spared deportation because he has a girlfriend

Immigration judges have allowed a convicted robber to stay in Britain simply because he has a girlfriend in this country.

By David Barrett, Home Affairs Correspondent

The Sri Lankan was jailed for 15 months but fought off an official attempt to deport him to his homeland because he said his human right to a “private and family life” was not being respected as he was going out with a woman here.

The case will increase concerns over the ease with which foreign criminals use human rights legislation to stay in Britain – an issue highlighted by The Sunday Telegraph’s “End The Human Rights Farce” campaign.

Only the sketchiest details of the case were released by judges because of a policy which claims that naming foreign criminals who get to stay in Britain would put them at “potential risk” – a move condemned as a betrayal of open justice by politicians.

The unnamed man had first come to Britain, aged 13, in 2001, failed to gain asylum but was given exceptional leave to remain before he committed the robbery, of which no details have been published by the immigration tribunal system.

As well as refusing to name the criminal, the tribunal kept secret all details of the crime, where he lives in the United Kingdom and exactly how he reached this country.

The 22-year-old was convicted of robbery in December 2008, sentenced to 15 months in prison, and served with a deportation order by the Home Office.
He then fought an 11-month legal battle to be allowed to stay, first taking his case to an asylum and immigration panel, which backed him.
When the Home Office appealed he hired a high-flying barrister who had previously worked at the European Court of Human Rights.

The barrister, Claire Physsas, successfully argued that because he had a girlfriend in Britain, he had “established a private and family life”.

Judge Christopher Hanson said that even though the 22-year-old and his girlfriend of five years were no more than a “courting couple” he should stay in the country – and rejected a claim by the Home Office that because their relationship was “at some distance” it did not amount to private and family life.

In his written judgment, Judge Hanson conceded that the existence of a girlfriend did not amount to having a family, but ruled that the relationship, on top of “social ties” in Britain, meant that the robber had a “private life” which entitled him to stay in Britain.

Experts described the latest case as “absurd” and said it amounted to a “grotesque misuse” of the Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, while politicians warned that giving anonymity to criminals struck at the heart of the principle of open justice.

Meanwhile .... Call Me Dave (Cameron), the Brit PM, is still insisting that civilians MUST be secure and protected (in other countries but not here) to which end he is spending millions.  Meanwhile, there are spending cuts which include the police who in one or two jurisdictions, have invited cops who were laid off to come back and volunteer to work for free.  Great system in place here innit?
And I’d be willing to bet it’s only marginally better stateside, cos the loons on the left have been busy undermining our system for years and years.

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

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

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