eCat's anti-Jew rants are legendary....

I don't see how they can charge Hinkley Jr. with murder of Brady 33 years later. If Hinkley got away with being insane for shooting Ronnie what changes? He was 73? People usually start dying about then anyway.

They could charge him but they wont because they wont be able to convict. You could write a book on all the evidence to show how messed up Hinkley was. His phone calls to Jodie Foster (the "motive" of his assassination attempt) would be introduced as evidence as to his mental state at the time of the shooting.

Insanity would never be accepted as a defense if somebody murdered you...

Especially after I ass banged that MYF.

I was hoping for a sane opinion.

Fair enough. But there was (and is) nothing sane about Hinkley.

Jodie Foster got so sick and tired of his phone stalking her at Stanford that she called the police and put and had them trace all the calls. Sure enough, whey that dumb shit called again, they got his whole manifesto on tape. Shame on law enforcement in 1981 for not having him committed to an insane asylum them. Brady might still be alive today.

Shouldn't someone tell the family this guy lost the case...

Technically, the DA lost the Martin case. That dude still has civil shit still in the court system.

I think the parents know they lost (as most police shooting victims do) and are preparing for civil.

I don't understand the police holding back information on the Missouri case. All that does it make it seem as though the police is hiding information. If the situation were reversed, I doubt seriously that information would not be already out there.

[sardis]

I am pretty sure the town's attorneys are dictating the situation. They already have one lawsuit, probably trying to avoid another.

[aTm]

The police are at war with the citizens. can't you tell by their gear?

That shit is fucked up. Both links -- the militarized cops scare the shit out of me, especially considering the morons with chips on their shoulders that become cops nowadays. Every meathead who wanted to be a star athlete but wasn't and couldn't cut it in the classroom is now carrying a gun and a badge in my hometown.

The Anonymous hackers who can reveal whatever they want about your personal life from the safe distance and insulation of cyberspace is equally frightening - especially now that they feel the empowerment that they were unable to gain while getting stuffed in lockers and receiving swirlies between mocking rejections of their clumsy sexual advances at girls that were out of their league.

[Jungle Rat]

Yep. Your entire county is full of Douchebag cops.

[Bluecat]

I think you misspelled country

Law and order uber alles...

Reading this has turned me more towards eCat's position on Snowden. I held a "fuck the traitor" line for so long, I'm not used to thinking of reversing course after so much time has passed...

On Ferguson

Nothing that happened in Ferguson, Missouri, on the fourth night since Michael Brown died at the hands of a police officer there, dispelled the notion that this is a place where law enforcement is capable of gross overreaction. Just after sundown on Wednesday, local and state officers filled West Florissant Avenue, the main thoroughfare, with massive clouds of tear gas. They lobbed flash grenades at protesters who were gathered there to demand answers, and, at times, just propelled them down the street. That they ordered the crowd to disperse was not noteworthy. That the order was followed by successive waves of gas, hours after the protests ended, became an object lesson in the issues that brought people into the streets in the first place. Two journalists, Wesley Lowery, of the Washington Post, and Ryan Reilly, of the Huffington Post, and a St. Louis Alderman, Antonio French, were arrested. (The journalists were let go without charges; the alderman, as his wife told reporters, was released after being charged with unlawful assembly.) What transpired in the streets appeared to be a kind of municipal version of shock and awe; the first wave of flash grenades and tear gas had played as a prelude to the appearance of an unusually large armored vehicle, carrying a military-style rifle mounted on a tripod. The message of all of this was something beyond the mere maintenance of law and order: it’s difficult to imagine how armored officers with what looked like a mobile military sniper’s nest could quell the anxieties of a community outraged by allegations regarding the excessive use of force. It revealed itself as a raw matter of public intimidation.
