NYT: All the News that is Fit to Alter
*** begin quote ***
By many accounts, on Saturday, Occupy Wall Street marching protesters were led onto the Brooklyn Bridge by NYPD, giving many protesters the impression that the police had no problem with the march, and, indeed,that the police were only standing by to insure the march was peaceful. However, once on the bridge, the NYPD kettled the protesters and eventually arrested 700.
*** end quote ***
It’s a great graphic to demonstrate the “update”!

Why do we have the BATF at all? “Fast and furious” is merely the latest in an ongoing litany of Gooferment abuse.

LIBERTY: BHO44 orders the murder of an American citizen

*** begin quote ***
The Nation II: Anwar al Awlaki, an American citizen and Muslim cleric, was assassinated IN YEMEN by a CIA drone. Barack Obama personally ordered this murder. Three others were killed in the attack. Awlaki was afforded no due process as any American citizen deserves. No effort to arrest this man was made. Barry became this man’s judge, jury and executioner. Children, can you count all the ways that this is wrong? Last time I checked, ordering a hit on another person is First Degree Murder. But I guess when you’re in the DC government, it’s OK. By the way, just exactly when is it OK for military personnel to disobey an unlawful order? If this incident doesn’t qualify, nothing does. Are there any Oath Keepers in the military?
*** end quote ***
Where does it stop?
This President was elected whining about “fair trials”.
I guess low approval ratings have to be counteracted in some fashion.
This is another sad day for the “American Experiment”.

INTERESTING: The Death Penalty … from a foreign pov
Sunday, October 2, 2011Former Irish death row worker calls for death penalty to be abolished
Having worked for a summer along death row inmates he sees no benefit to the death penalty
ByMOLLY MULDOON,Irish Voice Reporter
Published Friday, September 23, 2011, 8:27 AMUpdated Friday, September 23, 2011, 11:42 AM
*** begin quote ***
A young Irishman who spent the summer working alongside death row inmates in Austin, Texas tells IrishCentral.com why he thinks the death penalty should be abolished.
When most Irish students contemplate a summer internship in the US, they don’t expect to find themselves face to face with convicted serial killers and rapists. But that is exactly where Dannie Hanna, a young man from Ennis Co. Clare ended up this past August while doing pro bono work for death row inmates in Austin, Texas.
*** and ***
“Finally, from a justice perspective, the system in which the death verdict is given is nothing short of disgraceful – from the provision of ineffective legal counsel on behalf of state appointed lawyers, to the pedantic nature of some members of the Texas judiciary,” Dannie said.
*** and ***
“All we are doing is creating another victim from this atrocity. I thus would believe that life without parole is an appropriate sentence,” the Clare man said.
*** end quote ***
I don’t know that there is ALWAYS “reasonable doubt”.
But I do think that the Gooferment killing citizens, guests, or even “illegal aliens” is immoral, ineffective, and inefficient.
We KNOW that there have been many mistakes in death penalty cases (i.e., Project Innocence). So since we can’t raise the dead, I think we should NOT have a “death penalty”.
That being said, “death penalty” inmates are potentially very dangerous — it’d be like keeping a cobra as a pet — so maybe we need a confinement method that would be safe for the guards.
Maybe the “death penalty” is reserved for those convicts who are just too dangerous to keep in confinement. Perhaps the only way to know that is if they cause a second death after being convicted of a first one.

SERVICE: FACEBOOK had a wierd one
Saturday, October 1, 2011*** begin quote ***
Facebook account is displaying random ascii symbols instead of English words: “4dd pixors / v!dz.” instead of “Add photos / videos”, and “P057” instead of “POST”, for example. Happens on every machine including iPad and in all browsers. Anyone have a clue what could be going on?
*** end quote ***
is there a language setting in facebook?
# – # – #
That was it – the language setting had somehow been changed to LeetSpeak. Thanks!
# – # – #
It was really just a strictly wild <synonym for donkey> guess. I didn’t even know that Facebook had language settings. Please pass along my “thank you”.
