Once, twice . . . what's a postman or two among friends? < g >
I used to subscribe; I'm not sure that's were I heard about it. You are correct, PC seems to have ruin the tone and joy of Amer. Hert. This case caught my interest in part because the Schneiders (I think that's the correct spelling) lived in Queens Village (a section of easternmost Queens) and I grew up in Queens, in fact I dated and had a wicked high school crush on a girl from QV. (Her father was a tall, very Irish NYC police LT. Probably the only girl's father who ever intimidated me.)
Considering the fact that she is supposed to be 31...and you look at the picture...I'd be guessing she does meth. Wanna bet?
Nah, that's a dead giveaway.
LOL! My husband specializes in intimidating my daughter's dates . . . he's 6'6", 240# (give or take a cheeseburger), Army officer, sport shooter. Firm handshake, narrow gray eyes. It's "Yessir. Nossir. Yessir. On time, sir."
Just wait until Jesse the Jack@$$ and Mike the Ferret come down to save them.
Good response. I am still not persuaded, but you make a strong case. The only real, arguable disagreement I have is the statement that we issue them weapons to "protect" us. The courts and the police themselves, as well as common sense, tell us that they cannot protect us, and the courts tell us that this is not their mission, except secondarily and indirectly. Weapons are issued for police to protect themselves in the performance of their duties.
I am her step brother. What she did is horrible and our entire family feels much more emotion for the loss of Mr.
Morgan. Jennifer does not have fetal alcohol syndrome. She was actually raised in a good home with respectable parents. Her father was a sheriffs deputy in Utah.
However, I show no compassion for her because of what she did. She will be put to death because she deserves to be.
Not CA. Arnold doesn't allow inmates to smoke tobacco anymore.
I think you're selling the folks around here a little short. The DA will seek the death penalty, and the people will find her guilty and sentence her to death. It's a matter of the Corrections folks giving her the needle. She'll get appeal, after appeal, after appeal.
The Soviets - and I don't know it still holds under the Russians - and what I thought was a good setup. If found guilty of a capital crime, the case went automatically to a special Supreme Court of appeals that only reviewed capital cases. It was a very short turn-around time and once found guilty, the prisoner was taken to the courtyard of the prison, and executed.
What the heck!
You kill someone= death penalty.
Helloooo!
No, I am Spartacus!
How fantastically dim must she be, if that possible consequence never crossed her mind?
Uh-oh, the Stupidity Defense . . .
Burn em both.
"But don't we all get one free murder?"
Well, Diplexer, as a resident of the area that your step-sister is now incarcerated in - if what you say is true, and you are her step-brother - I hope you don't mind, but folks around here want to see your step-sister die.
I hope you're right. The fact that she's female and her boyfriend hollered at her to shoot the prison guard, makes me think that murder won't be sought. Manslaughter. Or murder with no death penalty.
How could that happen? Aren't there always people around?!?
