At one point Oliver became choked with emotion talking about his friend and said he was coming forward freely even though it may expose him to reprisals.

"I just have to do what's right, not just for my friend but for everyone involved," Oliver said. "He's in hiding. His mother in law can't see her own daughter because she fears for their lives."

Sorry to you too FRiend, I suggest you read a bit further:

Hispanic (Spanish: hispano, hispánico) is a term that originally denoted a relationship to Hispania. The term Hispanic was first adopted by the United States government in the early 1970s, during the administration of Richard Nixon,[1] It has been used in the U.S. Census since 1980.[2] The term hispanic is seen as a false cognate with a limited meaning from the original historical term "hispanicus".[3] Since it was adopted by the USA government for the first time, the concept of "hispanic" has been changing along the time. Who is considered hispanic can differ from state to state or differ according to the requirements of the different organizations.[4]

Please note the dates and the entry of PC definitions in our society.

That's the symptom (empty Twitter page) that you get if you load the page with JavaScript not really off.

I tried it in both Firefox and Chrome, and I got the same behavior in both with JavaScript on and off. However, once you get past the JavaScript, the page renders better in Firefox.

You may see the cache page flash briefly first. That was the hint I needed to figure out what was happening the first time the phenomenon victimized me.

Whatever he was, he was one of the best guitarists I ever heard.

Thank you for the explanation. I’ll see if my feeble intellect can figure out what to do.

Try as I might, and believe me I tried hard, I could never play the Guitar. It unfortunately does not run in the family (

If you've never see this, it's worthwhile...conversely, I appreciate Jimmy Page almost as much.....

Another idea (which I haven't tried): Use a command-line utility, such as wget, to download the page to your hard drive. Then go through and disable any JavaScript that came along for the ride. Then you should be able to point your browser at your hard drive directory and load the page. Or you can host the page somewhere, so that it will outlast Google's cache.

I think I’ve figured it out....
Obama is a black/White when he’s campaigning, but
he’s a White/black when he offends someone.

Minority status can only be politically correct when applied to Black men and women,
and sometimes white women. Gays are trying to infiltrate this very profitable status
but so far have failed. The MSM have created this special class of people and
it will never stop, ever. Black leaders go nuts when other classes use minority so
they must be relabeled as white this, white that, in order to classify others as not worthy.
Same for White African males.

Thank you. I hope someone with more tech-wits than me can learn this. I have questions about photos on T.M.’s FB, specifcally about photos that may have been scrubbed.

‘A warning shot’? LOL! When you shoot, you shoot to kill.

Using your methods, can someone who is not registered on FB see anything or does one have to be a member?

Now he is a white Hispanic. I have been pointing out that he is as white as Obama.

I don’t really care if this guy was crying after he killed the guy. I just want there to be a fair and objective investigation. If the grand jury wants him tried, that’s fine. What I hate is all of the BS from folks that have no idea what is going on, the laws of the state, and without taking five minutes to do the simplest research.

Wget allows you to present credentials to a website, but it's a pain, as I recall. And it doesn't get you anywhere you couldn't get using a normal browser.

When I looked at his Facebook page, I was signed in with my Facebook lurker account, but it wouldn't let me see much of anything without being a 'friend'. I imagine they've either scrubbed anything interesting or moved it behind the 'friend' wall.

Thanks, maybe someone smarter than me with a FB account can check on it.

No, shoot to stop the threat. This is key. As in “I was afraid for my life, and was shooting to stop the threat. That is all I will say until my lawyer is present.”

Note that stopping the threat may indeed require emptying the firearm from your perspective.

Note: I’ve known for a year that the BHO2 administration was going to stir up a race war this coming summer. Anything that can be used to divert attention away from Obama’s atrocious record will be used. We are now getting a taste of it. If George Zimmerman is seized by a black mob and lynched, the result will not be good for BHO2 or this nation.

Actually, I think race riots are the last thing he wants. And that is why he jumped in. The best outcome for him is the Feds being able to throw Zimmerman in prison on some technicality. If Zimmerman goes scot-free (as he probably should, given the local assessment of his lack of culpability), the odds are non-zero that Rodney King style riots could ensue. And that would probably result in a GOP landslide in November, no matter who is nominated.

A Washington Insider on the Ulsterman Report stated last year that the Obama Administration was planning on using race to cause civil strife this summer during the presidential race.

Go see and read for yourself:

David Dinkins lost in 1993 to Rudy Giuliani because of the 1991 Crown Heights riots. This is the New York City that voted for Obama over McCain 70% to 30%. Black politicians get votes in part because it is expected that they will keep the (racial) peace. If they’re seen as pouring gasoline on the fire, they’re out on their butts.
