Mayor, chief seek gun restrictions BY AARONS ANDERFORD / Lincoln Journal Star and NATE JENKINS If Lincoln's mayor and police chief get their way, more criminals could be arrested for carrying guns, and others could find it harder to sell potentially stolen goods. Mayor Don Wesely and Police Chief Tom Casady offered three potential ordinances Thursday. They plan to bring the proposals to the City Council in March. The proposals will ask the council to enact the following changes: • Prohibit people convicted of theft or a theft-related crimes twice over the last 10 years from selling or trading property...

<p>1 Sam 30:18-20, "And David recovered all that the (1) Amalekites had carried away: And there was nothing lacking to them, (2) neither small nor great, (3) neither sons nor daughters, (4) neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them: David recovered all. And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drave before those other cattle, and said, This is David's spoil."</p> <p>Prov.18:19 A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.</p>

Many of you may remember a thread posted in November, "Missing Adult, Help Needed, Crime in Progress?" It was a plea for help from the sister of Alice Donovan, 44, of Galivants Ferry, S.C. who was kidnapped and her car stolen from a Walmart parking lot by two escaped convicts. It was originally posted by Alice's sister on Timebomb 2000 and then posted here just hours after it happened, before LE was involved and days before the media picked up the story. The thread began as one of prayers and hope and trying to get information, to one of sadness...

This is the first time I've started a thread, (after 2+ years here) but I'm proud to do it and hope I don't mess it up.

Hey, praying folks.In college and thereafter, I had a good friend named Kevin, a heck of a guy. In the early part of our marriage, my wife and I went through a 12-stepprogram (one of the faithful ones, where everybody calls Christ their "higher power"), dealt with a lot of junk from our pasts, and are today close as peas in a pod, praise God. However, in the thick of our battling, my now out-of-town buddy Kevin stopped calling. I later found out that he was frustrated with the relationship between my wife and I, and chose to withdraw. Kev...

Hi everyone - we just got a call that my nephew is heavily addicted to various drugs and is on the verge of suicide. We are wanting to immediately drive over to where he works and talk with him. We know he purchased a gun and we want to get the keys to his apartment and take the gun from there. We are looking for information on the Internet on the best steps to take in our situation. We feel the gun issue is pretty cut-and-dried but we're not sure he's willing to work with us. We're looking for any...

Iran 'could help US topple Saddam' Iran might help the United States topple Saddam Hussein despite years of mutual antagonism between the two countries. Iranian diplomats are in talks with their American counterparts to provide support in military emergencies such as pilots shot down or naval accidents in the Persian Gulf. The Pentagon says "preliminary feelers" between the two countries were underway through Arab intermediaries. Iran has also allowed a group of dissident Iraqi Shiite Muslims, now based in Tehran, to work with America to help overthrow Saddam, diplomats told USA Today. The negotiations could provide a major strategic boost...

Trying to navagate through all of the offers and claims of those who build and host web sites ..... I'm lost in the weeds.

I just found out that Bill Clinton will visit Pine Bluff this Sunday (11/03) in a repeat effort to get the illegals, non-registered voters and dead to vote a straight democRAT ticket.We don't have much time to get FReepers together to FReep the creep!This is from the Arkansas board:"Looks like we finally have the opportunity to FReep the creep!

'Help bring these evil bastards to justice' By Sandra Laville and John Steele (Filed: 18/10/2002) In the depths of her grief, a mother yesterday condemned the "evil bastards" who had robbed her of a fun-loving and precious daughter in the Bali bombing. After four days of silence, Andrea Shearman learned from the police on Wednesday that her daughter, Emma Fox, 32, was among the dead who are filling the Sanglah hospital. Speaking from her home in Pinner, north London, Mrs Shearman said she wanted the lives of the perpetrators "extinguished". "Let the world know what these bastards have done," she...

For reasons I truly not do understand, a number of threads I posted to tonight to got pulled from News / Activision. Now, that's okay. It isn't my board. As far as I'm concerned, J&J can run it however they want. I would, however, like to know what the rules are. It is very annoying to spend fifteen minutes writing what you think will be an accepable post, only to go back and find that the entire thread has been yanked. There was *nothing* about any of those (the threads) that I thought was least bit objectionable. They were on...

Last year during the Klamath Falls fiasco created by the environmentalists over the legal authority by which the federal government was withholding water from the farmers – to protect the bottom-feeding sucker fish, which is said to be endangered or threatened, and the ensuing movement spearheaded by Jeff Head to get the water flowing to the farmers again, I longed to join the Bucket Brigade, the Shovel Brigade and just plain FReepers who were there. It really hit me when I read about the lack of sanitary facilities for our FReepers. I thought how great it would be if I...
