News & Events - January 2007

First of all let me start off with the facts so you don't get it twisted.
1. The tape off him getting beat down was edited down from the original version.
2. In the full version you see rodney king running at the police before he gets taken down.
3. He was spray with pepper spray " TWICE " and still kept coming.
4. The police thought he was on PCP so they used extra force.
(I would have two I mean pepper spray twice?)
5.Even If you pay attention to the tape where he's getting beat down its not like he's lying flat on his face HE'S STILL TRYING TO GET UP.
6. He was aquitted the jury saw the FULL VERSION of the tape and took into account the officers testimony's.
*Rodney King should have got his *** beat hands down. Honestly if I was the cop I might have shot him.I mean damn its not like he was following directions.THE MEDIA caused the LA RIOTS period.They saw this edited tape that didn't give the complete story the JURY aquit cuz they got the complete story then the Riot happn

Bear with me, I am not against capital punishment. These people are definitely engaged in some very harsh crimes in their lifetimes against humanity. But does this really seem the time and place to do these hangings? It doesn't feel right..to this heart of mine. Democratic revolutions are supposed to inspire patriotism, romanticism, freedom of the people. A bloody one, like the one the French tried to have and the subsequent use of guillotines. That one didn't work out too well.

I am disappointed because I was looking on YouTube and I cannot find the hanging video of Saddam's half brother Barzan al-Tikriti .. Does anyone have a link to where I can watch it?

I hope they did a better job with this video, the Saddam one was kind of shaky.

Burns: Some men hunt for sport,
Others hunt for food,
The only thing I'm hunting for,
Is an outfit that looks good...

See my vest, see my vest,
Made from real gorilla chest,
Feel this sweater, there's no better,
Than authentic Irish setter.

See this hat, 'twas my cat,
My evening wear - vampire bat,
These white slippers are albino
African endangered rhino.

Grizzly bear underwear,
Turtles' necks, I've got my share,
Beret of poodle, on my noodle
It shall rest,

Try my red robin suit,
It comes one breast or two,
See my vest, see my vest,
See my vest.

Like my loafers? Former gophers -
It was that or skin my chauffeurs,
But a greyhound fur tuxedo
Would be best,

So let's prepare these dogs,
Mrs. Potts: Kill two for matching clogs,
Burns: See my vest, see my vest,
Oh please, won't you see my vest.
I really like the vest.

Smithers: I gathered that, sir.

I think the family knew, and they didn't say anything.

Because the family lived so close to Devlin, they surely must have visited. When they visited, they would have seen Shawn.

If the family is involved, I hope they suffer also.

Just came back from a meeting at a Victoria homeless night shelter. Our city's business association reneged on the $60k they said they'd pay for heating etc; now they're paying zip. Yeah, those business owners, like you and me, have warm beds to go to tonight.

Meanwhile, just got an email: Victoria's Native Friendship Centre has finally run out of food.

Our perfect little town, a third of a million people, has over 500 people sleeping in the subzero snow tonight. What the hell is going on?

Why do business owners and governments say they'll help, but when push comes to shove, offer nothing? B.C.'s Liberals may be worse than the NDP. Do both parties really think that homeless people don't matter because they don't bring in votes?

Why have you, I and our governments allowed the rich to get so much richer? Why don't we and our governments get it that each of us -- ever so easily, just a bit of bad luck -- could end up on the street?

The poor are poor because the rich are rich.

lover but he didn't do it. He was sentenced to jail for life and with his own ingenuity he broke out of prison and fled to Mexico to live free. O.J. Simpson was a wealthy (former) sports athlete who (many say) did kill his wife and Ron Goldman (possible a lover). O.J. was not convicted of this crime and went on to live as a free man. Do you see any paradox in this?

How do I write a news editorial?

I have to write one for a school project and I'm a little confused on what to put in it.

Is it like a news article with opinions or more opinions than facts?

I'm looking into going into journalism & don't know what I want to do. Right now I'm a sophomore in highschool & this is my first year working for a school publication. I've already written for a top newspaper (my highschool & dallas morning news) I don't really want to work at a newspaper, though. I've been interested in writing for a music or sports magazine. Any idea what degree I might need?
