BOLINGBROOK, Ill. (AP) -
"Eighteen times in two years, Bolingbrook police were called to fellow officer Drew Peterson's home because of trouble between husband and wife. But Peterson's wife could never get authorities to arrest him. In fact, she was the only one ever charged. "

"Now residents of this Chicago suburb are wondering whether police were protecting one of their own - and whether they bear some responsibility for what happened next. "

Should this guy be hailed as a hero? Or a psychopath?

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/11/30/wuspolls330.xml

A Texas man has become a hero after he took it upon himself to shoot and kill two burglars who had broken into his neighbour's house.

Joe Horn called the police to report the burglary and then stepped outside and shot the burglars dead as they left the neighbour's house.

A recording of the call suggests Mr Horn, 61, was itching to kill the two burglars.

"Don't go outside the house," the 911 operator pleaded.

"You're going to get yourself shot if you go outside that house with a gun. I don't care what you think."

"You want to make a bet?" Horn answered.

"I'm going to kill them."

The teacher has been sentenced to 15 days.

Now, some stupid nutters are calling for her to be executed.

I have since read quite a few people on Yahoo saying we should bomb Sudan and even 'nuke em' (their terminology, not mine) thus killing hundreds, if not thousnads of innocent children, elderly, people who disgaree with their government and people who simply don;t know about the case.

Please enlighten me as to why these people who want the country bombed aren;t as crazy and as evil as the idiots marching in Sudan calling for her execution?

Does the fact that some of the Brits who are calling for this make us all evil as we come from the same country as them, or should we be distinguished from these idiots too.

It looks like the populous of Sudan wants the teacher's head. Is the UK government doing enough to protect it's citizens?

How absolutely disgusting to see these 'men' having just come out of their prayer meetings, marching, driving and ranting in the most profoundly evil, vile and abhorent way for the school teacher to be shot! What sort of prayer meetings were they then? Isn't it time that all foreign workers left that hell-hole and we all stopped sending aid to a place which supports a middle-ages repressive culture which should not exist in the 21st century. I will never give so much as a penny again to any organisation which helps people of that mind-set!

I think so. The law as it stands is very confusing and I never know whether I can have one pint, two pints, two glasses of this, one shot of that and in the end I don't have anything. What's your answer on this?

read, you think. I mean a study that isn't even really complete and is just a step away from an hypothesis could really be considered news, perhaps going along with all the other fillers when the important stories about reality are few and far between. I mean stories beyond the surfing squirrel.

for example, anyone remember the studies about cell phones causing brain tumors...

charge income tax so it can use it to pay the Federal Bank interest??

Why doesn't the Government just make it's own money since it has the power to do so and save getting into debt and avoid interest??

During thier vist to the UK, the Portugese Police will not be interviewing the McCann's or the other seven British witnesses!
The reason? the chief magistrate wants more evidence first!

How are the polce supposed to gather evidence without asking questions?

The reason being that it is less harmful that alchohol and smoking.

Make sense to you?
