This commentary made by the judge is very profound.

Subject: Judge William Young
>>
>> Remember the guy who got on a plane with a bomb built into his shoe
> and
>> tried to light it?
>>
>> Did you know that his trial is over?
>>
>> Did you know he was sentenced?
>>
>> Did you see/hear any of the judge's remarks on TV or radio?
>>
>> Didn't think so.
>>
>> Everyone should hear what the judge had to say.
>>
>> _____
>>
>>
>>
>> Ruling by Judge William Young, US District Court.
>>
>>
>> Prior to sentencing, the Judge asked the defendant if he had anything
> to
>> say.
>>
>> His response: After admitting his guilt to the court for the record,
>> Reid
>> also admitted his "allegiance to Osama bin Laden, to Islam, and to the
>> religion of Allah," defiantly stated "I think I will not apologize for
>> my
>> actions," and told the court "I am at war with your country."
>>
>> Judge Young then delivered the statement quoted below:
>>
>> January 30, 2003, United States vs. Reid. Judge Young:
>>
>> "Mr. Richard C. Reid, hearken now to the sentence the Court imposes
> upon
>> you.
>>
>> On counts 1, 5 and 6 the Court sentences you to life in prison in the
>> custody of the United States Attorney General. On counts 2, 3, 4 and
> 7,
>> the
>> Court sentences you to 20 years in prison on each count, the sentence
> on
>> each count to run consecutive with the other.
>>
>> That's 80 years. On count 8 the Court sentences you to the mandatory
> 30
>> years consecutive to the 80 years just imposed. The Court impo ses
> upon
>> you
>> each of the eight counts a fine of $250,000 for the aggregate fine of
> $2
>> million. The Court accepts the government's recommendation with
> respect
>> to
>> restitution and orders restitution in the amount of $298..17 to Andre
>> Bousquet and $5,784 to American Airlines. The Court imposes upon you
> the
>> $800 special assessment.
>>
>> The Court imposes upon you five years supervised release simply
> because
>> the
>> law requires it. But the life sentences are real life sentences so I
>> need go
>> no further. This is the sentence that is provided for by our statutes.
>> It is
>> a fair and just sentence. It is a righteous sentence.
>>
>> Let me explain this to you. We are not afraid of you or any of your
>> terrorist co-conspirators, Mr. Reid. We are Americans. We have been
>> through
>> the fire before. There is all too much war talk here and I say that to
>> everyone with the utmost respect. Here in this court, we deal with
>> individuals as individuals and care for individuals as individuals.
>>
>> As human beings, we reach out for justice.
>>
>> < B>You are not an enemy combatant. You are a terrorist. You are not a
>> soldier in any war. You are a terrorist. To give you that reference,
> to
>> call
>> you a soldier, gives you far too much stature. Whether it is the
>> officers of
>> government who do it or your attorney who does it, or if you think you
>> are a
>> soldier. You are not----- you are a terrorist. And we do not negotiate
>> with
>> terrorists. We do not meet with terrorists. We do not sign documents
>> with
>> terrorists. We hunt them down one by one and bring them to justice.
>>
>> So war talk is way out of line in this court. You are a big fellow.
> But
>> you
>> are not that big. You're no warrior. I've known warriors.
>>
>> You are a terrorist. A species of criminal that is guilty of multiple
>> attempted murders. In a very real sense, State Trooper Santiago had it
>> right
>> when you first were taken off that plane and into custody and you
>> wondered
>> where the press and where the TV crews were, and he said: "You're no
> big
>> deal."
>>
>> You are no big deal.
>>
>> What your able counsel and what the equally able United States
> attorneys
>> have grappled with and what I have as honestly as I know how tried to
>> grapple with, is why you did something so horrific. What was it that
> led
>> you
>> here to this courtroom today?
>>
>> I have listened respectfully to what you have to say. And I ask you to
>> search your heart and ask yourself what sort of unfathomable hate led
>> you to
>> do what you are guilty and admit you are guilty of doing. And I have
> an
>> answer for you. It may not satisfy you, but as I search this entire
>> record,
>> it comes as close to understanding as I know.
>>
>> It seems to me you hate the one thing that to us is most precious.
>>
>> You hate our freedom. Our individual freedom. Our individual freedom

I just discovered this and think it would be a great start against taxation without representation.

You know, that whole thing that pushed us for independence? Yeah, its happening again, dammit! lol.

South Africa has a crime problem Murder, rape( including infants they beleve that sex with an infant cures AIDS), theft, hijacking, mugging and all the rest. Criminals are put in jail (maybe overcrowded) fed, clothed, TV, gym, health care, etc,
On the street a lot of them live out of garbage cans their lot improves so it is no hardship to be arrested I thing a lot of them turn initialy to crime for this reason.
The only way to stop this crime wave is to punish
Bring back the death penalty for murder
Bring back the cane for violent crime
Establish work farms so that the criminals can provide the bulk of the food for prisons, we certainly have the land requirements Teach them basic trades and use them to maintain prison buildings and services.
Why should the tax payer be burdened with taxes to support those who commit crimes against them

Who do you think would win in a fight between a trash can and a badger? Not a metal trash can, one of those good rubbermaid trash cans.

According to the employment law on implied terms (also see Moores v Bude
Stratton Town Council (2000) IRLR 676) they are, and hence the council is
responsible for their behavoir, however there is no employment
contract. I want to know if the council are responsible for their councillors actions, the councillors are bound (constitution, behavoir rules etc) and receive
remuneration so presumably implied terms are created, hence they are effectively
"employees".

Does anyone know any case law etc

Many thanks

To know that in a few more generations the white race will cease to exsist , to know our great-great-great grandchildren will be nothing more than a mixed , mulato , mongrel , bastard excuse for a humanoid , a mutt culture that is doomed to its own hell of never belonging anywhere , without a bloodline to grasp onto , without a pride for their own race and people , a drooling , an oil and watered version of a person , how shameful it will be when they are asked , "Whats your heritage?" and they must answer , "Well my g-g-g granfather was a blonde haired , blue eyed , proud Aryan , but im a african-mexican-jewish-iraqi-puerto rican-french-italian-japenese-american".

Don't you find it amazing when a dems votes on the opposite side, suddenly that person is hated. Koooo Bananas stated that Mrs.Clinton voted for a republican in the state of Illinois if i am correct. Liberman supports President Bush and he is a dem. You want to know why clinton and Liberman are doing this. Do you think that maybe they are starting to see the serious flaws the Democratic party has and they know that unless the DNC corrects their crap and stop embarrassing one another, then the democratic party stands no chance in winning the 08 election year?
