I was in the turn lane waiting on the light to change, when I a guy in his SUV hit my car from behind. We pulled over, and there was no damage, and we were both relieved and went our separate ways. I didn't think I needed to get his insurance or other information because there was no damage to either vehicles. However, I was informed that you can get in trouble for not reporting things like that. Is that true? And also, would what happened with us even be considered an accident? I ask because this is my first car and I have only had it for a week, so I really don't know what the protocol is in those situations, so I would like to know for future reference. Should you report things like this even if there is no damage? I definitely didn't want to cause trouble when there was none, and possibly cause his insurance to go up. He was just as scared as I was....

He also goes on to say how secure jews have been historically under moslem rule e.g. in Morocco as opposed to Spain.

The media seems to think he says to "kill all infidels", but I haven't seen any quote of him saying that...

My girlfriend and I have been together for two months, and yes, we are both girls. We're both fifteen years old. Her mother found out just last sunday that the two of us were together.. she didn't even know either of us was gay. Since, she's called the school and asked that I be kept away from my gf as much as possible, and has gotten teachers to request that I not help with homecoming this weekend. She now wants to move my gf to a new school, and has said she is going to get a restraining order put against me.. Can she do that if I've done nothing harassing to her? She wants to only because she thinks I turned her daughter gay.. would that be enough to have the order set?

Mexican Consulate concerned about arrests in Irving (TX)
More than 300 illegal immigrants are being deported every month from Irving because of the city’s increased scrutiny of the immigration status of people arrested, according to the city’s mayor.

The Mexican consul general has expressed concern after members of his staff found that half of all the Mexicans they interviewed in an immigration jail last Saturday were arrested in Irving. He said he suspects racial profiling.

But Irving officials said that last Saturday’s arrests were part of an effort to target apartment complexes with high crime rates, not illegal immigrants. The deportations came from the jail staff’s efforts to identify people who should be referred to federal immigration officials.

“If somebody’s arrested, it is because they have committed an arrestable offense,” Gears said. “Our police officers do not check for papers or documentation of citizenship.”

Do you really think the charges should be dropped??
I think its insane! I really do believe if the races were the other way around it would be totally different. And that makes me more than upset.
What these boys have done needs not to go unoticed, they need to pay the price just like every other america. They could have killed this poor boy and knew exactly what they were doing when they were kicking him in the head after he had already passed out. I believe they should get serious jail time expecially because most of them have past violent behavior. They all need to go to jail, no not for 22 years but some good jail time might do them some good.
