And I thought Canadian cops were not like there American Cops,
but I was wrong. 50,000 volts for What? This man clearly does not speak english, has no weapon, and is posing no threat as far as the eye can see, there are at least 4 cops in this picture. so why the Taser? Murder pure and simple. The last moments of a innocent mans life. And no he was not on drugs..

Recently, I answered a question asking people what they thought should happen to a teacher who had sex with and kidnapped a 13-year-old illegal alien. The question has been deleted, but I was appalled to see that most people who answered seemed to think what the teacher did was justified because her victim was an illegal alien! Do you really think that crimes are justified when committed against illegal aliens? If so, are they justified when the victims are guilty of other crimes?

The "law" that I've been paying taxes for over 50 years turned against us recently as a detective came to my friends home with extremely lewd and obnoxiously explicit allegations from this female friends stepson. Why can't the detective see through the lies he told? Don't they do a thing to protect innocent people anymore?
Now, the friend has to hire an expensive criminal attorney, as the person causing all the trouble allegedly was interviewed by this detective. The lies were so "Jerry Springer" that they made the father of this child practically laugh in the detectives face.
Meanwhile, I'm being harrassed by local law enforcement with 180 turnabouts and close surveillience as I drive through the town doing volunteer work.
I feel like something real wrong has happened to America when liars are allowed to abuse the system and waste taxpayers money in such incompetence.
Are we doing enough? Can we file harassment charges? Isn't it criminal to file false police reports?

to me its pretty simple.....we have immensely powerful weapon, nukes, that we don't want other radical countries to have....if talks and sanctions go nowhere....why not just bomb them before they get the nukes?
comments to hippies:
yes, i know other countries like russia, china, india have nukes too but they also have something to lose (which is their country, economy, population etc)....iran on the other hand is radical and controlled not by a system but rather few radical leaders who can do any thing to black mail other countries if they have nukes.
i am not too concerned about Iran using the nukes (if they acquire it) but just the idea of Iran threating Israel, Iraq and other countries to get what they want.
its pretty simple....like the game of poker....if the losing person has few chips, he/she wouldn't hesitate to go 'all in' compared to a person who is on the top of the board.
why let iran have the bomb...lets bomb it before we worsen the situation by electing hippies for 09.

Our legal system is designed to be fair and to remain honorable. that was the intent of law. I seriously cant see human sacrifice, as justice. thats what capital punishment entails, you will always have a multitiude of innocents executed. over 160 death row inmates have been proven inoocent. so how many have we killed so far. Yes you have to provide justice and care about the victims and families of the but they have no right or voucher to a human life< thats not justice, If I went to walmart and screamed out slurs against colored people is it right that colored people can pick any random white person walking the street and blame them for it? I mean this is really is coming down to for some cases. I cant b e convinced that the death penalty is fair. Its deseigned to harm a human being and quick self assurance, not justice. Fact supporting the death penalty is supporting the possibility of killing innocents. where is the justice for the innocencts accused?

I think social security is stupid. I dont want the Govt taking away like 10% of my paycheck, just so I can get it back when im 65. For one they are not going to pay me as much money as they took away, and secondly I could be doing much better things with this money. Im an investor and would greatly appreciate that extra money each paycheck to put into stocks. Yet they find it necessary to take it from me so I can be protected when im 65.

Ive got a better idea. How about educate the young citizens of America (like myself, im 15) how to save money, and teach us the value of money and how to make it work for us (stocks, mutual funds, CD's, etc.) so we can retire comfortably??

Am i the only one who feels this way, and am i wrong? If so please point it out to me without being an ***.

My property contains about an acre of federally protected wetland. This wetland borders a road. The neighbors on that road like to dump their driveway sweepings, leaves and other yard rubbish into the wetlands. Other than posting no trespassing signs, is there anything I can do? I prefer not to confront them directly, because I really do not want to be on bad terms with my neighbors.

I would NEVER even think of using their property as a garbage bag, so why should I let them treat mine as such?

Or do you think I'm over-territorial (like my husband does) and I should just let it go?

According to Morris in his book Outrage, over 9 million came here on visas in 2005 and one third or 3 million hid out in the country after the visas expired. So over a ten year period means 30,000,000 and they are from all over the world. This makes the 15 million illegals from south of the border, which could be a bogus number look small. If true then we can stop that many by stopping visas now. At least not let them fly in or what ever!

Had to laugh this morning on hearing the news that 'shock horror' the Lib's have been caught out spending up big in marginal seats prior to the last Election. As usual the party faithful 'dismiss' these findings. Take 2: in todays Herlad-Sun, the Libs are promising to spend up big installing CCTV iin 'THEIR' seats.

Why not promise to install CCTV in areas of greatest street crime instead of the leafy streets in blue ribbon Liberal seats. Oh, that's right, most areas of greatest street crime are held by Labor and encompass the growing number of below the poverty line people who are really struggling with increases in costs while trying to keep a roof over the heads of their families.
