Houston Crime Report

Posted on August 12, 2003 by marc

Think the death penalty in Texas is a bad thing? Read this. Still think it’s a bad thing? If so, you are terminally stupid, not to put too fine a point on it. Success for one man in a fight against crime. The line “deputies said the shooting probably will be referred to a grand…

Teens Should be Leashed

Posted on May 12, 2003 by marc

Glenbrook North High will suspend the girls behind the melee in the park and it looks like they will be expelled as well. That should be the least of it. Gads, what a bunch of losers. The worst thing about it all is that when I’m old and in a nursing home, that generation will…

Suburban Bitches From Hell

Posted on May 11, 2003 by marc

By now I’m sure everyone’s heard about the high-school girls from hell. One of the major networks was showing the home video footage of those crazy bitches fighting like gutter animals, I don’t remember which one, and it was pretty vile shit, no pun intended. Here’s a forum that opened to discuss the matter. Here’s…

Spanking = Child Abuse?

Posted on April 10, 2003 by marc

This Bryan, Texas jury seems to think so. The facts presented in the article are consistent with this finding. A six year old child is defenseless against a raging adult. Seemingly, justice was done. So what’s to say? What is disturbing about this story is the prosecuting attorney’s closing quote: “Do we want to send…

Bad Medicine

Posted on April 6, 2003 by marc

“Shuo-Shan Wang, 29, was found guilty by a jury Friday for performing a voluntary castration on another man without a license“, says CNN.com. What kind of numb-nuts, pardon my half-pun, actually wants to get neutered on some guy’s kitchen table? But perhaps the bigger questions are, given the voluntary nature of the “operation“: 1. Why…

Enough, Moore!

Posted on April 4, 2003 by marc

Did you like director Michael Moore’s rant at the Academy Awards? Did you see his movie ‘Bowling for Columbine?’ I didn’t think so. On a related note, here is the poster boy for gun control. Stupid enough to make one wonder if Moore might just have a point.

Shopping Sex Offenders

Posted on December 16, 2002 by marc

David Siebers, a registered sex offender identified by Albuquerque, NM sheriffs as one they “feel he’s a danger and there’s a likelihood he’s going to re-offend.” has been run out of town by Mayor Martin Chavez. One guess where he’s gone. Texas. Read the Houston Chronicle story. Thanks a heap, Mayor Chavez, for making your…

Posted on December 6, 2002 by marc

The Houston police scandal that bloomed as a result of the mass arrest of approximately 300 people loitering around a Kmart store has resulted in two convictions of police officers.  Read the story in the Houston Chronicle.. Obviously it was stupid. But was it really wrong? Here are the present results of the Chronicle poll….

No More Miranda Warnings?

Posted on December 2, 2002 by marc

An appeal to the Supreme Court of an Oxnard, CA excessive force case in which a man who fought with police was shot by police could have wide-ranging impact on our legal system, including a possible rollback of the Miranda requirement. Read the story on Yahoo.com. This basic right of citizens being questioned by police…

Prosecutor’s Change of Heart

Posted on November 18, 2002 by marc

Marc Shiner used to prosecute murderers; now he defends them. Read about what changed his life in the N.Y. Times. One imagines the difficulties in feeling responsible for incarcerating a 13-year-old for the rest of his life are tremendous. This must be particularly so if you believe the young man can be rehabilitated. Marc Shiner’s…
