<h2 class="entry-title" itemprop="headline">
<a href="http://www.corruptioncripples.com/2015/02/islamic-state-video-showing-jordanian.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">Islamic State video showing Jordanian pilot, Moath al-Ksasbah, burned alive titled with Qur’an quote: “Healing the Believers Chests”</span></a></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The video is entitled, “<b>Healing the Believers Chests</b>” That’s from the
Qur’an: “Fight them, and Allah will punish them by your hands, cover
them with shame, help you over them, heal the breasts of Believers.”
(Qur’an 9:14).</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">People have been getting burned alive for one reason or another since the dawn of man, so WHY is this particular pilot getting SO much attention? Would the same be given to just a common man?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">He knew the risk when he would murder from thousands of meters above the ground. All without ever knowing for sure if it was only those they deemed guilty, he was murdering. </span></div>

<a href="http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=7f0_1419867986" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">Islamic State asks Twitter how to "kill Jordanian pilot pig"</span></a></h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="copy-paste-block" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Tens of thousands of Islamist terror
group's supporters offer ghastly suggestions in coordinated response to
Jordanian campaign in solidarity with captive pilot's family. The
radical Islamic State terror group has shown its murderous colors again
after capturing a Jordanian pilot flying a mission for the US-led
coalition, by asking social media users how they should murder the
captive. The group's supporters on social media have been using the
hashtag "Suggest a way to kill the Jordanian pilot pig" to crowd-source
creative solutions to murder First Lieutenant Muath al-Kaseasbeh, who
was shot down over Syria and captured by the ruthless radicals. The
active hashtag, which has garnered thousands of shares and tweets by the
group's activists and their supporters, has exposed horrific methods to
torment the Jordanian pilot to death.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
According to news website Vocativ, which identified the increased use of
the hashtag, the myriad ways suggested included beheading, burning
alive, pummeling with a tractor, and "impalement." And if one hashtag
wasn't enough for the Islamic State supporter, another –
WeAllWantToSlaughterMuath – has been mentioned over 11,000 times. The
jihadi hashtag campaign was a response to the much wider campaign run by
supporters of the Jordanian pilot and his family. Since he was taken
captive last week, hundreds of thousands of Arabs have tweeted using the
hashtag WeAreAllMuath, in which they share their prayers for the
captive Jordanian.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
The campaign was even adopted by Queen Rania, who uploaded a photo to
instagram in solidarity with the captive, and Jordan's official
television channel, which broadcast a picture of Muath alongside the
hashtag. Muath married last summer and only finished flight school in
recent months. His father, Youssef, also urged the public to support the
family. "I pray that Allah will plant mercy in their hearts and they
will release him."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
He implored Jordan's King Abdullah "to return my son to me. We all
sacrifice for our country and for the honor of the king." The father
said he was notified that the king was following the affair and
dedicating special efforts to saving his son's life.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
First Lieutenant al-Kasaesbah was born in 1988 and lived in the city of
Al Karak south of Amman. In 2006, he began his studies at the Royal
Jordanian Air Force Academy. Al-Kasaesbah completed his studies in 2009
and joined the Jordanian Air Force. Before his summer wedding, he made
pilgrimage to Mecca and then joined the coalition against the Islamic
State.</span> </div>

Christians aren't with clean hands when it comes to burning people alive. Some of the victims worshiped deities not of the ruling "church". However most apparently did not. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<br />
During 1550 - about 1671, Christians burned an estimated 50,000 to
100,000 for what they claim was such things as heresy and/or withccraft. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Some of the victims were midwives and native healers; however most
were not. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Most of the victims were tried executed by local, community courts,
not by the Church. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A substantial minority of victims -- about 25% -- were male. </div>

The insanity affected mostly
Switzerland, Germany and France, yet the United State of America did their fair share as well.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Two state comptrollers, current and former, on Wednesday signaled their
determination to face down corruption at a meeting of a Knesset lobby, in the
wake of reports stating Israel has a bad record fighting money-laundering and
related crimes.<br /><br />The meeting of the Lobby for the Struggle Against
Corruption in the Public Sector was attended by Joseph Shapira (current
comptroller), Micha Lindenstrauss (former comptroller), Justice Minister Tzipi
Livni, opposition leader (Labor) Isaac Herzog, Labor MK Shelly Yachimovich and
other top officials.<br /><br />The two reports, which came out last month, were
from a monitoring body of the Council of Europe, Moneyval, which harshly
criticized Israel for being its only member country failing on certain
obligations in fighting both money-laundering and terrorism financing, and a
report by the Israeli chapter of the International Transparency NGO (run by
Lindenstrauss) placing Israel 23rd out of 34 OECD countries in fighting
corruption.<br /><br />During the hearing, Shapira announced that he had “decided to
start a new beginning in checking the claims of Rafi Rotem,” a former top tax
official who has been claiming for years that he was fired improperly for trying
to serve as a whistle-blower regarding illegalities by the Israel Tax
Authority.<br /><br />Rotem has had supporters from many corners calling for some
time for the state to grant him a special whistle- blower status and to
compensate him for alleged retaliation against him that reportedly was a factor
leading to him being ruined financially.<br /><br />Shapira also cited a number of
his efforts to fight corruption and ensure ethical conduct, including an
initiative for the state to finance legal defense costs for whistle-blowers when
those whom they blow the whistle on try to sue and silence them.<br /><br />Another
initiative was to obtain protective court orders to prevent firings and other
retaliation against whistle-blowers, he said.<br /><br />Channel 10 journalist Raviv
Drucker briefly had a spat with Shapira in which he implied that Shapira had
been weaker in hunting down corruption by top officials than Lindenstrauss had
been.<br /><br />Shapira took exception to Drucker’s comments and, sitting next to
Lindenstrauss, emphasized that “Lindenstrauss and I are together [in fighting
corruption], and if the press or someone says we disagree, they are
wrong.”<br /><br />Turning to Lindenstrauss he said, “What you are doing is very
important.”<br /><br />Lindenstrauss said the work of organizations attending the
meeting against corruption was “further praise of Israeli democracy” and sounded
a positive note in fighting corruption despite the problems described in his
report.<br /><br />Livni said that the reports showing problems with Israel’s
efforts against corruption were valuable, but that whether the data is not
ignored, but is used to fix the problem, is important.<br /><br />“Not everyone is
ready to fully” address corruption, she warned. “We need to do more things in
the open and not behind closed doors.”<br /><br />Livni further noted that those who
were corrupt were “very strong, and it is hard to get to them and to deal with
the real issues.”<br /><br />Shapira had sounded a similar theme, saying,
“Corruption now wears different clothes, and evolves, becoming more
sophisticated all the time.”<br /><br />Other actions Shapira said he was pushing
for to fight corruption, particularly surrounding elections, were heavy fines
for election-related violations, publicizing the names of guarantors of
contributions for candidates and not only their donors, and calling on the state
to finance primaries to even the playing field between richer and poorer
potential candidates. </span></span></div>

In Israel</span></span></a></b></h2>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Israel ranks among the world's
most ruthless states. It qualifies for rogue state status.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />It spurns the UN Charter,
major treaties, and other international law. It violates its own. It
gets away with murder because world leaders mattering most do
nothing.<br /><br />It's contemptuous of anyone not Jewish. Arabs are
considered subhuman. Militancy, belligerence, and institutionalized
racism reflect official policies.<br /><br />Israel is also a failed
state. Separate and unequal is official policy. One-fifth of its
population is considered a fifth column threat.<br /><br />Neoliberal
harshness harms most Jews. Arab citizens fare worst of all. Wealthy
and powerful elites run Israel for their own benefit. Most others
lose out.<br /><br />International laws and standards are spurned. Israel
does what it pleases with impunity. World opinion is ignored.
Democracy exists in name only. Hypocrisy reflects official
policy.<br /><br />Israel is unfit to live in. Many Jews vote with their
feet and leave. Others consider doing it. One day perhaps most
Israelis no longer will want any part a nation threatening
humanity.<br /><br />Corruption reflects Israeli society. On October 26,
2010, Haaretz headlined "Israel ranks among Western world's most
corrupt countries."<br /><br />Transparency International's (TI)
assessment was cited. It rated Israel number 30 on its 178-nation
list. Number one ranking reflects least corrupt.<br /><br />Compared to
OECD countries, Israel fared much worse. Denmark, New Zealand and
Singapore scored best. TI's Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) rated
Israel 6.1 out of 10.<br /><br />It ranks countries according to
perceived public sector corruption. Israel placed 22nd out of 33 OECD
members.<br /><br />TI calls itself "the global civil society
organization leading the fight against corruption, brings people
together in a powerful worldwide coalition to end the devastating
impact of corruption on men, women and children around the
world."<br /><br />Its own transparency is lacking. Its reports are
predictably politicized. They consistently understate Western
corruption. Other parts of the world score worse. Independent nations
are unfairly targeted.<br /><br />Washington and other Western
governments provide most funding. They get what they pay for. Suspect
information is used. Countries like Venezuela are grossly
mistreated.<br /><br />In 2008, TI falsified information about PDVSA. It
claimed the state-owned oil company failed to disclose important
financial information relating to revenues and royalties paid. It
also said proper audits weren't conducted.<br /><br />It rated PDVSA
lowest among oil companies in 42 countries. Data TI said was withheld
was publicly available. Proper audits were conducted. Claiming
otherwise was false.<br /><br />Anti-Chavista information was used. The
Cundacion Momento de la Gente group provided it. Washington's
National Endowment for Democracy (NEW) funds the organization. It
gets what it pays for.<br /><br />In May 2010, the OECD accepted Israel
as a member. It did so despite its deplorable human rights record,
gross wealth disparity, eroding social justice, and extreme
belligerence.<br /><br />Haaretz said Israeli corruption hadn't improved
since 2007. Compared to other countries, its position is
deteriorating. TI CEO Galia Sagy said:<br /><br />"As opposed to
Israel, other countries are improving, and that is a problem."<br /><br />"Even
though corruption is discussed and condemned, politicians are not
doing enough to deal with it. If the political leadership does not
prioritize this issue, nothing will change."<br /><br />On December
1, 2011, Haaretz headlined "Corruption in Israel drops to record
depths, new survey shows," saying:<br /><br />TI's Sagy said
Israel's ranking was affected by the number of high officials
indicted. "The accrual of corruption allegations filters down
and affects perception," she said.<br /><br />TI first ranked Israel
in 1997. At 5.8, it scored lowest last year. It ranked 36th out of
183 nations surveyed. The higher the number, the greater the
corruption.<br /><br />Israel ranked 25th out of 34 OECD states. Its
score either replicated or slightly bettered St. Vincent and the
Grenadines, Bhutan, Malta, and Puerto Rico.<br /><br />New Zealand,
Denmark and Finland scored best. Somalia was worst. Sagy wasn't
optimistic about Israel improving. "We don't see actions
designed to halt the downward slide," she said.<br /><br />"The
ties between wealth and government need to be severed, as corruption
is one of the main causes of inequality."<br /><br />It's true
throughout Western societies. America by far is most corrupt. Funding
Washington provides TI gets what it pays for.<br /><br />Its reports
downplay US corruption, extreme wealth disparity, eroding social
justice, deplorable human rights record, and war it wages on
humanity.<br /><br />Israel goes all out to replicate the worst of its
paymaster partner. On December 22, 2011, Haaretz headlined
"Corruption in Israel must be uprooted," saying:<br /><br />An
end of year State Comptroller's report raised concerns. It said rules
applying to central governance with respect to money and power ties
also affect local authorities.<br /><br />Israel's cabinet and Knesset
decisions affect all Israelis. At the same time, their main contact
with government is local. "Everyday life is determined by the
decisions made by the local authority or municipality council, and
especially by its head."<br /><br />The State Comptroller's report
raised red flags. Corrupt mayors were named. They're "good to
those who have been good to them, at the expense of the public and
public funds."<br /><br />Conduct reflecting criminality,
approaching it, or skirting it was suggested. Security issues were
raised. Local authorities have flawed measures in place to handle
them.<br /><br />Corruption and negligence issues were discussed.
Ordinary Israelis lose out. The comptrollers report discussed what's
ongoing. Little is being done nationwide to change things.<br /><br />On
December 5, Haaretz headlined "Israel ranks 39 on list of most
corrupt countries," saying:<br /><br />Its score keeps falling.
Year-over-year, it dropped from 36 to 39.<br /><br />TI said malfeasance
forced several leaders from office last year. Little changed.
Corruption and abuse of power persist globally.<br /><br />Two-thirds of
the countries ranked reflect extreme corruption. Distorted measures
excluded America, Israel, and other Western states among the world's
worst.<br /><br />Independent states Washington targets scored poorly.
Rankings were grossly distorted. Somalia ranked 174, North Korea 174,
Afghanistan 174, Sudan 173, Venezuela 165, Syria 144, Russia 133,
Iran 133, Lebanon 128, Belarus 123, Ecuador 118, Bolivia 105, China
80, and Cuba 58.<br /><br />Most major Western countries got undeserved
high rankings. EU states affected by financial crisis ranked poorly.
Greece was 94. Italy scored 72.<br /><br />Israel scored lower than
Slovenia, Taiwan, Puerto Rico, Estonia, Botswana, UAE, and Qatar. It
should have ranked much lower on TI's list.<br /><br />Its managing
director, Corbus de Swardt, called corruption "the world's most
talked about problem. The world's leading economies should lead by
example."<br /><br />They should "mak(e) sure that their
institutions are fully transparent and their leaders are held
accountable."<br /><br />He didn't explain their involvement in
massive corruption. As a result, their high rankings distort reality.
America is the world's largest economy by far. US corruption is worst
of all.<br /><br />London may be the world's most corrupt city. It's an
international financial center. It's the world's largest. Over 20% of
all international bank lending occurs there and more than 30% of all
foreign exchange transactions.<br /><br />Over 240 of the world's largest
banks operate key parts of their international business there.
Economist Jack Rasmus calls it the world's "cowboy finance
capital."<br /><br />It's the epicenter of libor rigging. Binary
Economics Professor Rodney Shakespeare told Progressive Radio News
listeners that amounts involved exceed global GDP 15 or
20-fold.<br /><br />Multi-trillions of dollars are manipulated. Liborgate
reflects massive fraud. It persists because nothing is done to stop
it.<br /><br />Government and business collude. Doing so facilitates
massive corruption. It reflects business as usual on Wall Street and
in other financial capitals.<br /><br />Israel is mired in corruption. So
are other Western states. TI rankings exclude reality. They downplay
extreme corruption where it most needs exposing.<br /><br />Money buys
influence. Washington, major Western states, and Israel get the best
rankings money can buy.</span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">New Delhi: The ruling by the Supreme Court on ministers with criminal
background in the government has put the spotlight on Narendra Modi and
his cabinet after the prime minister swept to power this year pledging
clean governance.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">The court said that lawmakers with criminal backgrounds should not
serve in government, with 13 ministers in the current administration
facing charges for attempted murder, rioting and other offences.</span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">“We leave it to the wisdom of the Prime Minister whether to appoint
people with criminal background or not. The PM and the CMs should not
include people with criminal antecedents in their cabinet. Those in
conflict with law and involved in offenses of moral turpitude and
corruption should not be allowed to discharge duty as ministers,” the
apex court said in its judgement while dismissing the petition filed by
Manoj Narula, who had sought direction against criminalisation of
politics.</span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">It was a unanimous ruling by the bench comprising Lodha, Dipak Misra,
Madan B Lokur, Kurian Joseph and SA Bobde. While all five judges stood
by the verdict passed, two of them — Justice Kurian and Justice Lokur —
strongly insisted that if a person with dubious integrity is barred from
civil services, then politicians with criminal background should also
be barred from the cabinet.</span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">“We are saying nothing more, nothing less and it is left on the wisdom
of the PM to decide. PM and CMs will be well advised not to include such
people in their ministry. Corruption is an enemy of the nation. As a
trustee of the Constitution, the PM is expected not to appoint
unwarranted persons as ministers, no disqualification can be
prescribed,” the judges ruled on a 10-year-old petition that sought the
removal of chargesheeted ministers from the UPA government at the time.</span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Modi’s cabinet has 13 ministers with police cases, but Wednesday’s
ruling will have a bearing on them only if charges have been framed by a
court.</span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Earlier, the Centre had argued that the dismissal of ministers would be
against the Constitutional prerogative of the PM and the will of the
people, and that “once a person is a Member of Parliament (MP), he is
entitled to be in the council of ministers.”</span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) welcomed the ruling.</span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">“The apex Court is wise in going by the spirit of the law. They have
done the second best thing of appealing to the conscience of the PM,”
BJP leader Subramanian Swamy told the Gulf News.</span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Reacting to the Court ruling, the Congress urged the PM to come clean on this.</span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">“The Supreme Court has made a very critical observation. Hope the PM
does not include tainted leaders in his Cabinet. The PM has to now come
up and state clearly what he plans to do, whether he agrees or disagrees
with the verdict. In politics, one is bound to morality and ethics,”
Congress leader Manish Tewari told the Gulf News.</span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">“It is a very strong message to the PM. Indirectly, the Supreme Court
has advised the PM to drop ministers with criminal background. There is a
need on the part of the PM to be very serious now. Before elections,
the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) led by BJP promised to root out
corruption, now there are 13 ministers in the government with criminal
background. In the previous Congress-led United Progressive Alliance
(UPA) government, there were no ministers with criminal background. The
PM must be serious and act on the advice of the Supreme Court,” Congress
leader Rashid Alvi told the Gulf News.</span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader DP Tripathi said those with
criminal background should not be made ministers. If the chargesheet is
filed against a minister, he must lose the right to be in the Cabinet.</span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">In an earlier hearing, it was argued that those with a criminal past
should not be made a part of the Cabinet. This was limited to people who
had criminal chargesheets filed against them and were taken into
consideration by a criminal court.</span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">The government, however, argued that only Parliament can decide the
threshold of what would constitute as being a criminal past. The court
also ruled that it cannot pass directions for disqualification of
ministers facing criminal and corruption charges.</span></span></div>

Please read the article and understand that what's written is so true of those holding positions as <a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/public%20servant" target="_blank">public servants</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Public servants do seem to be taking their positions of power to extremes, and inflict harm when and where they can. It takes those who are repentant, remorseful and/or regretful in these positions that make fine <a href="http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Public+servants" target="_blank">public servants</a>.<br />
<br />
Arm yourself with video and audio recording devises and catch them in the act if they're dirty! But, remember, not all are dirty. So, please don't stereotype them as they may you. Be better, and maybe, just maybe, they will learn how to correct and not follow their wrongs.<br />
<br />
Search the internet for articles, video and audio of those public servants who forget their postion and over step their authority. The occurrences of them going wrong is increasing.</div>

We couldn't of added much more than that!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Truck driver Brian Miner turned the tables on a trooper for the
Illinois State Police who pulled him over for “unlawful use of horn.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
That’s because Miner noticed the officer was driving at a high rate
of speed, cellphone in hand, on wet pavement, and decided to “voice” his
displeasure with the officer’s reckless driving in the only way that he
could.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The officer, who goes unnamed but clearly seen in the video that
Miner posted to YouTube following the event, decides to pull the truck
driver over.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Big mistake.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Miner lets the officer know right away that he’s being recorded and
things get pretty contentious from there with Miner going off on the
reckless driving of his potential ticketer.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It does seem, for a moment, that the Illinois State Trooper is bound
and determined to find something he can “get” Miner for — unfortunately
for him, he finds a pretty spotless record and has to come back to the
vehicle ready to eat crow.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
At the end of the video, Miner gets away without a ticket and even an
apology, and then turns the camera on himself: “And that’s what happens
when they know you’re recording.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For any truck driver — or anyone — who’s ever been furious at police
officers who think they’re above the law, this is must-see stuff:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/f-dJgFdfl3I?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="copy-paste-block">
Naturally, YouTube nation loved it:
“Police (aka terrorists) wise up really fast, once they realize they’re
being recorded,” said one commenter. “It’s too bad that we have to rely
on recordings to keep them honest. That’s what happens when you put
corrupt humans into positions of ‘authority’ over other people.”<br />
<br />
Another: “Thank God Americans are catching these lying supremacist predators in the act.”<br />
<br />
And this: “This video is simply trying to bring light to the fact
that there are countless public servants, be they cops, legislatures
[sic], bureaucrats, politicians and government officials, who believe
they are above and exempt from the law. The problem has gotten
completely out of control as more and more high-ranking individuals
within state and federal governments continue to violate state and
federal law to push their own agendas without being held accountable.”<br />
<br />
To be fair, the officer here does not represent all police officers.
Many are great at their jobs, and we’re all better off that they’re
there protecting us.<br />
<br />
But they also must be held accountable to the same standards as the rest of us, and this truck driver did it beautifully.</div>

<br />
What you will view and listen to accompanied herein is becoming a more prevalent occurrence in the United States of America Corrupted Judicial system. It has come to seem that Law Enforcement officials on all sides of the bench think they can put themselves above any sort of the once existent "Rule of Law" in the USA.<br />
<br />
Here a so-called "judge" seems to have no problem violating law and/or others rights. What should also be disturbing is that Judge John C. Murphy seems to coerce public defender Andrew Weinstock to not allow his client a right to a speedy trial.<br />
<br />
So-called "judges", all across the USA, use different tactics to make their job easier and to make more profit, gain and/or control for a system that has long been operated by evil. They are merely people who make mistakes and as with us all, must be held accountable.<br />
<br />
Most of those sitting some sort of bench of justice in the US follow a version of a faith.<br />
<br />
The day after the nasty assault, outside the courtroom, people were abuzz about the recording showing
part of the incident. Some said they watched the video on a national
news morning show. The video of the confrontation received substantial
play on national news outlets.<br />
<br />
Just inside the entrance to the
courthouse, a framed copy of the "Principles of Professionalism for
Florida Judges" hangs on the wall. First on the list: "A judge should be
courteous, respectful and civil to lawyers, parties, witnesses, court
personnel, and all other participants in the legal process."<br />
<br />
All too many USA citizens are being herded up and treated far less than common cattle via the widespread <b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: red;">CORRUPT</span></span></b> judicial system in the United States of America. "Rule of Law" and for "protect and serve" sake, have become more like: If you have money, assets and/or we can use you in our cold, cold cells, then you're needed to fuel the <b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: red;">CORRUPT</span></span></b> system of justice. Shut up, you're ours now, they seem to think! That seems to be the way it is for those roped into the <b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: red;">Corrupted</span></span></b> US Judicial system.<br />
<br />
How will John C. Murphy repent, be remorseful and/or be made to give unto restitution as he has surely imposed on those he cast judgment upon during his time on the seat of "justice"? <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>The ordeal is listed below beginning with the most recent details first and the video of the ordeal towards the end.</i></span> <br />
<br />
<br />
<i><span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b>UPDATED:</b></span></i><br />
<br />
Since the firestorm from John C. Murphy's assault, oh so many have been calling for him to be removed.<br />

Having had the privilege of serving a
three-year term on the Florida Bar Grievance Committee for the 18th
Judicial Circuit, I can state with some certainty that this type of
behavior is unacceptable to the legal community, and rightly so.
Whatever bad blood existed between Judge John Murphy and Assistant
Public Defender Andrew Weinstock should have been settled in a more
professional manner.</div>
<br />
<b>Charles A. Kohler</b><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Lawyers, when
they address a judge, should use their title as judge or the term "your
honor." When a judge asks a lawyer if he would like a trial or a docket
sounding, the lawyer should give the judge a straight answer. When a
lawyer is told by the judge to sit down, he should. When a lawyer
refuses — after the third time — that lawyer might expect to be taken
into custody by the court deputy and taken to a holding cell. When a
lawyer agrees to go fight a retired Army colonel, instead of stating
unequivocally, "No sir, I do not want to fight, I want a trial date,"
then that is just wrong. I am surprised the public defender announced
his approval of this conduct.</div>
<br />
<b>Pat Pasley</b><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Yes, Judge
Murphy could have shown more restraint, but the attorney willingly
accepted the challenge and met with the judge. This implies mutual
consent. The camera angle does not show who made the first move out of
the courtroom. The judge is now on leave and has to take
anger-management classes. I would expect no less to be assigned to the
attorney. I have known Judge Murphy for some time and he is a good and
honorable man who normally uses good judgment. Something had to trigger
this incident , which I am sure he now regrets.</div>

No
judge is above the law. Taxpayers are being forced to pay his salary
after video, audio and eyewitness evidence proves beyond a shadow of a
doubt that this judge not only violated judicial canons, he demonstrated
his own mental instability, committed assault and disturbed the peace
in a matter of minutes. If he is not prosecuted for his premeditated
crimes, it serves as indisputable proof that judges are allowed to
violate the very same laws they are duly sworn to abide by and decide
within the court system.</div>
<br />
<b>Marcus Hochman</b><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
I understand
that he might be a good judge, served in the military for 30 years and
has helped out numerous vets. But this is not about the man; instead,
this is about the position he swore an oath to. This is about an
expectation of excellence. I truly hope that this judge holds himself
accountable and resigns. This would be an act of honor for Lady Justice.</div>
<br />
<b>David Smith</b><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
No
one has all of the facts, yet most want to hang him high ... He is on
paid leave. That means he has vacation time coming. Instead of vacation,
he will be going to anger management classes. Again, for all of you who
can't wait for your pound of flesh, he will be punished. Even judges
have the right to due process … If it makes you feel better, file your
complaints … There is no prosecution of anyone, including county court
judges, if there is no criminal complaint filed. It is "assault" in
Florida if you approach someone in a threatening manner with the means
to inflict harm. It is criminal "battery" if you strike another person.
It appears from the video and sound both were in violation. I didn't see
what actually occurred when they left the room.</div>
<br />
<b>William Worsham</b><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
It
actually is not about extracting a pound of flesh or any of the other
things. It is about maintaining some kind of reasonable courtroom
decorum and serving the people who are in court. That said, there is
another side to this, which is the actual problem they were discussing.
There are cases stacked up on these judges because the state doesn't
want to pay more money to expand courtroom functions. This is causing
this kind of stress. That problem is a political one. What you are
seeing is those frustrations play out in a ridiculous way.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
A Brevard County judge called out and attacked a defense lawyer
Monday in front of at least one sheriff's deputy and within earshot of a
prosecutor. Then, he walked right back to the bench to schedule a
suddenly lawyerless defendant for trial on two counts of assault.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Judge
John C. Murphy hasn't received even a ticket after allegedly grabbing
and beating Assistant Public Defender Andrew Weinstock in a courthouse
hallway for "pissing me off." Video and audio of the courthouse fracas
have played on TVs and mobile phones across America.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But I suspect
the Florida Supreme Court, which disciplines attorneys and judges, will
not be as blind to Murphy turning his courtroom into the Viera version
of "The Jerry Springer Show." The commission has long sanctioned other
judges for rude or sexist comments or showing favoritism — mild problems
compared to what Judge Murphy caused in court this week.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Meantime,
I'd be surprised if the Bar does much more than reprimand the assistant
public defender. On the video, Weinstock's biggest sin was some
arrogance in defending his client's Constitutional right to a speedy
trial.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"The attorney had every right to be irritated," his boss,
Public Defender Blaise Trettis, said Wednesday. His deputy felt
pressured to waive his client's rights to aid scheduling. On video, he
suggests prosecutors filed charges at the last minute, causing whatever
"crisis" Murphy perceived.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"If I had a rock, I would throw it at
you," Murphy tells the lawyer from the bench. "Sit down. I'll take care
of it. I don't need your help."</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"I'm the public defender, I have the right to be here and represent my client," Weinstock responds.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"I said, <i>sit down</i>," Murphy shouts before calling Weinstock "out back" ... for something.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"Let's go," Weinstock says, marching to the hallway, file folder in hand.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The attorney had "no earthly idea" what to expect, Trettis said.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Coercive courtroom?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"It's completely unexplainable, as I see it," Trettis said.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Murphy
is an otherwise respected judge who launched a special court for combat
veterans and conceded in an application for higher office that
impatience is a weakness. His job in misdemeanor court is to adjudicate
thousands of defendants accused of petty theft, domestic violence and
drug problems.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
He took a paid leave of absence Tuesday to seek anger-management counseling.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
What led to the blowup? I've heard plenty of speculation.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But
the key moment Monday — and a potential problem for the judge — may
have come during an appearance by another Weinstock client minutes
earlier. That client, too, had declined a plea deal and requested a
speedy trial.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Murphy responded by scheduling the trial for Monday
June 9, allowing less than four work days for attorneys to swap witness
lists and prepare. If that was too little time, the defendant could
always waive her right to a speedy trial.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
That seems coercive.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"You don't want to be late that day," Murphy told the woman, charged with domestic violence and disorderly conduct.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I won't speculate on Murphy's thinking.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But
Trettis told me some judges get testy when clients request speedy
trials. It's the one situation in which defendants' rights force judges
to give up some control. Speedy trials trump judges other scheduled
trials and hearings, forcing them to rearrange calendars.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Still,
your right to a speedy trial is fundamental, like owning a gun or
praying in your choice of churc. And public defenders are among the most
idealistic (if worst paid) advocates for criminal suspects' rights.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Who's next?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
During
the off-camera beat-down, video shows the gallery of defendants
laughing and hooting in the courtroom. They smile and clap nervously for
Murphy as he returns alone and collects himself on the bench.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In
response to their cocky attorney, Murphy had resorted to violence,
abandoned control of his courtroom and thrown of any semblance of
impartiality to the wind.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Imagine if <i>your</i> case was next with <i>that</i> judge.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Looking dazed at the lectern was Weinstock's client, William Rounicles of Cocoa, whose counsel had just disappeared.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Murphy pressed ahead, asking Rounicles what he wanted to do next.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"I want to get it done as soon as possible," the defendant said.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"That doesn't help me," Murphy responded, expecting the man to pick a trial date.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Then he set Rounicle' trial for Monday at 8:30 a.m., the same time as for Weinstock's other client.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Both
trials would be impossible. Murphy was either flustered by the fight —
or knew he had just forced one of the defendants to cave.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
"Stop pissing me off. Just sit down. I'll take care of it. I don't need your help," Murphy is seen saying on courtroom video.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"No.
You know what. I'm the public defender. I have a right to be here, and I
have a right to stand here and represent my clients," said Weinstock.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"If you want to fight, let's go out back and I'll just whoop your (expletive)," said Murphy.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The two are seen leaving the courtroom, and the audio from the scuffle was captured on Murphy's microphone.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Murphy's outburst has drawn a formal complaint from South Florida attorney John B. Thomas.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"Is
this state to issue robes made by Everlast?" Thomas wrote in the
complaint. "The Florida Supreme Court must remove this judge from the
bench immediately."</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The judge's actions may violate a part of
Florida's Code of Judicial Conduct that says, "A judge shall be patient,
dignified, and courteous ... and shall require similar conduct of
lawyers."</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The complaint about Murphy will go before the Judicial Qualifications Commission, which meets in secret.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It can recommend anything from a reprimand to a removal from the bench. The state Supreme Court makes the final decision.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The
judge could also be charged with misdemeanor battery if an
investigation reveals he hit the attorney and it was witnessed. The
investigation is underway.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Brevard County Judge John Murphy <a href="http://www.floridatoday.com/story/news/local/2014/06/03/brevard-judge-will-take-leave-of-absence-after-courtroom-scuffle/9935077/" title="http://www.floridatoday.com/story/news/local/2014/06/03/brevard-judge-will-take-leave-of-absence-after-courtroom-scuffle/9935077/">will take a leave of absence</a> and seek anger management counseling following a scuffle in his Viera courtroom Monday morning, officials said today.</div>

"Moreover,

<div style="text-align: left;">
Also today:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<ul>
<li>The Florida Bar, which handles attorney discipline, confirmed it has a "file open" related to the courthouse brawl.</li>
<li> </li>
<li>The
Judicial Qualification Commission could not confirm whether it was
investigating Judge Murphy's role in the incident. However, officials
said it was the kind of thing the JQC would investigate.</li>
<li> </li>
<li>The
criminal investigation continued, but no charges were filed. Brevard
County sheriff's spokeswoman Deputy Maria Fernez said deputies "weren't
able to get statements, that I'm aware of," from the judge and attorney.</li>
<li> </li>
<li>The involved attorney, Weinstock, took the day off. Public Defender Blaise Trettis said Weinstock would be out for several days.</li>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I was appalled, but not surprised, to read about the awful conduct of
Brevard County Judge John Murphy and his decision to take the law in
his own hands in court on Monday.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am appalled because this
so-called judge apparently knows nothing about courtroom conduct, has
apparently never heard of the majesty of the law and apparently doesn't
know the days of judges like Roy Bean are over.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It is a sad day
for Brevard County jurisprudence when Murphy, a former Special Forces
colonel, decides that brute force is the answer for imposing courtroom
decorum, but perhaps that is the only law he really understands. He
should be removed from the bench and disbarred from the legal
profession.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
However, I would not be surprised if nothing comes of
this, just as I am never surprised when Brevard County judges are
accused of breaches in decorum (search out information from the Judicial
Qualifications Committee). Just because he is an officer of the
court/law does not mean he is above the law.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I can only hope that
the Florida Bar Association and the Florida Supreme Court will view the
judge's conduct in the same light as I do, and that citizens of our
county will demand he leave the bench before he does something more
drastic.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
To resort to violence, even if he is provoked, does not
indicate a fair and impartial ability to administer the law. By the way,
what were the bailiffs doing in this case? Are they not present to
enforce order in the courtroom?</div>

<a href="http://judgepedia.org/John_C._Murphy" target="_blank">Judge John <span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino; font-size: 16px;">C. </span>Murphy</a> was allegedly trying to get public defender Andrew Weinstock to waive his client’s right to a speedy trial.<br />
<br />
<span id="articleText">Weinstock's boss, Public Defender Blaise Trettis,
said the judge became angry because Weinstock refused to waive his
client's constitutional right to a speedy trial. Under Florida law,
defendants have the right to a trial within 90 days for a misdemeanor
and 175 days for a felony.</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Video footage shows Murphy telling Weinstock, “You know, if I had a
rock, I would throw it at you right now. Stop pissing me off. Just sit
down.” Weinstock responds, “You know I’m the public defender. I have a
right to be here and I have a right to stand and represent my client.” Both Murphy and Weinstock <span id="articleText">can be heard via the video from the courthouse in Viera on Florida's east
coast.</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span id="articleText">After Weinstock refused to sit or
waive his client's rights, the judge Murphy issued his challenge to </span>Weinstock to go out to a hallway in the back so
they could settle their dispute with fists. Murphy is heard saying, “If
you want to fight, let’s go out back and I’ll just beat your ass.”<br />
<span id="articleText"> </span><br />
<span id="articleText">Weinstock can
be seen on the video walking out of frame toward the courtroom's back
door.</span> </div>
<br />

Video from inside the Brevard County, Florida courtroom where it began<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Public defender Blaise Trettis said Weinstock thought Murphy just wanted to talk, but was unpleasantly surprised. Trettis <a class="external" href="http://www.wftv.com/news/news/local/brevard-judge-accused-punching-public-defender/ngCGC/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">told WFTV</a>,
“The attorney said that immediately upon entering the hallway he was
grabbed by the collar and began to be struck. <span id="articleText">The lawyer said he just
tried to stop the blows.</span> There was no discussion,
no talk, not even time for anything. Just as soon as they’re in the
hallway, the attorney was grabbed.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Deputies pulled judge Murphy off of the lawyer, and Murphy went right back into the
courtroom, Murphy returned to the bench and said he needed a moment to catch his breath. He then finished up. Murphy was not charged with anything, but the
incident will be reported to the Florida Bar Association.<br />
<span id="articleText"><span id="midArticle_5"></span></span><br />
<span id="midArticle_6"></span><span id="midArticle_7"></span>"Judge
Murphy has agreed to seek anger management counseling and treatment
during a temporary leave of absence," 18th Circuit Chief Judge Harris
said in a statement.<br />
<br />
<span id="midArticle_8"></span>Trettis said he would not file charges, but he expected the Florida Supreme Court to take action against the judge.<br />
<br />
"It's really out of character," Trettis said of the judge's behavior. "He's really got a good reputation."<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"Hopefully it won't hurt either career," said Melbourne Attorney Eric
Morgan, who wondered if the incident was the result of a medical issue
or a misunderstood prank by the judge. He spoke highly of both men, but
noted they both expressed a willingness for a confrontation.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"In a sense you can say they had a consensual encounter," he said.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Public
defenders are typically assigned to cases in a single judge's
courtroom. Trettis said Weinstock had worked in Murphy's courtroom for
about six months and that he wasn't aware of a dispute that lead to the
fight.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Trettis said he had watched the courtroom video and didn't see anything that warranted disciplining Weinstock.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Weinstock
has been an attorney for about 15 years, some in private practice.
Before working in misdemeanor court with Murphy, he worked felony cases.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In the past year, two clients filed complaints against Weinstock, according to The Florida Bar.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In
January and October, two separate clients claimed Weinstock violated
rules regarding communication, saying he did not return their calls, for
example, and one claimed Weinstock violated his rights for speedy trial
by not properly handling his case.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Weinstock presented evidence
to the contrary, and documents released to FLORIDA TODAY show that The
Florida Bar's counsel found insufficient evidence in both cases to
pursue further investigation. Weinstock has no disciplinary history on
record, according to the Bar.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Last year, Murphy, who earns
$138,020 annually as a county court judge, applied to be nominated as a
judge in the Fifth District Court of Appeal, but he was passed up for
the position.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In his application, he wrote: "Judicial temperament
includes patience, open-mindedness, courtesy, tact, firmness,
understanding, compassion and humility. Patience was the toughest for
me. I work very hard to ensure that I do not become impatient."</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Murphy,
a retired Army colonel who served 30 years in the military, helped to
start and presides over Veterans Treatment Court, which seeks to help
veterans suffering from mental health issues or substance abuse by
keeping them out of jail. Efforts are made to get veterans in treatment
that they might not seek on their own or for which they don't know they
are eligible.</div>

respected their rights to protest, obviously," Berry said, "but what it
appears we have at this time is individuals who weren't connected
necessarily with the original protest. They've taken it far beyond a
normal protest."</div>

Protesters
took to the streets in the early afternoon Sunday and stayed out late
after authorities declared an unlawful assembly. The outrage bubbled
over following the recent fatal shooting of a homeless man as he
appeared to be surrendering after an hourslong standoff in the Sandia
foothills. Video of that shooting has been posted on websites around the
world.</div>

<div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1396308745732_2706" style="text-align: left;">
The FBI has opened a criminal
investigation of the shooting, while the U.S. Department of Justice has
been investigating allegations of excessive force and a culture of abuse
for more than a year.</div>

Albuquerque
police officers have been involved in 37 shootings, 23 of them fatal,
since 2010. Critics say that's far too many for a department serving a
city of about 555,000.</div>

<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1396308745732_2738" style="text-align: left;">
The protesters repeatedly marched the 2 miles from downtown Albuquerque to the University of New Mexico, snarling traffic.</div>

<div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1396308745732_2751" style="text-align: left;">
Justin Elder, 24, followed the protest as a passenger in a car and held a sign that read, "APD: Dressed To Kill."</div>
<div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1396308745732_2751" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1396308745732_2753" style="text-align: left;">
"That's what this police force is about," Elder said.</div>

<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1396308745732_2755" style="text-align: left;">
Albuquerque police in riot gear
and New Mexico State Police followed the marchers, and protesters
shouted epithets at officers. At one point, a protester climbed a tall
street sign on the city's historic Route 66 and unsuccessfully attempted
to bring it down.</div>

<div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1396308745732_2790" style="text-align: left;">
Another
protester, Alexander Siderits, 23, said he was participating because he
was "fed up" with how police treat citizens. "It has reached a boiling
point," he said, "and people just can't take it anymore."</div>
<div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1396308745732_2790" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1396308745732_2792" style="text-align: left;">
The
gathering came days after a YouTube video emerged threatening
retaliation for the March shooting of the 38-year-old homeless man,
James Boyd.</div>

<div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1396308745732_2794" style="text-align: left;">
The video, which
bore the logo of the computer hacking collective Anonymous, warned of a
cyberattack on city websites and called for the protest. Albuquerque
police said their site was breached early Sunday afternoon, but it was
back by that evening.</div>

<div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1396308745732_2796" style="text-align: left;">
Police spokesman Simon Drobik said investigators had not uncovered the source of the hack.</div>

A Minneapolis-St. Paul airport baggage handler was busted this week
after prosecutors say he was caught on tape stealing valuables from the
bags of passengers. David Vang, 23, allegedly walked away with $84,000
worth of passengers' belongings over an eight month period.</div>
<div id="yui_3_8_1_18_1365420327999_174" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Guns, jewelry and watches were among the items prosecutors say he stuffed into his backpack.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Vang faces 11 felony counts of theft.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Brad Garrett, a former FBI special agent and ABC News analyst, said it
would be difficult to stop something like this from happening again.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"You basically can't secure bags because of the sheer volume and the
movement of the bags and the handlers ability to have the bags where no
one's watching him at any given time," he said.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A second airport horror story was also exposed this week when a Delta
Airlines employee allegedly breached security at New York's John F.
Kennedy International Airport.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Travel/slideshow/photos-tsa-horror-stories-12186319"> <b>PHOTOS: TSA Pat-Down Horror Stories</b></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b> </b> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Marcelino Aponte, 31, was turned away by TSA officials because he did not have a boarding pass for his flight to Orlando.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Authorities say Aponte then used his airport security badge to get
through locked areas and board his flight- completely bypassing any
metal detectors.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
TSA told ABC News they responded within nine minutes, however Aponte's flight landed in Orlando before he was detained.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"The reality is if you work at an airline and you're moving around
through the airport from non secure to secure areas, you in effect do
not have to go through TSA clearances each time you go in and out of a
secure area," Garrett said.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
David Vang, 23, of St. Paul, was charged by summons in
Hennepin County District Court with 11 counts of felony theft in losses
last summer and fall at Terminal 1, also known as the Lindbergh
terminal.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Such thefts are rare, but they do occur,” airport
spokesman Patrick Hogan said Thursday. “Nearly 20,000 people work at MSP
International Airport, and while most are honest, law-abiding citizens,
there are likely to be a few in such a large group who aren’t as
trustworthy.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Precaution advice</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Hogan added that the best way for travelers to protect themselves is
to “pack valuables in their carry-on luggage, rather than their checked
luggage, whenever possible.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Along with 10 firearms retrieved from Vang’s living room
closet, authorities say they uncovered more than 700 other items he
stole, including iPads, laptop computers, projectors, cellphones,
cameras, purses, watches, knives, jewelry and hunting and fishing gear.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Vang was employed at the time by the Dallas area’s Elite Line Services to maintain baggage conveyance systems.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Airport police were led to the thefts after a Delta Air
Lines traveler reported that his bow and electronic items were missing
from his luggage when he arrived in Alaska from Minneapolis, according
to the criminal complaint.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
All of the victims were believed to be passengers making
flight connections, because “the items had been electronically scanned
into checked luggage inventory by [MSP] airline employees but were not
among the items scanned as having been loaded onto the aircraft,” Hogan
said.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“One of the challenges is that travelers will often
report missing items only to their airline or only to law enforcement
officials at the airport where they originally checked the bag,” Hogan
added, “not at their destination airport or at the airport where they
caught a connecting flight.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Many times thefts aren’t reported to us at all, and when they are,
it can be difficult to determine where along the traveler’s route the
crime occurred.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Cameras aid in case</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Police had two hidden cameras installed in the area where
they believed the thefts were occurring. Surveillance footage showed
Vang taking items from luggage and hiding them nearby until his shift
ended, the complaint added.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The surveillance also showed Vang taking the items to an
employee parking ramp, where he put them in a vehicle driven by his
wife, Vue Xiong, according to the charges. Xiong, 21, was charged with
one count of felony theft.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Under questioning by police, Vang admitted to the theft, the complaint read. Authorities put the value of the items at $84,379.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The defendants, who were charged by summons, could not
immediately be reached for comment. Vang’s first court appearance is set
for April 18, Xiong’s on April 25.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Vang had a security badge issued by police, Hogan said.
Since Vang worked in a secure area, he “had gone through all the federal
background checks, and no disqualifying crimes were identified on his
record,” Hogan added.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Hogan did not know whether his employer ran Van through a
similar security process. A supervisor at the company’s Twin Cities
facility declined to comment on the case.</div>

Nigeria faces perilous times because of massive corruption, abuse of
office and gross incompetence of the Minister of Justice and Attorney
General of the Federation, Mr Mohammed Adoke, the Anti-Corruption
Network has said, asking President Goodluck Jonathan to relieve him of
his appointment.<br />
<br />
Vowing to continue to speak for millions of Nigeria who cannot speak
for themselves, the group said in a statement today that despite
announcing on International Human Rights Day last December that the
Nigeria Police had killed 7,106 people in four years, of which 2000 were
detainees and suspects, Mr. Adoke has not taken one step to bring to
justice the officers responsible for them, or made efforts to stop
extra-judicial killings in Nigeria.<br />
<br />
The Anti-Corruption Network offered many examples of Adoke’s failures and compromises, including:<br />
<br />
• The 197 persons known to him under his National Drug Law
Enforcement Agency authority to have been jailed for drug offences in
the Lagos area, none of whom have served their sentences, noting that he
has taken no steps to ensure they actually serve their jail terms;<br />
<br />
• His leadership, as Attorney General, of the Prerogative of Mercy
Committee that recently recommended pardon for a man who has an
international warrant on him and has admitted guilt of several charges;
another man who inflicted death and pain on many families by liquidating
the Bank of the North; and for Major Magaji, a serial sodomist who lost
his case at both the Court of Appeal and Supreme Court;<br />
<br />
• The case of Cecilia Ibru, the former Oceanic Bank boss who was
convicted of Bank and Securities fraud and, in addition to six months in
jail was to forfeit over #150 billion in cash and assets but who in
September 2012 entered into a plea bargain with Adoke, yielding a
complicated situation where Mrs. Ibru is still in custody of all the
supposedly seized assets.<br />
<br />
Drawing attention also to Mr. Adoke’s tendency to flout court orders,
the Anti-Corruption Network called on President Goodluck Jonathan, if
his fight against corruption is genuine, to immediately sack Mr Adoke
Mohammed as the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the
Federation.<br />
<br />
“We also call on the Nigerian Bar Association to put their engine in
motion for disciplining Adoke for gross professional mis-conduct,” the
statement said. “The former Minister of Justice, Aondoakaa was stripped
of his SAN position for lesser offenses. So we implore the NBA to
investigate and punish Adoke accordingly in the interest of the BAR.”<br />
<br />
<i><b>Full text of the statement:</b></i><br />
<br />
FLAGRANT ABUSE OF POWER VESTED IN THE OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL BY MR MOHAMMED ADOKE.<br />
<br />
We in the Anti-corruption Network will continue to speak for millions
of Nigeria who cannot speak for themselves. The country is facing
perilous times due to massive Corruption abuse of office and gross
incompetence of the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the
Federation. We are in times ofvicissitude and versiliation in Nigeria
because of the illegal and corrupt practices of Mr MohammedAdoke due to
conflict of interest and outrageous use of powers against public
interest.<br />
On 10th December, 2012, during the celebration of international day of
Human Right, Mr MohammedAdoke delivered a speech to commemorate the day
and said that the Nigerian Police had killed seven thousand, one hundred
and six people in four yearsextra judicially , out of which 2000 (two
thousand) are detainees and suspects. The question now is, as Attorney
General of the Federation, what steps has Mr Mohammed Adoke taken to
bring the policemen who committed these extra-judicial killings to book
in his efforts at stopping judicial killings in Nigeria?<br />
<br />
It is also known to Mr Adoke that about 197 people (drug convicts)
jailed in the Lagos area did not get toprison, they did not serve their
Sentences at all. What has Mr Adoke as Attorney General of Federation
done to get those people declared wanted and taken to prison to serve
their jail term? Since the NDLEA (National Drug Law Enforcement Agency)
is under his Ministerial control.<br />
Mr Adoke in his capacity as Attorney General headed the prerogative of
mercy Committee that recommended the recent National pardon list of Mr
President. How can Mr Adoke recommend National pardon for a man that has
international warrant on him, a man who admitted been guilty to a six
count charges, He recommended pardon for a man who caused pains, ache
and deaths to many family byliquidating the Bank of the North, more
disgusting is the granting of pardon to major Magaji, a man who
committed Sodomy, a man who slept with four men, a man who lost his case
both at the Court of Appeal and Supreme Court. In fact the Supreme
Court in her judgement described the satanic Act by major Magajias
brazen bizarre and barbaric, yet Mr Adokerecommended these people for
pardon against public interest.<br />
<br />
We will state instances of flagrant abuse of powers vested in the office of the Attorney General by MrAdoke.<br />
<br />
Cecilia Ibru, former Oceanic Bank Boss convicted of Bank and Securities
fraud by a Federal High Court in Lagos and Sentenced to 6 months in
jail and was to forfeit over #150 billion in cash and assets. However
she entered into the plea bargain with the AGF (Adoke) on the 15th
September 2010, a process that has no thanks to Adoke developed a “K”
leg. The meeting for plea bargain for Cecilia Ibru took place in the
office of the Attorney General and as we speak, Cecilia Ibru is still in
custody of all those supposedly seized assets. So also did the Mr
Adoke supervise the plea bargain in his office of Julius Berger, and
Chief Lucky Igbinedion.<br />
<br />
Senator Teslim Folarin and 3 other person charged with conspiracy and
murder of one MrLateef Salako on 30th December, 2010 during the local
Government Congress in Ibadan, Oyo State, despite what many Lawyers saw
as clasping evidence, Adoke withdrew the case. This we juxtapose with
the recent case ofOyerinde, where Mr Adoke said, his office does not
interfere with state matters. In Oyerindescase the President of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria ordered the Inspector General of Policeto
investigate the matter, yet it is called a State matters, but Mr Adoke’s
intervention in Senator Folarin matter is not Federal presence,
laughable!!! The police and SSS have conflicting reports; the office of
the Attorney General of the Federation demonstrated incompetence
because that office ought to have reconciled the two conflicting reports
that have exposed the entire country to ridicule.<br />
<br />
The AGF (Adoke) withdrew the prosecution of Suleiman Bello, Minister of
State for health, for allegedly soliciting and receiving #11.2M from
Governor of Adamawa State while serving in Adamawa State as Electoral
Commissioner.<br />
<br />
The AGF (Adoke) raised a memo on the case of the Vaswani Brothers
(Sunil, Heresh andMaresh) who were deported for a second time in April
2009 for an alleged #2.5BN Tax evasion that they should be allowed to
return to Nigeria to do business.<br />
<br />
The AGF (Adoke) refused to produce 14wittiness that were to testify in
the $180MHaliburton bribery scandal which led to the striking out of the
suit by Justice Abubarkar Umar of an Abuja High Court.<br />
<br />
In November, 2010, the AGF ordered EFCC to terminate the criminal case
filed against the former Director of Power Holding Company of Nigeria,
(PHCN), Maigada Shuiabu, one time Chief Executive Officer of Mtel. Edwin
Moore Monife, Ex General , Manager of Finance in NITEL, Emmanuel
Chukwuemeka Ossai and a former permanent Secretary in the Federal
Ministry of Power and Steel, Mahmood Sadiq, Mohammed after EFCC had
docked them thereby putting an end to the Siemens scam.<br />
<br />
The AGF (Adoke) also stalled the #6 billion frauds in the National
Judicial Institute NJI. Where an experte order was granted by
Justice Kafarati of which the AG (Adoke) refused to refile the case.<br />
<br />
Today the Malabu oil deal is dead and buried because the AG has refused
to push the case and is in fact frustrating the prosecution.<br />
<br />
The prosecution of the officials of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory
Commission (NERC) was also withdrawn against public interest.<br />
<br />
Despite stating in his legal advice on the complaint to President
Jonathan on chief Micheal Emerahs complaint against
international Bank(Citibank) for fraud that after a careful study of this
case file sent to his office by the inspector General of Police, “these
was enough evidence of which the accused were charge” he still withdrew
the case from Court.<br />
<br />
The attempt by Adoke to withdraw the case of Fedilis Anosike, the man
who bought Daily Times failed as Justice Pat Ajoku of the Federal High
Court, Lagos insisted that the AG’S power to withdraw a criminal Charge
against any person under section 174 (1) & (2) of the
1999constitution, that power under sub – section 3 must be exercised in
the public interest and to prevent abuse of legal conspiracy and
stealing of over #3BN worth of properties belonging to the media house.<br />
<br />
In the case of Erastus Akingbola at the Federal High Court, a case of
#10 billion money laundries, the case struck out by Justice Achibong on
grounds that the prosecution was shoddy, yet the case is yet to be
refile by the AGF.<br />
<br />
It is also laughable that the Government of a country declared mania of
the pension scam WANTED yet the AG does not file any charge against
him.<br />
<br />
These is a fund in the Ministry of Justice called the prison
decongestion fund, this fund is disbursed by the Ag, today we have 61,000
prisoners in Nigeria, out of which only 12,000 have been convicted.
Nothing is happening in the prison decongestion exercise, the Ag must
explain to Nigerians what happened to that fund, since prison congestion
is on the increase in Nigeria.<br />
<br />
The AG has also shown gross disregard for Court orders and Judgements.
The most recent was the case filed in a Lagos Federal High Court, case
suit FHC/L/CS/514/12 between MrBoniface Okezie and the Attorney General
of the Federation and 1 other. Where the Court ordered that the Attorney
General of the Federation disclose to the plaintiff the following
information. This information the Court ordered must be carried out by
the AG within 72 hours after the Judgement delivered on the 22nd day of
February, 2013. Unfortunately over one month after the AG is yet to
comply with the Court order. If the AG will not obey Court orders, then
who will in Nigeria. The information include:<br />
<br />
1.<br />
The list of criminal prosecutions being carried out by the Ministry of Justice through private Lawyers.<br />
<br />
2.<br />
The total amount spent by the Ministry of Justice in the course of the
said prosecutions and what is in the source of funding for such.<br />
<br />
3.<br />
How many private lawyers are currently being retained by the Ministry
of Justice for the prosecution of crimes and what are the details of the
fees to be paid and that I have actually been paid to those lawyers on
case by case basis.<br />
<br />
4.<br />
However much the Ministry of Justice paid to its own legal officers
(prosecutors) and how much the Ministry of Justice spent in training and
equipping its legal officers in the past one year.<br />
<br />
5.<br />
The reason for abandoning the legal officers in the Ministry of Justice in favour of private lawyers to prosecute offenders.<br />
<br />
The AG is yet to obey this Court order. With all the above stated abuse
of office, corrupt practices, incompetence and conflict of interest, we
call on the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to immediately
sack Mr Adoke Mohammed as the Minister of Justice and Attorney General
of the Federation if his fight against corruption is genuine.<br />
<br />
We also call on the Nigerian Bar Association to put their engine in
motion for disciplining Adoke for gross professional misconduct. The
former Minister of Justice, Aoudoakaa was stripped of his SAN position
for lesser offenses. So we implore the NBA to investigate and punish
Adoke accordingly in the interest of the BAR.<br />
<br />
May we never see that day, that legal profession tenants, conventions and practice direction is taken away.<br />
<br />
God bless Nigeria.<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Former Minister of Information and Communications, Prof Dora Akunyili
has expressed support for capital punishment for corrupt practices in
order to transform the country.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Akunyili said this while speaking as a guest lecturer at the 7<sup>th</sup> lecture
of the College of Natural and Applied Sciences, Bells University of
Technology, Otta, Ogun State, where she presented a paper titled
‘National Transformation: The Challenge of our Time’.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
She said that the desired change in the country was being prevented
by social vices such as corruption, insecurity, poor leadership among
others.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
She said, “In China, it is death penalty for corruption. I believe if
we are really serious about fighting corruption, there is the need to
insert harsher clauses to make corruption less attractive, just like
they do in China.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Once, one, two, three, four corrupt people are executed for
corruption, some others who have such tendency will definitely fall in
line.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Akunyili said that government refusing to punish corruption was as good as it promoting corruption.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“We just have to find a way to decisively fight corruption before it completely ruins this beautiful country,” she added.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Akunyili, who made her name as former Director-General of the
National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC)
also suggested that the Nigerian government emulate the British and
American governments by introducing a social security scheme for
unemployed youths.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
She noted that these governments paid a stipend to their unemployed so that their middle class and rich would be secured.<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
She added, “It is common sense that the rich will remain unsafe
in the midst of a hungry and angry majority. Government in the
Western world understands that the negative energy vibrating from
such people is enough to create discomfort.” She suggested that the
government could start with a scheme for the physically challenged
and aged, such as the social security scheme for the aged introduced
by the Ekiti State Government, which she commended.<br />
<br />
“To me, being a good leader means being a principled leader, and
being principled simply means being a man or woman of your words,
being guarded by the right moral compass, doing the right thing
anytime, anywhere and even in the face of threats of any type. It is
simply leadership by example,” she stated.<br />
<br />
She added that when a leader compromised his position by sharing
filthy lucre with his or her subordinates, he or she has lost the
right leadership authority and incapable of instilling any discipline
in the work force.<br />
<br />
She said, “When I was in NAFDAC, if I had allowed officers in
the ports or the registration desks and other sensitive areas to make
returns to me, we would not have been able to record any success in sanitizing the food and drug sector.<br />
<br />
Vice-Chancellor of the university, Prof Isaac Adeyemi, said the
institution invited Akunyili because of her pedigree and
contributions to the nation’s development.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Brennan: Don't stop at Rice, Rutgers should fire AD, too</span></h3>
<div class="asset-metabar-wrap" style="text-align: left;">

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="asset-metabar-author asset-metabar-item" itemprop="name">Christine Brennan, USA TODAY Sports</span><span class="asset-metabar-time asset-metabar-item ">12:27p.m. EDT April 3, 2013</span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Mike Rice was just fired by Rutgers -- finally, appropriately and
very belatedly. Unfortunately, athletics director Tim Pernetti, the man
who allowed Rice to keep coaching after seeing the hours and hours of
awful videotape of Rice's behavior, still has his job.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
How can the
leadership of Rutgers University do only half its job today? How does
the Rutgers athletic department move forward from such a blitzkrieg of a
scandal if the man leading it thought that a three-game suspension and a
$50,000 fine was proper punishment for the abuse, homophobic slurs and
all-out assault by its men's basketball coach on his players?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Rutgers
is a state school, supported by the taxpayers of New Jersey. I'd dare
say you could have shown the video to almost every one of the residents
of the state and received a more reasoned and thoughtful decision than
the one rendered by Pernetti at the end of last year. For that reason
alone, he must lose his job.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
."I
saw all of it," Pernetti told ESPN on Tuesday. "None of that behavior
is acceptable. ... We have a Rutgers standard and Mike Rice wavered from
the Rutgers standard." </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Wavered.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Has Pernetti, and has all
of college sports, learned nothing from the Penn State scandal? The two
stories are very different, of course, but there is a similar thread
running through both: the need to cover up a scandal rather than bring
it out into the open and deal with it honestly, fairly and quickly.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Pernetti, 42, should have known better. In fact, his background prepared him for just such an event, and he blew it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<object class="BLOGGER-youtube-video" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data-thumbnail-src="http://i.ytimg.com/vi/U_fKUmXcXnY/0.jpg" height="266" width="320"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/U_fKUmXcXnY?version=3&f=user_uploads&c=google-webdrive-0&app=youtube_gdata" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><embed width="320" height="266" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/U_fKUmXcXnY?version=3&f=user_uploads&c=google-webdrive-0&app=youtube_gdata" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
First and foremost, he's a TV guy. From 1994-2003, he worked in
television programming for ABC Sports. He moved to the cable start-up
CSTV and created the first-ever 24-hour network dedicated completely to
college sports. CBS acquired CSTV in 2006, and Pernetti became executive
vice president. He became the Rutgers athletics director in April 2009.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
How
could a man with that background not realize that all the damning
footage he was looking at was going to get out? He was given the perfect
excuse to fire his coach -- first for his behavior, and also for not
winning. It's not as if this was Bobby Knight. It should have been an
easy call for a young, up-and-coming AD at a school heading to the Big
Ten.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Yet Pernetti chose not to make that logical decision in December. So it was made for him in April. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
An
athletics director who can't make the right decision on something this
obvious has no place being in charge of student-athletes at Rutgers, or
anywhere else.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
GREENWICH, Conn.<br />
<br />
The Dow Jones and Standard & Poor’s 500
indexes reached record highs on Thursday, having completely erased the
losses since the stock market’s last peak, in 2007. But instead of
cheering, we should be very afraid. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
Over the last 13 years, the stock market has twice crashed and touched
off a recession: American households lost $5 trillion in the 2000
dot-com bust and more than $7 trillion in the 2007 housing crash. Sooner
or later — within a few years, I predict — this latest Wall Street
bubble, inflated by an egregious flood of phony money from the Federal
Reserve rather than real economic gains, will explode, too. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
Since the S.&P. 500 first reached its current level, in March 2000,
the mad money printers at the Federal Reserve have expanded their
balance sheet sixfold (to $3.2 trillion from $500 billion). Yet during
that stretch, economic output has grown by an average of 1.7 percent a
year (the slowest since the Civil War); real business investment has
crawled forward at only 0.8 percent per year; and the payroll job count
has crept up at a negligible 0.1 percent annually. Real median family
income growth has dropped 8 percent, and the number of full-time middle
class jobs, 6 percent. The real net worth of the “bottom” 90 percent has
dropped by one-fourth. The number of food stamp and disability aid
recipients has more than doubled, to 59 million, about one in five
Americans. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
So the Main Street economy is failing while Washington is piling a
soaring debt burden on our descendants, unable to rein in either the
warfare state or the welfare state or raise the taxes needed to pay the
nation’s bills. By default, the Fed has resorted to a radical, uncharted
spree of money printing. But the flood of liquidity, instead of
spurring banks to lend and corporations to spend, has stayed trapped in
the canyons of Wall Street, where it is inflating yet another
unsustainable bubble. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
When it bursts, there will be no new round of bailouts like the ones the
banks got in 2008. Instead, America will descend into an era of
zero-sum austerity and virulent political conflict, extinguishing even
today’s feeble remnants of economic growth. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
THIS dyspeptic prospect results from the fact that we are now
state-wrecked. With only brief interruptions, we’ve had eight decades of
increasingly frenetic fiscal and monetary policy activism intended to
counter the cyclical bumps and grinds of the free market and its
purported tendency to underproduce jobs and economic output. The toll
has been heavy. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
As the federal government and its central-bank sidekick, the Fed, have
groped for one goal after another — smoothing out the business cycle,
minimizing inflation and unemployment at the same time, rolling out a
giant social insurance blanket, promoting homeownership, subsidizing
medical care, propping up old industries (agriculture, automobiles) and
fostering new ones (“clean” energy, biotechnology) and, above all,
bailing out Wall Street — they have now succumbed to overload, overreach
and outside capture by powerful interests. The modern Keynesian state
is broke, paralyzed and mired in empty ritual incantations about
stimulating “demand,” even as it fosters a mutant crony capitalism that
periodically lavishes the top 1 percent with speculative windfalls. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
The culprits are bipartisan, though you’d never guess that from the
blather that passes for political discourse these days. The state-wreck
originated in 1933, when Franklin D. Roosevelt opted for fiat money
(currency not fundamentally backed by gold), economic nationalism and
capitalist cartels in agriculture and industry. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
Under the exigencies of World War II (which did far more to end the
Depression than the New Deal did), the state got hugely bloated, but
remarkably, the bloat was put into brief remission during a midcentury
golden era of sound money and fiscal rectitude with Dwight D. Eisenhower
in the White House and William McChesney Martin Jr. at the Fed. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
Then came Lyndon B. Johnson’s “guns and butter” excesses, which were
intensified over one perfidious weekend at Camp David, Md., in 1971,
when Richard M. Nixon essentially defaulted on the nation’s debt
obligations by finally ending the convertibility of gold to the dollar.
That one act — arguably a sin graver than Watergate — meant the end of
national financial discipline and the start of a four-decade spree
during which we have lived high on the hog, running a cumulative $8
trillion current-account deficit. In effect, America underwent an
internal leveraged buyout, raising our ratio of total debt (public and
private) to economic output to about 3.6 from its historic level of
about 1.6. Hence the $30 trillion in excess debt (more than half the
total debt, $56 trillion) that hangs over the American economy today. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
This explosion of borrowing was the stepchild of the floating-money
contraption deposited in the Nixon White House by Milton Friedman, the
supposed hero of free-market economics who in fact sowed the seed for a
never-ending expansion of the money supply. The Fed, which celebrates
its centenary this year, fueled a roaring inflation in goods and
commodities during the 1970s that was brought under control only by the
iron resolve of Paul A. Volcker, its chairman from 1979 to 1987. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
Under his successor, the lapsed hero Alan Greenspan, the Fed dropped
Friedman’s penurious rules for monetary expansion, keeping interest
rates too low for too long and flooding Wall Street with freshly minted
cash. What became known as the “Greenspan put” — the implicit assumption
that the Fed would step in if asset prices dropped, as they did after
the 1987 stock-market crash — was reinforced by the Fed’s unforgivable
1998 bailout of the hedge fund Long-Term Capital Management. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
That Mr. Greenspan’s loose monetary policies didn’t set off inflation
was only because domestic prices for goods and labor were crushed by the
huge flow of imports from the factories of Asia. By offshoring
America’s tradable-goods sector, the Fed kept the Consumer Price Index
contained, but also permitted the excess liquidity to foster a roaring
inflation in financial assets. Mr. Greenspan’s pandering incited the
greatest equity boom in history, with the stock market rising fivefold
between the 1987 crash and the 2000 dot-com bust. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
Soon Americans stopped saving and consumed everything they earned and
all they could borrow. The Asians, burned by their own 1997 financial
crisis, were happy to oblige us. They — China and Japan above all —
accumulated huge dollar reserves, transforming their central banks into a
string of monetary roach motels where sovereign debt goes in but never
comes out. We’ve been living on borrowed time — and spending Asians’
borrowed dimes. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
This dynamic reinforced the Reaganite shibboleth that “deficits don’t
matter” and the fact that nearly $5 trillion of the nation’s $12
trillion in “publicly held” debt is actually sequestered in the vaults
of central banks. The destruction of fiscal rectitude under Ronald
Reagan — one reason I resigned as his budget chief in 1985 — was the
greatest of his many dramatic acts. It created a template for the
Republicans’ utter abandonment of the balanced-budget policies of Calvin
Coolidge and allowed George W. Bush to dive into the deep end,
bankrupting the nation through two misbegotten and unfinanced wars, a
giant expansion of Medicare and a tax-cutting spree for the wealthy that
turned K Street lobbyists into the de facto office of national tax
policy. In effect, the G.O.P. embraced Keynesianism — for the wealthy. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
The explosion of the housing market, abetted by phony credit ratings,
securitization shenanigans and willful malpractice by mortgage lenders,
originators and brokers, has been well documented. Less known is the
balance-sheet explosion among the top 10 Wall Street banks during the
eight years ending in 2008. Though their tiny sliver of equity capital
hardly grew, their dependence on unstable “hot money” soared as the
regulatory harness the <a href="http://topics.nytimes.com/topics/reference/timestopics/subjects/g/glass_steagall_act_1933/index.html">Glass-Steagall Act</a> had wisely imposed during the Depression was totally dismantled. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
Within weeks of the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy in September 2008,
Washington, with Wall Street’s gun to its head, propped up the remnants
of this financial mess in a panic-stricken melee of bailouts and
money-printing that is the single most shameful chapter in American
financial history. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
There was never a remote threat of a Great Depression 2.0 or of a
financial nuclear winter, contrary to the dire warnings of Ben S.
Bernanke, the Fed chairman since 2006. The Great Fear — manifested by
the stock market plunge when the House voted down the TARP bailout
before caving and passing it — was purely another Wall Street
concoction. Had President Bush and his Goldman Sachs adviser (a k a
Treasury Secretary) Henry M. Paulson Jr. stood firm, the crisis would
have burned out on its own and meted out to speculators the losses they
so richly deserved. The Main Street banking system was never in serious
jeopardy, ATMs were not going dark and the money market industry was not
imploding. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
Instead, the White House, Congress and the Fed, under Mr. Bush and then
President Obama, made a series of desperate, reckless maneuvers that
were not only unnecessary but ruinous. The auto bailouts, for example,
simply shifted jobs around — particularly to the aging, electorally
vital Rust Belt — rather than saving them. The “green energy” component
of Mr. Obama’s stimulus was mainly a nearly $1 billion giveaway to crony
capitalists, like the venture capitalist <a href="http://topics.nytimes.com/topics/reference/timestopics/people/d/john_doerr/">John Doerr</a> and the self-proclaimed outer-space visionary <a href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/m/elon_musk/index.html">Elon Musk</a>, to make new toys for the affluent. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
Less than 5 percent of the $800 billion Obama stimulus went to the truly
needy for food stamps, earned-income tax credits and other forms of
poverty relief. The preponderant share ended up in money dumps to state
and local governments, pork-barrel infrastructure projects, business tax
loopholes and indiscriminate middle-class tax cuts. The Democratic
Keynesians, as intellectually bankrupt as their Republican counterparts
(though less hypocritical), had no solution beyond handing out borrowed
money to consumers, hoping they would buy a lawn mower, a flat-screen TV
or, at least, dinner at Red Lobster. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
But even Mr. Obama’s hopelessly glib policies could not match the
audacity of the Fed, which dropped interest rates to zero and then
digitally printed new money at the astounding rate of $600 million per
hour. Fast-money speculators have been “purchasing” giant piles of
Treasury debt and mortgage-backed securities, almost entirely by using
short-term overnight money borrowed at essentially zero cost, thanks to
the Fed. Uncle Ben has lined their pockets. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
If and when the Fed — which now promises to get unemployment below 6.5
percent as long as inflation doesn’t exceed 2.5 percent — even hints at
shrinking its balance sheet, it will elicit a tidal wave of sell orders,
because even a modest drop in bond prices would destroy the
arbitrageurs’ profits. Notwithstanding Mr. Bernanke’s assurances about
eventually, gradually making a smooth exit, the Fed is domiciled in a
monetary prison of its own making. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
While the Fed fiddles, Congress burns. Self-titled fiscal hawks like
Paul D. Ryan, the chairman of the House Budget Committee, are terrified
of telling the truth: that the 10-year deficit is actually $15 trillion
to $20 trillion, far larger than the Congressional Budget Office’s
estimate of $7 trillion. Its latest forecast, which imagines 16.4
million new jobs in the next decade, compared with only 2.5 million in
the last 10 years, is only one of the more extreme examples of
Washington’s delusions. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
Even a supposedly “bold” measure — linking the cost-of-living adjustment
for Social Security payments to a different kind of inflation index —
would save just $200 billion over a decade, amounting to hardly 1
percent of the problem. Mr. Ryan’s latest budget shamelessly gives
Social Security and Medicare a 10-year pass, notwithstanding that a fair
portion of their nearly $19 trillion cost over that decade would go to
the affluent elderly. At the same time, his proposal for draconian 30
percent cuts over a decade on the $7 trillion safety net — Medicaid,
food stamps and the earned-income tax credit — is another front in the
G.O.P.’s war against the 99 percent. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
Without any changes, over the next decade or so, the gross federal debt,
now nearly $17 trillion, will hurtle toward $30 trillion and soar to
150 percent of gross domestic product from around 105 percent today.
Since our constitutional stasis rules out any prospect of a “grand
bargain,” the nation’s fiscal collapse will play out incrementally, like
a Greek/Cypriot tragedy, in carefully choreographed crises over debt
ceilings, continuing resolutions and temporary budgetary patches. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
The future is bleak. The greatest construction boom in recorded history —
China’s money dump on infrastructure over the last 15 years — is
slowing. Brazil, India, Russia, Turkey, South Africa and all the other
growing middle-income nations cannot make up for the shortfall in
demand. The American machinery of monetary and fiscal stimulus has
reached its limits. Japan is sinking into old-age bankruptcy and Europe
into welfare-state senescence. The new rulers enthroned in Beijing last
year know that after two decades of wild lending, speculation and
building, even they will face a day of reckoning, too. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
THE state-wreck ahead is a far cry from the “<a href="http://www.federalreserve.gov/boarddocs/speeches/2004/20040220/">Great Moderation</a>”
proclaimed in 2004 by Mr. Bernanke, who predicted that prosperity would
be everlasting because the Fed had tamed the business cycle and, as
late as March 2007, <a href="http://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/testimony/bernanke20070328a.htm">testified</a>
that the impact of the subprime meltdown “seems likely to be
contained.” Instead of moderation, what’s at hand is a Great
Deformation, arising from a rogue central bank that has abetted the Wall
Street casino, crucified savers on a cross of zero interest rates and
fueled a global commodity bubble that erodes Main Street living
standards through rising food and energy prices — a form of inflation
that the Fed fecklessly disregards in calculating inflation. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
These policies have brought America to an end-stage metastasis. The way
out would be so radical it can’t happen. It would necessitate a sweeping
divorce of the state and the market economy. It would require a
renunciation of crony capitalism and its first cousin: Keynesian
economics in all its forms.</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
The state would need to get out of the
business of imperial hubris, economic uplift and social insurance and
shift its focus to managing and financing an effective, affordable,
means-tested safety net. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
All this would require drastic deflation of the realm of politics and
the abolition of incumbency itself, because the machinery of the state
and the machinery of re-election have become conterminous. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
Prying them
apart would entail sweeping constitutional surgery: amendments to give
the president and members of Congress a single six-year term, with no
re-election; providing 100 percent public financing for candidates;
strictly limiting the duration of campaigns (say, to eight weeks); and
prohibiting, for life, lobbying by anyone who has been on a legislative
or executive payroll. It would also require overturning Citizens United
and mandating that Congress pass a balanced budget, or face an automatic
sequester of spending. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
It would also require purging the corrosive financialization that has
turned the economy into a giant casino since the 1970s. This would mean
putting the great Wall Street banks out in the cold to compete as
at-risk free enterprises, without access to cheap Fed loans or deposit
insurance. Banks would be able to take deposits and make commercial
loans, but be banned from trading, underwriting and money management in
all its forms. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
It would require, finally, benching the Fed’s central planners, and
restoring the central bank’s original mission: to provide liquidity in
times of crisis but never to buy government debt or try to micromanage
the economy. Getting the Fed out of the financial markets is the only
way to put free markets and genuine wealth creation back into
capitalism. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
That, of course, will never happen because there are trillions of
dollars of assets, from Shanghai skyscrapers to Fortune 1000 stocks to
the latest housing market “recovery,” artificially propped up by the
Fed’s interest-rate repression. The United States is broke — fiscally,
morally, intellectually — and the Fed has incited a global currency war
(Japan just signed up, the Brazilians and Chinese are angry, and the
German-dominated euro zone is crumbling) that will soon overwhelm it.
When the latest bubble pops, there will be nothing to stop the collapse.
If this sounds like advice to get out of the markets and hide out in
cash, it is. </div>

Follow below some revealing articles of one of New York State Police finest?<br />

We walk through this life with being made to obey mans' "rule of law", but is such fair and balanced when those who are to "protect and serve" citizens are found guilty of breaking the same laws they are to enforce?<br />
<br />
What about the special treatment they receive with regards to punishment and/or penalties?<br />
Do they receive the same or less?<br />
<br />
And what about his involvement with an organization such as the New Brotherhood
Motorcycle Club? Could Titus Z. Taggart also be a racist? How many citizens did he put away and/or in harms way if he is?<br />

BUFFALO,
N.Y. (AP) - A former state trooper who was fired for organizing
off-duty parties featuring prostitutes avoided a jail sentence on
Wednesday.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Titus Taggart was sentenced in Buffalo to three years of probation and 300 hours of community service.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>PHOTO GALLERY | <a href="http://interactives.wivb.com/photomojo/gallery/2585/1/">Taggart posted many photos from these parties online. You can see some of them here</a></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b> </b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Taggart
pleaded guilty in Erie County Court in December to promoting
prostitution and had faced as much as a year in jail on the misdemeanor
count. The plea came eight months after the 18-year veteran was
suspended by state police as they investigated allegations that he threw
off-duty parties with prostitutes.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Judge Kenneth Case said he
decided against jailing Taggart because of the economic loss he has
already suffered by losing his job and because of a number of letters
supporting Taggart. He chastised the ex-trooper for dishonoring the
police agency.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The 42-year-old Taggart had been assigned to the
Thruway detail in Buffalo. Four other western New York troopers were
also accused of misconduct and disciplined during the investigation.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Prosecutors said Taggart's party-organizing included bringing prostitutes across the border from Canada.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
One
of the parties was held in November 2011 at the New Brotherhood
Motorcycle Club. Court papers cited by the Buffalo News described a
group of men gathered to watch a pay-per-view broadcast of a boxing
match as 10 strippers performed and alcohol was illegally served.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Internal
affairs investigators who'd been tipped off about Taggart organizing
the party reported seeing the four other troopers there as well,
according to the documents.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
One was fired for condoning the
illegal activity and two resigned after admitting they paid for sex
acts, the newspaper reported in December. Another remains a trooper
after being suspended for 60 days for getting drunk at the party,
according to the court documents.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Taggart is the son of retired
state police Col. Arthur Taggart, who was a special assistant to former
state police Superintendent Thomas Constantine.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Titus Z. Taggart, an 18-year veteran of the State Police who was
fired last summer after an internal investigation into allegations he
was involved with off-duty parties involving prostitutes, pleaded guilty
Monday to promoting prostitution.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Taggart, 42, of Amherst, faces
up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine after admitting to the
misdemeanor charge in Erie County Court.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Prosecutor Paul E.
Bonanno said the months-long State Police investigation revealed Taggart
organized, advertised and supervised exotic dance parties involving
dancers and prostitutes.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Taggart’s plea stemmed from such a party at 45 Miller Ave., which Bonanno described as a motorcycle club.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The
fired trooper became the subject of an investigation last December into
reports that he brought prostitutes from Canada into the United States
for off-duty parties.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Taggart was last assigned to patrol the Thruway in Western New York.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“It is an understatement to say this defendant exercised poor judgment,” Bonanno said.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The
Erie County District Attorney’s Office agreed to the plea because
Taggart’s police career is over, and he has suffered severe financial
consequences as a result of his firing, Bonanno said.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Taggart has no prior criminal history.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Taggart’s attorney, Michael G. O’Rourke, declined to comment after the court hearing.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Erie
County Judge Kenneth F. Case allowed Taggart to remain free on his own
recognizance, but Taggart was told to report immediately to the District
Attorney’s Office after the hearing to be processed.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Taggart’s
Facebook page – which was disabled April 26 after numerous photos
showing him with women and large bottles of liquor appeared in the media
– included 1,634 “friends.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The District Attorney’s Office waited to prosecute the former trooper until after the State Police investigation was completed.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Taggart and O’Rourke heard the evidence against the trooper during that investigation, Bonanno said.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“I
think it’s fair to say the defendant and Mr. O’Rourke know the evidence
better than I do,” the prosecutor said during Monday’s 15-minute
hearing.</div>

BUFFALO,
N.Y. (WIVB) - Three troopers have now been suspended without pay for
their alleged involvement with parties that had prostitutes.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Trooper
Titus Taggart is accused of organizing parties that involved
prostitutes while he was off-duty.<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
An internal investigation has been
ongoing since December of 2011, and Taggart was suspended Wednesday. The
trooper is an 18-year veteran of the force and was based out of Troop T
in Buffalo.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
The picture with this story was an image Taggart
reportedly used in promotion of his alleged parties.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The Buffalo News
reports those parties included food, drinks, and "loose girls."
Investigators believe the trooper transported prostitutes from Canada
into western New York.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b> </b></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Later
in the day on Thursday, two other state troopers were suspended. Jeremy
Smith, 34, and Michael Petritz, 33, were both suspended without pay in
connection to the investigation. Smith, a 10-year veteran, and Petritz,
an 8-year veteran, were both based out of Troop T in Henrietta.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Authorities
say though Smith and Petritz were not involved in organizing the
alleged parties held by Taggart, but they are accused of engaging in
misconduct.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
There have been no arrest in the investigation, which continues.</div>

Fiji police have launched an investigation into a horrific video showing the beating of a prisoner. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The 9-minute, 11-second video has been condemned by Amnesty
International which earlier said the footage was consistent with
information they have received on how the Fiji police and military have
treated runaway prisoners. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Police Commissioner Brigadier General Ioane Naivalurua this evening
said every one in Fiji was “disturbed to see the video that has emerged
of what appears to be the abuse of two men who, at this stage, we
understand to be recaptured prisoners.” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A thorough investigation to establish the circumstances of this incident has been ordered, he said.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Naivalurua said that some of the international reporting on this incident was wrong. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“We know that the men who appear in this video are not the prisoners
who escaped from Naboro last year. We have already established this.” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When the video appeared early this morning sources involved in its
release, and several anti-regime blogsites said one of the men being
beaten was escaped prisoner Epeli Qaraniqio who was captured in
September four days after escaping. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
He was so severely beaten his leg had to be amputated. Fiji's military claimed he had lost his leg due to diabetes. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There was another escape in November by three men including bank-robber Iowane Benedito, 24. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
His capture was announced 10 days later and when he was bought to court he was on crutches and in evident pain. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It is now known the beaten man is Benedito. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Naivalurua said Fijian security agencies have worked tirelessly over
the past few years to give protection and security to ordinary Fijians
who suffered through constant home evasions, robberies and violent and
wanton crimes. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“These crimes were perpetrated by a group of criminals with impunity
and who had absolutely no regard for lives of ordinary Fijians, respect
for basic human dignity and the law.” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Shot by someone in authority, the video shows a man being beaten
with heavy sticks and a truncheon, as well as being sexually brutalised.
Another man is also seen being attacked and an officer is heard saying:
"set the dog on him." </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The dog hauls the handcuffed man across the ground. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The beatings are administered by plain clothed men speaking Bauan -
the official language of Fiji - and at one point one of the men says, as
he is beating the person; "you have given us so much work..." </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
He taunts the man: "You going to escape again?" </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
To which the man says "no". </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The officers accuse the man in the ute of "planning this escape" -
they say in Fijian: "This escape was your doing - you planned it." </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As he is being hit, the officers as saying "Dro tale, dro..." which means "escape again, escape..." while beating his legs. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
One of Fiji's national heroes, former All Black winger Joe Rokocoko, has spoken out against it. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"Really sad/upset to see some of our people in the Pacific (Fiji)
being tortured/humiliated in a manner no one deserves," he tweeted. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"Pray 4 change." </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Amnesty New Zealand executive director Grant Bayldon said torture
was unacceptable under any circumstances and those responsible should be
brought to justice. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"The humiliation of the men and their injuries which are also
evident in the video is very serious.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Forced to undress and harassed by a
dog, as men nearby laugh, it is difficult to watch. The subsequent
brutal beating with batons is harrowing. It is torture." </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Fiji has been under military rule since December 2006. It has been
marred by a number of incidents of brutality towards civilians, several
of which have resulted in death. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The Fijian government has promised democracy restoring elections by late next year.

<div style="text-align: center;">
Watch and/or listen to the video at the end of this article of<span style="font-size: large;"> </span>Stephen Slevin expressing thoughts after the conclusion of a trial against the so called "Justice System" which proved to anything but "Justice". Mr. Slevin was arrested in August of 2005 for driving while intoxicated, then thrown in solitary confinement for two years at the Dona Ana
County, New Mexico, U.S.A. jail.<br />
<br />
During the two (2) years of his civil rights being violated, Stephen Slevin's mental health deteriorated, fungus
grew on his skin, and he was forced to pull his own tooth after being
denied access to a dentist.<br />
<br />
Initially, Slevin was awarded $22 million by a jury, but Dona Ana
County appealed. The two parties reached an agreement this week.
According to <a href="http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/03/06/17212442-man-left-in-solitary-confinement-for-2-years-gets-155-million-settlement?lite">NBC News</a>,
Slevin's attorney, Matt Coyte, said his client's "mental health has
been severely compromised from the time he was in that facility. <br />
<br />
"Why they did what they did, I'll never know," Slevin told <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eX66sHLeEoM">KOB4-TV</a>. "Walking by me, watching me deteriorate day after day after day, and they did nothing at all to get me help."<br />

"Justice" and those using it bringing harm unto others, need to be held
accountable. Although no amount of money will be able to bring back lost
time, undo any abuses that are encountered, nor undo any Spiritual,
physical and/or mental Corruption that is endured, it can prove to be at
the least a start to head in a direction away from the evil endured.<br />
<br />
According to Jess Williams, the Dona Ana County public information officer, no jail
personnel have been fired over Slevin's inhumane treatment. However, he said, the
jail has been working to improve the care it provides for mentally ill
inmates. <br />
<br />
What is wrong though within the "Justice System" is that those who are guilty of such evils aren't actually held accountable in MOST instances. The "Justice System" in more cases than not, protects such people and as last resorts, pays out some of the taxpayers money for crimes the actual perpetrators should be accountable for.<br />

In a statement released by the Dona Ana County Commission, the jail also
outlined plans for a crisis triage center "that will help stabilize
mentally-ill persons who have committed no crimes but who represent a
danger to themselves or others in the eyes of law-enforcement
professionals." But who is watching the watchers? Yes, who is making sure that these people within the "Justice System" presenting themselves as being sane, yet actually DO commit such inhumane acts as what Stephen Slevin endured are held personally accountable? Shouldn't their sanity be checked?<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">According to Matt Coyte, Slevin's attorney, greed on the county’s part was partially to blame.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">But it takes human intervention to <span style="font-size: small;">bring about "greed", so therefor someone and/or some people are actual<span style="font-size: small;">ly the <span style="font-size: small;">guilty</span> ones.</span></span></span> </span><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
He further said there's still one more change that needs to be made: Dona Ana County Jail's warden.<br />
<br />
"If
you were in the trial and heard what the person who ran the facility
said, you would be appalled," Coyte said. "I get lots of people
[inmates] calling from that jail asking for help. Am I pleased that
they've spent more money in the jail? Absolutely. I'm pleased that Mr.
Slevin's case has made a difference in the jail. But the same people are
running it, and it's an attitude of how you run something."<br />
<br />
A common and much to widely abused excuse and/or scapegoat tactic used by those who falsely represent themselves as being humane, rights/law abiding and/or righteous is to project "mental" Corruptness as being the problem. But not mental Corruptness upon their part!<br />
<br />
The "Justice System" is severely biased when evil doers within the system can get away with their crimes and all that is done as restitution is to pay out money that is not theirs. Basically, the taxpayers paid Stephen Slevin for crimes he was well deserving of restitution for, but none of the actual guilty humans were held accountable, nor paid for their evils from their own pockets. It is high time that those guilty of the evils be known and held accountable, even, and especially, when they are collecting a paycheck from their employers: "We the People".</div>

<h3>
(Reuters) - Giuseppe Orsi, the chairman of Italian air defense
group Finmeccanica who was arrested this week over his alleged
involvement in a corruption scandal, has resigned his position,
Orsi's lawyer said on Friday.</h3>
<br />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7813123540939760566" name="midArticle_0"></a>Orsi has also tendered his resignation
as a Finmeccanica board member, the lawyer, Ennio Amodio, told
reporters.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7813123540939760566" name="midArticle_1"></a>Orsi, who was questioned by prosecutors
on Friday, faces allegations of paying bribes to win a
560-million-euro contract for the company's AgustaWestland unit to
supply helicopters for use by senior Indian politicians. Orsi has
denied any wrongdoing.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7813123540939760566" name="midArticle_2"></a>On Wednesday Finmeccanica appointed
company insider Alessandro Pansa as Chief Executive, a position
formerly held by Orsi.<br />

Those who are even with thought of committing "rape" are Spiritually and/or mentally Corrupt. Using "man's laws" and/or ways of manipulating around the truth without actually helping those who are capable of such a horrible act such as rape, is Corruption upon society, and no good will come from it.<br />

<br />
This rape case, not unlike many, try to hide the realism of where society is today.<br />
<br />
Do we actually know who are put into power and/or control of our young?<br />
What are their real hidden morals and values that too often, more times than not, takes tragedy to Expose them. What is even worst, is when those who are Exposed, try their best to not be forthright with coming out with the Truth. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
On December 23, 2012 a cell within
Anonymous called "Knight Sec" took up the cause of giving a voice to the
victim of this horrible crime, and began unraveling this conspiracy of
silence designed to protect a group of these high school football
players who had become well known to their fellow students as "The Rape
Crew". Fueled by intelligence they had received from many students at
Big Red High School, they launched Operation RollRedRoll by releasing
this video. Take careful note of the various screen capture images of
pictures taken by these monsters of this poor defenseless girl, and note
their many comments made in tweets and Facebook posts regarding their
crime (now since deleted). (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02fGVKui7-o" target="_blank">more</a>)<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
LAST WEEKEND, more than 1,000 people gathered in Steubenville, Ohio, a
small town with a history of high school football glory, to support the
victim of an alleged rape. These kinds of rallies happen from time to
time, largely on college campuses. What made this one striking was the
fact that many protesters were wearing Guy Fawkes masks.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Those masks are a trademark of Anonymous, the shadowy collective of
hackers that has taken on Steubenville as a vigilante cause. In terms of
criminal justice, this is far from ideal. But for our culture at large,
it represents an unlikely glimmer of hope.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The Steubenville story began with old power dynamics, the ones that
stem from a mix of athletic glory, power, and sex. At a series of
parties last August, according to news reports, a 16-year-old girl,
unconscious due to alcohol or drugs, was allegedly gang-raped by at
least two members of the beloved Steubenville High School football team.
The girl learned about the attacks the next day, the press reported,
after various boys posted photos and mocking tweets — which they later
deleted — on social media.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Two of the football players were charged, as juveniles, with rape.
Their trial begins next month. But some locals, including a crime
blogger, kept hammering at the story, claiming town officials were
protecting other athletes, circling around a subgroup that is treated as
untouchable. Last month, <a class="a" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/17/sports/high-school-football-rape-case-unfolds-online-and-divides-steubenville-ohio.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0">The New York Times published a long</a>, meticulously researched account, which included a pointed threat to a reporter from the high school football coach.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Then Anonymous took up the cause.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Up to this point, Anonymous has been best known for targeting
governments, corporations, and the Church of Scientology. This time, the
group’s members hacked into the football team’s Web page.<br />
<br />
They posted
the names of Steubenville athletes they were targeting for revenge, and
published what they said were leaked accounts of the night’s events.
They used their skills to dig up artifacts of social-media braggadocio,
including a 12-minute video of a kid who seems — though there’s no
on-camera evidence of this — to be joking about a rape that is actually
taking place nearby.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When I described the Steubenville story to Tobe Berkowitz, a
communications professor at Boston University, the first thing he
mentioned was “Duke lacrosse,” the 2006 rape case that has become
accepted shorthand for rumors and false accusations. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“The fine line between ‘joke’ and ‘incriminating’ has all but
vanished,” Berkovitz said. And he’s right: There is something deeply
problematic about a public shaming campaign that doesn’t have to abide
by standards of journalism or legal evidence. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Anonymous members don’t have to account for what they do. They don’t
have to reveal their own names or show their faces. Their webcam threats
have a theatrical quality, with computerized voices and canned lines
like “You have attracted the attention of the hive.” You get the sense
that they’re high on their own role-playing game, thrilled at playing
high-tech action heroes.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But on another level, they’re doing a cultural service, using their
particular set of Internet tools to change some longstanding power
dynamics. In a “revenge-of-the-nerds” sort of way, Anonymous is shifting
the stigma from rape victims to rape perpetrators — and to the likes of
the kid in the 12-minute video, who is infamous now, his college
flooded with demands that he be expelled.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Maybe all of that attention is fair. Maybe not. There’s a legal
difference — a moral one, too — between making disgusting, misogynistic
jokes and standing by when a crime occurs. (Steubenville officials have
posted a <a class="a" href="http://steubenvillefacts.squarespace.com/info/">fact sheet</a>, outlining their limitations as they prosecute the case.) </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But the Internet doesn’t care much about legal distinctions. And
these suffering athletes might at least serve as a cautionary tale. The
fury that Anonymous has unleashed, after all, lays bare the problem with
glorifying kids who happen to be good at throwing balls — and the
problem with assuming that “unconscious” is the same thing as “consent.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Maybe the Steubenville case will prompt kids at high school and
college parties to think twice about what they do and how they act.
Maybe it will prompt parents and coaches to offer some sound and pointed
advice. Maybe this will mark the moment when shame starts to outweigh
glory. And maybe that’s when things will actually start to change.</div>

A <a class="inline_link" href="http://www.examiner.com/topic/rape">rape</a> case involving a West Virginia teenager and at least two <a class="inline_link" href="http://www.examiner.com/topic/football">football</a> players at a popular <a class="inline_link" href="http://www.examiner.com/topic/ohio">Ohio</a> high school has galvanized the nation, with Internet hacker group Anonymous leading accusations that the <a class="inline_link" href="http://www.examiner.com/topic/steubenville">Steubenville</a> police department engaged in a small-town cover-up.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Public protests against the perceived lax investigation led
Steubenville city officials to setups a website called
SteubenvilleFacts.org, ostensibly to keep the public informed of
accurate case updates amid a flurry of online rumors, gossip, and
outrage about the rape, which occurred last August according to reports. </div>

into the case first shined a negative spotlight onto Steubenville and

and videos implicating almost a dozen men and boys involved in the
incident and its cover-up.</div>

One of the most devastating and talked-about videos shows one of the teenagers -- now an admitted student at <a class="inline_link" href="http://www.examiner.com/topic/osu/articles">OSU</a>
-- cracking jokes and bragging about the sexual assault on the
sixteen-year-old girl. The victim was purportedly unconscious for much
of the attack.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Said Steuebenville Police Chief Bill McCafferety of the damaging video:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<blockquote>
"Early in the case, during the first week, we were made
aware of this incident and we obtained this video. I too, as well as all
my officers who investigated this, were appalled by the morally inept
statements made."</blockquote>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Combined with Deadspin's publication of a plethora of callous tweets
from Steubenville teens cheering the rapists and blaming the victim have
made Steubenville, Ohio perhaps the most infamous small town in America
after Newtown, Connecticut last month.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
(TheBlaze/AP) — Authorities investigating rape accusations against two high school football players in eastern Ohio <a href="http://steubenvillefacts.squarespace.com/" target="_blank">launched a website</a>
Saturday as interest in the case balloons, a step designed to combat
the misconception “that the football team runs the city,” the city
manager said.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Two 16-year-old boys are set for trial next month in juvenile court
in Steubenville, a town of about 18,000, on charges that they raped a
16-year-old girl in August. Their attorneys have denied the charges in
court, but public interest in the case exploded with the online
circulation this week of a roughly <a href="http://www.theblaze.com/stories/video-of-steubenville-high-school-students-joking-about-alleged-gang-rape-leaked-by-hacktivist-group/" target="_self">12-minute video</a> purportedly showing another young man “joking” about the accuser.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Among other comments, the boys can repeatedly be heard joking about how the girl– who seems to be passed out– is “dead.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“They peed on her. That’s how you know she’s dead, because someone
pissed on her,” he says, later adding that she was raped “quicker than
Mike Tyson raped that one girl.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
Here is the entire video (<i>warning: extremely disturbing and graphic</i>):<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
The video was reportedly released by hackers who allege that more people were involved and should be held accountable.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
One aim of the website, City Manager Cathy Davison said, is to combat
a common perception that Steubenville High School – home of the “Big
Red” sports program – controls politics in a small city where special
prosecutors and a visiting judge are handling the case because local
authorities knew people involved with the football team.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
“When people are saying that our police department did not follow
procedure, that the football team runs the city, that is not the case,”
Davison said. “They went by the book. Everything was handled in an
above-board fashion to make sure that the case can benefit from the
fullest extent of the law.”</div>

<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/05/steubenville-rape-protests_n_2416820.html" target="_blank">According</a>
to Reuters, Jefferson County Sheriff Fred Abdalla is under particularly
heavy fire, having to respond to an impromptu “Occupy Steubenville”
Saturday.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“I’m not going to stand here and try to convince you that I’m not the
bad guy,” he said, as the crowd reportedly booed. “You’ve already made
your minds up.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
He also weighed in on the video, which he said he first saw three days ago.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“It’s a disgusting video,” he remarked. “It’s stupidity. But you can’t arrest somebody for being stupid.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Intended to sort fact from fiction, the Steubenville website has the
appearance of a legal briefing, with black type on a white background,
providing an intentional departure from escalating emotions over the
case and how it’s been handled. It provides a timeline of the case,
summaries of Ohio laws that affect sex charges, online posts and
reaction to them and a pledge of transparency.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“It looks very generic, but it was meant to be (that way), because
it’s just the facts. There’s nothing flowery about it,” said Davison.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The site– hoping to reiterate that police are not more loyal to high
school football than to the law– explains that only a handful of police
officers attended local schools, and that the city manager herself is
not even from Ohio. Its launch followed the hiring of a consultant who
is helping the city handle a barrage of media attention sparked by the
case.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It was sponsored by both the city and police officials.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
But the site specifically declares it “is not designed to be a forum for how the Juvenile Court ought to rule in this matter.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Steubenville sits in a region of the state that’s benefited
economically from a recent shale gas drilling boom, and Steubenville got
a boost when it was selected as the site of Gov. John Kasich’s 2012
State of the State address, the first held outside the Statehouse in
recent memory.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Steubenville is a fantastic place to live, work and play,” said
Davison. “We have warm and loving people here, and this incident could
be anywhere in America or the country or the world, and it’s really
unfortunate that it’s tarnishing the city’s reputation.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As investigation continues, it has spurred heated commentary online.
Some support the defendants and question the character of the teenage
girl, while others allege a cover-up or contend more people should be
charged.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The latter group includes hacker-activists associating under the
Anonymous and KnightSec labels, who point to comments they say were
posted around the time of the alleged attack on social media by people
who are not charged.</div>

As Steubenville, Ohio, prepares for the high-profile rape trial of two
high school football players, officials, battling allegations of a
cover-up, announced the creation of a new website today to debunk rumors
and create what they said would be a transparent resource for the
community. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"This site is not designed to be a forum for how the Juvenile Court ought to rule in this matter," the website, called <a href="http://steubenvillefacts.squarespace.com/" target="external"">Steubenville Facts</a>, said. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A timeline of the case, beginning with the alleged <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Sports/wireStory/football-sex-charges-ohio-prompt-website-18139027#.UOiOGGf6V3A">gang rape</a>
of a 16-year-old girl at a party on Aug. 11-12, 2012, is posted on the
site. Summaries of Ohio law relating to the case and facts about the
local police force including statistics on how many graduated from
Steubenville schools, is included.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The case gained national attention last week when hacking collective <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/video-web-furor-athletes-rape-case-18133773#.UOiORmf6V3A">Anonymous leaked a video</a> of Steubenville high school athletes mocking the 16-year-old female victim and making crude references to the alleged rape. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"It's disgusting, and I've had people calling, numerous people call
here, upset, they have seen it, one woman, two women were crying,
because of what they witnessed," Jefferson County Sheriff Fred Abdalla
said. "It really is disgusting to watch that video." </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Anonymous has called for more arrests, however Steubenville Police have said their hands are tied.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"Steubenville Police investigators are caring humans who recoil and are
repulsed by many of the things they observe during an investigation,"
the website said, addressing the video. "Like detectives in every part
of America and the world, they are often frustrated when they
emotionally want to hold people accountable for certain detestable
behavior but realize that there is no statute that allows a criminal
charge to be made." </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Occupy Steubenville, a grassroots group, estimated 1,300 people attended
a rally today outside the Jefferson County Courthouse, where rape
victims and their loved ones gathered to share their stories.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The father of a teenage rape victim was met with applause when he shared his outrage. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"I've tried to show my girl that not all men are like this, but only a
despicable few," he said. "And their mothers that ignore the truth that
they gave birth to a monster." </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Authorities investigated the case and charged two Steubenville high school athletes on Aug. 22, 2012.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The teenagers face trial on Feb. 13, 2013 in juvenile court before a visiting judge. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Attorneys for the boys have denied charges in court.</div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Steubenville,
Ohio is preparing for a high-profile rape case involving two
16-year-old students who allegedly raped a fellow student and posted
graphic photos, tweets, and video online. The case has only recently
been exposed and called a cover-up by groups such as Anonymous and a
sect known as the KnightSec.</span></h4>

<span style="background-color: black;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">The
case has divided the small town. The two defendants, Trent Mays and
Ma'lik Richmond, are both 16 and have been charged with rape; they are
currently under house arrest after spending two months in jail awaiting
their February trial.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Mays and Richmond were at a large party in
August when they noticed a female student was heavily drunk and possibly
unconscious, according to The New York Times.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">"Richmond was behind her, with his hands between her legs, penetrating her with his fingers, a witness said," the<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/17/sports/high-school-football-rape-case-unfolds-online-and-divides-steubenville-ohio.html?pagewanted=all&_r=1&" target="_blank"> Times </a>reported.
A player allegedly "told the police that he was in the back seat of his
Volkswagen Jetta with Mays and the girl when Mays proceeded to flash
the girl's breasts and penetrate her with his fingers, while the player
videotaped it on his phone."</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">"The player, who shared the video
with at least one person, testified that he videotaped Mays and the girl
'because he was being stupid, not making the right choices.' He said he
later deleted the recording," Police Chief William McCafferty said.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">A
video showing young men discussing the girl's condition and the rape
itself was released by Anonymous and transcribed for viewers by
Jezebel.com. The site also noted that Anonymous has set its targets on
exposing "those who weren't charged but allegedly called themselves 'the
rape crew.'"</span></span><br />
<div class="getfaceBook">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">"She is so raped," one man joked in the video posted by <a href="http://jezebel.com/5972553/anonymous-leaks-horrifying-video-of-stuebenville-high-schoolers-joking-about-raping-a-teenager-deader-than-trayvon-martin?utm_campaign=socialflow_jezebel_facebook&utm_source=jezebel_facebook&utm_medium=socialflow" target="_blank">Jezebel</a>.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">"That's not cool, bro. That's like rape. It is rape. They raped her," another man said in the video.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">The
young men also allegedly urinated and defecated on the victim, adding a
new layer of humiliation and degradation to the case. She didn't even
realize the extent of her attack "until a local paper wrote about it the
next day," The Times wrote.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">No other witnesses were willing to
come forward, and that's when outsiders began to investigate and look at
online media to see if there was evidence against the young men. Crime
blogger Alexandria Goddard put together a catalogue of the tweets,
photos, and videos that were deleted as soon as the news began to
circulate.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">In one <a href="http://www.theatlanticwire.com/national/2013/01/steubenville-high-football-rape-crew/60554/" target="_blank">Facebook</a> post,
the 16-year-old victim was referred to as the "Steubenville 'train
whore' going to parties over there every weekend and foul [expletive]
going down."</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">A blog post on <a href="http://localleaks.blogs.ru/2013/01/01/steubenvillefiles/" target="_blank">LocalLeaks</a> notes
that Anonymous released a video message explaining its plan to expose
all those who were involved if they did not come forward on their own.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">"Fueled
by intelligence they had received from many students at Big Red High
School, they launched Operation RollRedRoll," the site reports. It also
lists all of those involved in the crime and alleged cover-up, from the
sheriff to the prosecuting attorney.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Part of the reason Anonymous
believe there is a cover-up in the town stems from Steubenville High
head football coach refusing to bench the young men involved, or those
even at the illegal party.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">"Approached in November to be
interviewed about the case, Saccoccia said he did not 'do the Internet,'
so he had not seen the comments and photographs posted online from that
night. When asked again about the players involved and why he chose not
to discipline them, he became agitated," The Times wrote.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Right
now the young victim is under police protection. She and her mother have
both received numerous death threats since news of the story broke. She
will have to face her attackers and their supporters in court on Feb.

<span class="storyDateline">LOS ANGELES -- </span>
Los Angeles police are offering grocery store gift cards for guns in a
buyback program that was moved up in the wake of the Connecticut school
shooting. </div>
<div class="storyIntro" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Long lines of cars have formed Wednesday as people turn in
weapons at Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena and the Van Nuys Masonic
Temple.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The anonymous buyback program means weapons can be turned
in with no questions asked. Handguns, rifles and shotguns can be
exchanged for $100 Ralphs grocery store gift cards. Assault weapons earn
a $200 card.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The program, designed to get guns off the streets,
usually is held in May. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa decided to do it now
in the wake of the Dec. 14 shooting rampage in Newtown, Conn.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A buyback last May netted about 1,700 guns.</div>

- Police traded gift cards for guns in Los Angeles on Wednesday, in a
buyback program Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa announced as a crime-fighting
response to the deadly shooting rampage in Newtown, Connecticut.</span></span></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span id="articleText"><span class="focusParagraph"></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span id="midArticle_0"></span>Police officers handed out $200
grocery store gift cards to people who turned in an automatic weapon,
and $100 gift cards to those who provided a handgun, rifle or shotgun.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span id="midArticle_1"></span>Los
Angeles has held an annual gun buyback since 2009, and similar events
have been organized in years past in several other cities, including
Detroit and Boston. Police in San Diego had a buyback earlier this
month.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span id="midArticle_2"></span>Some experts say the
buybacks have little effect in reducing gun violence, but Villaraigosa
touted the buyback program as one step that can be taken in response to
the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, on
December 14 that claimed the lives of 20 children and six adult staff
members.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span id="midArticle_3"></span>The shooter, Adam Lanza, killed himself and also shot to death his mother at the home he shared with her, police said.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span id="midArticle_4"></span>Los
Angeles normally has its gun buyback in May, but Villaraigosa announced
last week that the city would have this special buyback in response to
the Newtown tragedy.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span id="midArticle_5"></span>"There are a
number of things we can do. This is just one of them," Villaraigosa said
on CNN. "We've got to also address the culture of violence that we've
got in this country."</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span id="midArticle_6"></span>At last
count, the Los Angeles gun buyback had collected 1,366 firearms,
including 477 handguns and 49 assault weapons, said Vicki Curry, a
spokeswoman for the mayor.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span id="midArticle_7"></span>The
buyback ended at 4 p.m. local time, but a final tally of guns collected
was not expected to be released before Thursday. In May, the city's
annual gun buyback program collected 1,673 firearms at six locations,
compared to two locations used for the program on Wednesday, Curry said.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span id="midArticle_8"></span>At
each of the locations where the buyback was held, a line of cars
stretched around the block, Curry said. People dropping off their guns
were asked to leave them in the trunks of their cars, where officers
retrieved the weapons. Those surrendering their guns were allowed to
remain anonymous.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span id="midArticle_9"></span>While officials
in Los Angeles and elsewhere have said the gun buybacks help keep
streets safe, a 2004 report by the National Research Council of the
National Academies questioned that conclusion.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span id="midArticle_10"></span>Among
the report's findings were that guns surrendered in buybacks tend to be
old or inherited from previous owners, and not likely to be used in
crime. Also, gun owners find it easy to replace their firearms,
according to the report, which was titled "Firearms and Violence: A
Critical Review."</div>

- Many gun owners fear a ban on assault weapons like one used in the
Connecticut elementary school massacre would be the first step to taking
away their guns, even though the second amendment of the U.S.
Constitution protects the right to bear arms.</span></span></b></span></div>
</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Since a shooting rampage last Friday left 26
people dead at a school in Newtown, Connecticut using a type of assault
rifle called an AR-15, a growing number of politicians have called for a
ban on assault weapons.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"I wept
like a baby when I saw what was happening in Connecticut," recalls
Claude Diehl, 50, a self-employed structural designer in Savannah,
Georgia, who has two daughters of his own. Diehl owns a number of
weapons, including an AR-15 and several Glock 9mm pistols with
high-capacity ammunition clips that gun control advocates want to see
banned.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"Everyone is blaming the
weapon used in this tragedy and calling it an assault weapon," he said.
"But really, what gun isn't an assault weapon in the wrong hands?"</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"If we start with an assault weapon ban, where does it end?"</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="mandelbrot_refrag"><a class="mandelbrot_refrag" href="http://www.reuters.com/video/reuters-tv?videoId=238874220&videoChannel=118066&lc=int_mb_1001">Interviews</a></span>
conducted with gun owners in 10 states on Wednesday elicited a similar
response when they were asked about assault weapon ban legislation
supported by Democratic <span class="mandelbrot_refrag"><a class="mandelbrot_refrag" href="http://www.reuters.com/video/reuters-tv?videoId=238708895&videoChannel=118066&lc=int_mb_1001">President Barack Obama</a></span>.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"I
honestly think a total ban (on guns) is coming," said Ryan Jones, 31,
who works in security in the Detroit area and who proudly boasts he
killed his deer for this season recently with a pistol at 35 yards.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"But if they ever try to take away what founded this country they'll have a major problem."</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"For a start, They'd turn me into a criminal because legal or not I'd still carry a gun to protect my family."</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Gun
owners said that in the wake of the massacre, the focus should be on
better access to mental health for people such as suspected Connecticut
shooter Adam Lanza, or finding ways to prevent guns from ending up in
the hands of the mentally ill.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
INDIVIDUALS, NOT FIREARMS SEEN AS ISSUE</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Lanza
was apparently seen as troubled before last week's rampage, though not
as a risk to others. The weapons he used belonged to his mother, who was
also his first victim.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"A lot of
this comes down to state of mind," said Jose Rodriguez, 47, a gun safety
trainer based in the Chicago area. "If someone wants to commit a crime
like that, they will find a way to do it."</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"The type of gun is not the issue here, the issue is the individual."</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Other
gun owners argued that as America is already awash with so many
firearms, including assault rifles, any ban would have little impact.
The Small Arms Survey, a research project at the Graduate Institute of
International and Development Studies in Geneva, estimated in 2007 that
American civilians owned around 270 million firearms - more than six
times either <a data-ls-seen="1" href="http://www.reuters.com/places/china" title="Full coverage of China">China</a> or India, which both have far larger populations.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"If
someone is planning to break the law, I don't see how a ban will stop
them getting firearms," said Randy Keller, who is training to be a nurse
in Bowling Green, Kentucky, and who owns assault rifles. "Nothing
that's being proposed would have prevented the tragedy in Connecticut
last week."</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
JB Williams, a
conservative activist in Nashville, said he received between 600 and 800
emails a day this week from people concerned their gun rights were
threatened by the "far left."</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"In
many cases gun owners are people concerned with individual rights," he
said. "They see this push to ban assault weapons as part of a broad
attack on many fronts on their individual rights by people who do not
value what is part of the DNA of this country."</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Gun
enthusiasts such as Claude Diehl said the problem America faces is much
broader and cuts much deeper than gun ownership and is a "cultural
issue of the heart."</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"<span class="mandelbrot_refrag"><a class="mandelbrot_refrag" href="http://www.reuters.com/video/reuters-tv?videoId=238708895&videoChannel=118066&lc=int_mb_1001">President Obama</a></span>
spoke at the weekend about protecting children," he said. "But how are
we protecting our children when we kill 3,500 babies a day in America
through abortion?"</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"If they banned
abortion I'd give them all of my guns, every last one of them. But
instead of focusing on the bigger issues, it's easier to go after guns."</div>

<b>Rape is Spiritual and/or mental <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption">Corruption</a></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
According to <a href="http://www.wikipedia.org/">wikipedia</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_in_India"><b>Rape in India</b></a> has been described by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radha_Kumar" title="Radha Kumar">Radha Kumar</a> as one of India's most common crimes against women (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_in_India">more via wikipedia</a>) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
India is a country with already high rates of Corruption. The harm brought unto another with such a <a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/heinous">heinous</a> violation as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape">rape</a>, is not to be tolerated. It must be addressed, and those perpetrating such heinous violations be brought to the fullest extent of the law. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The trauma a person goes through such a violation as rape is traumatic. horrifying and in many cases can scare for ones lie. Some are left with shame and/or guilt for it taking place that even losse of life due to suicide happens.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Rape of another is a problem that should not be lightly addressed, nor somehow be allowed to find its way around law.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bare in mind though, that there have been a multitude of claims of rape which in the end turn out to be one only seeking revenge or harm to the accused.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Such false claims make it only more difficult for those who truly fall victim to rape. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stand firm against RAPE!</div>

"It is a matter of shame that

<div id="yui_3_5_1_21_1356116927124_220">
<br /></div>
In New Delhi and across India, the outpouring of anger is unusual in a
country where attacks against women are rarely prosecuted. The Times of
India newspaper dedicated four pages to the rape Wednesday, demanding
an example be made of the rapists, while television stations debated the
nation's treatment of its women.<br />
<br />
Opposition lawmakers shouted slogans and protested outside Parliament
and called for making rape a capital crime. Cutting across party
affiliations, lawmakers demanded the government announce a plan to
safeguard women in the city.<br />
<br />
<div id="yui_3_5_1_21_1356116927124_216">
<span class="yshortcuts cs4-ndcor" id="lw_1355928027_4">Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde</span> told Parliament he had ordered increased police patrols on the streets, especially at night.</div>
<div id="yui_3_5_1_21_1356116927124_216">
<br /></div>
Shinde said the government has introduced bills to increase the
punishment for rapes and other crimes against women, but they are bogged
down in Parliament.<br />
<br />
Analysts and protesters said the upsurge of anger was chiefly due to
increasing incidents of crime against women and the seeming inability of
authorities to protect them.<br />
<br />
"We have been screaming ourselves hoarse demanding greater security
for women and girls. But the government, the police, and others
responsible for public security have ignored the daily violence that
women face," said Sehba Farooqui, a women's rights activist.<br />
<br />
Farooqui said women's groups were demanding fast-track courts to deal with rape and other crimes against women.<br />
<br />
In India's painfully slow justice system, cases can languish for 10 to 15 years before reaching court.<br />
<div id="yui_3_5_1_21_1356116927124_222">
"We have thousands of rape cases pending in different courts of the country. As a result, there is no fear of law," says <span class="yshortcuts cs4-ndcor" id="lw_1355928027_7">Ranjana Kumari</span>, a sociologist and head of the New Delhi-based Center for Social Research.</div>
<div id="yui_3_5_1_21_1356116927124_222">
<br /></div>
"We want this case to be dealt with within 30 days and not the go the
usual way when justice is denied to rape victims because of inordinate
delays and the rapists go scot-free," Farooqui said.<br />
<br />
Analysts say crimes against women are on the rise as more young women
leave their homes to join the work force in India's booming economy,
even as deep-rooted social attitudes that women are inferior remain
unchanged. Many families look down on women, viewing the girl child as a
burden that forces them to pay a huge dowry to marry her off.<br />
<br />
Kumari says a change can come about only when women are seen as equal to men.<br />
<br />
<div id="yui_3_5_1_21_1356116927124_315">
Rapes in India remain drastically
underreported. In many cases, families do not report rapes due to the
stigma that follows the victim and her family. In other instances,
families may decide not to report a rape out of frustration with the
long delays in court and harassment at the hands of the police. </div>
<div id="yui_3_5_1_21_1356116927124_315">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_5_1_21_1356116927124_315">
Police,
themselves are reluctant to register cases of rape and domestic violence
in order to keep down crime figures or to elicit a bribe from the
victim.</div>

<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_5_1_21_1356116927124_314">
In a sign of the protesters'
fury, Khushi Pattanaik, a student, said death was too easy a punishment
for the rapists, they should instead be castrated and forced to suffer
as their victim did.</div>

<div id="yui_3_5_1_21_1356114098214_203">

The government is seeking life sentences for the assailants, Home Secretary R.K. Singh told reporters Friday.<br />
<br />
"This is an incident which has shocked all of us," he said.<br />
<br />
The attack sparked days of protests across the country from women
demanding that authorities take tougher action to protect them against
the daily threat of harassment and violence. The government said it is
taking steps to address those concerns.<br />
<br />
"There will not be any tolerance for crimes against women," Singh said.<br />
<br />
Bus drivers in New Delhi will be required to display their
identification prominently in the vehicles, buses are now required to
remove tinting from their windows and plainclothes police are being
placed on buses to protect female passengers, he said. In addition,
chartered buses such as the one where the attack occurred will be
impounded if they illegally ply for fares on the streets, he said.<br />
<br />
Authorities are also cracking down on drunk driving and on loitering gangs of drunken youths, he said.<br />
<br />
The victim and a companion were attacked after getting a ride on a
chartered bus following a movie Sunday evening. Police said the men on
the bus gang-raped her and beat her and her companion with iron rods as
the bus drove through the city for hours, even passing through police
checkpoints. The assailants eventually stripped the pair and dumped them
on the side of a road.<br />
<br />

Dr. B.D. Athani, the medical superintendent of Safdarjung Hospital,
told reporters the victim was "stable, alert and conscious," but
remained on a ventilator.<br />
<br />
"We are ready to send the victim to anywhere in the world for
treatment," Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit said. "I have given that
assurance to the parents of the girl that we will give every kind of
help, no matter what it costs."<br />
<br />
Parliamentarian M. Venkaiah Naidu said a special legislative committee would meet next week to take action to protect women.<br />
<br />
<div id="yui_3_5_1_21_1356114098214_260">
The government, Singh said, was
proposing laws to make it easier for attacked women to come forward, to
ensure rape cases are dealt with swiftly in the nation's notoriously
slow court system and for increasing the punishment for the crime to a
possible death sentence.</div>

Last week's case - covered intensively by TV news

week, prompting the authorities to announce measures to make the capital
safer for women. These include increased policing and fast-tracking
court hearings for rape.<br />
<br />
New Delhi, home to about 16 million people, has the
highest number of sex crimes among India's mega cities. Police figures
show rape is reported on average every 18 hours and some other form of
sexual attack every 14 hours in the capital.<br />

Marches, demonstrations and candlelight vigils have

<span style="font-size: x-small;">by <a alt="vivek" href="http://www.firstpost.com/author/vivek" rel="author" style="color: #1a1a1a;" title="vivek">Vivek Kaul</a>

<div class="inner_title" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Late last night while flipping television channels I saw TV Mohandas
Pai, a former CFO and HR Head of Infosys, advocating ‘chemical
castration’ for rapists. A leading television anchor also ran his show
yesterday around the theme and instigated his celebrity panellists in
trying to get them to advocate chemical castration for rapists in India.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">My heart is also thinking along similar lines. It even goes to the
extent of telling me that the rapists should be stoned to death. But my
head tells me even that won’t make a difference.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Any solution is as good as the system that executes it. In a country
like India if anything like chemical castration for committing rapes
becomes the order of the day and the police are pushed to solve rape
cases faster, what are they likely to do? More often than not they will
get hold of some random guy (the homeless, the slum dweller or probably
just about the first person they can get their eyes on) beat the shit
out of him and get him to confess to it. How do we ensure something like
that does not happen? There is absolutely no way to do that.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The other point here is that the police and the judiciary the way
they have evolved in India cater more to the rich and powerful rather
than to those who ‘need’ the system to work for them. How do we ensure
that solutions like ‘chemical castration’ will not be abused by the rich
and the powerful?</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><b><span class="date_ago "> </span></b> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Someone very close to me for the last two years has been caught up
fighting a false case registered against him in New Delhi. All it takes
is a bribe of Rs 15,000-20,000 to the local thanedar to get a false
first information report (FIR) registered. And it takes Rs 500-1000 to
the babu at the court to ensure that the case does not come up for
hearing, every time it is scheduled it. And this in a place like Delhi,
which is the capital of the country. Imagine what must be happening in
small towns and villages across India? The police in this country have
sold out lock, stock and barrel and they shouldn’t be given any further
ways of creating more problems for the citizens of this country.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">What is interesting is the speed with which Delhi Police has acted in
this case and managed to round up most of the rapists. The Delhi High
Court has taken suo motu cognizance of the gang-rape and asked the Delhi
Police to explain how the offence remained undetected.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Yes the citizens of this country are up in arms against what has
happened but that I don’t believe is the real reason why the police and
the judiciary have acted with such speed. The only reason for showing
the speed that the system has is that the rapists come from the lower
strata of the society. They are the ordinary citizens of this country.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">As <i>The Times of India</i> reports “The accused have been
identified as Ram Singh (33), resident of Ravidas Camp at Sector 3, R K
Puram (driver of the bus, DL1PB-0149), his brother Mukesh, 24, (who was
driving during the gang rape), Vinay Sharma, 20, (an assistant gym
instructor in the area), Pawan Gupta, 18, (fruit seller), Akshay Thakur,
26, (bus cleaner) and another cleaner, Raju, 25.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">If the accused had been the sons of the rich and powerful the entire
administration would have by now been working towards getting their
names cleared.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The molestation charges against SPS Rathore, an inspector general of
police were never proved. He got away with more than a little help from
his friends in the government. Manu Sharma, son of Congress politician
Venod Sharma, was first acquitted for the murder of model Jessica Lal.
With the hue and cry that followed the judgement was overturned and
Sharma was sentenced to life imprisonment.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">In 2009, Sharma was allowed a parole of 30 days to attend to his sick
mother and other matters. His mother was later found attending public
functions and Sharma was found partying at a nightclub in Delhi. Matinee
idol Salman Khan had rammed his Toyota Land Cruiser into a bakery in
Bandra on September 28,2002, killing one person and injuring four
others. The case has dragged on for ten years now.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Recently, cop turned lawyer-activist YP Singh revealed that the
“Police had deliberately not taken the job of issuing summons seriously.
Also, Salman was absent 82 times when summoned by the court.” This is
what the rich and powerful in this country can do. The police is at
their beck and call. Loads of rape cases go nowhere because the rich and
the powerful who are the accused simply bribe their way through the
system. When the accused go unpunished or justice takes a long time to
be delivered, it makes rape a way of life for Indian men.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">That brings me to my final point, the male:female sex ratio in India.
As Vivek Dehejia and Rupa Subramanya write in Indianomix – Making Sense
of Modern India “In 2011, the Census estimates that there were 914
girls for every 1,000 boys for the ages 0-6. This is even worse than in
2001, when there were 927 girls for every 1,000 boys. More pointedly,
this ratio is the worst ever since the country’s independence in 1947…In
nature, with no sex selection the observed sex ratio is approximately
1,020 males for every 1,000 females.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">What this tells us is that as a country we have a ‘son’ preference.
And that leads us to sex-selective abortion and even female infanticide.
In simple English we kill our girls before and just after they are
born. Delhi and the neigbouring state Haryana have among the lowest sex
ratios in the country. And it just doesn’t end there. Debraj Ray and
Siwan Anderson have carried out research to suggest that most women who
go missing in India do so as adults than at birth or as children. That
explains India’s highly skewed sex ratio in favour of men.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Dehejia and Subramanya talk about the research of Ray and Anderson in
their book. As they write “They show that about 12 per cent of women in
India are missing at birth: they are probably missing due to sex
selective abortion or infanticide. Another 25 per cent perish in
childbirth. But that’s only a little more than a third of the total.
Another 18 per cent go missing during their reproductive period, which
picks up among other things deaths during childbirth. But a massive 45
per cent of the total number of missing women go missing in adulthood,
something which by definition cannot have anything to do with sex
selection.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Anderson and Ray come up with some more information. “They find that
it’s only in Punjab where the majority of missing women are at birth: in
fact it’s as high as 60 per cent of the excess female mortality in the
state…Two other states show up as having a majority of of their women
missing at birth or in childhood (before the age of 15) and it shouldn’t
surprise you to learn that they’re Haryana and Rajasthan.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Hence, we kill our women before birth, after birth and keep killing
them as they grow up. In a society like this it is not surprising that
men grow up with terribly demented minds and commit heinous rapes like
the one in Delhi.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">People are appalled. And they want instant justice. Chemical
castration. Public hanging. Stoned to death. Anything will do. But what
has happened is sheer reflection of the way India has evolved. Women
being raped day in and day out is a story of Indian evolution.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">And evolution cannot be undone. So we might take to the streets to
protest. Have candle night vigils. Protest on Twitter and Facebook. Call
for chemical castration. Face water cannons from the police. Sing
ballads against the government. Breakdown and cry while speaking in the
Rajya Sabha.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">But things won’t change.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">

<i><a href="http://www.firstpost.com/india/delhi-rape-case-why-women-will-continue-to-be-raped-in-india-563983.html" target="_blank">Yesterday’s post</a>
on the Delhi rape case generated a lot of heat among the readers and I
got a lot of response for it. The responses make my belief even stronger
that women will continue to be raped in India. In this piece I will
address some of the responses that I got and make a case for what I said
yesterday and what I am reiterating today.</i><br />
<br />
<b>Why do you have to be so negative? </b><br />
<br />
This was by far the most common response from the emails I got and
the comments that I read on the first piece. Well, how can I be
positive? A 23-year- old-girl who had her whole life before her has been
raped. Doctors who are treating her have said that they haven’t seen a
worse case of sexual assault in all their lives. And one of the rapists
has said they did what they did to her because she was resisting rape
and biting them. Her intestines have been taken out and if she lives she
won’t be able to eat again.<br />

As the poet Sahir Ludhianvi wrote in <i>Pyasa:</i> “Hum gamzada hai, laaye kahan se khushi ke geet. Denge wahi, jo paayenge iss zindagi se hum.”<br />
<br />
Loosely translated this means that “I am unhappy, where do I get
songs of happiness from? I can only give what I get from this life.”<br />
<br />
Those looking for more positivity can go and watch Salman Khan’s <i>Dabanng 2</i> which releases today.<br />
<br />
And as they watch and enjoy Bhai (as his fans like to call Salman)
bashing up the baddies one more time, they should remember that this
reel life superstar is accused of ramming his Toyota Land Cruiser into a
bakery in Bandra on September 28,2002, killing one person and injuring
four others. Salman has been summoned by the court 82 times till now.
And he has not been present there even once. People like him are a
symbol of the rich and famous in this country who systematically abuse
the system of justice, take it for a ride and ensure that it does not
work.<br />
<br />
<b>Girls get raped because they wear sexy clothes</b><br />
<br />
This is by far the most appalling thing that I have ever heard. One
gentleman who wrote to me had this to say. “Don’t you think girls are
misusing their freedom… our education doesn’t teaches culture it teaches
only history and tradition. When the freedom is given to women…they
should use it n the fruitful way. Wearing jeans below belly proves they
wants(sic) some attraction from opposite genders(sic) of society.”<br />
<br />
Another man wrote in saying, “The simple reason is foreign influence.
we have forgotten our tradational (sic) wearings (sic) and jumping to
foreign culture particularly ladies and young girls of different ages
working or studying wearing very very less cloths(sic) and showing their
figure in a very nasty way. We used to see this type of body showing in
the movies but now a days in every <i>gulli</i> or street you can see a live show. If this type of life style previles (sic) no one can prevent or control rape cases.”<br />
<br />
So these men want us to believe that women are getting raped because
they want to get raped. If this is the attitude prevails even among some
men, then god help us! Let me try and flip this argument around and
explain why this is nonsense of the highest order.<br />
<br />
I see all around me, bare chested men in just their striped shorts, bermudas and pyjamas with long <i>naadas</i>
dangling, and no woman that I know has actually ever expressed the
desire to mob these barely clad men and publically pull their naadas
down. So much for sexually arousing exposure!<br />
<br />
<b>Delhi is a very safe place</b><br />
<br />
Another gentleman who claimed to be a CEO of a company wrote to me to
say that he had been living in Delhi for the last seven years and he
found it to be a very safe place. His 21 year old son whenever he came
to India for his holidays from the US where he is studying partied till
very late in the night and came back home only at around 4am in the
morning and hence that proved that Delhi is a safe place.<br />
<br />
When I asked him what about the girl friends of his son? Did they
party till 4am as well? Pat came the reply. No, they had 11pm deadlines.
Sons can party till 4am because sons don’t get raped.<br />
<br />
Another gentleman wrote to me that Delhi is safe for 99.994% of
females and backed up with some statistical mumbo jumbo. “The media
needs stories to carry on with their TRP’s & viewership so that they
can make more mullah. And we are happy reading the craps which they
serve changing the flavors every now and then so that we don’t get
bored. Killing the girl child is not something new, its there for
centuries in India. Kings wanted their heirs again a male & so had
multiple queens. And so had a male sooner or later, the same is followed
for generation’s. That’s why a <a href="http://www.firstpost.com/topic/place/rahul-gandhi-profile-22423.html" target="_self" title="Rahul Gandhi">Rahul Gandhi</a> leads Congress & not a Priyanka,” he added.<br />
<br />
Delhi (572) has <a href="http://ibnlive.in.com/news/delhi-witnesses-more-rapes-than-the-next-five-metros-put-together/311263-3.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">more</a>
rapes than Mumbai (221), Kolkata (46), Chennai (76), Bangalore (97) and
Hyderabad (59), the next five biggest cities in India, put together.
Guess that makes Delhi a very safe city! There is this small cottage
industry that seems to have sprung up almost overnight trying to defend
Delhi as being safe, as not being the rape capital of India and so on.
If we are not even ready to acknowledge that Delhi is an unsafe city
(and frankly it gives me the creeps) how can we even start addressing
its fascination for raping its women.<br />
<b><br />
It was not your sister/mother/wife who was raped.</b><br />
<br />
One woman wrote in saying this: “Just read your article and I am
speechless reading that. Not in a good sense mind you. Though the facts
that you have mentioned are correct. But as you have said that stoning
these scums is not a solution. Would you have said this if this had
happened to your sister, mother or wife? Would you? try and understand
the pain that girl has gone through. The accused is saying that they
inserted metal rod inside her and when removed that rod some rope was
sticking to it.. that was her intestine man… can you even barely imagine
what she had gone through those 40 mins. keep your loved one in her
shoe and then tell us killing them will not stop this. What will ? I
find you sick who is taking this issue to some other extent.”<br />
<br />
A few other people wrote in along similar lines talking about a rape
in Tamil Nadu and the rapists being killed in an encounter after that.
“This may be ruthless but these kind of punishment will tell others to
be cautious… i would like to recall the Coimbatore incident were a 10
year old girl was raped by two of the car drivers in 2010. The next day
there was a huge cry out in the state , understanding the pulse of
people police immediately swing in to action and he was encountered, the
whole tamil nadu know that this was planned execution by law
enforcement agencies but all people of tamil nadu welcomed it.”<br />
<br />
If we as a society want to stone people to death, kill them in
encounters etc, how does that make us any different from the Taliban?
And as I said in my piece yesterday any solution is as good as the
system that will execute it. In a country like India if anything like
chemical castration and encounter killings for committing rapes becomes
the order of the day and the police are pushed to solve rape cases
faster, what are they likely to do? More often than not they will get
hold of some random guy (the homeless, the slum dweller or probably just
about the first person they can get their eyes on) beat the shit out of
him and get him to confess to it. How do we ensure something like that
does not happen? There is absolutely no way to do that.<br />
<br />
<b>Why can’t we make karate compulsory for women</b><br />
<br />
<b></b>This was another major thought that came across that
women should learn karate/martial arts/boxing for their security
against men. Great idea! But what will a woman do when four men pounce
upon her! Another idea along similar lines was that buses shouldn’t have
filmed window panes. As one gentleman wrote in, “Mr.Harish salve in
NDTV, insisted that the busses (sic) should not be allowed to have
filmed window panes.” Yes, but women are raped in auto-rickshaws, cars,
go-downs, homes, everywhere. What do we do about that?<br />
<br />
But, like all the other writers, you are also just addressing the problem, without any solution.<br />
I got loads of emails asking me for a solution. One woman wrote in
saying “You are the ambassador of media and you should educate the
Janta, by writing about the Laws as to what a layman can ask from the
Government as a form of justice for such miseries.”<br />
<br />
What solution are we talking about? It isn’t rocket science here. We
are not talking about how to get an Indian man on the moon. The solution
is better policing. But the police in this country have sold themselves
out lock, stock and barrel for money. And other than that their
attitude towards rape leads me to believe that women will continue to be
raped.<br />
<br />
As an<a href="http://www.firstpost.com/living/from-the-delhi-police-six-reasons-why-women-deserve-to-be-raped-269957.html" target="_blank"> earlier piece</a>
on this website reported, “Satbir Singh, Additional SHO of Sector 31
Police Station, Faridabad, puts it: “Ladkiya jo hai unko yahan tak yahan
tak (he gestures to mean that women should cover their entire body,
then carries on speaking)…Skirt pehenti hai. Blouse dalti hai; poora
nahi dalti hai. Dupatta nahi dalti. Apne aapko dikhawa karti hai. Baccha
uske taraf akarshit hota hai.” (Girls should be covered from here to
here… They wear skirts, blouses, that don’t cover them fully. Don’t wear
a dupatta. They display themselves. A kid will naturally be attracted
to her.)”<br />
“Sub-Inspector Arjun Singh, SHO of Surajpur Police Station, Greater
Noida, clarifies the position further: “She is dressed in a manner that
people get attracted to her. In fact, she wants them to do something to
her.””<br />
<br />
And why blame the lowly Sub-Inspectors when even the first citizen of
this country does not take rape seriously. As an earlier piece on this
website pointed out, “It is also worth recalling that before demitting
office as President, <a href="http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/pratibha-patil-mercy-petitions-accepted/1/200860.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pratibha Patil commuted the death sentences of several rapists</a>.
A record 30 pardons were granted in double-quick time. Among them was
Santosh Yadav, who was already serving a jail sentence for rape. In
jail, as gardener of the jailer, he and a fellow convict raped the
jailer’s own daughter. He was pardoned by Patil. Dharmender Singh and
Narendra Yadav killed a family of five when their minor daughter
resisted rape. They, too, were pardoned.”<br />
<br />
A women President pardoning rapists. Do I need to say anything more on why I remain pessimistic!<br />

<div class="subheadline" id="yui_3_5_1_21_1356127061775_277" style="text-align: left;">
India
is considering a fast-track court process to expedite rape cases and
step up punishment for sexual violence on the heels of the bus rape
incident that spurred outrage across India.</div>

The gang-rape and beating of a 23-year-old woman on a private bus as it cruised around <a class="inform_link" href="http://www.csmonitor.com/tags/topic/Delhi" target="_self">Delhi</a> Sunday could be the turning point for improvements in the country’s <span class="yshortcuts cs4-ndcor" id="lw_1356119119_4">rape laws</span>.</div>
<div class="first" id="yui_3_5_1_21_1356127061775_214" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_5_1_21_1356127061775_212" style="text-align: left;">
After nearly a week of massive
protests across the capital demanding tougher punishments for rapists
and better protection of women, the parliamentary standing committee
will meet next week to discuss creating fast-track courts for those <span class="yshortcuts cs4-ndcor" id="lw_1356119119_3">accused of rape</span>. </div>
<div id="yui_3_5_1_21_1356127061775_212" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_5_1_21_1356127061775_203" style="text-align: left;">
Proposals for changes in the law
come at a critical time. Many people say there is little deterrent for
rapists: Because of social stigma, few females come forward to report
the crime. Those that do often have to wait years for their cases to be
heard. And even then, the conviction rate is just 34.6 percent,
according to the <span class="yshortcuts cs4-ndcor" id="lw_1356119119_2">National Crimes Record Bureau</span>. <span class="yshortcuts cs4-ndcor" id="lw_1356119119_0">Delhi</span>
has the highest number of rapes in the country, with 572 rapes reported
last year. While Section 376 of the Indian Penal Code lists punishments
of up to a life sentence for rape, those convicted are often let off
after serving only a few months or years.</div>
<div id="yui_3_5_1_21_1356127061775_203" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But fast-track courts could change how people think about such crimes
by expediting the trial period. Proposed amendments would also provide
better privacy for women with in-camera trials, which would keep them
from being in the same room as the accused.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="promotion-tag-p" style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Asia-South-Central/2011/0210/Think-you-know-Asia-Take-our-geography-quiz/Country-I"></a>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
While politicians and activists are encouraged that the public
outrage could push parliament to reform laws, Anil Bairwa of the
Association for Democratic Reforms says fast track courts will not solve
the problem.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_5_1_21_1356127061775_216" style="text-align: left;">
He points to a report released this week that found as many as 27 <span class="yshortcuts cs4-ndcor" id="lw_1356119119_5">Indian politicians</span> in senior positions have rape or molestation cases pending against them.</div>
<div id="yui_3_5_1_21_1356127061775_216" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_5_1_21_1356127061775_295" style="text-align: left;">
“When the politicians passing the legislation and governering states across <a class="inform_link" href="http://www.csmonitor.com/tags/topic/India" target="_self">India</a>
have themselves been accused of rape and molesting women, it really
shows where this country is in its nascent laws to protect women.
Hopefully fast-track courts and stiffer penalties will start bringing
some of these people to task.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Leaders
from all political walks of life have pledged their support to improve
the safety of women in Delhi and across the country. That these normally
polarized politicians could come together on this issue, says Nirmala
Sitharaman, the national spokeswoman for the Baratiya Janta Party (BJP),
shows that politicians are united in their pledge to improve the laws. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_5_1_21_1356127061775_209" style="text-align: left;">
Ms. Sitharaman says the gruesome
case that propelled the issue into the national spotlight shows how
little perpetrators fear punishment: In the Delhi bus <span class="yshortcuts cs4-ndcor" id="lw_1356119119_1">gang rape</span>,
both the woman and her friend who tried to protect her were thrown out
of the moving bus – on a highway on the outskirts of the city, according
to court testimony.</div>
<div id="yui_3_5_1_21_1356127061775_209" style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Though the government may move slow in many areas, the commitment
members of parliament have made to pass new legislation to protect women
is real,” she says. “This terrible act has shaken the policymakers in
this city to their core.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_5_1_21_1356127061775_308" style="text-align: left;">
But not everyone is convinced
change is on the way. The pressure people across the city have been
putting on the government this week must continue, says Dr. Vandana
Prasad of the Ministry of Women and Child Development. “Announcements
for changes in a law can mean something happening in one week or 10
years.”</div>

Does anybody else think that if adults slow down and even stop some of the definitely questionable practices of the me, me, me and the mine, mine, mine training on the children, that they will be able to grow at a more natural rate? How about actually sharing quality time with the children instead of worrying more about make-up, self serving interest, what's on the TV, caring more about the pets well-being...? WOW! maybe then, us adults will act more as we should naturally?<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: orange;">WELL?</span></b></span></span><br />
<br />
Corruption Cripples does in no way play down the tragedy that happened at the Sandy Hook Elementary
School, but this IIO knows that even now those breathing even questionable compassion for the loss of life are working on agendas of profit/gain/control.<br />
<br />
It's not any sort of instrument of choice to bring harm unto another human that is the problem, it is us - humans.<br />
What about all of the human abuse/tragedy/violent films being put out by Liberal Hollywood for profit/gain/control?<br />
What about all of the violent video games by the 1 & 0 communities?<br />
What about all of those really nasty organizations, businesses and/or people that the US government willingly does business with even with knowing of the autocracies that their partners engage in? <br />
Don't loose focus on the real problem or else it will not be fixed, only masked.<br />
<br />
If many of those who shed fake tears actually care about loss of life, especially the lives of children, then way again are so many allowed to be murdered each year in the United States of America only because laws and/or guidelines have been enacted that allows it. <br />
As I have written, the problem is us, not ...!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">December 16, 2012, By: <a href="http://www.examiner.com/nonpartisan-in-national/carl-herman" rel="author">Carl Herman</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
US political leadership has reneged on every promise to save the
lives of helpless children, resulting in the deaths of ~20,000 every day
from preventable poverty. Since the US ongoing lies to care for
children at the 1990 World Summit for Children, <b>nearly 200,000,000 children have died in prolonged agony </b>far more painful than death by gunshot.<br />
<br />
US psychopathy with deaths of children literally ten million times
more than this recent twenty definitively refutes their claims to care
for children, and invalidates their motive for gun control as caring for
innocent lives.<br />
<br />
Despite the US promise to save these innocent children’s lives being
0.7% of our income, and US public willingness to contribute up to 10% of
our income to help the poor, US “leadership” never admit their
dishonored promise to American families and children. Read my <a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/economics-of-ending-poverty-0-7-of-gni-is-all-it-takes">Economics of ending poverty</a> for complete documentation.<br />
<br />
The total number of human beings dead from preventable poverty since
the World Summit for Children is conservatively greater than all deaths
from all wars, murders, and acts of violence in recorded human history.<br />
<br />
As you may know, <a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/how-a-government-teacher-easily-proves-occupy-s-claim-of-us-war-crimes">US direct causality of war-murders is 20-30 million</a> since reneging on treaty law to never use armed attack as foreign policy.<br />
<br />
You will have to read about these facts from alternative media. The six corporations that dominate US media provided this <a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/how-a-government-teacher-easily-proves-occupy-s-claim-of-us-war-crimes">tragic-comic “coverage” on the World Summit for Children</a> and this kind of <a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/why-everyone-should-occupy-us-1-corporate-media-they-lie">“coverage” of wars, debt, and poverty</a> that ongoingly kill millions, harm billions, and loot trillions.<br />
The obvious policy response from Americans should be to disarm and
arrest the criminal 1% who actively kill in unlawful wars, passively
kill through debt and poverty, and then pretend to care about children
as they demand to disarm an American public aware of their crimes and
lies.</div>

When tragedy strikes, we seem to scramble searching for answers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although not every occurrence can be avoided, but what if instead of seeking for the me, me, me and the mine, mine, mine, we as humans take real responsibility with becoming true neighbors. Or is it just too much trouble to do so, and the time we each have is too valuable to ourselves that we have been somehow trained to walk in this fog called life?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Best you realize that we each are responsible for the other before time is no longer yours to rob!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Prayers unto all those affected by this tragedy, and hopes that we - <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human">humans</a> - get the picture that even with all of our advancements to make our lives better, we are digressing.</div>

The gunman in the Newton, Conn., school shooting was prepared for a
massacre: An official with knowledge of the investigation tells The
Associated Press three weapons were found inside Sandy Hook Elementary
School and a fourth weapon was found outside. These weapons are critical
evidence as investigators try to unravel why Adam Lanza killed 20
children and six school workers Friday after killing his mother at their
home. The official was not authorized to speak on the ongoing
investigation and spoke only on condition of anonymity.<br />
<br />
The murder weapon:<br />
<br />
— Bushmaster .223-caliber: lightweight with a high capacity, it also is
popular with law enforcement and the military, and is commonly seen at
shooting competitions. Two men convicted in a series of <a href="http://corruptioncripples.blogspot.com/2012/09/what-beltway-snipers-lee-boyd-malvo.html">sniper killings in the Washington, D.C.-area in 2002</a> used a Bushmaster .223-caliber
rifle that they fired from the trunk of a car at randomly picked
victims. Some models have a detachable magazine that can hold up to 30
rounds. The medical examiner in Connecticut said it appeared all the
children and school staff were shot with the same high-powered rifle,
some repeatedly, some at close range.<br />
<br />
Also found in the school:<br />
<br />
— Glock 10 mm: a larger and more powerful weapon than the widely popular
9 mm, it is in many respects similar to the 9 mm. It is a lightweight
and comparatively affordable weapon that is often used for target
shooting and for personal protection.<br />
<br />
— Sig Sauer 9 mm: considered an upper-tier, quality product, it's
comparatively expensive, and its range of uses include elite military
and police units.<br />
<br />
The Bushmaster and two other weapons were found near the body of Lanza, who killed himself at the school.<br />
<br />
It was not clear the make of the weapon found outside the school.<br />
<br />
Investigators are combing gun shops and ranges in the area, and looking
into the ownership of the weapons involved. Lanza's mother had legally
registered four weapons, and his father had two.<br />
<br />
Three other guns have also been recovered, but it was not clear where
they were found, the official told AP. They were a Henry repeating
rifle, an Enfield rifle and a shotgun.<br />
<br />
Also unclear is which gun the 20-year-old Lanza used to take his own
life or his mother's. The Lanzas autopsies are scheduled for Sunday.<br />

It's not the items of choice being used to bring harm unto others that is the real problem. It is our unwillingness to actually care about our surroundings, especially with being attentive, compassionate, naturally interactive and understanding unto our fellow human being.</div>

Whether you believe or not that the <a href="http://www.nashuapd.com/">Nashua, New Hapshire police</a> were justified with use of such force as tasering a woman, there is one variable which is clear about the whole incident. Xiaojie Li of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton,_Massachusetts">Newton, Massachusetts</a> was in some sort of way or fashion instructed to leave the store, and apparently refused. Think of it like this: Xiaojie Li, a Chinese woman living in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States">United States of America</a> - English is the native language - makes her way to a store she is has been to. To get around guidelines of a particular Apple store's purchase limits, she used tactics. Yes, tactics.<br />
<br />
Now follow along with me while using this colourful descriptive method. You go one day to the zoo and at it is a really big grizzly bear. You are awed by the bear, yet it seems nice to you because you are feeding it. It now becomes full from your feeding it, and expresses its desire of no longer wanting from you. You leave thinking of a way to go back and further control that bear for your own reasons. You show up wearing a bear suit similar to that big ole' grizzly bear you fed before. But things have changed since that grizzly no longer wants your food. It expresses this, yet you think that you are better at knowing what that bear needs, so you do not comply with the bear's wants. Other bears - his friends - see this and come to the aid of one of their own - remember you are only acting like a bear.<br />
<br />
See, resistance is futile since you are in their surroundings, and even the thought of taking them on, is silly and with poor judgement, no matter the language.<br />
<br />
Xiaojie Li should of left the bears surrounding when the snarling bears showed their teeth and not proceed.<br />
<br />
Why again did Xiaojie Li, a non-English speaking person have so much money with her to buy only a couple Apple's?<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: orange;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>WHY?</b></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: orange;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b> </b></span></span> </span><br />
Is there more to this person and the following stories than meets the eye?<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>The Liberal media paints her a victim right from the start, but ...?</b> </span><br />
<span style="color: orange;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>WELL?</b></span></span></span><br />
<br />
Xiaojie Li tempted not only the stores policy, but the police - right or wrong!</div>

In closing, the incident some how escalated to the point potentially harmful force was used.<br />
Had Xiaojie Li just left, how could this of escalated?<br />
Furthermore, she should become familiar with the language and laws of the land she is in - <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States">United States of America </a>-, or maybe it is safer for her to stay home.

<br />
When we go abroad and I have extensively, I know one thing for sure, that taking on police whether fully understanding what they are saying or not may result in something I do not want. So, better to just comply, step back and rethink the situation with clear, at ease thoughts.<br />
<br />
We at Corruption Cripples are not taking any sides in this matter, but have come to realize that using, "Me no understand English" in an English speaking country just does not cut it.<br />
Try the same in China! "Me no speak Chinese".</div>

Nashua Police are saying today that their use of a Taser in arresting a Newton woman Dec. 11 was warranted under the "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Use_of_force_continuum">force continuum,</a>" which
allows for incremental use of force during an arrest – from police
officer presence up to and including deadly force.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://newton.patch.com/articles/nashua-taser-incident-involving-newton-woman-may-be-result-of-language-barrier">Newton, Mass., resident Xiaojie Li, 44, was arrested Tuesday at the Pheasant Lane Mall in Nashua,</a> after she allegedly trespassed at the mall's Apple Store, Nashua Police Capt. Bruce Hansen said.<br />
During the arrest, Nashua police used a Taser to try to subdue
Xiaojie, who is charged with two misdemeanor criminal trespassing
charges.<br />
<br />
Hansen said the Xiaojie had been asked to leave the store two days
earlier by management, after she had been "videotaping" other customers,
Hansen said.<br />
<br />
"They told her to leave and not come back, and she did. Then on Tuesday, she was back in the store around 11 a.m.," Hansen said.<br />
<br />
It was also a day that the store happened to have a police officer
working a detail in the store due to a crowd control problem, Hansen
said.<br />
<br />
"They have an issue with groups of people coming in and one person
providing the money so they can all get in line separately and each buy
multiple items in the store, goods that they then ship overseas and
sell for four-times more money," Hansen said. "In effect, if a group of
10 people do that, they can leave with 20 items."<br />
<br />
Hansen did not say that was the reason Xiaojie was asked to leave.
However, he did say it was the reason Apple frequently hires a police
detail.<br />
<br />
A request for comment from Apple's corporate office by Nashua Patch
about the incident, and their security practices, was not immediately
returned.<br />
<br />
Hansen explained that the store has a policy in place limiting sales
to two items per person. The police detail is designed to discourage
the group purchasing practices.<br />
<br />
"Yesterday happened to be a detail day, and the store manager noticed
this woman in the store as the same woman asked to leave two days
earlier. They told her she was not welcome, and they went back and forth
about it for a period of time. The woman refused to leave. Police
finally intervened," Hansen said.<br />
<br />
"Our officer told her if she didn't leave she'd be placed under
arrest, and her response was, 'Why?' and then 'No!'," Hansen said.<br />
<br />
At that point the officer attempted to place Xiaojie in handcuffs
outside the store, but she resisted and the two ended up on the ground.
Hansen said police were able to place one of Xiaojie's hands in cuffs
but she was twisting on the ground, holding her other arm underneath
her.<br />
<br />
A second officer arrived to assist and after failing to get Xiaojie's other arm into the cuffs, she was Tasered, Hansen said.<br />
<br />
"We felt she understood what was going on, and was not cooperative," Hansen said.<br />
<br />
Xiaojie claims she cannot not speak English and didn't understand why the Apple Store called the police. <a href="http://m.wmur.com/news/Language-barrier-may-be-to-blame-for-Nashua-Taser-incident/-/17440650/17742614/-/15fswx0/-/index.html">In an interview with WMUR, Xiaojie said she was attempting to buy several iPhones for family in China</a>.
Apple employees informed her she was limited to just two, but she
claims she spotted other customers buying more than two phones.<br />
<br />
A nearby shopper caught video of the Taser incident, which shows
police arresting Xiaojie. Viewers can hear the apparent screams from
Xiaojie as well as the buzzing of the Taser.<br />
<br />
Hansen said using a Taser during the arrest was warranted under the
"force continuum," which allows for incremental use of force during an
arrest – from police officer presence up to and including deadly force.
In this instance, a Taser was used rather than pepper spray, due to the
number of other people in an enclosed area.<br />
<br />
"Once you shoot off your pepper spray, it contaminates an area, so
the decision was made to use the Taser in 'drive stun' mode," Hansen
said. He said he viewed the YouTube video of the arrest which was posted
by WMUR.<br />
<br />
"It's not a pleasant experience but it's not designed to be," Hansen said.<br />
<br />
He also noted that Xiaojie had a large amount of money on her – $16,000 in cash – at the time of her arrest.<br />
<br />
"That also tells you something. Any merchant, in this day and age,
that would have a paying customer leave their store – that tells
you they didn't want her business, and they have a right to turn her
away," Hansen said.<br />
<br />
You can see the entry on the Nashua Police Log uploaded here. Xiaojie
is due in court in January to face the two misdemeanor criminal
trespassing charges.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Xiaojie Li bought two of the phones earlier in the week at the
Pheasant Lane Mall in Nashua and wanted to get two more, but was told
she could not. She then ordered them online to be picked up at the same
Apple store. When she tried to pick them up Tuesday, a manager told Li
to leave. She says she didn’t understand.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A police officer tried to escort her out of the store, but says she refused to go and then resisted arrest.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Video from YouTube shows Li struggling with officers on the floor
outside the store. Police eventually pulled out a taser and used it to
subdue Li.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Li’s screams could be heard throughout the crowded mall.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Li’s fiance, John Hugo, spoke to WBZ-TV about the incident. He says,
“They threw her on the ground, they threw her around, they bruised her
all over the place, they handcuffed her way too hard.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“For whatever reason the store didn’t want her there,” says Nashua
Police Captain Bruce Hansen. “And this time of the year, you got to do
something pretty extreme to want a store owner to not want to do
business with you.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry-injected-ad narrow" style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Photos show the injuries Li sustained during the arrest. She claims
other people were allowed to buy more than two iPhones, and was upset
that she was unable to.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Her sense of security is shattered,” says Hugo. “You can tell just
by looking at the poor girl, she wants to go back to China now because
she’s afraid of civil rights violations in America. Think about that.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Li had $16,000 in cash on her at the time of the incident. She has
hired a lawyer to fight her charges, saying police overreacted.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The amount of iPhones you are allowed to buy depends on where you
shop. One Apple Store WBZ-TV called said customers could only buy two a
time. Another said there was no limit. There has been no comment yet
from Apple on this particular case.

Cops use Taser on woman buying too many iPhones</div>

<span class="authorLocation">NEWTON, Mass. — </span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A
local family says a language barrier may have resulted in police using a
Taser on a woman after she tried to buy too many iPhones at a local
mall. Police, however, say the incident isn't that clear cut. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Xiaojie Li, of Newton, said she is embarrassed by Monday's Pheasant Lane Mall in New Hampshire incident.</div>

"So
my mom says she don't know why they called the police, because she
doesn't understand what they are talking about," her 12-year-old
daughter Jiao Jay said.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Jay
said her mother bought two iPhones last Friday, and was told that was
the limit. When she took video of others she claimed were buying more,
the store manager asked her to leave.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The confrontation involving the Taser happened when Li went to the store on Monday to pick up two iPhones she ordered online.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"The
management of the store asked us to have her removed. The officer
approached her, told her she wasn't welcome in the store, and she
refused to leave," Nashua Police Capt. Bruce Hansen said. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Police say the store had issued a stay-away order against Li.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"Two
days prior to that, she had been asked to leave the store by store
personnel for doing something that they didn't want," Hansen said,
referring to Li's photographing other customers in the store.</div>

video posted on YouTube shows Li and police officers on the floor
outside the Apple store at the Nashua mall. The crackle of the Taser and
Li's screams can be heard on the video.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"She
was scared, she didn't understand," said John Hugo, who said he was
Li's fiance'. "I was outraged. You go into a store, and you end up
getting brutalized by the police."</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Hansen said the woman had been resisting arrest for about 15 minutes before a second officer arrived at the scene.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"So
then the police took my mom's phone and tried to take my mom's bag. And
my mom tried to ask them why, and they just threw her to the ground,"
Jay said.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The 44-year-old mother of two was charged with trespassing and resisting arrest.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"My mom feel really upset with what they did," Jay said.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Nashua police see the situation differently. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"She
wasn't mistreated in any way. If she left the store when she was told
to leave the store, it would've been done at that. She was told she was
under arrest after repeatedly being told to leave the store. She didn't
submit to the arrest. The officer used the Taser on her to get her to
submit to the arrest," Hansen said.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
According
to Nashua police policy, Tasers may be used "when the subject has
signaled his/her intention to actively resist arrest in an aggressive,
hostile manner or when a need arises to incapacitate a dangerous,
combative, or high risk subject where other use of force techniques
exposes the officer, the subject or the public to unnecessary danger, or
when other force techniques have been or may be ineffective."</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The
policy continues, "The weapon is a level of force normally required to
overcome passive, defensive, or offensive resistance that is intended as
an act of overt aggression toward the officer where an individual
refuses to comply with verbal instructions." </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Li will be in court in January.</div>

A Massachusetts woman was <a href="http://www.wmur.com/news/nh-news/Language-barrier-may-be-to-blame-for-Nashua-Taser-incident/-/9857858/17742614/-/item/0/-/wvxyq0/-/index.html" target="_hplink">stunned with a Taser</a> and arrested at a New Hampshire mall on Monday, the result of an apparent miscommunication with police. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The trouble started when Xiaojie Li attempted to buy more than two
iPhones at an Apple store at the Pheasant Lane Mall in Nashua, N.H., on
Dec. 7, WMUR reports.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After being told by store employees that she had bought the limit, Li
took video of what she claimed were other customers buying more than
two phones, she said through her 12-year-old daughter who served as an
interpreter. The store manager reportedly asked Li to leave, and issued a
stay-away order for the 44-year-old mother.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Li then ordered two phones online and returned to the store Monday to pick them up. WCVB reported that the woman was <a href="http://www.wcvb.com/news/local/boston-north/Cops-use-Taser-on-woman-buying-too-many-iPhones/-/11984708/17744626/-/item/1/-/10w8m4d/-/index.html" target="_hplink">trying to avoid Massachusetts sales tax</a> on the phones. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"The management of the store asked us to have her removed. The
officer approached her, told her she wasn't welcome in the store, and
she refused to leave," Nashua Police Capt. Bruce Hansen told the
station.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Police said they shocked Li after she resisted arrest. A person in the crowd filmed the incident and posted it to YouTube. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"My mom says she doesn't know why they called the police because she doesn't understand what they are talking about," <a href="http://www.wmur.com/news/nh-news/Language-barrier-may-be-to-blame-for-Nashua-Taser-incident/-/9857858/17742614/-/item/1/-/wvxyq1/-/index.html" target="_hplink">Li's daughter told WMUR</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
However, Nashua Police Chief John Seusing said that was not a factor in the arrest.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“It was very clear to the officers that she knew exactly what was going on,” <a href="http://www.nashuatelegraph.com/news/986768-469/woman-zapped-by-taser-after-being-asked.html" target="_hplink">Seusing told the Nashua Telegraph</a>. “The officer didn’t think for a second that she was having difficulty understanding what she was being asked to do.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Seusing told the newspaper that the Apple Store hires Nashua officers
to work security details because of past problems. He said the store
enforces purchase limits to deter groups of customers who buy large
numbers of iPhones and iPads and then sell them for a profit overseas.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
CBS Boston reported that <a href="http://boston.cbslocal.com/2012/12/12/video-shows-nashua-police-using-taser-on-woman-after-iphone-dispute/" target="_hplink">Li had $16,000 in cash on her</a> when she was arrested. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Li is due in court in January and has hired an attorney, claiming police overreacted. </div>

Was <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/pub/tina-damron/b/29/16a" target="_blank">Tina Damron</a> instructed to, yet not limited, torture, hold hostage, bring upon hardship and/or terrorize the victim just to force the victim from sharing the <span style="color: #274e13;"><b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">TRUTH</span></b></span>? <br />
<br />
Public Storage REFUSES to inform customer why they take money for a storage unit, yet refuse to allow an individual to gain access to their property.<br />
Who are these whores of Lucifer? <br />
More coming!<br />
<br />
A man who has a storage container on the lower level informed the victim on or about 09:30 on the 11th of November 2012, that at about 03:00AM the night prior, someone was lurking about the storage facility on the lower level. This information was also conveyed to the female attendant mentioned below.<br />
Could it of been the assailant looking to do more harm?<br />

He is a solider - as some state - for those seeking to rise decay, immorality, evil and wrongs above all that is natural, true and correct.<br />
<br />
He has been known to lurk about storage facilities and even to look into storage areas not his own with the aid of a wooden like step that he props along side of a unit he is interested to know of its contents.<br />
<br />
One thing is clear concerning this "being", and that being he is "spiritually and/or mentally Corrupt"!<br />

WASHINGTON (AP) — Convicted D.C. sniper Lee Boyd Malvo said in a
newspaper interview published Sunday that the devastated reaction of a
victim's husband made him feel like "the worst piece of scum."<br />
<br />
Malvo expresses remorse in the interview with The Washington Post
(wapo.st/SrLk9I) and urged the families of victims to try and forget
about him and his partner John Allen Muhammad so they can move on.
Tuesday marks the 10th anniversary of the beginning of the deadly spree
in the Washington area carried out by Malvo and John Allen Muhammad. The
pair has been linked to 27 shootings across the country, including 10
fatal attacks in the Washington area.<br />
<br />
Malvo, 27, told the Post in a rare interview that the look on the
face of victim Linda Franklin's husband right after she was shot stands
out in his memory of the rampage. Franklin, a 47-year-old FBI analyst,
was killed as she and her husband loaded supplies outside a Home Depot
in Falls Church, Va.<br />
<br />
"They are penetrating," Malvo said of Ted Franklin's eyes. "It is the
worst sort of pain I have ever seen in my life. His eyes ... Words do
not possess the depth in which to fully convey that emotion and what I
felt when I saw it. ... You feel like the worst piece of scum on the
planet."<br />
<br />
Malvo is serving a life sentence with no parole at a prison in
southwest Virginia for killing Franklin. Muhammad was executed in
Virginia in 2009<br />
<br />
The sniper-style attacks all but paralyzed the nation's capital, as
people were shot at random while going about their everyday life —
pumping gas, buying groceries, and for one young boy, as he went to
school. The shooters used a high-powered rifle, firing from the trunk of
a modified Chevy Caprice until they were tracked down at a Maryland
rest stop.<br />
<br />
Malvo also repeated previous assertions that he was manipulated by
the older Muhammad during the string of attacks that took place when
Malvo was 17. But he acknowledges: "I was a monster."<br />
<br />
Malvo has declined to respond to many media requests, including
letters from The Associated Press. He was interviewed in 2010 for a
cable TV special.<br />
<br />
When asked by the Post what he would say to victims' families, the
remorseful Malvo said there's no way to properly convey an apology.<br />
<br />
"We can never change what happened," Malvo said. "There's nothing
that I can say except don't allow me and my actions to continue to
victimize you for the rest of your life."<br />
<br />
He added: "Don't allow myself or Muhammad to continue to make you a victim for the rest of your life. It isn't worth it."<br />
<br />
Linda Franklin's father, Charles Moore, was incredulous about the
idea that victims' relatives would be able to forget about what Malvo
and Muhammad did.<br />
<br />
"There's no way. I can't believe that. No one can go through
something like that," Moore said in a phone interview with The
Associated Press.<br />
<br />
Moore said he believes his daughter's slaying contributed to his wife's death several years later.<br />
"What he did just destroyed my family. I'll never be able to put it aside. Never," he said.<br />
<br />
"There are things that stand out in your life that you think about. I'm 83 years old and I'll carry it to my grave."<br />

<br />
Lee Boyd Malvo said he remembers each of the sniper shootings in
detail. But one moment – one image – stands out among the carnage of
that terrifying time 10 years ago:<br />
<br />
“Mr. Franklin’s eyes.”<br />
<br />
Malvo remembers being in the blue Chevrolet Caprice, in which police
found binoculars and walkie-talkies. He scanned the area to make sure
John Allen Muhammad had a clean shot. He gave the “go” order and looked
across Route 50 in Seven Corners at the target. Muhammad, hidden on a
hill above, pulled the trigger. A bullet screamed across the highway,
instantly killing Linda Franklin, who just happened to be going about
her business at the Home Depot at precisely the wrong time.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
But mostly he remembers Ted Franklin’s eyes – the devastation, the
shock, the sadness. “They are penetrating,” Malvo said in a rare media
interview from prison. “It is the worst sort of pain I have ever seen in
my life. His eyes. … Words do not possess the depth in which to fully
convey that emotion and what I felt when I saw it.<br />
<br />
“… You feel like the worst piece of scum on the planet.”<br />
<br />
Malvo’s attitude provides a sharp contrast to his posture 10 years
ago. Shortly after his arrest, a boastful, defiant Malvo told
investigators he fired the bullet that killed Franklin. He laughed and
pointed to his head to show where the bullet struck. Told about Malvo’s
words, one of those investigators said he wouldn’t be surprised if
Muhammad fired the fatal shot and thinks Malvo might be coming to grips
with what he did.<br />
<br />
It has been 10 years since Malvo and Muhammad went on one of the most
notorious killing sprees in the nation’s history. For 23 days in
October 2002, the pair ambushed 13 unsuspecting strangers, killing 10 of
them, in the Washington area. They succeeded in terrorizing the region,
as death came without warning: in gas stations and parking lots, on
benches and lawns. They even shot and wounded a 13-year-old standing in
front of a middle school. Sporting events were canceled. People cowered
behind tarps as they filled their cars with gas. Parents kept their
children home. After the two were caught, they were tied to at least 12
more shootings from Washington state to Alabama, six of them fatal.
Malvo went on trial in Virginia Beach; Muhammad in Chesapeake.<br />
<br />
Muhammad is gone – executed in 2009 for his crimes. Malvo, the scrawny teenager, the cold-blooded accomplice, is now 27. (<a href="http://hamptonroads.com.nyud.net/node/654155">More details and info</a>)<br />
