Another Mexico Shooting.

For the past year mexico has been fighting drug wars in well populated areas such as Mexico City. Hundreds of innocent people have died and many more will continue to suffer unless a drastic change is taken with the illegal drug trade. Marijuana exported from mexico is only about 10 percent of the pot here. But it still is valuable enough to a confused and poverty stricken country to kill so many people. So the question is, how can we fix this? The answer is simple. take it out of the hands of the criminals and bandits of ol' Mexico and put it into the direct hands of the consumers of the product. Bada Boom, now everyone is happy. I get to smoke pot and people don't have die for me to do so. This is hard to comprehend but just take a minute to think about how this works in poor rebellious country. They see that we want something, so they do what ever they have to do to get it here. Even if that means killing men, women, and children to do so. Now some might say, Why don't we just stop smoking marijuana instead? Because that will never ever happen ever. Marijuana has had an 1000% increase in users since the late fifties. That means that over fifty million people in america smoke marijuana. which also means that there is a butt load of money being pumped into our economy due to pot. So it would be senseless to throw an amazing opportunity like the the legal, taxed distribution of marijuana. How could our economy not flourish if an additional 20 billion dollars is being funneled through the red, white, and blue? Thats like saying an extra five thousand dollars a month wouldn't help a poor family get food. Again, please watch this Documentary and then come up with your own opinion of marijuana. Then ask yourself, is killing people over a plant really worth it?

27 years of confinement

Holy cow, so this guy named Tommy Silverstein who has been kept in solitary confinement for the last twenty seven years was let out the other day. Twenty seven straight years with no human contact, nothing but your own thoughts and small door that opens for food and water. Apparently "terrible Tommy" killed a correctional officer in 1983 and has been in seclusion ever since. He described the twenty seven year stretch as "a slow, constant peeling of the skin." This guy is freaking psychotic, he's been apart of the Aryan Brotherhood, addicted to heroin, and killed four people, one of which was a 51 year old prison guard. After he murdered the guard he was transfered to 7 by 6 foot square room with 24 hours of lights and security cameras. Tommy was cramped more than normal due to the fact that he is 6 feet tall. He has been transfered to over 5 prisons, all maximum security and one of which being leavenworth in Kansas. At one point during his confinement a bunch of Cubans rioted and took over the prison, seized Tommy and tried negotiating with the authorities trying to get lighter sentences. Now all he does is yoga, dram, and write letters to loved ones.

Mall cops are car hops

So today after i got out of class one of my buddys asked me to take him back to his apartment. So i did, after dropping him off and re-fueling my car at the kum and go on the corner or 7th and Duquesne i headed down Duquense street and headed back to MOSO. I just passed the new pizza joint in that that mini mall behind the gas station when all of a sudden there was cherry's and berry's flashing in my rear view mirror and they were wanting me to pull over. Well if any of you guys have ever been on Duquesne then you know there is no shoulder to pull off on, so i drove 20mph until i got to the alumni building right before the school. Well two cops rush to my window and start telling me that my windows are to dark and i dont have a license plate on the front of my car. I say "okay?" they say "let me see your drivers license" i say okay and reach into my back pocket. But guess what? I forgot my wallet at home that morning. Go figure right? So i tell the cop that i commute from Lamar Mo and that i totally forgot it because i was running late this morning. He say "okay." and asks me to step out of the car. I say, "alright officer." The moment i stepped out of the car the second police officer grabs me and puts me up against the car, starts to pat me down, then puts handcuffs on me and slams me into the back of the car. No exageration. While im in the back seat i see an officer searching my car like theres a meth lab in it, then all of a sudden he stops,looks back at the police car, gets this huge smile on his face, and starts to head back to where im sitting. When he gets in he looks at me and shows me my grinder and says "why didn't you tell us you had dope in the car?" I look at him and smile and say "that was used for K2, which is a substance that resembles marijuana and is 100 percent LEGAL in the state of missouri. His remark is, "crap, i got an e-mail about this yesterday." instead of letting me go they take me to a fucking shack in Duquesne and start giving me a DRE.(basically field sobrioty tests for marijuana) I pass, but then he tells me i have to get my blood drawn and i have to sumbit to a urine analysis. well i smoke marijuana everyday after i get my homework done so i know im going to fail. So i tell him, he states that that is fine but he still has to do it. Next thing you know im at jasper county police department in a holding cell with 6 meth heads with DWI-of marijuana charges and a failure to yield. My bond was set at 8,000 dollars and i haven' a god damn clue whats going on. They towed my car, took my cellphone and still have not returned it. (they also used my cell phone to talk to my friends in order to bust them with pot.) So the question is, Why do we let these stupid ignorant people who have the easiest degree at MOSO patrol and try to keep our streets safe? When did police officers turn from the good samaritains who protect us from criminals into the judge, juror, and executioner. And finally why do they need to find a way to put a routine stop into a certain classification for a reason that still hasn't been fully explained to me. Does not every case have it's own variable that should be looked at before issueing a citation that could ruin someones entire life? I dont want to go into a spill on how we can change it or anything ill just end this with one statistic. 26% of all inmates in missouris prisson's came from jasper county. Trigger happy?

Arrested for drawing.

Alexa Gonzalez, a seventh grader in queens was drawing on her desk one day towards the end of the day when her teacher pulled her aside and took her to the office to talk to the schools principal. The principal explained to her that she could get arrested and it actually happened. She was frisked and even cuffed to a pole for awhile. She was suspended from school and given community service. Apparently all the drawing said was "I love my friends Abby and Faith." How freaking retarded is that? The NYPD has yet to even respond to any comments. I am ashamed to be an American today.

Barefoot Bandit

Dude this kid is awesome, His name is Colton Harris and he is consider by the F.B.I. to be our nations most dangerous bandit. He Has stolen four planes, broken into a ton of house and cars to get credit card numbers, and has racked up countless cases of identity fraud. Funny thing is he's only 18. He just camps out in the woods to elude police and sneak into small community's and just jacks what ever isn't nailed down. He's pretty much our generations Robin Hood, except he doesn't give anything to poor people. In His last incident he stole a 650,000 dollar aircraft and tried flying over Vancouver for the Olympics. He didn't quite make it there, he turned around after he was told he was in restricted airspace. He landed the plane hard but the was no damage. Everybody should add this guy on facebook. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=141268095255

Fugitive Found by posting his status on facebook.

This is so funny. Is america getting dumber? Some guy was on the run from the police and was found because he was updating his stuff on facebook. He was involved in a domestic dispute and was arrested and posted bail. he then didn't return for court and just fled. He would post pictures of party's his was at on facebook along with his own wanted poster. The cops noticed him on the networking site and learned his job hours, where he lived, and even what he drove. They just waited for the perfect to time to bust him. what kind of criminals do we have these days. geeez.
