  • NYPD Arrest 181 Black Men Over Cop Shooting

    On June 14th, Officer Christopher Wiesneski of Queens was shot in the leg with his own gun while trying to arrest a man smoking marijuana. During the next three days, police mounted a massive dragnet in the community. A total of 181 black men in the Queens neighborhoods of Cambria Heights and Laurelton were arrested […]

  • Viagra, Medicaid and Sex Offenders

    I’m glad somebody makes this make more sense. I think this manufactured scandal is absolutely insane. Medicaid covers Viagra for anyone for whom it is medically indicated. You don’t have to undergo a criminal record check to get any other kind of medical treatment. Pickpockets can be treated for carpal tunnel, peeping toms for ADD, […]

  • SCOTUS Rules Against Shackled Defendants

    The Supreme Court, brushing aside warnings by two justices that it was jeopardizing courthouse safety, ruled Monday it is unconstitutional to force capital murder defendants to appear before juries in chains and shackles. Why not just have them sitting in a goddamned electric chair?

  • Chinese Mobilize Justice with Death Vans

    Several Chinese provinces are using “death vans” to carry out court-ordered executions – in some cases, 15 minutes after a death sentence has been imposed.

  • Sex Offender Registries and Privacy Rights

    I was thinking about the guy that killed that girl in Florida and how he was a registered sex offender. I am not sure that a state sex offender registry violates his privacy rights or not… doesn’t it? If he served his time, doesn’t he have the right to his own privacy? Does his crime […]

  • Red Lake Rampage

    I sometimes wonder what the record is from crime spree to splashy graphics on the news. I’ll always remember the immediate ‘Run Up to the War’ graphics before the Iraq war – totally dismissing any possibility that we might not go. I immediately wondered what would be the blame for the school shooting. The kid […]

  • Blake Trial Juror Sells ‘Judgement Day' CD

    Did anyone catch this asshole on Larry King last night? They interviewed two jurors, involved in the Robert Blake trial. One of whom, Roberto Emmerich, answers Larry’s question by showing off his self-published CD with his memoirs of the trial. KING: All right. Roberto, are we saying tonight that, in your opinion as a juror, […]

  • Robert Blake in Lost Highway

    I finally figured out how I knew who Robert Blake was – he is that creepy guy in Lost Highway. I always loved this scene because it was so jarring – and totally no-tech: Fred meets a mysterious man at a party. Mystery Man (Blake): We’ve met before, haven’t we. Fred Madison (Bill Pullman): I […]

  • Iraq Vets Offered Ecstasy to Treat Flashbacks

    The Food and Drug Administration has given the go-ahead for soldiers traumatized by their time in Iraq and Afghanistan to be offered the party drug ecstasy to help free them of flashbacks and recurring nightmares. The soldiers would take the drug as part of an experiment to see if MDMA, the active ingredient in ecstasy, […]

  • Howard Brown Employee Dealt Meth + Chicago Fireball

    Chicago Police have busted an employee of the Howard Brown Center – one of the major (and acclaimed) gay outreach centers in the city – for dealing crystal meth. I hope this doesn’t tarnish Howard Brown’s image – I hold them in huge esteem for their response to HIV for everybody in the city as […]
