Teens get only weeks of detention for 'Tuba Man' death

SEATTLE - Three teens who beat to death Ed McMichael, better known as the "Tuba Man," were sentenced to 15-36 weeks in juvenille detention on Wednesday.

Kenneth Kelly, 15, Billy Chambers, 16, and Ja'Mari Jones, 16, will be given credit for the roughly 24 weeks they've already spent in custody.

The teens pleaded guilty April 3 to first-degree manslaughter in King County Juvenile Court. Because they are not legally adults, none could face a sentence longer than 72 weeks in juvenile detention.

Chambers and Jones were also sentenced to 36 weeks in detention for an unrelated robbery, and the two sentences were ordered to run consecutively.

McMichael, a beloved character on the Seattle scene who played his tuba outside many public events, was walking home near a bus stop on Seattle's Mercer Street last Oct. 25 when five teens attacked him. Police said the five kicked and beat him and tried to rob him.

I think not.

Janeane: An ‘I Hate Myself’ Production

I’m not of the opinion that a person has to be perfect in order to point out the failings of others, but liberals take it to such an extreme that you have to wonder if they have any self-awareness at all.

I mean, when someone like George Soros, who collaborated with the Nazis, compared George W. Bush to Adolf Hitler, am I the only one who wondered if he meant it as a compliment?

Or take Janeane Garofalo, who says stupid things with such regularity you might take her for a sulky teenager even though she’s 44 years old. Because she is an ignoramus and has the self-righteous attitude of an adolescent brat, she was a perfect fit for Air America, where she and Al Franken competed to see which of them could attract fewer listeners.

For those of you who have managed to go through life without ever having heard the nasty sound bites for which she’s best known, your good luck is about to run out.

On one occasion, she said, “Our country is founded on a sham. Our forefathers were slave-owning rich white guys who wanted it their way. So when I see the American flag, I go, ‘Oh, my god, you’re insulting me.’ That you can have a gay pride parade on Christopher Street in New York, with naked men and women on a float, cheering, ‘We’re here and we’re queer!’ — that’s what makes my heart swell. Not the flag, but a gay naked man or woman burning the flag. I get choked up with pride.”

Another time, she announced, “The world would be better off with multiple superpowers. When the Soviet Union was a superpower, the world was better off.”

I’m sure when she shared that thought with her fellow pinheads on New York’s upper Westside, there was a lot of solemn head nodding and people turning to one another, martini in hand, and saying, “That little girl has a damn good head on her shoulders.”

On the other hand, if she’d made such a moronic statement in Poland, Latvia, Czechoslovakia, East Germany or Hungary, I’d like to think she’d have gotten her block knocked off.

It’s usually difficult to figure out why anyone who grows up with all the advantages that go with being born in America and enjoying a moderately successful career, would hate the country as much as she does. But, at the risk of being tossed out of the layman’s psychiatric association, it’s hard not to view her as someone who has devoted her life to rebelling against mommy and daddy. After all, her mother worked as a secretary in the petrochemical industry and her father was an executive with Enron!

1) Typical Hollywood cluelessness about guns, or

2) A well-researched, realistic portrayal of an autopistol that's been modified for a suppressor? (For instance, I know the H&K Mk 43 "SOCOM" pistol has a feature that allows the shooter to basically deactivate the self-loading mechanism, so as to cut down on noise for a suppressed shot.)

Puns, good for what ales yah...

today's puns are a little Lite

I posted this earlier...
Phil Clack has a great read about Jim Carrey's new Anti-vaxx book..
Point by point he destroys the book and the Ant-Vaxx thought process..
************************
The article Carrey wrote has so much wrong in it that it almost qualifies as self-satirizing. His very first paragraph is a textbook example of spin. Basically, a few months ago a special court looked at three cases of potential damage due to vaccinations, and found no evidence of any connection. About this, Carrey says:

…a ruling against causation in three cases out of more than 5000 hardly proves that other children won’t be adversely affected by the MMR, let alone that all vaccines are safe. This is a huge leap of logic by anyone’s standards.

That last line comes dangerously close to an out-and-out lie on Carrey’s part, and it’s certainly dead wrong. The three cases that were presented to the special courts were chosen by the people presenting the cases themselves as the strongest of all their claims. And the courts did far more than simply find no link between between vaccines and autism; they called the antivax claims "speculative and unpersuasive." One of the special masters (the judge, essentially) in the cases also said that the parents of one child had "been misled by physicians who are guilty, in my view, of gross medical misjudgment."

So that "huge leap of logic" Carrey complains about is actually a carefully reasoned and literally judicious step.

Political Extremism Infiltrates the Pentagon

Every once in a while something happens so shocking, so inconceivable, that it threatens to remove the last bastions of confidence I have in the federal government. The appointment of Rosa Brooks, the radical left-wing Los Angeles Times columnist, as an advisor to Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Michelle Fluornoy is one of those moments. And by advisor, I don’t mean someone who talks on an informal basis — I mean a full-time advisor so committed to helping formulate policy that she had to leave her position as a fire-breathing partisan columnist.

I'm going to go out on a limb and bet that this Rosa Brooks is vehemently anti-Israel.

Brooks could only have been chosen for the opinions she’s voiced, so it’s fair to ask what positions she has that made her catch the eye of Fluornoy and whoever else recommended her.

Was it her attitude towards the previous administration, which she described as “local authoritarians”? On more than one occasion, she’s questioned the sanity of President Bush, hardly the tone of respect President Obama sought to bring to today’s “broken politics.” In her piece titled “Straightjacket Bush,” Brooks says that the president and vice president should “be treated like psychotics who need treatment.”

Even more alarming are her stances on important national security issues. She opposed the surge, which she says “someday the history books will have harsh words” for. She also charges the Bush administration with exaggerating the threat from al-Qaeda. “At the time, most experts say, this description of al-Qaeda simply wasn’t true. It was little more than an obscure group of extremist thugs, well financed and intermittently lethal but relatively limited in their global and regional political pull. On 9/11, they got lucky,”

This is in the Pentagon. The Pentagon. That was attacked on 9/11.

Cross posted from previous thread [First Amendment question]:

1. For a "public figure" to sue a slanderer, for example, he would have to prove "actual malice" to get past a First Amendment defense. (Lucky for many bloggers!)

2. No. Nazis are free to vent, as long as they don't incite riot or violence. American history of the First Amendment goes back to the rigged election of 1734 in New York. The Royal Governor of New York tried to rig an election on which control of the colonial legislature turned. (The opposition were anti-royalists). He stationed redcoats (British soldiers) around the polling place to turn away opposition voters. His tactics failed, but were reported in the New York Journal, an opposition newspaper. The editor of the Journal, John Peter Zenger, was then arrested and put on trial in NYC for sedition of the Crown, a crime. In those days, truth was not a defense to sedition. Zenger's lawyer pleaded "the rights of Englishmen", which was not a defense. The judge instructed the jury to convict. The jury acquitted, because Zenger's newspaper story was true. Ever since, truth has been an absolute defense to libel in the U.S. The First Amendment also arose out of the incident.

GM's Pontiac not dead - yet

From WSJ, Pontiac is at risk, more plants are to be shut down, and the gov't is pressuring GM to shed GMC which has many models in parallel with Chevy. GM is trying to tamp down rumors of Pontiacs demise, but insiders are saying it's likely. From all that I've seen, it looks like either Pontiac or GMC will go, not both, since there are many dealers that are grouped as Pontiac, Buick, and GMC. It cost GM more than a billion to handle the dealers in the Oldsmobile shutdown, due to strong state franchise laws. Shutting down one brand with most dealers selling multiple brands will lessen that. Shutting down two will be more costly.

re: #132 CyanSnowHawk

It cost GM more than a billion to handle the dealers in the Oldsmobile shutdown, due to strong state franchise laws. Shutting down one brand with most dealers selling multiple brands will lessen that. Shutting down two will be more costly.

Yet another reason for GM to seek the security of a court (via bankruptcy.) This is so painful to watch because the vested interests are so set in their ways. I realize the workers don't want to lose their jobs, but the writing has been on the wall for some time. Ever since the Japanese companies set up plants in the US and made quality cars while paying their employees a couple of bucks less per hour than GM the reality has always loomed over the horizon for GM....

I'm not saying that all women are nutty. I'm just saying that after some little exposure to me that all women become nutty.

I've mentioned before that my wife has, in the past, been angry with me because of something that she dreamed that I was doing.

This morning she announced to my stupification that in her dream last night I was having sex with a 40ish tart in the housewares isle of Target.

That's just freaking nutty. I'd never do that. You do that in sporting goods.

I have a flash panther on my shoulder (arrived at Little Vinnie's on a Harley - suprised my husband when I got one before he did!) and a gorgeous one of Chinese cats (done by a medicine man - seriously) on an ankle. I am pain-tolerant, but it hurts a lot to get an ankle tat. Worth it, though.

re: #132 CyanSnowHawk

From WSJ, Pontiac is at risk, more plants are to be shut down, and the gov't is pressuring GM to shed GMC which has many models in parallel with Chevy. GM is trying to tamp down rumors of Pontiacs demise, but insiders are saying it's likely. From all that I've seen, it looks like either Pontiac or GMC will go, not both, since there are many dealers that are grouped as Pontiac, Buick, and GMC. It cost GM more than a billion to handle the dealers in the Oldsmobile shutdown, due to strong state franchise laws. Shutting down one brand with most dealers selling multiple brands will lessen that. Shutting down two will be more costly.

GMC needs to go, too, especially since the Acadia has been duplicated by the Chevy Traverse. I hate seeing all these names go away, but GM doesn't have 50% market share any more. They need to concentrate their marketing dollars on fewer makes and models, because good cars have been shortchanged, due to not having enough money to market them effectively. Strip it down to Chevy, Cadillac, and Buick.

Malaysia grants text message divorces! government's adviser on religious affairs said as long as the message was clear and unambiguous it was valid under Islamic Sharia law.

I admit I took a shot at the Qur'an earlier, but the Qur'an does divorce pretty well (suras 2, 4, and 65). The reason behind three times (Q.2:229-232) saying "I divorce you" was to ensure that people didn't divorce too hastily; the man was supposed to think it over before making it legal.

It's the hadith which undercuts all this. Most of it, I'm completely unsurprised to find out, came to us from the hadith transmitter, 'Abd Allah the son of Caliph 'Umar, whom I've mentioned before on LGF. I bet he's on record as a wife beater too.

So score one for the Qur'an, maybe even for Muhammad himself. Of course Muslims still have to deal with the hadith and with their horrible "saints", and that is still their problem.

60 Mexico flu deaths raise global epidemic fears
...
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said tests show some of the Mexico victims died from the same new strain of swine flu that sickened eight people in Texas and California.

Mexico put the confirmed toll at 20 dead, but 40 other fatalities were being probed, and at least 943 nationwide were sick from the suspected flu, the health department said.

Scientists said the virus combines genetic material from pigs, birds and humans in a way researchers have not seen before.
"We are very, very concerned," spokesman Thomas Abraham said.

"We have what appears to be a novel virus and it has spread from human to human," he said.

"It's all hands on deck at the moment."

Thank you for the response. Never thought of that actually. Vespa is twice the price but perhaps a better quality scooter. $2500 vs $800.

I was just wondering if you can tell if the offers are legit or if it might be too good to be true. Thanks!
