AP: Sources Aren’t Talking To Us Out Of Fear Of US Government Spying

Posted on by

“Speaking on CBS‘s Face the Nation, Pruitt, AP’s president and chief executive officer, said the government’s seizure of the phone records was ‘unconstitutional’ and was already clearly harming the press’s ability to do its job. ‘We are already seeing some impact. Already officials that would normally talk to us and people we talk to in the normal course of newsgathering are already saying to us that they are a little reluctant to talk to us. They fear that they will be monitored by the government. We are already seeing that. It’s not hypothetical,’ said Pruitt.”

San Diego Mayor Bob Filner Urges ‘Jury Nullification’ In Medical Pot Dispensary Case

Posted on by

“San Diego Mayor Bob Filner has injected himself into a federal criminal case against the operator of a medical marijuana dispensary, intensifying his standoff with federal prosecutors on cannabis enforcement issues.  Filner’s urging jurors who’ll be chosen for the trial to reject federal law in favor of state statutes under a centuries-old legal concept known as ‘jury nullification’– whereby jurors can refuse to convict people under laws they believe should not be applied.”

Deputies Watch Woman Die In Court, Refused To Give Her Asthma Medicine

Posted on by

“A woman died on a courthouse floor because Alabama sheriff’s deputies refused to give her her medicine – after arresting her for an old traffic ticket. Ayunna Johnae London sued St. Clair County Sheriff Terry Surles, jail administrators Austin Nash and Terry Marcrum, Southern Healthcare Partners, and its employee Jennifer Eisel, in Federal Court. London claims her mother, Dwana Voncia London-Richardson, died gasping for breath in court after callous and unconstitutional treatment from the defendants. Richardson suffered from asthma and other serious health problems, but the defendants refused to give her her medication, accused her of faking, and let her die in the courtroom.”

Colorado Gun Control Law Is Unenforceable, Say 54 Of 62 Colorado Sheriffs

Posted on by

“A gun control law set to go into effect in July specifies that anytime that a gun owner allows anyone to have control of his gun for over 72 hours, that person to receive the gun must go through a background check. Of Colorado’s 62 sheriffs, 54 are publicly protesting the law. It is unenforceable, they say. The law has other unenforceable features, such as banning rifle magazines that could possibly be expanded to hold more than 15 rounds. Anyone who owns such a magazine cannot sell it or lend it. The sheriffs are part of a lawsuit in federal court. The lawsuit says the law is unconstitutional. The state committee that heard testimony allowed only one sheriff to testify.”

Chinese expat author decides to move back to China after receiving green card

Posted on by

“Living overseas expanded her vision of the world, enabling her to review her previous life in China from a different perspective. ‘However, I finally came to realize that America will never be home for my spirit and career. Unlike the previous generations of immigrants to America, it is not a problem of language or the bread-and-butter things. The country is materially affluent, but sheer material well-being will not provide real happiness.  Add to that the fact that China’s rapid economic growth these past few years has made it unnecessary for me to stay in the U.S. just for a comfortable life. As a writer, I found my readers, my development and my roots lie in my motherland.'”

“The Hofstra University student killed during a home invasion robbery was the victim of friendly fire from a veteran cop who unleashed a barrage of bullets when the armed intruder pointed a gun at him, Nassau County police announced tonight. Andrea Rebello was accidentally shot in the head while career criminal Dalton Smith had her in a headlock and used her as a human shield while trying to escape out the back door, Det. Lt.

Truck Driver Nearly Beaten to Death By Police For Not Signing Traffic Ticket

“Two officers, one of them a trained fist-boxer, beat Kozacenko on the side of the highway nearly to death. He suffered a crushed left orbital eye socket, multiple facial fractures, a broken left arm, broken ribs, a concussion, loss of consciousness, and possible neurological damage. His injuries caused a deprivation of oxygen for a prolonged period of time.   Officers Andrew P. Murrill and Jim Sherman maintained that the force was not excessive. Both are still on the job a full 2 years after the incident. Olegs Kozacenko suffers long-term physical and emotional injuries and is no longer able to work.”

A Real Life Thelma and Louise: the US and the EU

Posted on by

“To be sure, there have been many warning signs along the road to indicate that to exit the car might have been a good idea, but, for whatever reasons, they did not. Now, it is becoming increasingly apparent to a larger number of people that the joy ride is soon to end, and end rather badly. As such, it would be understandable if we were to see the passengers in the back of the car request that they be let out. As Europe has some 740,000,000 inhabitants and the US has a further 310,000,000, even if only one percent chose to make an exit at some time in the next few years, this would mean an exodus which would be unprecedented in world history.”
