Blacks attacked a white kid? How is this news? This is just justice for centuries of oppression? Good for them!!!
JENA, Louisiana: A white teenager allegedly beaten by black schoolmates during a time of racial tension at their Louisiana school told a jury Wednesday that he was hit from behind, knocked unconscious and never saw who attacked him.
Justin Barker, 17, testified that he had just come out of his high school gym with his girlfriend walking ahead of him on Dec. 4 when they turned to avoid a group of black students.
“I turned my back and somebody hit me, that’s all I remember,” Barker said.
Barker testified before an all-white jury in the trial of Mychal Bell, also 17, the first of six black teenagers arrested in the alleged beating. The case drew widespread attention when five of those arrested were charged with attempted murder and conspiracy counts carrying decades of prison time. Charges against Bell, however, were reduced the day before the trial.
Jurors are expected to get the case Thursday. The prosecution rested after calling 17 witnesses who provided sometimes conflicting testimony about Bell’s alleged involvement in the fight. The defense then rested without presenting any witnesses.
The racial tensions leading to the fight began in August in Jena — a town of 2,900 with about 350 black residents — after a black student at Jena High School sat under a tree traditionally used as a gathering spot by white students. Later, three nooses — symbolizing lynching — were hanging in the tree when students arrived on campus.

These guys have no idea what they are talking about…… just get a coat hanger! Cheap, easy and effective. Get ‘em early, that’s my motto.
They are a popular accessory for parents hoping to keep their children entertained on long car journeys.
But back-seat DVD players could kill a child in a crash at only 18mph, safety tests have shown.
The screens - commonly strapped to the back of front seats and costing a few hundred pounds - can easily fly off in a collision, hitting rear passengers in the head.
The problem relates to the systems bought as accessories - rather those which are built into the back of headrests.
In a simulated collision, the DVD screen was sent hurtling from the front- seat headrest into the head of a crash-test ‘baby’ sitting in a child safety seat in the back.
The test showed mobile phones and satnav systems in holders attached to the dashboard or windscreen could also fly loose, hitting passengers’ legs and feet.
The phone holders, which are fixed to the interior using suction pads, stayed in place but the phones inside were thrown out.
A satnav system in a similar holder remained in place but one attached to an air vent flew through car.

Still, though, if you’re going to have a pissed-off citizenry, nudity and marijuana really are the correct ways of going about it. Events like these give truly progressive citizens groups a bad name. If you want to smoke pot and be nude, fine. Just don’t do it publicly, you are not really proving anything.
The fight continues for Aaron Fuda and his Fudafest.
At noon on Saturday, July 7, a group of what Fuda describes as “very pissed-off citizens” will march into town carrying protest signs against the Iraq War, President George W. Bush, and marijuana and nudity laws. As they make their way to Butters Park at the head of Main Street, where they have been assigned as part of the Downtown Festival activities, Fuda promises there will be open marijuana smoking and nude streakers.
“I fought the law and the law made more law. So the fight continues forever, as we the people will never stop drumming or smoking weed,” promised the organizer of the annual Fudafest in an e-mail to the Sun Journal.
Police Chief Robert Federico said he is not concerned.

Hand tossed will cost you an extra $50. Can I order one with no topping? Excuse me, there’s a curly hair in my calzone.
In a city that seems to have everything, it’s amazing what we’ll still be surprised to find. Take for example what CBS 2 HD recently uncovered going on in the back of a pizzeria.
Let’s just say it’s hotter than the pizza served up front.
On the outside, Cordatos looks like your ordinary pizzeria, but inside customers are offered something way too hot and spicy to be found on the menu.
Lap dances. Yes, you read that correctly.
A walk through the restaurant past the pizza ovens, leads to a heavy soundproof door, where inside the back room $10 buys you a few moments of lap dancing by barely dressed exotic dancers, a dance too graphic for most newscasts.
“When you are in the Big Apple anything and everything goes,” one patron said.
The anything and everything on this menu includes extremely close body-to-body contact during the lap dance. Judging from the crowds CBS 2 HD saw during our hidden camera investigation, it’s a popular pit stop just blocks from ground zero, where construction workers and Wall Street traders find a slice of pleasure in the least likely of places.
“The guys go at lunch time,” one man said. “It’s not a bad thing either, relieves a little pressure.”

New fun game in Myanmar: stealing electrical cable during blackouts. You lose if you’re not done when the power comes back on!
Thieves in the former Burma’s main city, Yangon, are taking advantage of outages often lasting for more than 20 hours a day to steal the copper power cables, police said on Friday.
Sometimes, of course, they get unlucky.
“The thieves are risking their lives as it is impossible to know exactly when the power is going to be restored. It’s just like playing Russian roulette,” said one Yangon police officer who did not want to be named.
“I’ve seen a few cases in which thieves were electrocuted. In April, a 16-year-old boy was found dead, holding a broken cable from a lamppost. Only God knows for sure whether he was a thief or not.”

Don’t worry Ms. Richard, I have looked at the picture of your daughter and I can safely say that she wont be having sex anytime soon. Also what the fuck is a sex coupon? I want one!
A Burbank mother expressed her outrage after Toyota Park concert sponsors handed her disabled 12-year-old daughter a goodie bag including condoms and a sex-toy catalog.
Pam Richard, 39, says she spent $167 to take her daughters Heather, 12, Crystal, 14, and Hola, 18, to the B96 Summerbash at the Bridgeview stadium Sunday.
The trip to see pop music stars including Akon, Rihanna and Hilary Duff . But the outing was soured during a pre-show performance inside the stadium grounds, Richard said.
“The dancers were handing out CDs, so I went to the front to get one for Heather,” she said.
“Heather has a disability similar to Tourette’s, which makes her nervous in crowds and clench her fists when she’s excited, so she couldn’t ask herself.
“But when I told the dancer she was disabled, he wouldn’t give me one.
“I asked again, and he handed Heather a pink bag — when I saw what was inside, I was shocked.”
Inside the bag, put together by Lisle-based nightclub promotions company Mixmaster Throwdown, were two condoms, a catalog for the adult store Lovers Lane, an explicit CD titled “Vigina,” “Bearly Legal” suntan lotion sachets printed with marijuana leaves and a book of gag “sex coupons” entitling the bearer to direct sex videos and other sexual favors.
“I am disgusted they would promote sex and drugs to a 12-year-old,” Richard said.
“About 90 percent of the people at the concert were teens and pre-teens. This was completely inappropriate.”
I am really afraid to see what our next generation is becoming.

WTF a 12 year old boy weighing 28 pounds. This rag needs to be starved for a few months straight, and then locked in a room with no water. Maybe head-in-vice?
The night before Tyler DeLeon turned 7, he was so thirsty he ripped a hole in the screen of his bedroom window to eat snow.
By the next evening, Tyler was dead. He weighed just 28 pounds, the size of an average 2-year-old.
Dehydration is the official cause of death, but authorities think Tyler suffered a variety of abuses at the hands of his adoptive mother, Carole DeLeon, a woman who led a seemingly ordinary life as a paralegal with the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Spokane.
Records released this week by the state Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) say that between 1988 and 2005, DeLeon had deprived at least four other adoptive or foster children of food and that she was accused of punishing her biological children by withholding food, as well. Yet DSHS didn’t recognize the pattern until after Tyler died in January 2005.

I like dogs more than I like most people. Kill this asshole. =)
The incident: dog excrement found on the roof and windows of the Romney station wagon. How it got there: Romney strapped a dog carrier — with the family dog Seamus, an Irish Setter, in it — to the roof of the family station wagon for a twelve hour drive from Boston to Ontario, which the family apparently completed, despite Seamus’s rather visceral protest.
Massachusetts’s animal cruelty laws specifically prohibit anyone from carrying an animal “in or upon a vehicle, or otherwise, in an unnecessarily cruel or inhuman manner or in a way and manner which might endanger the animal carried thereon.” An officer for the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals responded to a description of the situation saying “it’s definitely something I’d want to check out.”
The officer, Nadia Branca, declined to give a definitive opinion on whether Romney broke the law but did note that it’s against state law to have a dog in an open bed of a pick-up truck, and “if the dog was being carried in a way that endangers it, that would be illegal.”
And while it appears that the statute of limitations has probably passed, Stacey Wolf, attorney and legislative director for the ASPCA, said “even if it turns out to not be against the law at the time, in the district, we’d hope that people would use common sense…Any manner of transporting a dog that places the animal in serious danger is something that we’d think is inappropriate…I can’t speak to the accuracy of the case, but it raises concerns about the judgment used in this particular situation.”

Hmmm…but she probably bared her tits to get them nips pierced…and flashed them off in bars on a number of occasions. The only problem I see with the story is that they did this in front of the male inmates. To have ruined your entire life with meth seems more embarrassing to me. I’m sure those breasts were small, shriveled and useless.
A woman who claims her rights were violated by Mesa police during a search after her arrest on assault charges is headed to federal court.
The issue was removal of body piercing jewelry. Griffin removed her tongue and nose rings, but said only a professional should remove the breast rings.
This conflicted with police policy, which requires that all inmate property be confiscated for the safety of officers and inmates.
Detention Officer Jennifer Gneck removed the rings with pliers as Griffin stood before a bathroom wall, with male officers watching and with her back to taunting male inmates.

El Diablo - Isn’t that some sort of Mexican fighting chicken or something?
A man who tried to snatch two little girls from their mothers outside a North County Wal-Mart while referring to himself as “El Diablo” — the devil — is scheduled to be sentenced today.
Under terms of a plea agreement reached in May, 37-year-old Eloy Ambris Garcia is expected to be sent to a state mental hospital for 5 1/2 years. That’s the same amount of time he would have spent in prison on the attempted kidnapping charge to which he pleaded guilty.
However, Judge K. Michael Kirkman warned the defendant that depending on his mental condition, he could remain hospitalized for the rest of his life.
Witnesses in a preliminary hearing testified that Garcia approached members of an extended family when they got off a bus in front of the store on Center Drive in San Marcos.
The mother of one of the children testified that the defendant tugged at her daughter’s hands, saying in Spanish, “I am coming for them, I am the devil.”
