Wait a minute? What the phuck? God help me but I agree with Sharpton on this and I hate the guy. What the kid did isn’t even illegal anymore. There was massive douchebaggery involved since he videotaped it but a brother doesn’t deserve a ten year stretch.
They should have used the “at least he didn’t pee on her” defense.
The Rev. Al Sharpton embraced the mother and sister of a man serving a 10-year sentence for consensual oral sex with a 15-year-old, joining hundreds of supporters Thursday demanding his immediate release from prison.
Genarlow Wilson has been in prison for two years for taking part in the sex act when he was 17 years old.
“This boy is not only her son, he’s your son, he’s my son,” Sharpton told the cheering crowd from the steps of the Douglas County Courthouse. “We’re here today because what affects you affects all of us.”
State Rep. Alisha Thomas Morgan said Wilson’s punishment was excessive and should be reduced, just like the prison sentence for former White House aide I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, which was commuted Monday by President Bush.
“Genarlow is the face of many other young black men who have received injustice,” Thomas Morgan said. “Somebody’s got to stand up for them.”
The crowd held signs that read “Free Genarlow” and “Justice Now.” The issues of race and class came up in many speeches.
“If he had a different complexion and a different connection, we wouldn’t be here,” Sharpton said.
Wilson, now 21, is serving a 10-year mandatory sentence for aggravated child molestation stemming from a 2003 New Year’s Eve Party where he was captured on videotape receiving oral sex from a 15-year-old girl. The law has since been changed by Georgia lawmakers, but the state’s top court said the new law could not be applied retroactively.
Wilson was also charged in 2003 with raping a 17-year-old girl at the party, but a jury acquitted him of the charges.

This strange bird will walk. He’s going to win this case. The store made no attempt to stop him from trying on the clothes. The employee provided assistance voluntarily. No one smart enough to work in Victorias Secret would beleive that, they in the process of assisting a male patron who was trying to put on lingerie might see something they didn’t want to.
A man who police say exposed himself to two Victoria’s Secret store clerks while trying on women’s underwear faces two felony counts and a misdemeanor charge of retail theft. Police say Robert K. Scott, 47, went twice to the lingerie store in the Diamond Run Mall in April and May.
At his arraignment Monday, Scott was released on conditions, including that he abide by a curfew and stay away from the mall and the store.
The Rutland County Sheriff’s Department, which provides security at the mall, investigated the incidents.
Sheriff’s Deputy Andrew Cross wrote in a sworn statement that Scott went to the store on April 22 and told a female clerk he wanted to try on some lingerie and panty hose.
“Scott asked her to stay close by while he was in the dressing room,” Cross wrote,” adding that “Scott then had her look at him to see how the items looked on him.” When she looked, “she could tell he had no underwear on.”
Scott returned to the store May 6, picked out several items, went into a dressing room and then began calling a female clerk for help.
Scott then opened the door, wearing a white top, red heels and no underwear, exposing himself to her, Cross wrote. The clerk said Scott made no attempt to cover himself, the affidavit stated.

If I was in her shoes I would probably do the same thing. Can not say I blame her.
LANSING, Mich. (AP) - A state forensics scientist who said she tested her husband’s underwear for DNA to find out if he was having sex with another woman is being investigated to determine if she violated state policies against using state equipment for personal reasons.
Ann Chamberlain-Gordon of Okemos testified in a March 7 divorce hearing that she ran the test last September on the underwear of Charles Gordon Jr. Asked by his attorney what she found, she answered, “Another female. It wasn’t me.”
She also said during a May 25 hearing in Ingham County Family Court that she ran the test on her own time with expired chemicals that were to be thrown away.
The Michigan State Police, which oversees the Lansing forensics laboratory where Chamberlain-Gordon works, is conducting an internal investigation and expects to decide by next week if disciplinary action should be taken.

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.

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.”

Good old fashioned fight club… We need more of these to cope with the unnecessary stress of modern life. It’s a known fact.
Every third Saturday, for more than a year now, “farm boys and city boys” don boxing gloves and helmets at the Underground Saloon a few miles north of Hartford “to find out what they got” by punching and kicking each other under the watchful eye of tavern owner Scott Flitsch..
“Any form of fighting is allowed. Just no knees or elbows,, no cheap shots, no bone breaking,” said Flitsch, whose Washington County tavern draws about 250 people, five times his regular Saturday night crowd, to what he calls Underground Fighting Competition.
Flitsch’s slugfests began in early 2006 while he and some bar patrons were watching a Spike TV show about Ultimate Fighting Championship, commonly referred to as UFC, on the television above the bar.
“We thought we could put something on like that,” he said.
The increasing popularity of UFC and of competitions like Flitsch’s prompted the Slinger Village Board on June 4 to introduce an ordinance, patterned after one passed in Milwaukee a decade ago, that would outlaw such events. It has to be reviewed at two more meetings before it can be adopted.
The ordinance would prohibit “ultimate or extreme” fighting events for which a state license has not been issued. The measure, which borrows language from a 1996 Milwaukee ordinance, defines ultimate and extreme fighting as “any combination of boxing, kicking, wrestling, hitting, punching or other combative contact techniques.”
Interesting to say the least!

Pussy is like pizza, when it’s good, it’s good, and when it’s bad, it’s still pretty good.
This gal is just nuts. There really isn’t anything sexy about her. You work for someone who hops on a table, drops trou and bends over; waves sex toys around, and so forth … she’s a nutcase.
Sounds funny and cool unless you’ve ever worked with someone like that. It’s just creepy and really uncomfortable.
Still and all … I’d hit it.
There are shocking allegations against a Palm Bay city supervisor. A former employee said she was constantly flashing and using sexually explicit language in front of workers. He said, when he complained, he was fired and is now suing.
It’s unusual for a man to file a sexual harassment suit against a female. Usually, it’s the other way around. But the man who used to work with her said his boss was so vulgar and inappropriate, he had to take action
Boxes are filled with evidence backing Tom Rolfe’s sexual harassment case against the city of Palm Bay. He worked for the city as a meter reader for four years and said he was fired when he complained about his supervisor, Donna Elliot.
“She just dropped her pants, bent over and showed everybody everything,” Rolfe said.
Elliot has been with Palm Bay for 15 years. She didn’t return Eyewitness News phone calls, Friday, but denied all the allegations in a deposition.
Rolfe’s not the only one complaining, though. His attorney has a half-dozen sworn statements from former and current workers who said Elliot acted inappropriately at the office.
A former meter reader said, “She stood on the table and dropped her pants right in front of me.” Another testified, “On at least six occasions, Ms. Elliot flashed her breasts at work or mooned employees.”
That same worker said he saw Elliot go into an adult store on city time, buy a sex toy and bring it back into the office to show employees. Rolfe was one of them.
“That was the final straw for me,” he said.
