Big White house at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, that is. |

snip
I don't think they particularly cared if they got the right guy either, as long as there was an example to keep the peons in line. And that changed when? C.Q.C. |

Reminds me of my county prostituting attorney. He spoke out against an "innocence project" that uses DNA evidence to prove the convict's innocence. He wants the law changed so that innocence is no reason to have your conviction overturned. His stated reason: "for the victim's families". Yea, right, it really helps the victim's families when the criminal that terrorized them remains free while some patsy sits in jail. I think the real reason is this asshole would rather have an innocent citizen in jail than face the embarrassment of public knowledge that he got the wrong guy. Mitch. |

"Hang 'em High" was good, but the "The Ox-Bow Incident" had me wringing out my handkerchief.
But it was made a generation earlier. "B.C. Cletta" wrote: A Muzi wrote: Gary Smiley wrote: They should do to bicycle thieves what they used to do to horse thieves and cattle rustlers.

After 21 years of living in the same Takoma Park
bungalow, I regret to report that I have experienced my first burglary -- a burglary that targeted just one item: the Panasonic Pro-Touring road bicycle that was it locked? i know 10 people that had bikes stolen from gargages & such for every one stolen in use (typ bike rack). from an old gardening magazine to secure power tools: embed a length of chain in a bucket of concrete. i figure the ubiquitous five gallon bucket (19-l) w/ concrete will weight about 100-lbs (45-kgm). |

the Talibush, I would imagine ... Heh, heh, heh. :^) |
