CONYERS, Ga. - A man has been arrested after allegedly trying to force his estranged wife into an oven on Thanksgiving in front of their five children.
Martin Luther Jackson, 31, of Decatur, has been charged with aggravated assault, aggravated battery, cruelty to children and possession of marijuana after the Nov. 23 incident, said Sgt. Jodi Shupe of the Rockdale County Sheriff's Office.
Jackson and his 29-year-old wife, who have been separated since July, have five children ranging in age from 1 to 13 years old, Shupe said. Jackson apparently started fighting with his wife after she and the children returned to their Conyers home on Thanksgiving.
At one point during the fight, Jackson allegedly attempted to stuff his wife inside the kitchen oven, which had been left on to heat the house, Shupe said. The woman escaped and went to the sheriff's office with visible head injuries, Shupe said. Investigators found Jackson hiding under a bed at his mother's house in Decatur, where he had been living since the separation, Shupe said. Theres a red under my bed
And theres a little green man in my head

Investigators found Jackson hiding under a bed at his mother's house
With his eyes screwed shut and his index fingertips stacattoing nasty waves in his earholes, Jackson chanted "Ninininininini, she's a turkey doncha see eeeeeee, neeeee." You can't see me 'cause my eyes are shut. I said I wanted to have her and the kids for Thanksgiving dinner. So niineeniineeni.
A former strip club waitress was sentenced Wednesday to five years of supervised release after she pleaded guilty to mailing threatening letters and flammable material, including condoms filled with a potentially explosive mixture, court documents said.
The documents said Kimberly Lynn Dasilva, 49, of Hull, mailed the condoms to a television station, strip clubs where she had worked and other places, saying she was tired of being mistreated by men. In May, she pleaded guilty to mailing threatening communications and a violation of injurious articles as nonmailable.
U.S. District Judge George O'Toole YJCMTSU sentenced Dasilva to the supervised release with conditions, including not contacting victims, receiving mental health counseling and treatment, performing 500 hours of community service and refraining from alcohol.
None of the condoms exploded. Dasilva told investigators she did not think they would explode.
JONESBORO, Ga. -- A middle school security officer used a Taser on a sixth-grade boy to break up his fight with a girl Wednesday, school officials said.
Officials said the 11-year-old shocked twice with the device at Jonesboro Middle School weighs 200 pounds and refused to obey orders to stop attacking the girl, also 11, and the Taser was used as a last resort to prevent her from being seriously injured.
The two had been taken to the office to resolve an argument that started during lunch and spilled into a classroom.
"The male student literally jumped on the girl and started hitting her about the face and head," school district spokesman Charles White said. "He did not comply with directions to stop, and physical efforts to pull him off the girl were unsuccessful."
Both students were treated for injuries, none of them serious, White said. The boy was charged with assault and battery and was taken to a juvenile detention center, and later was released to the custody of his mother.
The officer is a city of Jonesboro police officer who carries the standard equipment of a pistol and a Taser, according to Jonesboro Police Sgt. Brad Johnson.

Was his name Eric? Cartman Eric? Boy, the kids grow fat so fast these days!
Btw, I stumbled on the pic of a 200lbs russian kid IIRC... aged 6. I felt slim compared to him, and.. I'm not (I'm big-boned). Will try to find it before going to bed.
If there is a 'face of child obesity', it is six-year-old, 15-stone Dzhambulat Khatokhov. Sheer size has made this boy from a poor Russian family a hero in his home town and an object of fascination in the west. Nick Paton Walsh tracks him down
A blind Turkish pensioner has been sentenced to a 26-day reading and writing course at his local public library after he failed to vote on time in an election for his village cooperative, his son said on Friday. A prosecutor in the province of Kutahya in northwest Turkey sentenced Ismail Canseven, 73, to the education course after he did not show up for the election of the cooperative's board of directors in May, Isa Canseven told Reuters.
"What am I going to do in a library? I can't see out of either of my eyes, and I can't read or write anyway," Friday's edition of the Hurriyet newspaper quoted Ismail as saying. Isa Canseven, 42, said he would appeal against the sentence served on his father. "My father can only find the bathroom by holding on to a piece of string we've tied to the (bathroom) wall," he said. In Turkey, people are obliged by law to vote in elections
Did they buy the doll here? Or was the girl just stoopid? PLEASANTON, Calif. - The perils of parenting apparently can be discovered through a classroom project. A startled 17-year-old girl swerved her car into a freeway guardrail and slammed into a pickup truck after the realistic-sounding baby doll in her care suddenly began to cry.
The teenager had just picked up the doll as part of a school project on responsible parenting minutes before the accident occurred Tuesday on I-580, said Steve Creel, a spokesman for the California Highway Patrol. The educational doll cries and wets itself and has a recording device that monitors how long it takes the doll's "parent" to respond to its crying.
The girl, whose named was not released because of her age, was driving around 65 miles per hour in a Mini Cooper when the fake baby sprang to tears, causing her to crash into the guardrail and swerve back onto the freeway where she hit a Ford F-350 pickup truck.
"When officers arrived, she was still caring for the baby," Creel said.
No one was seriously injured in the crash, but the CHP will pursue charges because the girl was driving without a license, he said. Driving without a license and cuddling a fake, crying baby: she's officially stooopid.
UNIONTOWN, Pa. - A police officer used a Taser to subdue a python that had wrapped itself around a man's arm and would not let go.
Steve Crilly, 47, was feeding a rat to the eight-foot-long albino Burmese python, which belongs to his daughter, when it when it bit his left hand and wrapped tightly around his left arm Wednesday night, Uniontown patrolman Ray Miller said.
"The snake was on his arm and was eating his hand," Miller told the Herald-Standard of Uniontown for Friday's editions. Crilly "was very calm, considering there was a good bit of blood," he said.
In an effort to free the man without permanently harming the snake, Miller said he shot the animal with his Taser, a gun that sends an electric shock through wired darts. The snake immediately went limp and released its grip.
Crilly was treated by paramedics at the scene for what Miller called "a nasty cut" on his hand. The snake was uninjured and remained at the home, Miller said. Crilly did not immediately return a message left at his home Thursday by The Associated Press.
Miller said the incident was unique, but not especially scary. "Snakes don't bother me," he said. "I mean, they taste like chicken, and chickens don't bother me."

Rantburg tip of the day, "how do you disenage a large reptile that refuses to let go?" Simple you use a small quanity of "old rot gut snake bite remedy" sprayed in the mouth will make the errant reptile let go pronto.
I have broken up many a food fight with this method. Once again alcohol is the solution to life's problems.
When people ask me about snakes I just say snakes don't get fleas.

SAN DIEGO - Some days, killer whales just wake up on the wrong side of the pool. A 2 1/2-ton orca that dragged a trainer underwater during a show at SeaWorld may have been put out by a spat with another whale, grumpy because of the weather or just irritable from a stomach ache, according to marine mammal experts.
"Some mornings they just wake up not as willing to do the show as others," said Ken Balcomb, director of the Center for Whale Research in Friday Harbor, Wash. "If the trainer doesn't recognize it's not a good day, this will happen." There are days I wish Gary Larson was still drawing cartoons ...
The whale, Kasatka, was back in the water Thursday for a lunchtime performance that went off without a hitch. But the show was limited to tricks that did not involve trainers getting in the water. Kasatka is gonna be a lonely killer. *sniff* Continued on Page 49

Hey, I think I'm getting this! Whilst looking for the Swedish translation for "halal", WikiP came up with this:
"Halal" the Word
The use of the term varies between Arabic-speaking communities and non-Arabic-speaking ones.
In Arabic-speaking countries, the term is used to describe anything permissible under Islamic law, in contrast to haraam, that which is forbidden. This includes behaviour, speech, dress, conduct, manner and dietary laws.
This would be the Jihadi-Burger, as seen world-wide, size 10.
A little further on:
In determining whether a food is halal or haraam (forbidden), various verses of the Quran (ayat) are frequently referenced:
.....(B)ut if one is forced by necessity, without wilful disobedience, nor transgressing due limits - then is he guiltless.
Mazel tov! But there seems to be a few details missing from the story...
Dayna Klein had only her unborn baby in mind when she instinctively covered her belly after a gunman stormed a Seattle Jewish center last summer.
Tuesday, she finally got to meet the son she saved.
Klein, who survived the rampage July 28 at the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle that killed a colleague, gave birth to Charley Paz Klein at a Seattle hospital Tuesday night, her spokesman, Howard Bragman, said. The baby weighed 5 pounds, 12 ounces.
The boy's middle name, which means peace, is in honor of Klein's co-worker, Pamela Waechter, who was shot to death. Naveed Haq, 30, is accused of forcing his way into the Belltown office, shouting epithets and killing Waechter and wounding Klein and four others.
"What can you say? This whole thing has been a great challenge," Klein's husband, Erez, said Wednesday. "Now, we have a wonderful result. And it's now time for all the next steps in life. We have a lot of new good things to do."
Police officials have called Klein a hero for saving her baby when she came face-to-face with her shooter. When the gunman pointed his weapon at her and squeezed the trigger, Klein swung her left hand over her belly to protect her fetus. A bullet went through her arm and grazed her thigh before lodging in the carpet. "It was a split second that I was able to think. I don't know how, but I was," she told the Seattle P-I after the shootings. "The only thing that occurred to me was, how I was going to save my baby? That was my one shot, my one chance of saving my baby."
Even as she was wounded and bleeding, Klein managed to crawl to her desk and call 911. When the shooter pointed his gun to her head, she handed the phone to him and persuaded him to talk to the police dispatcher. He eventually put his gun down and gave up.
Klein had worked at the federation, a Jewish charity, since 2003. Her co-workers Christina Rexroad, Layla Bush, Cheryl Stumbo and Carol Goldman also were wounded in the attack.
Since the shooting, Klein has been focused on the birth and has had to put her own recovery on hold, her husband said. "Everything has been on hold in terms of her recovery from her gunshot wound," Erez Klein said. But now that she's had the baby, they plan to consult with surgeons and decide when she will have a bone transplant.
"Everyone says Dayna saved the baby's life. Dayna thinks the baby saved her life," her husband said. "As the daddy, I'm going to say they did it together."
Everything you do comes back to you, whatever it may be. What you do as an angel, or what you do as a devil will come back and pay you for your deeds. This is the karma of preaching hate. Im kinda glad the ACLU defends these idiots to spout their idiocy.

Those religious nut bags at the Westboro Baptist Church were not welcome at this funeral for a soldier who died in Iraq. They are pretty much running for their lives and trying to drive away as fast as possible. This crowd would have torn them limb from limb.

So I take it they released this, because it seems to be from their viewpoint, in an attempt to garner sympathy for their rights being violated?
Hell, I thought it was great! I was hoping the van got tipped over and set on fire with them in it...
#2
Was wondering myself why they posted this. The only thing it will do is make Americans braver in their dealings with troop funeral desiccators. Interesting how the police just stayed out of the way. Good for them.
When the van window broke I darn near blew my coffee out the nose. What a hoot!

I'd like to watch a video of several angry people using 12-gauge shotguns loaded with 00 buckshot on these scum. If they keep this crap up, I'm sure that sooner or later I'll see that video.

Water bottles. Sleeping bags. Empty food containers.
It's an unsightly mess left behind at temporary campsites set up by illegal immigrants trekking through Maricopa County's desert areas.
And starting today, about 200 jail inmates will be cleaning it up.
Dubbed "Operation I.C.U.," because the desert requires "intensive care," Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said the desert trash pickup is a new phase in his fight against illegal immigration and an effort to improve the environment at the same time. The "Illegal Alien Campsite Clean Up" will occur monthly. "These people are coming here illegally. They're breaking the law, and they're destroying our desert," Arpaio said. "It's disgusting."
Deputies have been coming across campsites and snapping photos of the filth since Arpaio's anti-human-smuggling unit began looking for and arresting illegal immigrants in March. So far, 351 illegal immigrants have been jailed, and Arpaio said their mess needs to be cleaned up.
Deputy Chief Brian Sands estimates there are about 15 large illegal campsites in the western part of the county. They are used as "drop zones" and temporary staging areas for illegal immigrants. The immigrants will stay there anywhere from a couple of hours to several days, until they can be picked up and transported to their destinations. They usually leave in a hurry, dumping blankets and other trash. In some areas, trash piles are knee deep.
"There's all these little campsites over the years that have turned into this big mess," Sands said.
Illegal dumping not only ruins views but threatens the health of people who live or play there; over time, it pollutes the ground and groundwater. Offenders who dump trash rarely are caught, and cleanups are costly.
Arpaio said his cleanup will cost taxpayers almost nothing. Trash bags and dump trucks have been donated, and inmate labor is free. Of the 200 convicted inmates who will take part today, 10 are foreign nationals from Mexico, Arpaio said. The inmates will get an extra bologna sandwich for their work.
Today's cleanup will take place in a desert south of Lake Pleasant. Deputies will be on hand to arrest any illegal immigrants in the area. Anyone caught dumping trash also will be arrested, Arpaio said.
But cleaning up the desert has another benefit: intelligence. Deputies will sift through the trash, looking for clues that could help curtail illegal immigration even more. "We can look at these locations and tell a lot about the trash they leave," Sands said. "Our investigators don't have the time to sort through all this stuff. This gives us a chance to take a closer look."
Deputies will try to determine from the trash if other foreigners are being smuggled through Arizona. Any maps could provide a better indication of smuggling routes. "I want to pick up some intelligence," Arpaio said, "but my main mission is to save the desert.

If Pubs regain presidency in 2008, could next prez PULLEASE appoint Joe Arpaio the head of Homeland Security ? This man does not dispense unending BS like the puppet fool Chertoff. He just goes out and gets things done.
From a press release of the Young Conservatives of Texas at UT Austin. Hat tip Gates of Vienna.
AUSTIN, TX The Young Conservatives of Texas - University of Texas Chapter announced today that they will be displaying an ACLU Nativity Scene on the West Mall of the University of Texas campus on Monday and Tuesday, December 4th and 5th. The groups intent is to raise awareness on the extremity of the ACLU, and bring to light its secular-progressive efforts to remove Christmas from the public sphere. The display, the first of its kind in the nation, will feature characters that are quite a bit different than the standard crèche.
Weve got Gary and Joseph instead of Mary and Joseph in order to symbolize ACLU support for homosexual marriage, and of course there isnt a Jesus in the manger, said Chairman Tony McDonald. The three Wise Men are Lenin, Marx, and Stalin because the founders of the ACLU were strident supporters of Soviet style Communism. The whole scene is a tongue-in-cheek way of showing the many ways that the ACLU and the far left are out of touch with the values of mainstream America.
The scene will also display a terrorist shepherd and an angel in the form of Nancy Pelosi.
This is going to get them a date with the Sub-Associate Dean for Student Affairs, I just know it.
The ACLU and other left-wing extremist groups are working diligently to destroy Americans rights to the free expression of religion, said Executive Director Joseph Wyly. Weve already seen in Chicago an attempt to censor the nativity by a city government this week. Its just more evidence that there is a War on Christmas being waged by the far-left in this country.

Am I the only one who wonders whether the ACLU gets funding from the Majic Kingdom? Nature abhors a vacuum. If the ACLU can eliminate Christianity in this country some other religion must step in to fill the void. Voila! Wahhabis to the rescue.

To be fair, the YCT are a bunch of rich fratboy assholes. I'm conservative myself, but these people are priviliged jerks born with silver spoons in their mouths.

If I were them, I'd do this and get ProtestWarrior on the phone. PW could be ready at a moment's notice, in case the ACLU loving goons decide to get diverse on the YCT and rough 'em up. I LOVE it!

We need full disclosure of funding for both ACLU and CAIR. I've read in past that ACLU gets large donations from Ford Foundation and something sponsored by Rockefeller Trusts. Also, the swine Soros provides funding. As to CAIR, I suspect nearly all comes from Saoodis, but I'd like to see it documented on front pages.

Hey! I was not! :p I was in the group when I was at UTexas in the early 90s. They sponsered a speaker (I forget who it was) who came and gave Oliver North's presentation that he used to raise money for the Contras. I loved the Soviet-supplied Sandinista helicopter with the "Agricultural rocket launchers" on one slide. :)

COLUMBIA, Md. (AP) - A man charged with manslaughter in the drunken-driving deaths of two people was apparently in the U.S. illegally and had obtained a driver's license in North Carolina, according to immigration officials.
Eduardo Raul Morales-Soriano, 25, of Laurel, has been charged with two counts of homicide by motor vehicle in the deaths of Marine Cpl. Brian Mathews, 21, of Columbia, and Jennifer Bower, 24, of Montgomery Village.
Mathews and Bower, who were on their second date, were killed on Thanksgiving when Morales-Soriano allegedly slammed into the back of their car. Mathews had recently finished eight months of duty in Iraq and planned to leave the military in June.
Morales-Soriano, who police said had a blood-alcohol level four times the legal limit for driving, was not injured in the crash. He was being held in the Howard County Detention Center on $830,000 bail.
There was no record of Morales-Soriano, a Mexican citizen who worked as a landscaper, entering the U.S. legally, said James Dinkins, acting special agent in charge of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Office in Baltimore.
Morales-Soriano used his North Carolina driver's license issued Feb. 5, 2004, to obtain a license in Maryland on July 8, 2005, according to Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration, The (Baltimore) Sun reported.
In February, Morales-Soriano refused a Breathalyzer test at the scene of a non-injury accident but his license was never suspended, police said. Smelling of alcohol and failing to keep his balance, Morales-Soriano refused the test and was given four citations before being released, said Wayne Kirwan, a spokesman for Howard County State's Attorney Office.
The police officer mistakenly gave Morales-Soriano a form that was should have been sent to the motor vehicle office. Officials couldn't suspend his license as required by law when a driver refuses a Breathalyzer.
Prosecutors later dropped the charges against Morales-Soriano, noting weak evidence.
After the current criminal case against him is completed, immigration officials will begin deportation proceedings against Morales-Soriano, Dinkins said. Nope, we don't need tighter controls on acquiring ID, such as the key bit - the Driver's License. Everything is just peachy. Woop woop.

Causing a death by driving while intoxicated is premeditated murder. They deliberately went out and drank/smoked/snorted/shoved up whatever, then deliberately got in a vehicle. Start executing people for it and maybe it'll stop being so common.
