Is it Big Brother or is it Crime Prevention?

A while back there was a scuffle over a site called adamsblock.com that put up a 24 / 7 vid cam to watch a section of the city where I guess Adam lived. http://www.justin.tv/adamsblock. You can read a full story about this here. Well after a while of the video cam, someone found out who was doing the cams and wanted to take it over and/or stop it, so they basically threatened Adam and since he had posted some real information about himself on his website, well, they found him. And upon finding poor Adam, they made a ruckus like gangstas do so that he would stop the filming.

Watch live video from Adam’s Block (San Francisco) on Justin.tv

This turned into a sensation of a new site, called Ourblock.com which says it is about to launch an effort to have cams all over the country showing all kinds of stuff. What a concept. Not much will happen in my neighborhood, I’m awake at 2am on the internet, and the rest of this town is fast asleep. We don’t have cop cars running here all day long, they are out patrolling the main drags for drunk drivers taking back roads, (that’s how main our drags are here).

I can see merit in this concept. I see it now. But I also see that it can be a problem because gangstas don’t like this kind of thing. Not to mention all the camera hogs. I guess bored old ladys can substitute as cops late at night while everyone else is fast asleep. I guess insomniacs will be deputized to help the cause. It’s seems like some form of reality TV. But the truth of this is that normal citizens might be able to take back the streets. Or will they?

Suspect helps Deputy after Car Chase leads to Heart Attack

A car chase ended in a Deputy having a heart attack because of stress. While he was suffering the heart attack one of the passengers of the vehicle, that was handcuffed tried to help him, but unfortunately he died. Meanwhile. Deputies charged the driver with involuntary manslaughter after consulting with prosecutors because the chase led to the stress that caused the Deputy’s heart attack.

While this seems par for the course, maybe in South Carolina, it begs the question; if a Deputy suffers a heart attack while discharging his duties of booking a thief, is the thief liable for the medical situation of that Deputy?

Louise Ogborn gets 6 million dollars from McDonalds for stupid strip search

humh — Sat, 06 Oct 2007 03:02:25 +0000

I’m here to vote for the stupidest manager of McDonalds and the most disgusting crime of the year. Poor Louis Ogborn was subjected to unspeakable horror and torture all because her manager complied with a prank caller’s horrific orders to strip her nude and torture her. It started when he called and claimed that he was a police officer. Rather than check the story and call the police, the manager ordered her to strip nude and for over 2 hours various things took place which included outright sexual assault of the teenager by the managers ugly stupid boyfriend along with others. Finally a maintenance worker at the restaurante was ordered to come in and resume the tortue and refused to comply. Wow! it takes a maintenance man and not a manager to realize it’s all wrong. Please McDonald’s fire your manager!

So Now someone at McDonald’s is claiming that the teenager, who will be living with huge trust issues and this nightmare the rest of her life, is taking advantage of the system. Pleeease!

Warning: This is a pretty disturbing and graphic video, but shows just how stupid people are when it comes to this type of thing. It’s so disturbing in fact, I don’t even want it on this blog. Here’s the link

Taser of 56 year old woman – more police brutality

humh — Wed, 19 Sep 2007 04:56:15 +0000

The family of 56-year-old Emily Delafield said it would take the Green Cove Springs Police Department to court.

In April 2006, officers with the police department tasered the wheelchair bound woman 10 times because she was wielding a hammer and knives. One has to question exactly how far she could go with the weapons and what danger anyone was really in when the woman was in the wheelchair.

According to a police report, one of the officers used her Taser gun nine times for a total of 160 seconds and the other officer discharged his Taser gun once for a total of no more than five seconds.

A medical examiner found Delafield died from hypertensive heart disease and cited the Taser gun shock as a contributing factor. On her death certificate, the medical examiner ruled Delafield’s death a homicide.

Another great case of great stupidity where a woman in a wheelchair somehow has the upper hand on a group of cops. Has anyone heard of a shield or talking people down before resorting to such an extensive measure as multiple tasers.

Immigrant Car Dealer kills his employees

humh — Tue, 31 Jul 2007 21:04:34 +0000

Now we have immigrants under stress, owning their own business, and going wild. Rolandas Milinavicius was charged in the shooting deaths of Inga Contreras, 25, and Martynas Simokaitis, 28. All are from Lithuania. Why? It appears that the two workers Inga and Martynas kept asking for a raise and Rolandas unable to deliver, just went wild, smashing up cars, breaking windshields and shooting his workers.

Sensless Violence kills Mother and Daughters in Cheshire

humh — Wed, 25 Jul 2007 01:48:57 +0000

More violent predators let out on work release after serving only a few years of a nine year sentance, Steven Hayes and Joshua Komisarjevsky should be burned to death themselves for the sensless selfish violence they perpetrated upon a kind and giving family from Cheshire, Connecticut.

Early in the morning the criminals broke into the Petit’s home, tied the two daughers, an 11 year old and 17 year old to thier beds, brutally raped one of them, beat the father with a baseball bat and waited until 9am before taking Jennifer Hawke-Petit to the bank to withdraw money. Except for their stupidity of waiting outside, they would have gotten away. Quick thinking Ms. Petit alerted a teller of the situation and police quickly went to the crime scene, but arrived only minutes after the two killers had poured gasoline around the bedrooms of the two daughthers and set the house on fire. With the house on fire they spotted the two fleeing suspects.

Mr. Petit was able to jump up the stairs from the basement where he had been after being beaten half to death . He stumbled his way outside delerious, only to find that his entire family had been killed in the brutal senseless attack. The fire department arrived within minutes and when one fireman climbed into one of the bedrooms, he quickly turned back upon seeing the gruesome discovery of the daughter tied to the bed. Mrs. Petit had been strangled.

The mother and daughters had both been involved in various charities that they started raising as much as $50,000 for various causes that they felt worthy. So the world loses a few more good decent, kind and selfless people while we gain two sensless dispicable criminals who will likely sit in jail a long time wasting millions on public defense attorneys and the time and funds of taxpayers who guarantee them that they will get a fair shake. The Petit family never had a chance of getting a fair shake when these two bafoons entered their home and took their very life from them.

How Sad!
