When I was six, I had what I thought was a very smart idea: a stop sign just for bad buys. That way everyone who was not a bad guy could ignore it, but while the bad guys are stopped it would be easier for the police to catch them. My excuse for that idea [...]

According to The Smoking Gun, Jose Antonio Ortiz stabbed his brother-in-law, Sean Shurelds (who was flown to a hospital, where he was admitted in critical condition) due to a disagreement about Hillary Clinton vs Barack Obama. Yes, you read that right. Apparently Shurelds supports Obama, and Ortiz supports Clinton. While the two were in the [...]

I don’t remember hearing about this before. Do you? Yet, it should have been big news when it happened. A would-be bar owner angry at being denied a liquor license threatened to shoot people at the Super Bowl and drove to within sight of the stadium with a rifle and 200 rounds of ammunition before [...]

Crime investigators always have their ears open for information only a perpetrator could know—where a gun used in a murder was stashed, perhaps, or what wounds a stabbing inflicted. So imagine a detective asking a suspect about a killing, describing the crime scene to get the suspect to visualize the attack. The detective is careful [...]

I have been watching the news reports about the young, extremely pregnant female Marine, Lance Cpl. Maria Lauterbach, who disappeared almost a month ago. What has been most prominent in this case is the systematic marginalization of a young woman who dared to accuse a man, a superior officer, of sexual assault. I expected that [...]

Okay, nobody else touched this one, so I guess I will. Kasey Kazee of Ashland, Kentucky tried to hold up a liquor store, with duct tape wrapped around his face as a disguise. (Wouldn’t masking tape work better for that purpose? Sorry, couldn’t resist.) The store manager had some duct tape of his own, though, [...]

From The Smoking Gun: A Cleveland City Councilman wrote the following to a constituent who was arrested on felony drug trafficking charges. (I had to shrink it to fit this forum, so if you can’t read it, hit Ctrl + to enlarge the document.) Not at all surprisingly, the young man’s mother considers the letter [...]

First I’d like to say that by far the most important development in the libertarian race thus far is “The Libertarian Vote” study published by The Cato Institute. See: http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=6735 Briefly, 20% of voters are libertarian leaning at the beginning of the election cycle (Gallup Governance Survey). 13% are reliably libertarian. 1% wind up actually [...]

From the Houston Chronicle: Daniels says what makes his $249 lock special is its strength, its built-in panic-button feature and its looks.The lock, which fits across the entire door frame, can withstand 4,000 pounds of pressure, he said. And according to a video he uses to promote the lock, a SWAT team using a 30-pound [...]

Evan Skinner explained, “When he pulled the gun out he just had it right to my forehead and said, ‘Hey give us all over your cash.’ And I was like we don’t have very much. And he just went like that quick and clocked me. And I was like okay, that’s fine.” But it wasn’t [...]

We’ve probably all heard the story of Edith Isabel Rodriguez, who died in a Los Angeles emergency room after being refused treatment. Concerned people on the scene called 911, and were told there was nothing cops or paramedics can do, since she was already in a hospital. Hospital personnel stepped over her while she was [...]

As you may be aware, OJ Simpson’s book, titled If I Did It, describes how – if in fact he were guilty – he would have murdered his ex-wife (Nicole Brown Simpson) and her friend (Ronald Goldman). Admittedly, it’s an extremely strange idea for a book, but was also sure to be a bestseller. However, [...]

Believe it or not, this is real. I’ve been to Lakeland, and they have a helluva lot bigger problems than teenage boys stealing condoms. I bet the boys are really wanted for something else. Either that, or everyone in Lakeland is an idiot. I could go either way.

Jury nullification is a process by which a criminal jury determines that a law is unconscienable, either morally or as it applies to a specific case, and therefore is to be ignored despite the guilt of the defendant. The US Supreme Court has determined that juries do have the power to nullify, but they also [...]

Ed and Elaine Brown have been holed up in their Plainfield, NH house for months, daring federal law enforcement to bother them. While normally that’s not a problem, since I don’t want federal law enforcement to bother me at home either, Ed and Elaine Brown have been not only convicted of federal crimes, but also [...]

In a twist on the old “the devil made me do it” claim, members of Westboro Baptist Church claim that the Virginia Tech massacre was an act of God. Why would God do that? Well, apparently because people like me have been making fun of the Westboro Baptist Church ‘tards (best known as godhatesfags.com) for [...]

By GILLIAN FLACCUS, Associated Press Writer SANTA ANA, Calif. – Staffing was so inadequate at a California senior center that a rat crawled into an Alzheimer’s patient’s mouth and died there before staff noticed, a lawsuit claims. The lawsuit, filed Thursday on behalf of 90-year-old Sigmund Bock, alleges that administrators at the Paragon Gardens Assisted [...]

Orlando police have unbelievably arrested 21-year-old Eric Montanez, an activist with the charity “Food Not Bombs”, for feeding 30 homeless people in downtown Orlando. A city ordinance, supported by businesses which claim the homeless frighten away customers, prevents feeding more than 25 homeless persons within two miles of Orlando City Hall. The law does allow [...]

An Illinois woman mourns her two young daughters, swept to their deaths in Hurricane Katrina’s floodwaters. It’s a tragic and terrifying story. It’s also a lie. An Alabama woman applies for disaster aid for hurricane damage. She files 28 claims for addresses in four states. It’s all a sham. Two California men help stage Internet [...]

From Classically Liberal …sit down with the kids. Warn them. Tell that there will be people who pretend to be their friends. They hang out outsides the schools, at the malls, anywhere where kids hang out. They lurk around the internet. They will even call at home if they know the parents aren’t around. Not [...]

The video pretty much speaks for itself. It goes without saying that this jerk should never have been given authority over other people. What’s really sad is that, if not for the surveillance camera in the bar, chances are the cops would never have believed it happened. (Sorry, I tried to embed it, but the [...]

While the world watches and waits, and demands to know what killed Anna Nicole Smith (and where her son Daniel got the Methadone which killed him just five months prior – duh), a far more disturbing prescription drug-related death has occurred. Four-year-old Rebecca Riley died of an overdose of Clonidine, a drug prescribed for bipolar [...]

Renowned magician Harry Houdini is rising from the grave, 81 years after his untimely death at age 52. He’s not doing so voluntarily, though, despite his promise to contact his loved ones from The Great Beyoooooond. It seems that members of his family now believe he died, not as the result of peritonitis resulting from [...]

We’re sending out an “open call” to drug law reform folks to support the LP and the Kubby campaign. We would like to make future appeals like this to the peace community, environmentalists, immigrants rights activists, and many others, but we have to start with a base. For anyone who is involved in drug policy [...]

Posted by Steve Kubby at Kubby2008.com I’ve recently been asked a number of times — by friends, fellow Libertarians, supporters of other candidates and even my own campaign volunteers — if my personal legal situation has any bearing on my presidential candidacy. More pointedly, I’ve been asked if the fact that I’m on probation in [...]

I’ve had my share of stories and I’ve heard too many to even begin from other people. It is getting a lot worse with over 100,000 SWAT Team raids a year now, most for simple stuff like routine warrant service, and they get very out of control. http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=6476 http://freedominourtime.blogspot.com/2007/01/get-cuffs-ponch.html Check out http://www.theagitator.com/archives/cat_paramilitary_police_raids.php http://lastfreevoice.wordpress.com/2007/01/09/police-state-of-overkill http://freedominourtime.blogspot.com/2007/01/submit-or-well-kill-you.html If [...]

A few days ago, we reported about how state representative Burridge in NH responded to a constituent’s polite email in favor of decriminalizing marijuana by calling him a dumb pothead who should become a snitch and CC’ed the local cops. Now, Homeland Stupidity reports that all the calls and emails that Burridge has received as [...]

OK, Free Staters…time to show what y’all are made of and make some serious stink about this out of control politician.

This psychotic individual is clearly legislating while [...]
