as for the lib media.... yer right. remember the story of my uncle who was in an armistice day parade in WA state, after WW1 (like 1917?)?[ya, he was a stud; married my 20 y/o aunt when he was 60!] anyways, he was shot by a communist, aswell as 1-2 other soldiers. i guess the communists were kinda big back then.... i dunno the whole political climate. after my uncle died in 1981, we found some old newspaper articles describing the event. he had always told us he was shot DURING the war! anywho, the paper very matter-of-factly described the events at the parade and what ensued, with no spin, gloss or opinion. Basically, the 2 suspects were taken to the local jail. a mob scene ensued and they took the 2 suspects out of the jail (hec, everyone at the parade saw who the shooters were), CASTRATED them, and then hung them from a bridge! NOW there's good 'ol frontier justice! and the ONE article we read just reported it, never criticized or dressed it up. we never saw the rest of the ensuing newspaper articles... maybe i should try and read the old archives one day from Centralia/Chehalis newspapers. (this was actually in Doty, which is now almost a ghost-town, but they may have had their own newspaper back then). i'd be curious to see what else was said or followed up.

and none of the kids needed trauma counselling, they just learned a lesson from a real-life experience. if that same thing happened today, all those bleeding hearts would be front and center.

okay, i thot they found the blood in close proximity to the bodies/ near the front door and walkway area. AND, i thot they had all kinds of video tape of the investigation being done (at least the tapes that weren't erased by idiot Judge Ito!!). So how could fermin plant blood knowing all that taping was going on? (or was he allged to have swapped samples later....but still...how did he get OJs blood??)

sorta right MD, but i believe the saying goes, "the mounties always catch their man". what they didn't add in was..."they're just not allowed to chase them in a car"...

Confused, actually I know very little how your L.E. really works up there. I always thought Canada as liberals[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] who restricted the hands of L.E.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img] Someday, I would like to visit the Great White North (even though we had more snow in Ca. this past winter[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]) Go ride with you and the family and ride out with the L.E. up there[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] To get a better understanding[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

MD, movie was Armageddon. But it also reminds me of the one with Morgan Freeman as USA Prez, Tea Leoni is the media chick who makes her career out of breaking the story.

Thank you[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I just watched it last night too[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] For the life of me, I couldn't remember the title[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Didn't see that movie[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]Can't say I've heard of it either[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

he was definitely in WW1. read his diary of it after he died. he was really young, and it sounded like they drank a lot and chased skirts. (doesn't every soldier, in every war?? and who could blame them when every day could be their last day). plus, that's probably the only time he had to write in the diary. i think he was either embarassed to tell us it happened during what essentially amounted to a 'Welcome Back' parade, or i was too young when he was alive for him to give the full and technical explanation. Technically, he was a soldier in uniform when he got shot tho! there was nothing in his diary about being shot during the war, so i'm pretty sure it happened like the newspaper reported it. and yes, the mob castrated, then hung the suspects! and all 3 events took place on the same day.

RU trying to be a detective and analyze and question the integrity of this story?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] that's okay, it's the training, right?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
