I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

There was enough sarcasm dripping out of Oex's post that I was afraid I might drown.
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation decided within eight hours of arriving at the scene that if a crime had occurred, it had happened in Georgia. It sent the van on its way. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation declined to follow up, records show.


Getting right to the heart of what really matters, I see.

One juror. One fucking douchebag who refused to convict no matter what.

You would think that, even if shooting him 8 times in the back while he's running away wasn't enough, that maybe picking up the Taser and dropping it near the body to construct a false report would get through someone's head, but hey.  That's the South for you.

At least this guy is going to jail for a little while anyway.

Convicted of involuntary manslaughter. Apparently he accidently pulled out his gun and shot the guy twice.

Then when the rest of the cops showed up moments later, he told them that the guy in the vehicle was refusing to get out. Didn't mention that the reason he was refusing to get out was that he had shot and killed him until after the EMTs showed up and noticed some bullet holes in him.

"Oh yeah, I might have shot him...."

There is at least still hope.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

He got off lucky.  Nothing involuntary about that.

Accidentally pulled his gun. He mistook his gun for ......what. What a fucking knob.

I don't get it, even in crazy ass goofy Baltimore, it was hammered into our heads that a wrong shoot meant your ass.  If you were lucky, it could only mean your job.  And this was long before cameras were everywhere.

Then again, we weren't trained to be afraid all the time.  That whole "your job is to go home safe every night" bullshit has turned law enforcement into a mess of bunker-mentality foxhole fear.  I don't recall us being afraid of shit---except of other cops, but that is a different story.  :P
