The outrage will come when a city contract employee assaults or rapes someone on the clock, and it comes out later who they were. A that point the elected officials should be hung out to dry.

The article I read said they were garnishing her wages. At any rate, for the rest of her life, every dime she makes, she will have to remember what she did and what she owes. I like the idea that this guys would forgive the 1/2 million she owes if she would just admit that she fabricated the whole thing. I'm willing to bet that when that offer went out all the race baiters jumped in to say they'll cover some of the tab; they couldn't bear the embarrassment of the truth coming to light. Of course, it wouldn't matter since no main stream media outlet would report it anyway.

  So?  Tawana Brawley's "rape" was reported by every news agency in the country and was later found to be a hoax for which she owes half a million dollars in restitution.  I don't care how many "news" agencies report something, it doesn't make it true.    The only thing that is fact is that this event was reported by someone who has a motive for revenge on these officers.  It very well could have happened, but my BS meter is detecting high levels.

  I guess what I was referring to was the electrons from an EMP being carried through power lines.  Based on what I gathered from the interwebz concerning an event like this it seemed like the consensus from smart talking people was that this would not have any effect on electronics unless they were plugged in on a line that surged.   As for an EMP from a nulcear device, who knows?  I guess there are nuclear devices designed specifically for that purpose, but would it really kill all electronics the way described in One Second After?  When was the last time we conducted a nuke test? 

  No such thing.   This is why I was curious about the 1859 event, since they're talking about how that was melting wires, from what I assume was an overload of electrons.  I would think something like that screaming down power lines would zap most things attached, especially if it was turned on.  And, correct me if I'm wrong, I figured that electronics most effected would be ones with itty bitty circuit boards and such that can't take the juice, but would likely be fine so long as they weren't connected to power or switched on.  I dunno, I'm only familiar enough with electronics to fix my kid's toy car when he smashes it into something too hard.

My BS meter is going off.

  We don't have rights at the expense of others.  That is what this is about.  As an employer I should be able to ask you anything that I think is relevant to hiring you.  Criminal background is relevant for any business dealing in money, which by definition is nearly every business out there.    I should be able to ask "may I do a criminal background check on you."  If the applicant says "no" then I should not have to hire him.  It's that simple.  Just like "do you use illegal drugs?"  If the applicant says "I don't want to answer the question", then I should have the right to show him the door.  It is MY business.  Not the convicted felon; not the city government's.  It's mine, mine mine mine mine that I have used MY money to start and MY money and hard work to make successful.  Why should I be told what I can and can't ask when hiring a potential employee?  Denying a job to someone doesn't infringe on anyone's rights any more than telling someone they can't come on my private property.  Telling an employer that he can't even inquire into a potential employee's past when it is relevant to the business is infringing on the employer's rights 100%.

  Well, I remember when I was young when our house was struck by lightning, and our TV and VCR was fried.  Would not the same thing happen from an EMP for devices that are plugged into an outlet that gets surged? 

I thought that class of people weren't allowed to vote.

Perhaps it is not as common as I thought. Some of that was in regard to clearances, and a couple others were actually employers.

I think they hedged their bets on burning the plan rather than close hold the intel and risk another embarrassing, successful attack by AQ. I don't think there is anyone qualified outside of the few people who know all the intel related to this threat to definitively say if it was right or wrong. I will say, however, if the circumstances of the intel was such that they knew of imminence of hostilities but could not narrow it down enough to effectively target offensively and defensively, they probably made the right call. By doing this they likely caused the enemy to back off rather than risk conducting a mission they knew was burnt. The damage done may be a combination of the enemy using better OPSEC in the future and maybe killing a source or two, but who knows what they had planned and how damaging it would have been to us? I doubt anyone thought the WTC could be brought down by a bunch of goat herders or that an Ambassador of the United States would be raped and murdered, but it happened. I'm gonna say that driving these guys back underground was probably a good choice.

  Anyone dumb enough to rent their house out via section 8 deserves what's coming to them.  That's like getting a hog then getting mad that it craps everywhere and tears up the yard.

  11.b. on a 4473 asks if you are under indictment for a felony, so I don't know how that works in his world as someone who holds an actual FFL, but I figure that appropriate officials at the ATF have been notified.  If they haven't already pulled it I would assume that they've taken some action to nullify it so he isn't doing transfers any more.    On another note, over the years I've filled out a whole lotta paperwork for various things and one question I've seen many times is whether or not I've ever been charged with a felony.  Maybe that is specific to someone who works in a job with access to dangerous things or sensitive information, but I would think many employers would ask that question, especially in a mostly free state like Tennessee where you can be fired without cause.    Since he works in the medical field I would think that would be a relavant question since he would be around controlled narcotics.  Perhaps some of the nurses here could chime in and give insight to that one, since I'm working on an assumption.  At any rate, he'll have to answer "yes" to that question whenever it comes up for the rest of his career, and then have to articulate how/why he was orginially charged.  Since Lenny is such an over-the-top moonbat, I figure his explanation for why he was taken into custody by Marxists-Nazi gunhating liberal jackbooted gestapo stazi spetznatz operatives for the People's Republic of Davidson County, will get him shown the door.  Whether he gets convicted or not, it doesn't matter at this point for him.  He has stepped on his crank so hard he'll be feeling the pain until he's 90 years old.... assuming that he doesn't get shot between now and then pulling a stupid stunt.

Ziiiinnngggg!

Gonna have to answer that block differently from now on, won't he?

Yeah, they're no joke down there either. I found out the hard way as a kid that they are amphibious. We were hit by a hurricane or tropical storm and the streets in the neighborhood flooded, so of course, as soon as the band passed over and it died down a bit we went outside to swim in the flooded streets (about 2-3ft). About 5 minutes or so into it I realized I was being bit, then I realized they were all over my torso. As I'm smacking these little monsters on me I noticed that there were hundreds of them, all around me, just floating on the surface. It was like Sharknado, only with ants instead of sharks and a hurricane instead of a tornado.... and better production budget.

I haven't seen a 9mm smaller/slimmer and lighter than a DB9. Of course, for those reasons it needs a bit of grippy tape on the grip, cause it'll try to jump out of your hands

Ninja, please!

No we can't. If we could it would have been dead 18 pages ago.

I think that is a very misleading number since it's comparing apples and oranges. Law enforcement is an offensive force while civilians are strictly defensive. I'm not excusing shoots like the one in LA where they shot up the women in the truck, but by default police are going to be exposed to regular situations that citizens would likely never encounter in their life.

Discrimination against felons? Are they a protected class now? I'm having a hard time keeping up.

  And in some cases you do have a choice.  Best make the good choices that prevent obvious conflict, or don't.  One has a much, much higher chance of landing you in criminal or civil court.

I'd say were screwed come 2015. I have been stocking up on lower receivers so at least I can pass rifles on to my kids when they become of age that aren't Kommiefornian neutered models. That is assuming they don't just ban them outright.

Ha, of course it's a behavioral issue. Doesn't change that something is due when it's due. Wow, how things have changed.

It used to be you couldn't carry in a place that serves alcohol, such as any restaurant. It seems many states are changing that silly rule over the past decade.
