That's why you'd be better off staying on your side of the Hudson.

I heard this morning on the news that Peter Fonda called in a 911 call to report a dead body in a parked car in Pacific Palisades. Apparently the body was there for about a week. Here's the audio. TIS http://www.tmz.com/2011/01/19/peter-fond...es-los-angeles/

This is pretty scary. Someone is writing graffiti in Santa Ana, CA saying that "we gonna kill Governor Jerry Brown on Feb. 14, 2011. I'm guessing we'll never find out who wrote it, but with today's political climate, you can bet the authorities are taking it seriously. TIS Story

http://www.nwitimes.com/news/local/porte...34e8dc5f39.htmlVALPARAISO | Three Valparaiso High School students suspended earlier this week now may face criminal charges after being caught on camera snorting a prescription painkiller off a school desk.
According to Valparaiso police, an anonymous student used a cell phone camera to film three 17-year-old boys snorting crushed hydrocodone tablets, commonly marketed as Vicodin, in a classroom Monday.
In the video, three students are seen in a classroom raking a powdery substance into a line and snorting it up their noses. The boys then jerk their heads back and wipe their faces before laughing.
The student who captured the incident gave one of the school's assistant principals a copy of the video Tuesday. The school resource officer was notified and watched the video before questioning the students involved.
All three of the boys admitted to knowingly ingesting the hydrocodone. Two of them said they snorted it while the third told the officer he ingested it through his mouth.
One of the boys told the officer he received one and 1/2 tablets of the drug from an 18-year-old student, crushed the pills and cut them with sugar and flour he kept in his locker.
Police also interviewed the 18-year-old, who denied any involvement. Valparaiso police spokesman Sgt. Mike Grennes said investigators still are looking into his possible involvement and consider him a person of interest.
All three boys were suspended from school and immediately sent home with relatives. The three also were ordered to take drug tests.
Grennes said the boys may face juvenile charges, two of them for possession of a controlled substance, while the student who admitted to mixing the drugs could face a drug dealing charge. Haha, sugar and flour? Yeah let's charge him for drug dealing since that's obviously what he was doing. He wasn't just being a dumb teenager who made a mistake. Let's ruin his life.

Reading some of the comments the teacher of the class was placed on Administrative Leave. Now that is some bullshit. embcrna05 said on: January 29, 2011, 6:57 am I want to add one more comment. My husband was never interviewed as to the events of that day. He was brought to the office, read a letter, and escorted to his car. How's that for an investigation, and 'innocent until proven guilty?'
[quote]embcrna05 said: "Slappy---I will tell you where that teacher was. He is my husband and he was teaching 5 kids in the front of the classroom. This is an emotionally challenged special ed class. The students doing drugs entered the class late. There is not another adult in the room to assist with the class at all. My husband had a choice: continue teaching the lesson he started, or be a babysitter to students who refuse to engage in the classroom lessons. He had NO idea that those students were doing that. He was BUSY doing his job---teaching.
Students every single day refuse to participate in the classroom lessons. Class had already started. My husband was focused on the students in the front of the room. He has ONE set of eyes. He is ONE person. His eyes cannot possibly scan the entire room every single second of the class period.
Before you judge, perhaps you should walk in a teacher's shoes. My husband went back to school, took a 40% pay cut from his first career (business), because he wanted to teach kids and make a difference. He is there at 6 am every single day and spends a minimum of 8 hrs on the weekends at school preparing lessons. Now he is on administrative leave and may lose his job because he was focused on actually teaching, and in a 2 minute period, some students in the back snorted drugs.
Don't judge so quickly next time.

OMG!! That's horrible! What the hell set him off? Talk about having issues! Dunno. They JUST reported that a suspect resembling this guy was taken into custody in midtown Manhattan (34th Street and 7th Avenue). They don't know, for sure, if it's the same guy.

Here's the story: Geez, sounds like a horror movie. Ironically closer than you think. The same subway line on which he was caught was the setting for "The Taking of Pelham 123".

I'm glad they caught this sonofabitch - and to tell you the truth, I'm surprised the cops didn't kill him. This happened, as SC said, literally in my neighborhood. All the streets around where I live were swarming with police early yesterday evening. Streets were blocked off, and police cars were everywhere. Our local Eyewitness News reporter was stationed right around the corner from my apartment (by Adelman's Deli). And a police helicopter was circling directly overhead for around an hour and a half. I overheard the police officers talking among themselves, saying they doubted this creep would be taken alive. Well, that turned out to be a little premature, but at least they got him. Four people dead. Just horrible. IMO, this should be a death-penalty case. It would be damn-near impossible to change my opinion on this one. Signor V.

I'm from the East Bronx, Oli. Born and raised on Arthur Avenue, and I currently live in the Throggs Neck/Country Club section of the Bronx.
Yeah, unfortunately I heard the "moolie" a lot growing up. It was often used by Italian Americans in my neighborhood instead of the N word. Not that it's any less hateful, because it's not. I've never come across a single person who interpreted the word to be okay because it's actual meaning is eggplant. Think about it. You'd be telling a guy that the color of his skin resembles an eggplant. Eggplants are actually a deep shade of purple, and I've yet to meet a purple person. To justify it that way is silly. Even worse was the word tizzune, which is the actual Italian equivalant of the N word. That word is probably even more hateful.
I'm not blind to the fact that there was lots of racial tension (and outright) hate between blacks and Italians back then, but I'm not proud of it either.
