Jerry Sandusky 'serenaded' with Pink Floyd lyrics by prison inmates, report says

lucky for him it was just a serenade

OMG! "Hey teacher leave those kids alone." I hear even inmates don't take to kindly to child molesters. No sympathy from me. May you reap what you sow.

Sandusky will probably be kept in protective isolation for a very long time.

Personally, I would like to see him serve out his entire sentence in isolation.

Signor V.

It's disgraceful, the wake of destruction that he left behind. All those poor boys, defenseless and confused. Even when people saw, they turned their backs.

Natalie was riding home on her bike from the grocery store when she noticed that a hidden police speed trap had pulled over a few cars. She wrote "Speed Trap" on a paper shopping bag and held it up on the sidewalk to warn approaching motorists.

A police car pulled up to her, an officer exited the car and pulled her backpack from her and searched its contents before arresting her for felony obstruction of justice, threatening her with 3-5 years in jail. She was locked up for 12 hours before she was let go with a citation for walking on the roadway, which she insists she was not doing.

This is an example of abuse of process. There is no law against of forewarning drivers of a police speed trap. She irked a cop, who pulled her from the sidewalk, threatened and intimidated her with a charge that he knew was without merit and incarcerated her for a duration of time (that probably allowed the traffic cop to achieve his quota of arrests).

We need to stop using sanitized phrases such as "abuse of process". This guy screwed someone over; he's a punk, plain and simple.

Recently released emails from 2001 from former Penn State president, Graham Spanier, official Gary Schultz and the former athletic director suggest that school officials were ready to report allegations of Sandusky's sexual abuse, but were persuaded not to do so by none other than Joe Paterno.

While Paterno did not use email, there are email references from Spanier that suggest the officials had been in agreement to report Sandusky, but a subsequent email indicated that after discussing the matter with Paterno, they would not pursue that course. Spanier event stated that not reporting this could put them in hot water down the road.

The bucks in the civil suits, which are getting ready to be filed, just got a lot bigger.

What reasoning could have possibly motivated them to not take action? Why did they not figure the odds that eventually all of it would be exposed under cincumstances that would take it completely out of their control which is exactly what happened? Why would they not confront Sandusky?

Oli, you might just as well ask, "Why do people do stupid things? They probably figured that doing the right thing would jeopardize the University's "sterling reputation," cause chaos with the high-visibility/high-profit football francise--and, if they kept quiet, nobody'd know.

Exactly. Spanier is taking a lot of heat as he wrote that not reporting it would make the university "vulnerable" down the road if the abuse allegations surfaced. The only concern was the vulnerability of the school's reputation, and not the vulnerability of the disadvantaged boys, signing up to participate in Second Mile.

On a side note it shows the incredible power Paterno and the athletic department held at PSU. While Spanier was originally prepared to report the incident, he made a 180 degree turn, based on the implied recommendation of the coach.

Well, that's my point. Even if you're concerned only about the institution, you know that something like that could turn up in the future. So, why not get it out of the way? Kly, I guess you're right that Paterno had that much power and unfluence. He wanted to keep Sandusky. I can't believe that he was dumb enough to think that it wold all remain under wraps.

It would be interesting to explore the underlying reasons that caused these laws to be enacted. Some of them are so particular in detail that you have to think they were direct responses to certain events.

JACKSON, Miss. — A federal judge has temporarily blocked enforcement of a Mississippi law that could shut down the only abortion clinic in the state.

U.S. District Judge Daniel P. Jordan in Jackson issued a temporary restraining order Sunday, hours after the new law took effect. He set a July 11 hearing to determine whether to block the law for a longer time. Mississippi's only abortion clinic sues to stay open The law requires everyone who performs abortion at the clinic to be an OB-GYN with privileges to admit patients to a local hospital.

I posted In the OC section mid-year homicide totals for some US cities.

Michael Marin, 53, of Phoenix had just been found guilty of arson, a crime that could have put him away for nearly 16 years. Police are investigating whether poison was the cause of death.

He pops a pill at the beginning, as the verdict is read. Around 7:30 he starts going into convulsions.

Keep us abreast of developments.

That women can easily be recognised by the police because she got uncovered face and very interesting dress.

There's got to more to this story:

Woman killed after hug caused cop's gun to fire

Police say a woman was killed when she hugged an off-duty police officer in Detroit, which caused his gun to fire, fatally wounding her. Adaisha Miller was celebrating the weekend before her 25th birthday at an outside party when the tragic incident happened at around 12.30 a.m. According to police, Adaisha hugged the officer from behind, which caused his "holstered weapon to accidentally discharge." She died in hospital after the bullet punctured her lung and hit her heart. Police say they are investigating the shooting. "For this to happen to her, whether they want to call it freak accident or mistake in judgment, it should have never happened to my child," said Adaisha's mother, Yolanda McNair.

Story

How does a weapon get inverted by someone's dancing and discharge upward into someone's chest?

Of course, why is a policeman permitting someone to dance in such proximity to them that their dancing can affect the policeman's weaponry?

No clue Olivant. The story sounds quite fishy but I am no weapons expert and I'm not aware of any hostility between the police officer and the deceased.

those are mind boggling questions.

An autoloader like that S&P can be carried with a round in the chamber and the hammer cocked. That would allow the owner to draw and fire a lot quicker than if he first had to pull back the slide to chamber a round. But the trigger can be pulled with a lot less force--accidentally--if a round is in the chamber.

Can't make this stuff up...
