- ''The outrage being expressed by our ELECTED OFFICIALS concerning the myriad of beatings, torturings and killings that these BLUE GANG punks are committing with impunity, is deafening isn't it?

Tasing, kicking, grandpas, grandmas and children. Just like they learned in Iraq......''

I already found out that you can swear at them all you want but don't call them "Sonny."

My Mexican neighbors have a lot of patio parties during the summer and I've never called the cops on them even when they go past midnight. I just go over there and ask them to turn things down. Biggest problem is finding someone who speaks English if Jose (the owner of the house) isn't there.

Children with pepper spray in their eyes. WTF?

...from the ACLU. I mean they know about it, but I haven't heard about any lawsuits. Threats of lawsuits. Harsh words. No dropping of anybody from their Xmas card mailing list. Nothing.

- These ''pubic officials'' only care if they're gonna lose some money. Or do jail time, which almost never happens anymore unless they're stupid enough to mess with somebody who's rich.

on the people they arrested . One reason so many police are
sent to a party like this is many times these are gang related parties that do have a lot of the
partygoers armed .

- And since there have been no reports of missing or wounded neighbors either, it appears at least they kept the collateral damage down to wounding small children and the elderly.


Judge Flatt: Now is it true that you discharged your weapon, Officer?

Officer Raymer: Your Honor, it was a warning shot.

Judge Flatt: Um hmm, you know who you warned? A little old lady sitting on her commode 2 blocks away.

Ollie Quinn: Officer Raymer is currently under suspension.

Judge Flatt: Anesthesia is what he should be under. You know my feelings about arming morons. You arm one, you’ve got to arm them all, otherwise it wouldn’t be good sport.

Nobody's Fool

...many of whom are loaded with bombs. All-natural ingredients of course, but lethal nonetheless.



- In a few months they'll be able to walk and outsmart them, so it's best they get them off the streets now......
