Stick a fork in her… erm, or something, she’s done.

For me, it comed down to who I hate the least on the Dem side: I hate Hillary more than I hate Obama.

Illinois Father Dies After Shielding Daughter When Car Jumps Curb

Posted by tizona on May 7, 2008

This man is hero, defined

CHICAGO — Chicago police say a man died as he tried to shield his four-year-old daughter from an auto allegedly driven by a man under the influence of a controlled substance.

Joseph Richardson was walking his daughter Kaniyah to a McDonald’s for burgers late Monday when a car jumped the curb. Police say the 39-year-old Richardson grabbed his daughter just before the car slammed the two into a fence.

Richardson was pronounced dead at the scene. Kaniyah was taken to Comer Children’s Hospital in serious condition.

Police say the driver of the car, 32-year-old Angelo Thomas of Chicago, was charged with two felony counts of aggravated DUI. Witnesses say the man was driving erratically before the accident.

Richardson, a church musician, was the father of three, two girls and a boy, all under the age of 10.

It has been said “only the good, die young”. Rest in peace, good and brave sir.

Chicago…The dude that caused this…MURDER ONE. Forget that shit “aggravated DUI”.

Bailiffs kill man who fired shots inside Florida courthouse

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - Bailiffs shot and killed a man who opened fire in the lobby of a downtown courthouse Wednesday afternoon, sheriff’s officials said.
One of the two bailiffs who fired at the unidentified man suffered a non-life-threatening shoulder wound, Pinellas County Sheriff’s Sgt. Jim Bordner said. At least four other people were in the lobby at the time but no one else was hurt, Bordner said.

The gunman entered the courthouse shortly after 1 p.m. Wednesday and approached a security checkpoint wearing a backpack. A deputy ordered him to remove the backpack and place it on a conveyor belt, but the man instead threw it on the ground and opened fire with a semiautomatic handgun, Bordner said.

Deputies B.J. Lyons and Marvin Glover returned fire, fatally wounding the man, who died later at a St. Petersburg hospital. Lyons, 58, who suffered the shoulder wound, was released from the hospital by late afternoon.

Cassandra Grady, 40, and her 15-year-old daughter had gone to the courthouse for a hearing and saw the gunman before the shooting. Grady told the St. Petersburg Times the man asked her where he could file a petition, and that she saw a gun handle in his backpack.

“I told my daughter, ‘Run for your life.’ Then I started running. I was trying to run to warn them. He started shooting. I heard a round of shots: pop-pop-pop, pop-pop-pop.”

Grady was shaken but grateful. “I just want to say, ‘Thank you, God.’ It could have been us.”

Pinellas County Clerk of Court Ken Burke said one of his office’s windows was shattered by a bullet. None of the clerk’s staff was hurt, but he said a worker had just emerged from the elevator when the gunshots erupted.

The courthouse was closed after the shooting and is expected to resume normal business on Thursday. Investigators entered the courthouse a few hours after the shooting after a careful search of the gunman’s backpack.

Authorities did not release additional information about the man or any motive Wednesday afternoon.

“It’s unfortunate that a life was lost, but the public, employees, judges and others in (the) courthouse were properly protected,” said Judge Robert Morris, the chief judge of Florida’s Sixth Judicial Circuit.

See, this way all you have to do, is bring a couple of buckets and mops. Easy deal.

Will someone please take this guy out the back and fuckin’ shoot him?

This is a contender for the Best Headline Ever Award.

Spot, grab some tissues, because not even a grown man could not be saddened by this.

Vote Howard! Since you guys couldn’t vote in the election, you can at least do your duty to give some ABC staff small strokes.

I’m definitely moving to Queensland!

What’s the bet that this guy is sentenced harshly?

Another week, another stupid article from Paul Keating.
