There’s likely going to be a couple bitches about this – I would hope – but whatever…
What the fuck is ‘honourable’ about murdering people whom you attempt to rule with a retarded iron fist?
What would you do if roles were reversed? Oh you didn’t think about it that way….
because you’re a huge, flaming pile of douche.
Sometimes I think the best profession for me would be executioner. At least then on occasion I would enjoy my job. —ze IdiotZ be plentifulz

i know who can play him in the movie of the week http://images.cheezburger.com/completestor…
YES! That’s it PG! I was wondering why I got such a creepy vibe from his appearance!! You know, other than the horrible things he did.
He was a very bad man, to be sure. Y’know who else is a bad man:
http://media.zenfs.com/en_us/News/Hollywoo…
Yeah, I said it.
good grief, you’re driving the train off the tracks http://www.cartoonaday.com/images/cartoons…
I agree, zed.
I had a really really icky feeling hearing Obama speak about how awesome it is that someone was killed and drug through the streets.
I thought we were “better” than doing essentially the same thing that shittard did. But I guess not.
It’s the hypocrisy that kills me, really.
Hey PK and all you other bleeding hearts out there. The retaliation against Gaddafi is about taking out an unhealthy disease on our planet. This is a tremendous Success. This man tormented, killed, tortured, starved a country almost to its death. He was a tyrant and he is dead. This is indeed a great day for all that is right about this world. One more person who bombs planes is not with us.
Oh and Ivan, you are right, a Very bad man, BUT, not really comparable to
http://thejerseybackup.com/2009/08/27/week…
LOL @ “unable to rise above the rank of Colonel”
Let that be his epitaph.
me? a bleeding liberal. HA. HA.
Um no.
My point is, glorifying doing the same thing as what someone else did that made them so monstrous sucks.
I don’t feel bad he’s dead or that he was tortured, but don’t claim to be all morally superior and then pull this shit.
uh… ok…
I wasn’t talking about Gaddafi or Libya, despite how it also applied….
but a fear of slander has me mum on my intended target(s).
Let’s just say the news can be enraging at times…
Okay, I confess. I’m in the dark here.
Someone going on trial locally for a so-called “Honour Killing”?
I’m actually surprised it wasn’t in the herald…
I was quite sickened by it none-the-less.
Where did you learn of it?
I read about it this morning…
but it isn’t in the herald NEWSPAPER….
Just read something in the Mope & Wail. I was wondering when that case was going to go to trial. Kingston Mills Lock is literally a 2 minute drive from my parent’s place. Even though it’s close to the 401, it’s not the sort of place that someone unfamiliar with the area would find by accident, unless they were a pleasure boater or had a historical interest in the Rideau canal.
Nauseating.
i’ve been following the case, there is no such thing as an *honour* killing. it’s fucking murder, sorry about the confusion zedman http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/article…
I’d be very curious to learn exactly how they learned of the spot to murder those four women. Had they been there before or did someone from the area advise them, with a nudge and wink.
Killing Daffy and his other sons is smart. Now the loyalists have less to fight for and most will give up. Not to mention he died better than the ways he killed lots of people. No sympathy for any dictator, especially that frizzy haired fuck. It’s easy to sit here in Canada and be critical of people using violence, but they had no choice and if your family and town was massacred by the government you wouldn’t be too kind to captured leaders.
OH. THAT.
There’s nothing honourable about those killings, as PG said. THe father and brother are awful awful pieces of shit. The end.
this is a very good documentary http://shows.ctv.ca/InTheNameOfTheFamily.a…
just read the article. that is sickening
if you like fiction “a thousand splendid suns” is an excellent book. really makes you think
What I couldn’t get my head around is the fact that on a couple of radio shows the outpouring of sympathy for that cold blooded, ruthless, murderous son of a bitch Wacky Kadaffi. Oh, poor Momaor, they beat and then killed him instead of putting him on trial. WTF is that. When the Partisans strung up Mussolini the World cheered (except Dolph baby). Good riddence and hopefully we will take care of the rest of these dicators.
Oh and one of the biggest “poor Kadaffi” people was, wait for it, no surprise, that idiot Scott Taylor a supposed military expert. Fuck I almost puked.
Official from Amnesty International has said the people that killed the dictator should be prosecuted. No respect for that organization anymore. Gaddafi apologists need to move to a dictatorship and then tell me how much sympathy they have for these leaders. Ship them off to Syria, Zimbabwe, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, etc.
Ideally he would have been arrested and put in a police car and then put on trial. Ideally he wouldn’t have kidnapped, tortured, and murdered his people. Ideally he wouldn’t have given explosives, machine guns, and RPG’s to the IRA and other groups. Ideally he wouldn’t have ordered a civilian jet liner to be blown up.
Revolutions and civil wars are bloody, and people oppressed by a dictator might just maybe have some hostility built up in them.
Agreed 100% about Scott Taylor, Ossifer Tim. Good NCOs are the backbone of any professional military but history is replete with examples of why you shouldn’t allow a jumped up corporal more importance than he merits.
Ian, why are you giving him a promotion? He was only an Infantry Private. My apologies to all the excellent Infantry Privates out there.
But Ivan look at the mayhem and murder and genocide that other corporal carried out between 1939 and 1945 – Herr Hitler. He made Gaddafi look like a piker.
I can just picture the get together in Hell when Hitler, Mussolini, Amin (another corporal I think), Hussein, Bin-Laden et al welcome their latest inductee into the Devils Despots. The only one that’s not far from joining their club is Mugabe.
As for the dildo who did the honour killing, speaks volumes about a certain culture doesn’t it? There’s an excellent piece written by Chrisitie Blatchford in the National Post today that gives all the details.
two bitches for the price of one…living large
Unfortunately Canada wasted money helping that country….and what will Canadian taxpayers get out of it? Nothing. Super poor return on investment.
“Good riddence and hopefully we will take care of the rest of these dicators.”
I can’t wait for Bush and Cheney to get theirs too, BT!
No doubt as soon as Crawford, Texas falls to the Taliban, George W. will be dancing the hempen jig from the back of a Toyota Landcruiser.
Here’s the Blatchford article
http://fullcomment.nationalpost.com/2011/1…‘i-would-do-it-again’-court-hears-horror-of-an-alleged-honour-killing/
It’s possible. Taliban seems to be doing pretty well for itself considering.
that gingrich is a strange little fucker and that crazy lady is a hoot. good fodder for talk shows
Thanks Baz. Excellent piece. If you want to raise your BP to near tachycardia levels read her book “Helpless” about the reign of terror that the residents of Caledonia have lived under for the last 5 years. And their complete betrayal by the provincial government.
LOL “terror.”
LMAO “residents.”
——-
Speaks volumes about a certain culture doesn’t it?
——-
And I hear they started the Crusades, KKK, Holocaust, and the BackStreet Boys too!
Speaks volumes about how you feel about a certain culture is more like it.
A sad case to be sure. That social services and the school Geeti attended did not pick up on anything was incredible. Hopefully, the father and brother will be put into the general population and then they can decide whether they “would do it all again” or not.
As for Ghadaffi, be careful what you wish for. Elements of the rebel force seem to be scumbags as well. With incidents of rape, torture and indescriminately targeting black Libyans for abuse and murder. As well, the rebels shot a number of stray dogs, chopped them up and forced Ghadaffi loyalists to eat them.
We Canadian taxpayers spent how much to put these guys in power?
I heard a statement on CBC radio that is very true. They said if Ghadaffi had lived and gone to trail any myths about him that his few supporters kling to would would have been dispelled, but the way he died may turn him into a martyr in the eyes of those who still followed him; thus creating an even deeper division between the two sides.
LOL please provide a source for the stray dog comment. That one is hilarious. Do they even have stray dogs? I thought they had stray camels. And the rebels have lots of work cut out for them to be close to Gaddafi’s madness.
http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/article…
Ivan I have a copy of the Blatchford book, I’m just finishing Woman among the Warlords, illuminating about the truth going on and supported by the US and allies.
I flip between that and Keef Richards book – sublime to stoned?
What is different about Gadaffi & say…Obama.
Obama has drone aircraft he can & has killed American citizens in other countries without having to follow the US Constitution on an Americans right to due process of the law !
http://www.usconstitution.net/xconst_Am5.h…
http://www.larouchepac.com/node/19797
How is a US president any different than a murderous African Dictator, when he superceeds the US Constitution he SWORE to uphold ?!?
Also on topic… the second wife who is also charged is just as bad IMO as her husband & son.
Its what keeps us all balanced, Baz. Let me know your final thoughts on Woman/Warlords. I’m curious.
Taking the boat across Peteys cesspool this morning I was treated to the site of half of our fleet of operational Sea Kings in the air at one time, circling the peninsula like 3 wheezing decrepit fat old Sitting Bulls attacking a wagon train.
The maintenance lads at Shearwater must have been working 3 days strait to pull that one off.
I’ve always dreamed about flying over the harbour in a Sea King. Low over the city. Sigh.
Thanks for the article PG. The more I learn; the angrier I get. Directing that anger in the right direction is the main task now.
Wheelie – regarding my comment about a certain culture.
How can you transport an 11th century culture to 21st century Canada and expect it to fly, or in this case, float?
Ivan, hopefully, by this time next year it will be someone else’s cesspool, as the Bedfordite gets the long overdue boot up the arse and we are given a Mayor with vision, skills and a hatred for in camera meetings.
Who do you think are the candidates? I’m hoping for Savage, or anyonebutputzface.
welcome to my world commander, i find air boxing helps or riding in the rain^^not useful i know but it beats yelling til i’m hoarse
Wheelie – next summit ask me to tell you the story of me flying over Halifax and down the South Shore as far as Lunenburg in the right hand seat of a Canadair Tutor. Its a long story but the moral is “Never underestimate the benefits of sleeping with your editor” Giggity.
On the subject of the Kingston case, that old son of a whore seems to think that what he did was both a cultural requirement and a religious duty and I’ll be triple-damned in hell before I validate that gutless psychopath’s medieval worldview by agreeing with him. But I do wonder, how many imams in this country are praising him in their Friday services.
i hope it doesn’t become *trendy* ibimb
Hey PG: What time you get to the shop in the morning?
10 am…why? gonna come by? with the fur baby? i just met a miniature schnauzer puppy^^
so, explain to me then, why was he a bum buddy to the bush’es, obama, and any other u.s. big wheel? he was only their friend, when the u,.s. was getting the oil. and when the other idiots decided to overthrow him, they tossed gadattyfuck to the curb. let this be a lesson to all countries around the world. if the u.s. doesn’t get it’s way, you will get a hit squad sent after you. why else would the u.n. be involved. they didn’t go in for saddam, did they? they wanted to stay out of it. but now, obama holds their nuts in his hand, thanks to the bush’es.
and yes zzz, the other thing that you allude to is just as revolting.i thought this was canada, not some third world country? but i spose, if you bring your retarded religious beliefs with you, then we are all fucked.
i just hope these assholes, get the death penalty, but knowing the canada cort system, they will likely get a free pass, or just fuck off out of the country altogether.
Nothing funny about it Sodeypop. Neither is the persecution of blacks by Libyan rebels. However I haven’t mastered the art of cutting and pasting onto this site yet. Now that is funny!
I’m certainly no fan of Ghaddafi, he deserved what he got. However, this has to with oil and trying out weaponry. Toppling a dictator is a premise. Let’s go after al-Assad (Syria) and al-Bashir (Sudan) then. Oh that’s right, they’re not sitting on a shitload of oil. The hypocrisy of our leaders is embarrassing. The importance of human rights is in direct proportion to the amount of fossil fuel under their feet.
Getting away from Ghaddafi and what this bitch is about, when the dirtbags are sentenced, I vote for a sentence of cleaning toilets and floors at women’s shelter for the rest of their lives. Plus the father’s money? It can go to various women’s causes as well and he can sign the cheques.
well said critter guy, as always. i could try to talk you thru your c and p troubles, but i’m afeared it would only make it worse
10 am???? Yipes! Maybe next Friday I’ll pop ’round. Back on nights and finish at 7am
I see your point, Senior Gekko, but I have this awful habit of running into Muslims who are awesome people.
My experience is that overwhelmingly they are the same as Christians/whatevers I know, just that the practical stuff likefadting and praying 5 times a day is more stringent than other religions. Otherwise, the majority don’t do “honour killings”. I don’t judge all Christians by Freddie Phelps or the Crusades, I’m sure as hell not going to let a news item change my opinion of people who have treated me awesomely.
I know this is just a difference of opinion. I’m not golding a grudge dude.

There are approx. 30,000 Afghan immigrants in this country. The majority of them haven’t killed their wives or daughters, nor probably ever will. Violence against women and girls is hardly a culturally specific problem.
The media loves to bring out the hysterical xenophobes with a good “honour killing” story. Lots of Western men use fucked up misogynistic attitudes to justify killing Western women too, but you’ll never see some sensational headline like “Man Kills Wife Because of Rampant Misogyny and Western Patriarchal Culture”. Certain Eastern European countries condone honour killings as well but, chances are, if a white European immigrant killed his wife and daughters, we’d probably just chalk it up to the fact that he was a misogynistic psycho and leave it at that.
Has anyone tried this stuff?http://www.thinkgeek.com/caffeine/c87a/
Ivan, finished the warlords book, if half of it’s true then Afghanistan is almost as corrupt as the Quebec construction unions.
First chapter of Blatchfords Caledonia book has been read and I’m already uber pissed off.
No surprises there Baz. Just about every book I’ve read by Brit/Yank/Canuck soldiers involved in mentoring/training says that corruption/incompetence is endemic and those few men of senior rank who are honest/competent don’t tend to last long.
When I read the Blatchford book it burned a hole in my stomach big enough for the Snowbirds to to loop-de-loops in. Canadians don’t have to go to Central Asia to find lawless anarchy and gutless officials. I hope the citizens of Caledonia are getting honking big tax rebates every year; because whatever public services they are paying for, they sure as fuck aren’t getting.
Aaaarggghhhhh! NEIGHBORHOOD bARsTUCKS NOT OPEN UNTIL 10:30….

well said meow, but sharia law is feked. what am i saying, i find all religion intolerable
starbucks not open until 10? what is up with that? Always a good idea to keep some of those ‘double shot’ macchiattos in the fridge!
Regarding the original bitch, I too, am appalled at the lack of action by Canadian authorities. I have fucking had it with all this cultural heritage bullshit. That’s not supposed to be how we roll.
Here’s a quote that I think exemplifies this: when the Charles James Napier, the Governor of Bombay was approached by Hindu priests complaining about the prohibition of suttee (the practice of burning widows alive on their husband’s funeral pyres)
“You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”
How can something like this happen in this day and age in Canada? The True North strong and free? WTF?

Gotham City can breathe a sigh of relief. My “jones” has now been satisfied. Surprisingly enough, tossing 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream into a cup of cold Sanka and crumbling a Mars bar on top of it is nowhere near as tasty as it sounds so, like laser eye surgery, this is something that I will leave in the hands of professionals – not keen hobbyists. >: )
I always liked that Napier quote , too.
this is interesting admiral, and won’t make your head explode http://www.thestar.com/news/article/106307…

Fuck you, cocksucker.
Isn’t it ironic that our boys and girls are dying in Afghannyland to right the wrongs against humanity in that country and yet an Afghan family moves to Canada to commit their atrocities here by continuing to rule (read that as kill) their females with an ironclad Islamic-Sharia fist?
And the autopsy on Kadaffi is wasted. Surely what killed him was the way he treated those he was in power over.
Oh play nice Donnie Don. Does this mean I can’t hang with you next Louis Riel Day?
Canada got its ass kicked in Afganistan lol

Ironic that one family out of thousands that have come to Canada did this horrible thing?
The autopsy on Khadaffi is for legal reasons(summary execution vs rule of law etc) as I understand it. I guess they don’t want to replace Khadaffi’s old hardline fuckery with new hardline fuckery. You know, have trials and junk, like we do in the west.
Whatevs.
not just one, unfortunately, but it’s not just one religion either wp http://www.vancouversun.com/life/Honour+ki…
Did we? I musta missed the part where Mullah Omar beheaded Harper on Parliament Hill and proclaimed the Islamic Caliphate of Qanata. Oh well, as long as they don’t mess with my beer and my baby backs – Allah Akhbar!
hahaha, we’re like the un, but more useful^^certainly more entertaining. let’s talk about something else http://tucsoncitizen.com/tucson-tails/2011…
DB, EVERYONE who ever invaded Afghanistan got its ass kicked, from Alexander the great to the mongols to the Brits, the Russians and now the Yanks-scuse me coalition forces. Those that don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
The Afghans are crazy sheepfuckers. Never gonna beat them in their own back yard.
Sad story PG. Glad the bastard got a hard sentence. Like that story from Ohio this week about the whack job who let his zoo animals loose then killed himself. Why the feck…?Grrrrroooooooooo.
As the late Jim Morrison sang “people are strange”
ohio has very loose laws, when it comes to exotic pets. sorry for linking so much stuff, but i’ve been following these stories for years
No apologies needed Painey. You’re our Ministry of Information on these matters.
Xeno, it is not only the sheep who wish they weren’t there. Young boys being forced to dress up as girls and (ahem) ‘dance’ for afghan men aren’t too happy about their situation either.
The Taliban banned bacha bazi when they were in power. Once the fake war started it the practice returned and by doing nothing about it the West endorses such actions.
Right so in about 10 years of fighting we lost 155 or so soldiers (not all due to combat or IEDs) many more casualties (also not all due to combat or IEDs) and you call that getting our asses whipped. Yuo don’t know much about warfare. That’s equivilent to a bloody nose. Now you want REAL military casualties, just look at WWI or WWII or even a better equivilent, Korea where in less than THREE YEARS we lost 516 with about doubled or more wounded.
The Taliban and Al-Queida don’t call us Red Dogs and will hardly engage us for nothing.
Still lost.
The job’s not finished and the lefties won’t allow the job to be finished. As usual too much political interference.
Not lost, premature ending.
Why can’t we use all that lovely napalm? Fricasse of Taliban scum anyone?
“Nothing funny about it Sodeypop. Neither is the persecution of blacks by Libyan rebels.”
I’m not going to believe pro-Gaddafi propaganda about eating dogs unless there’s evidence. I’ve heard lots of racist redneck fox news yankee devil bullshit about how Muslims are automatically part of Al Qaeda when they pick up a gun or grow a beard. Yes it’s horrible the way blacks are treated there. Also horrible that lots of blacks decided to be mercenaries and ruin the reputation of innocent blacks in Libya.
Libyan oil was being exported to Italy, France, etc. before the war. You didn’t have to take over Libya to have access to their oil. Simply give them money and they would give you oil. Sudan (mainly South Sudan which separated) and Syria do have oil.
And I hope the rebels send assassins to kill Gaddaffi’s wife, his daughter, and his surviving sons. Amnesty International can suck a dick.
It was lost. And not the lefties fault it was lost either.
This disgusting video is the alleged “raw dog meat” incident. These are Libyan mercenaries being forced to dog meat by the rebels according to those who posted it.
http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=288_1300897…
Most of the “rebels” are Al Qaeda ops anyway. MI5 tried killing Gadhafi long ago by hiring Al Qaeda fighters to do the job for them. This time the west got it done and now can steal Libya’s oil.
No, it was the Pakistani’s fault Donairious. The Taliban was formed in Pakistan and the country has harboured them ever since they were ousted from Afghanistan. Other than talking the fight across the Pakistani border, I don’t know how we could win it.
“Most of the “rebels” are Al Qaeda ops anyway.” And the earth is flat.
“These are Libyan mercenaries being forced to dog meat by the rebels according to those who posted it.”
The people who posted it are probably Serb/Russian/Libyan Gaddafi fanboys. Probably hazing in the Russian army. None of those people remind me of the rebels. I feel bad for the dog though. Dogs are better than most people.
LOL!
Best solution I’ve heard yet for Afghanistan came from a U.S. Army Captain in command of a mentoring team to a kandak of A.N.A. soldiers. Correctly judging most of the country’s problems as stemming from sexual repression, he proposed flooding the region with 50,000 muy caliente,young latinas. Watch as the “Brazilian wax” quickly replaces the burka. Then, when the healthy Afghan males have been sexually sated, bring in a “mentoring” team of 5,000 middle aged, shrill voiced Italian-American mothers who aren’t afraid to box a beardo’s ears if he steps out of line. In less then a generation you will have a happy, peaceful nation – or the Central-Asian equivalent of the Jersey Shore.
Ivan, methinks you’ve overdone the caffeine this morning – spectacular rant.
The pleasure was entirely mine, Baz. I’d love to claim credit but I’m just passing along what I’ve read – and I think the redoubtable Captain Tupper was only being semi-facetious:
http://www.amazon.com/Welcome-Afghanistan-…
“This man tormented, killed, tortured, starved a country almost to its death. He was a tyrant and he is dead. This is indeed a great day for all that is right about this world.”
How so? His death doesn’t close a door. Merely opens a niche.
fuck him, that’s not what this bitch is about
Now that Big Steve has his majority, and ours, we need to amend the conditions for qualifying to enter Canada. One condition should be, “do you promise to leave behind your 11th century nut job rules, quit mercy killing, enjoy a bacon butty now and then, shave daily (both men and women) and just generally lighten the fuck up.
Mmmmmmmmmmm. Bacon butty. Lllllaaaaarrrrrghhhhh.
Baz for P.M.!
“Dogs are better than most people.”
Yeah, that I have to agree with Sodey.
Thanks for the tips PG. My problem was that when I previewed the copied material in the “comment” it wouldn’t open. It only opens when you actually post I guess!

That and the Herald’s shitty new web page. It’s good if you want old news, shitty navigation and of course no comments section.
“and just generally lighten the fuck up.”
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Would be good if the government did that itself.
There is a comment section Bro Tim. It’s called “Feedback”, you can comment on the redesigned website!
I found that I could never comment on editorials on that site anyway. It was always “closed for comments” when I went to add my two cents.
trod, the Feedback is only to let them know what you think of the site, not to comment on stories. Hell, the comments were the best part.
You’re right, they did seem to close the comments very quickly sometimes.

My Dad noticed a lot of that in Egypt in 1965. The Egyptians and Palestinians that they dealt with would treat their sons like Pharoahs and their daughters like beasts of burden. He found a lot that was admirable about Egyptian society and even had a grudging admiration for Nasser’s domestic policy. There was a ferocious desire for education among the young men. They would work long arduous days and in the relative cool of the evening they’d be seen studying, cheap flimsy little texts. After the corruption and stagnation of King Farouk, Nasser’s Pan-Arabism had awakened a sense of pride and a desire for improvement.
what scares me is, deep down i know there are men and women, that think the accused are the victims
And not just victims. Heroes. Martyrs. Examples to be followed.
i’m glad we don’t have the death penalty, for those reasons
Head vs. Heart. My head opposes the death penalty. My heart says hang all three of them. My ulcer says “Can’t we all just get along” >; )
that’s a very dashing looking fellow ivan, one of your famille?
Nope >: (
Charles Andrew Mynarski, a Winnipeg boy from my Dad’s neighborhood. He was awarded the Victoria Cross, posthumously, in 1946.
well, it’s a nice tribute
Thanks Painey. >: )
i’m sorry i can’t let this go, freedom was all these women wanted http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/article…
Blatch writes some good insight on this case too, heartbreak-sis. What happened to the tragic victims leaves me without words because those that come to mind are either infused with great sadness or unfit to print.
when there is a verdict, i might post here. if people are interested, they can find the info themselves, they don’t need me. thank you to zedman for bringing it up
After a while it becomes difficult to want to comment. Angry words are so pitifully weak in the face of this crime. Inserting my ego into it by expressing outrage almost seems to trivialize it. Does anybody else feel torn like this?
..and Paingirl, please keep posting the links.
I’m certainly at a loss for words Ivan.. Shit is unimaginable.
I could live for a 1000 years and still not comprehend how a parent could do something so beyond the pale of human conduct.
And then there are those who oppose our troops (ok government) going into these places to do just that, protect those who are being abused and cannot protect themselves. We should be going from dictatorship to dictatorship where people are being killed and tortured by their own governments.
okay ivan but just for you http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/article…

this story was on the front page of the mop and pail, it’s also in the toronto star and national post. they will continue to cover this, so you’re on your own. i’m finished for now
Well, on the bright side, Gulnaz is being pardoned for adultery.
The fucked up, sick thing is, that is the bright side 🙁

the defense presents it’s case next week, but on the bright side juniour just caught a mouse
At first I thought you were referring to Shafia Jr. >; ) Lovin the Xmas Incarnation, Painey. Is that your hound lookin mortifed beyond belief?
the bear thinks it was a rat, based on the size of the pieces^^no, it’s not himself just a good facsimile
the trail resumes on jan 9th, the story was on cnn yesterday
I’m glad they’re taking a break. Mom was certain that the Old man was getting a cerebral aneurysm for Christmas. Instead, he’s getting a Phat’s Barber Shop “Guaranteed Piece Of Ass With Every Haircut” t-shirt from moi.
Hows your back this morning, Painey.
not too shabby commander, i just chaffeured my folks around. according to them i am the bestest driver in the family
Roger that! I rode with you once and made it back alive. Bought my last minute things this morning; the lamb limb is reclining in his marinade and I’m grooving on the snow. Finally feeling Christmassy. Got a lovely e-mail from Rosie this morning. She’s got a place to go for dead bird and all the trimmings. Sent some puppy pics. A-dorable wee beastie.

bomb scare at the courthouse today, prosecutor will finish her closing arguments this aft. then the judge gives his instructions to the jury, should be in their hands tomorrow
how comprehensively vile…
I hadn’t realized you were tracking this all so closely.
You’ve a dose of reporter blood in those veins.
cnn ran a piece from a ctv feed this morning. the star and post and mop have had good coverage, no use of electronic devices in court, so the updates are slow. the crown does not have to prove motive but unfortunately i think the jury may be hung because of reasonable doubt. thanks for posting the ob, zed
three counts of first degree murder
not surprisingly, no victim impact statements. the people who killed them, should be the one’s impacted
Thanks for the news flash, Painey, and thanks to you and the OB for bringing this case to my attention. I heard in their statements the Shafias still claimed to be not guilty. Well, they’ll have 25 years to reflect on that. I don’t think they’ll be very popular in prison…
it was the zedman who bitched, i found it difficult expressing myself…that’s why i just posted links
