The people are starting to fight back against the Jihadi’s

The man sacrificed himself to save numerous people by intercepting a suicide bomber in the middle of trying to pull off an attack. How many did he save?

An Iraqi man saved the lives of four U.S. Soldiers and eight civilians when he intercepted a suicide bomber during a Concerned Citizens meeting in the town of al-Arafia Aug. 18.

The incident occurred while Soldiers from 3rd Squadron, 1st Cavalry Regiment, were talking with members of the al-Arafia Concerned Citizens, a volunteer community group, at a member’s house.

The man is a Hero and people are recognizing him as such. Many of the American soldiers commented on the mans actions and said that when the bomber ran towards the soldiers meeting this Iraqi ran out in front of them and grab the bomber and tossed him to the ground as the bomb went off.

“He was high-spirited and really believed what the group (Concerned Citizens) was doing,” Kane said. “I have no doubt the bomber was trying to kill American Soldiers. It was very calculated the way the bomber tried to do it. If he hadn’t intercepted him, there is no telling how bad it could have been.”

Kane believes the citizen is a hero.

“He could have run behind us or away from us, but he made the decision to sacrifice himself to protect everyone. Having talked with his father, I was told that even if he would have known the outcome before hand, he wouldn’t have acted differently.”

Tragic, but it shows that the people are finally getting tired of these terrorists blowing up everyone and everything in their communities. The mans a Hero and his memory should live on forever.

News – The NAACP doesn’t like truth mixed with comedy.

August 24, 2007 Aurvant 1 comment

Especially when the truth lies in a spoof about the “gangsta” mentality that plagues most of the black population.

Here’s the comic that started the NAACP outrage:

The comic was made to portray the current mindset amongst the gangsta crowd that favors popular credibility above the actual rule of law. There were plenty of stories a while back where numerous people where asked about how snitching was perceived within the street crowd. Turns out that most people who buy in to this type of lawless lifestyle will protect their friends/family from law enforcement instead of doing the right thing and turn them in.

Each racial ethnic group has examples of this. However, it is most prevalent in the Hip/hop, Gangsta rap, Black youth communities. So, what does the NAACP think about the comic?

The president of the local chapter of the NAACP said he found both the picture and the words offensive.

“I was stunned about it,” said Isaiah Rumlin, president of the local NAACP chapter. “I was outraged.”Rumlin said he took calls from at least 20 angry people who also found this cartoon offensive. He said he called the newspaper and expressed his concern to publisher Carl Cannon.”We’re going to see how we can work together and alleviate this type of language in the paper,” Rumlin told Channel 4.

Of course. We’re going to “alleviate” this type of language from the paper he says. That actually translates to “If you print anything like this again then theres going to be a rally or a vigil somewhere. So, how about you clamp off your first amendment rights so you dont offend someone.”

Because heaven forbid somebody gets offended. So, how did the paper react?

Using the word ‘ho’ was bad judgment, and I regret that I did not edit it out,” Clark told the newspapers reader advocate. “The object of the cartoon was to comment on the rise of a no-snitching culture, something that is widely in the news today. There was certainly no intent to offend the many law-abiding Jacksonville citizens.”

Gamble told the reader advocate that the term “ho” is demeaning to women, but said, “I was making a point that rappers are demeaning to women.” In the background of the cartoon is a billboard displaying: “Rap your life away.”

Well, at least he didn’t back down completely and he explained why he approved the cartoon. I’m sure the NAACP won’t stop bugging these guys until they print some front page article that apologizes to everyone for the last century of whatever, and it’s sad that a group of people think that they have the authority to clamp down on someones right to express an opinion.

Guess the truth hurts maybe?

News – State having to pay $350,000 to family of drunk woman?

That’s whats going to happen.

Turns out the lady was completely and utterly hammered and got in trouble with the law by driving erratically. After a alcohol test it turns out she was at .23 percent and that is three times the state limit. In other words “This chick was druuuuuunnnnnk“.

Well, she got pulled over by the police and was arrested. She got handcuffed and put in the back of the police car but the police officer forgot to engage the safety lock. So, what happened after that?

Turner lost sight of Pugh for up to 10 minutes while he searched her car and talked with a tow truck operator. She escaped and was hit by several cars not far from where she was stopped for erratic driving. Her body was severed and her skull crushed.

By the time he realized his prisoner was gone, Turner was at his patrol post in Hiram. He drove right by her walking along the turnpike but believed she was secured in the back.

Pugh’s family sued and the case had been set for trial Tuesday in the Ohio Court of Claims when the state settled and acknowledged that the trooper violated several policies, said the family’s attorney, Thomas Robenalt.

Now, to be able to drive all the way back to the station without realizing that your drunken arrestee was NOT in the back of your car just shows that your not paying attention to whats going on. However! regardless of this rather large brain fart on the part of the officer it should, by no means, hold him or the state responsible for a drunk woman wandering out in front of traffic. I can’t believe that the taxpayers (because you pay for the law enforcement) are being held responsible for this.

Unbelievable.
