Elmofongo: Fascinating but not as fascinating as that catholic priest that runs and casino and prostitutes I heard awhile back.

Can anybody post me that link about that Catholic Priest I am talking about?

Foxhack: This?

Yes that :D

Thanks for posting that.

Where did you see that Sheen is offering money?

Saying "Let's figure out together how to end this thing" doesn't give me that impression.

FraterPerdurabo: Are you serious?
He's not coming in alive, I'd bet. Firing on vehicles that 'might' contain a suspect is pretty much an indicator.

If wrong, it will be deemed to have more pr value by taking him in, than just eliminating him. Opinion, of course.

Whoa, whoa. Hold your horses here. It's quite obvious that the police have personal beef with this copkiller, but the first and foremost duty of a cop is to protect the society at large. Firing upon random cars because they MIGHT contain the suspect is a gross violation of this duty. I cannot express enough how appalled I am by this conduct.

Precisely, and they need to be held accountable.

I have seen a marked deterioration of police conduct over time, and this is an escalation imo.

No need to preach to the choir that is already singing.

I'm sorry for the tone - I misunderstood what you said.

Np, the injustice and unprofessionalism of the officers involved can have that effect.

Edit: Not sure that "unprofessionalism" is a word, please replace the "un" with "lack of!"

deathknight1728: News is really reached the point where its almost too crazy for its own good. We got a murderer killing cops in California and Charlie Sheen (yeah I know right) is going to broker a deal of money to this asshole. Since when does celebrity status start such craziness. The part where I look at this positively is ok Sheen is trying to be nice because the bad guy mentioned him. Thats nice but what difference does money make when he wont be able to spend it in jail.

This is one of the only things that again will only happen in America. Celebrities brokering deals with mass murderers, rofl. Its a good thing I have a great sense of humor. Otherwise, I'd end up crazy like all these other people.
You're assuming Sheen isn't trying to help the police and using the perpetrator's obvious sympathy for him to ensnare him.

Of course, the LAPD is one of the most corrupt police forces in the nation and has been for at least 90 years. What amazes me is that no one else with a ruined life has snapped and started hunting bankers, cops, lawyers, or whoever they hate. You'd think with all out nutjobs and murderers this kind of situation with Dorner would have happened more often.

Agreed.

I'm having a difficult time differentiating this shooting from the Zimmerman shooting.

Shouldn't these loose vigilantes be held accountable to the same extent as Mr. Zimmerman??

I would say you are right and I am surprised this hasnt happened to a lawyer yet. The lawyers in this country are monstrosities. They represent and backup mass murderers and child killers and it is despicable.

In my opinion, you shouldnt be granted a trial for crimes that go such a horrific way. As I used to say in Geneforge-"Rogues have one purpose, they must be destroyed!"

I'm surprised that you have such a negative view of the legal profession. We see it from a slightly different perspective.

You gotta understand from my pov. My dad and mother had a divorce and met in court. The lawyer on my mother side had them make up false stuff just to make my dad look horrible and vice versa. There can be good lawyers, but I think that a lot of them are very based on making things up and making everything worse.

A lot of them can be ambulance chasers but some are alright. I dont know, I have a somewhat bias opinion and I find that the justice system in America is broken.

Ah, yeah in the UK (or at least E&W) that would constitute a gross breach of the SRA Code of Ethics. I think that it goes both ways really, i.e. the legal system is a reflection of the society and vice versa. Ambulance chasers are a very American thing, as is compensation culture with your triple damages and punitive damages. Maybe they wouldn't be there if you guys didn't have your foot-stomping I-want-my-rights culture.

Thats the thing I would like to fix one day-my location. I like America, but dont get me wrong, its got many problems right now and in some cases I'd be better off meeting a nice french woman in france, learning the language and settling down there :)
