Laptop stolen on Air Canada flight
I see that I am not the only one who’s laptop was stolen. A friend was bringing my laptop back from Mexico, and it was stolen out of his checked in luggage. It was an older laptop (4 years is ancient), and it was missing the battery, but it still sucks.
For those who don’t know, Casey’s laptop, a $3300 Macbook Pro, was stolen out of her luggage after our return from Las Vegas this weekend.
Clearly the moral is never leave anything of value in checked luggage.

Meet the devil
More info on one of the most sadistic pieces of trash the modern world has ever known.
Elisabeth Fritzl was forced to help build the dungeon where she was kept by her sadistic father Josef, it emerged yesterday.

Tasermania
Put me in the camp that says there should be a moratorium on taser use. Here’s an article that will make you think twice.
The latest taser incident to be captured on film again highlights how fast our society is sleepwalking into a brutal police state

War on Drugs Raging
Wow, I’m all for stiff sentences, but here’s a wake up call for anyone carrying more than an aspirin into the US.
The minimum sentence for that quantity of drugs in Illinois is 30 years. The maximum is 120 years.
I don’t think anyone in a Canadian jail has served a sentence like that in 100 years.

Lawlessness prevails
Once again, Ontarians and their police force bend over for the Indians. The following quote is particularly laughable: the Indians are doing us all a favor by not closing the 401 all day, and only for a few hours. Isn’t this like a mugger saying he’s only going to take $40 of your $50, as a gesture of goodwill? Ridiculous.
Brant said he did not want to aggravate travellers more than necessary and that he hoped his gesture of goodwill would be reciprocated by Canadians in their attitude toward natives.

‘I am a lonely soul’
I’d never heard of using charcoal grills for suicide before my brother in law’s death, and now we have a famous singer using the method.
The note was paper-clipped to the neck of Delp’s shirt when police found his body at his Atkinson home, on the bathroom floor, his head on a pillow. He had sealed himself inside with two charcoal grills; toxicology tests showed he had committed suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning.

Abducted by father
It’s always amazing to me that a father, whose biggest risk to his child appears to be depression - can be the subject of an amber alert.
A 3-year-old girl who was apparently abducted by her father last night has been located by Toronto police in the Brampton area.
Gotta wonder what the mother said to the cops about him.
It’s no wonder he’s depressed. He probably doesn’t get access to his kid.

Fight back
This guy in Halton region fought back, and may be charged.
“I got him on the ground,” the Burlington man recounted yesterday. “We stopped fighting for a second and I was standing overtop of him and I said: ‘Don’t move. The police are on their way. I’ve got two kids in the house. If you move, I’ll kill you.’ ”
This guy didn’t.
An elderly Oakville man who discovered two thieves inside his home was tied up and beaten by the suspects before they fled.
Let’s hope he didn’t hear about his neighbor and chose not to fight back.

Shoot to kill
It’s unclear whether the cops killed the gunman, but even if they didn’t, their policy not to wait around until everyone is dead is a good one.
“Before, our technique was to establish a perimeter around the place and wait for the SWAT team,” he said. “Now the first police officers go right inside. The way they acted saved lives.”

On Sheep, Wolves, and Sheepdogs
One Vietnam veteran, an old retired colonel, once said this to me:
“Most of the people in our society are sheep.
...that has certain relevance in light of this shooting.
At least four people were reported dead following a shooting spree Wednesday afternoon at a Montreal college.

Killing his son ‘an act of love’
This is one story I don’t understand at all.
A Toronto man who killed his son in a London hotel room has broken a two-year silence in the hope he can help families afflicted by mental illness to avoid similar tragedies.
Mental illness is either a great cover or a never-to-be-understood sickness. How can anyone get inside a brain and prove otherwise?

How can this happen?
As long as there are trusting and (stupid) parents out there, I suppose children will always be at risk.
Police in Western Canada are frantically searching Monday for two missing boys and for a 35-year-old B.C. man who had become notorious in Ontario for abducting and molesting children.
I can only imagine what the parents are going through.

Above the law
More evidence that there are two tiers of laws in Ontario: none for Indians, all for the rest of us.
Two news cameramen were assaulted by protesters today, prompting Premier Dalton McGuinty to condemn the latest violence at the site of an aboriginal occupation in Caledonia, Ont.

Size does matter
There is a reason why we used to discriminate against small and light cops, and here it is.

Price of life
In the ongoing declining auction of a life in Canada, we find the new price is 15 years.
If there were any justice for Cecilia Zhang, her murderer would never see daylight again.

Dogs before people
Amazing how some idiots put their pets before their children.
A married couple who got a dog sitter for their puppies but left the man’s young children home alone while they vacationed in Las Vegas were arrested Wednesday, police said.
The kid seems pretty smart, though.

A moon is a moon
JWalk has an amusing entry.
Good new for Marylanders: Mooning deemed ‘disgusting’ but legal in Maryland.
Acquitting a Germantown man who exposed his buttocks during an argument with a neighbor, a Montgomery County Circuit Court judge ruled yesterday that mooning, while distasteful, is not illegal in Maryland.

Tell it like it is
Wente explains that the PC white elite don’t want to call a spade a spade: the gun crime problem is a black, Jamaican problem. Just talk to any Jamaican in Toronto.
The violent culture of Jamaica sheds far more light on Toronto’s gun-and-gang problem than Mr. Harris’s cruel decision to shut down the Anti-Racism Secretariat.
One day I’ll post some of the info a Jamaican told me about how things work in Kingston, Jamaica.
Perhaps our whiny elite in charge of crime should check that out before begging for more money.
BTW: when does that statue of limitations run out on blaming Harris?
Here is Hebert’s column.
The enthusiastic turnout at Tookie Williams’s funeral tells you much of what you need to know about the current state of black leadership in the U.S.

Not that bad yet
Things may be getting worse here in hogtown,
Less than 24 hours earlier, the stretch of Yonge between Gould and Gerrard Sts. was a scene of chaos as a
shootout claimed the life of a 15-year-old girl and left six other people wounded.
but at least they’re not as bad as in Milwaukee.
A motorist who was kicked, punched and left alone in the street after honking at a group of people suffered severe head trauma and may not survive, police said.

Oh ya, they’re ashamed
The most idiotic part of this story is the fact that the author seems to put more import on the fact tbat the shooting was done near a daycare center than the fact that someone had his head blown off.
“If they were targeting Mr. Skinner specifically, that’s awful enough. But to do it in such a populated area with children all over the place, they have to be ashamed of themselves.”
Sadly, I was making a delivery to a store right across the street, not 20 minutes after the murder .

Pond scum
The death penalty would be too good for the “parents” of poor little Jeffrey Baldwin. Blatchford, brilliant as always, explains:
By the numbers, he was not-quite six years old; he weighed 21 pounds; he was 37 inches tall. He was starved, he was covered in his own feces, he had pneumonia in his lungs, and he was in the throes, or soon to be in the throes, of the septic shock that would kill him.

Got away with it?
Robert Latimer must be wondering what he did differently to get a jail sentence, when Carmichael seemingly got off.
A Toronto father who admitted to drugging and suffocating his epileptic 11-year-old son has been found not criminally responsible on account of a mental disorder.

The hits keep coming
So much for the latest crackdown. Now there’s three more in the (body) bag.
The rash of shootings came just a day after Toronto police conducted a massive crackdown on a Rexdale street gang.
Perhaps we need to import the Jamaican police to take care of the Jamaican problem. Ask any Jamaican about how they take care of the gun toters.

Almost in her pants
The latest Homolka liason was the first in a long line of sick guys who
can’t wait to get into the killer’s pants. What an allure the black widow holds.

Goodbye, lamp post
Any newcomer from Jamaica hoping to get away from daylight, senseless, and brazen daily gun violence will be sad to see that there’s no escaping it in Toronto. Why come here when at least the weather’s warm down there all year round?
A well-known community figure approached by a group of four or five youths was shot to death in the courtyard of a Scarborough apartment complex last night, in an incident witnessed by as many as 20 adults and children.
The group-huggers would do well by going down to Kingston, like former chief Fantino, and getting some tips on how they keep the lid on their 5-a-day murders.
