• OVERLY-HARSH PUNISHEMNTS: Pussy Houston Officer Bucholz beats the shit out of 79-year-old lady for getting her license too slowly
  I have personally been charged with not having my registration while holding it in my hand with the officer looking at it, because I didn’t get it out fast enough. Had to make a trip to the courthouse to annul the charges.

   

  So it’s no surprise that other piggies can act like thugs when people don’t get their license out fast enough.

  This officer handcuffed a 79yo woman, kicked her to the ground, dragged her across gravel, kneed her in the chest, threw her in his police car. She was so injured she had to be carried to the police station, processed, then sent to the hospital to be treated for injuries to her hed, neck, chest, back, and arms.

  Can we say police state? Of course false charges of resisting arrest were given, and of course those charges were dropped.

• POLICE STATE: Cops go to wrong house, shoot dog, then claim in police report that dog’s owners praised their bravery.
  The [now dead] dog’s owners are vehemently denying that they praised the pig who shot their dog. Wrong address? Oops! We get to shoot your dog! My aren’t we brave??? Pigs.
  Let’s hope for a lawsuit.

• HARDWARE/MUSIC: DrumMachine – play your rock band drums on your computer using samples assigned to each pad
  If only my PC was in the same room as my PS2/Rock Band setup and my guitars. This could be quite fun. Drums through my stereo could actually keep up with the volume of my guitar amps.

• RELIGION: Christian faith-healer Joe Daugherty dies of cancer
  I’m sure this guy deserved a painful cancer death. Funny that he didn’t use faith healing for himself. Hypocrite!

   

  How many other people died because they put faith in his voodoo faith healing, rather than using this thing called SCIENCE that we use to treat our afflictions?

  If I was god, he would serve some time in hell. 30 days for every day of life he tricked someone into losing with his bullshit faith healing.

  “Where’s your God now?” Haha.

• TECHNOLOGY WAR: Now that Microsoft banned modded Xbox360s from XboxLive, hackers are now inspired to win once and for all.
  The next mod will be a firmware that passes Microsoft’s security check. In the arms race of people vs corporations, the people typically win. Prohibitions are hard to pull off, even with hardware.

   

  Pirates don’t have to stick discs in. Those who pay, do. Isn’t it lovely paying money to do more work to pay your games? Even if you don’t consider money, pirates almost always get a better deal than people who actually own stuff.
