Labels: tasers n' shit

this story is real.

from the oakland tribune:

OAKLAND — As his wife lay dying from the stab wounds he inflicted on her moments before, Jesus Jihad stood over her body and laughed, several witnesses testified in court Tuesday.

"She was lying down on the ground and he stood over her like he was saying, 'Die, I don't care,'" said Wilyana Jenkins, 15, a neighbor of the couple. "He was just standing there laughing like it was a joke or something."

Jihad, a convicted murderer and rapist, is accused of killing his wife, Aisha Hendricks, 35, of Oakland, by stabbing her 11 times with multiple kitchen knives during an argument last year.

i am terrified.

remember this september 11th the way it really was

sad, of course. but terrifying not because we were in imminent danger from alien muslims, but because everyone around us went batshit crazy. they lost their fucking minds. and we watched the sanity spiral out of an entire nation like filthy bathwater from an overfilled washbasin.

never forget.

sarge stuff

some of you have probably also been getting texts from sarge these past few days detailing the destruction going on in baton rouge. for those of you who haven't, he has mentioned such things as "boarding up his windows", "the siding of my house being ripped off", "being without power for the next 3-4 weeks", "the ceiling in my office collapsed", and "this place looking like a war zone".

sounds like things are a mess, and he urged me to tell everyone i know to make a donation to red cross.

"Prime Minister Vladimir Putin was feted by Russian media on Sunday for saving a television crew from an attack by a Siberian tiger in the wilds of the Far East."

Only in Bush's most fantastic wet dreams could he do something like that...if it is actaully true. And just last week I was thinking.....where have all the Rambo-esque leaders gone?
