hehe

Found this link sort of interesting. Won't matter to many of you.. but I found it quite the interesting read. Odd that Stuart and I were just talking about this last night. Shame Stuart doesn't read this blog. Bastard.

Also, I realy enjoy in the document that the individual's home address is used. Considering Blizzard has over 7 million active subscribers, I'm wondering how long it'll take for this guy to start getting craploads of hate-mail, etc.

Joey, since he lives in Phoenix.. could you just drive on over there and kick his ass for me. Thanks.

Supreme Court

I know I've been posting a lot of links lately, and today will be no different. Yesterday, it was argued in front of the Supreme Court if a ramming of a speeding individual by a police officer was considered unconstitutional.

Basically a 19 year old was speed, refused to pull over, struck a police vehicle in a parking lot, then sped away at 90 mph. The officer which was struck then proceeded to ram the rear of the fleeing vehicle casuing the kid to lose control of his car and crash into an embankment. The kid was paralyzed in the accident.

Of course the now crippled guy is suing saying that the police used excessive force to capture him. What the hell? I think if a person is driving recklessly at 90mph I'd want the police to stop his ass no matter what. Added to the fact that he already demonstrated his willingness to endager lives by striking the police vehicle I'd say that the officer had ever right to take whatever steps were necessary to stop the kid from potentially hurting someone else. Should a cop just let a person go and arrest them later? This sort of question is a tough one to answer. What if there was hostage in the car, the speeding vehicle was fleeing the scene of another crime, it was a terrorist planning on destroying the world? Of course some of those are stupid ideas but never-the-less they are possible. How would the public react if an officer was told not to persue a speeding individual and it was later found out that this person had killed/raped/whatever some innocent bystander? Not very well I'd imagine.

Anyways, just some food for thought I suppose. I doubt the Supreme Court will deem the officer's actions uncoinstitutional in light of the evidence against the fleeing suspect. It would be different if such force was used on a unarmed individual, but I think a car is considered a weapon in some cases (I believe striking an officer's vehicle with your own car while fleeing is considered assault with a deadly weapon.. not sure though). A guy running on foot is slightly less dangerous than a car going 90. Well.. perhaps if the man was really big and running through a room full of babies, and the man would have to be wearing golf shoes.


Ok, that is all I got. I'm curious to hear from the legal individuals who read this blog.

Edit: Transcripts of the oral arguments. I found them interesting.

Bunny is back

Basically the title says it all. It was on a short break due to the author being swamped at school.. but I'm excited. Needed my daily dose of bunny-goodness.

Change

Life is full of change, my blog reflects my life, albeit poorly.. therefore the blog had to change.

Also, I was bored at work.

Much more the second reason than the first. I just wanted to sound deep.

Accordion Madness

Usually I'd probably overlook something like this. Never having really been a big fan of accordion music I'm really glad I clicked the link. I was sceptical at first since I thought that he wasn't really playing, but the more I listened, and watched his other videos I became both more amazed, and convinced that it isn't fake. But that is just me.

Seriously, check out the videos... even if you don't like classical music.

Look at all the posts.

I know that lately I've just been posting links to stupid little things.. I don't care. I'm posting mainly just to keep Niki off my back. And since nothing really exciting is happening in my life, everyone will just have to suffer through the links I post.

The latest is the following. My favorites are #17 (no one would carry this while riding), #34 (since I always wish I had one with me..), #84/85 (when one just isnt' enough.) Seriously, who the heck is going to drop $1300 on one of these things? No one wants to care a 47 ounce monster like this in their daily lives. But then I just imagine how badass MacGyver would have been had he had all these tools. Sure, he was badass with a normal one... but just think what it could have done with 85 different tools.

Interesting

Joey may get the most out of this movie. But I think everyone will get a kick out of it none the less.

Anna Nicole Smith

She died.. not really that big of a deal. The part that amuses me the most is how fast information gets desseminated through the internet. Of course, you can't always trust it. As reference, here is what wikipedia had to say shortly after she died.






And I'm sure this isn't the only post like this on wikipedia.

Snickers

Anyone else find all the uproar about the Snickers commercial absolutely over the top? It is a freaking commercial.. find something else to complain about.
