Taser International challenges Braidwood findings

Article



The manufacturer of Taser stun guns has launched a legal challenge to quash the recent recommendations of the Braidwood Inquiry to restrict police use of the conducted-energy weapons.


The police inquirey decides to restrict use of the Taser. And Taser Corperation is now going to sue them. They're now suing their customers.

This is how business is done in america.


Following the release of Braidwood's first report, the company said the inquiry based its recommendations largely on speculation and that they do not meet the realities of modern day law enforcement.


"realities of modern day law enforcment" ...and what has this got to do with the fact that your weapons are killing people ? Is one of the realities that it's ok to kill one person in a thousand with your product ? Is that a reality ?


Liberal MP Ujal Dosanjh, the party's former public safety critic who has been outspoken on the use of stun guns, said Taser's challenge is a tactic aimed to intimidate.

"I think it's a very flagrant attempt on its part to intimidate the critics of Taser and to discredit the inquiry report of a distinguished jurist," Dosanjh said from B.C.

"They are solely motivated by profit. Public safety can't be their priority," he said, adding the company has a battery of lawyers to "vigorously pursue" any critics.


Don't normally cotton to liberals , but this guy seems to have it right here. You can't sue your customers into buying your product. You cant sue me if I decide I don't want your cell phone. You can't sue me if I decide your car is a piece of junk saftey hazard ! Who the heck started this mess ?

Under Pressure on Health Care, White House Fights Back

Article



WASHINGTON — The White House on Monday started a new Web site to fight questionable but potentially damaging charges that President Obama’s proposed overhaul of the nation’s health care system would inevitably lead to “socialized medicine,” “rationed care” and even forced euthanasia for the elderly.


Only in america could you face the charge of murder (forced euthanasia) because you decided to give some stuff away for free. (Health Care). Really, it's pretty obvious who works for the people and who's just trying to reserve a peice of the pie for themselves.


“I think the combination of spending a trillion dollars that we don’t have and another rushed process really triggered this,” said Matt Kibbe, the president of the conservative group FreedomWorks. “People started paying attention.”


Yeah , well while you're shouting exagerated figures about how much it will cost 20% of the population is noticing they have the big butt kiss for health care.

Stay the course Obama. Congress will hate you but the people will love you.

An Argument for Gun Control

Was anyone wondering why I think the gun nuts in the states , the ones that protest against any control at all on guns, why I think they're crazy ?

could it be advertisments like this ?




It suggests an age range of 7 - 17

Wasn't there some kind of gun nut down in the states that responsibly taught his eight year old how to use a rifle ? And then the eight year old got made because daddy made him clean his room or do his homework or something so he got his gun and went and killed daddy with it ?

Very responsible. *snicker snicker*

Microsoft Psychic Scarring

Personal Experiance

So I'm sitting at my Linux computer working on my novel , and my thoughts wander in the direction of me getting a new computer. I've already ordered it and it's due in two weeks, and this all is possible because my wife gave me the money to pay out the year or so left on my old computer (for which she gets the old computer).

And am I gonna work on my novel on the new computer ?

Not a chance. New computer is windows. Windows just bit me and put me into a weeks long nightmare because that stupid windows defender thats supposed to scan for viruses actually let a virus in that trashed everything. And Dell didn't give me a back up disk.

I'm gonna work on the novel on the Linux machine, I"m just gonna move it to my room that's all. I don't trust the Windows machine to be in any way stable anymore. Not after burning my fingers like that. And not after learning the infamous and unsupported windows Defender is actually built right into Vista (my sister has a copy) .

Is it psychic scarring that i suddenly don't trust microsoft with anything important ? Anything I want to keep. Is "once burned twice shy" a form of damage ?

Or is it just good sense ?

Schreiber loses last-ditch fight against extradition

Article



German-Canadian businessman Karlheinz Schreiber was being flown to Germany on Sunday evening after losing a last-ditch battle to avoid extradition earlier in the day.

Schreiber's lawyer, Eddie Greenspan, was granted permission for a special weekend court appearance to seek an injunction against the federal government's extradition order. He argued that his client should be allowed to stay in his adopted country — where he has been a citizen since 1982 — until at least Tuesday morning so he can file an appeal challenging Canada's extradition treaty with Germany.

But the lawyer for the government told the Ontario Court of Appeal that this was a frivolous challenge because the treaty was ratified 30 years ago.


And good riddence. It took them ten years to get rid of you ?


In the letter, addressed to Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Schreiber said he was concerned the visit was timed in a way to preempt any legal moves on his part duringt the holiday weekend.


You wrote a letter begging the prime minister not to give you the boot after you spent a freaking year slinging mud at him and trying to get him in as much trouble as you possibly could ? Even to the point of telling out right lies ?

You're an idiot.

And you're gone.


Extradition politically motivated: Schreiber

He also alleged in the letter that Germany's centre-left Social Democrats are using his case as an election issue in a bid to defeat their conservative opponents in next month's election


You spent a year slinging mud at the prime minister. No kidding it's politically motivated. You need to be more careful who you sling mud at.


"Now we have the election coming up in Germany in September, and the Social Democrats won three elections with my case in the past," Schreiber told reporters Sunday just before entering the detention centre. "If I would [return] now that would be the greatest thing. They would start another huge circus and huge investigation...


Lets not forget the part where you are GUILTY AS CHARGED OF ALL CRIMES , shall we ? No ones fabricating evidence and you've actually given up making such accusations.

Your a crook . You've beaten the system for ten long years, you have nothing new to say in your defence, and your only real argument is that you didn't mean for your words to be taken as a confession when you were slinging mud at the prime minister and admitting to all those crimes , you just wanted to dirty him up some , not get yourself in hot water.

Good bye.

Oh , and when I say he's slinging mud at the prime minister I mean this is a Liberal Political exercise, this guy is happy to tell any lie and cannot be used as a witness against Mulroony in court (former prime minister) due to all the crimes he's guilty of , but eh is good for manufacturing a nice long make believe scam against the conservatives and our current prime minister. Thus yes, technically he's throwing mud at Mulroony , but really , they're throwing mud at Harper.
