 <title>Re: Senator Ted Stevens: Victim of His Own System?</title>
 <link>http://abesturn.com/2008/11/12/senator-ted-stevens-victim-his-own-system#comment-6015</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;According to Bill Bailey (who says he is parroting his own criminal lawyer and reflecting his own experience), &amp;#8220;He was convicted by a jury but the conviction is not final until all appeals have been exhausted and the judge sentences the defendant. It is the issuance of the Judgment and Commitment after sentencing that establishes the conviction.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That&amp;#8217;s why he was allowed to vote. See here: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.slate.com/id/2203348/&quot; title=&quot;http://www.slate.com/id/2203348/&quot;&gt;http://www.slate.com/id/2203348/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;p&gt;Wrong he was convicted.  His case has not reached final judgment yet.  A legal description of final judgment can be read on the briefs posted at my blog.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Re: If Power Corrupts, Can the Right Man Ever Save the Country?</title>
 <link>http://abesturn.com/2008/11/05/if-power-corrupts-can-right-man-ever-save-country#comment-5918</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;I am so glad to hear someone address this. I&amp;#8217;ve seem so much especially right around the election that showed how much some of the American people are putting Obama in a Saviour-like context. It was disturbing that with the right circumstances that Obama seemed ripe for the picking simply because of his skin color and his slogan of change.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Great site!&lt;br /&gt;

 <description>&lt;p&gt;Look I&amp;#8217;m 48 and law enforcement subhumans have fucked with me all my life, and I don&amp;#8217;t have a record I try to live a lawful life as best I can.&lt;br /&gt;
I call them subhumans because to be a law enforcer you had to have been a bully as a child, why they know better to fuck with people that will harm them.&lt;br /&gt;
When a law enforcer approaches you in there corrupt minds you are guilty of something, so even if your dead right and know it, you have to prove yourself innocent.&lt;br /&gt;
So to save yourself money and time, just play along with yes em officer I be going home right now and will do what you say, then when they turn there back just say fuck em.&lt;br /&gt;
Look try to do the right things stay away from them but never be scared of them, just learn when to say your mind and when it would be better to shut the fuck up.&lt;br /&gt;
You may not wen the battle, but stay alive to fight another day, that should be your adopted motto.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Have fun and don&amp;#8217;t worry if a new Hitler comes to town, because you&amp;#8217;ll either join or sent to a camp of no return. The law is on there side all of the time and on your side sometimes, remember you are guilty in the eyes of the law until you prove yourself innocent  Not innocent till proven guilty as it is written.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Re: Is It Really a &quot;Police State&quot;?</title>
 <link>http://abesturn.com/2008/08/25/it-really-police-state#comment-5141</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Various states and cities take turns beating down their citizens.  Some may be mere PR blunders, but others seem like something more sinister.  One recent one I was amazed to hear about was the permaculture bus seizure (aka PermiBus) in Michigan.  &lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;p&gt;You said mindless masses twice. Plus, If you were confined to your home illegally you may be a bit paranoid as well.&lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;p&gt;To those saying that this is just fear mongering or that the people voted so it&amp;#8217;s okay to violate their constitutional rights, or that you wish they would do this in your neighborhood:&lt;br /&gt;
1) On waiving our constitutional rights, Ben Franklin said it best, &amp;#8220;They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.&amp;#8221;&lt;br /&gt;
2) Being that it is ILLEGAL to enforce a curfew except in time of war (on HOME soil) or a Natural Disaster/Emergency (i.e. Katrina), the mayor and police should have SUGGESTED that innocent civilians stay in their homes past a certain time in the interest of personal safety, without forcing them into an unconstitutional curfew.&lt;br /&gt;
3) I live in New Orleans, I don&amp;#8217;t care how dangerous or crime ridden your city is, New Orleans has almost certainly got you beat. If you&amp;#8217;re smart, you know there are places you DO NOT GO when the sun goes down. If you&amp;#8217;re so damn scared of where you are, move; or choose to give yourself a curfew.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;ll actually be moving to Memphis soon due to a new job. If I ever live in a city where a curfew is enforced, I will break curfew and sue the city for violating the U.S. Constitution. We seem to forget that the constitution doesn&amp;#8217;t necessarily tell US what we CAN do; it tells the government what it CAN&amp;#8217;T do.&lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;p&gt;It is unfortunate that unparented, unsupervised youth has gotten so out of control that the police (who are trying to PROTECT) must enforce this. Good on the mayor. I wish they would do this in my neighborhood. Damned thugs and wild children run the streets all hours of the night. When the majority behaves as wild animals it becomes necessary to treat them as wild animals.&lt;br /&gt;
You want the curfew lifted? Get the animals under control. Force them out of your neighborhood. Turn them into the police. Seriously. But stop your pussified whining about your right to come and go as you please. What about the rights of people to live free of criminal behavior in their neighborhoods? Something has to be done. This sounds like a good option if it is working. Instead of whining&amp;#8230;.help. Now, there&amp;#8217;s a novel idea, right?&lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;p&gt;The *town council* voted on it, but even if the whole town by referendum voted in favor of the &amp;#8220;curfew&amp;#8221;, it would still be blatantly unconstitutional.  The &amp;#8220;Supreme Law of the Land&amp;#8221; is widely ignored by legistative bodies everywhere.&lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;p&gt;they gotta go inside at a certain time or is it 24 hour lock-down? if i lived there i&amp;#8217;d have a huge BBQ in my yard, not in the house, and i&amp;#8217;d invite the whole &amp;#8217;hood over. i&amp;#8217;d harass the cops to go get my food for me, &amp;#8220;serve and protect&amp;#8221; right? SERVE beatings to citizens and PROTECT the elite. &amp;#8220;harass &amp;amp; inspect&amp;#8221; without prejudice, beatings served with severe prejudices. we should citizens arrest the police for obstruction of true justice.&lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;p&gt;Jesus, above poster, what are you on about?  Majority?  Hahaha, when did you ever conduct a poll of crime statistics? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Either way, gang mentality isn&amp;#8216;t a &amp;#8216;black&amp;#8216; thing, just come over to Glasgow, Scotland any day of the week, you&amp;#8216;ll see a gang problem as bad as anywhere, and (almost) all of them are caucasian.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Look at thre root cause of gang culture, it will always come back to the same thing, parenting.    Every time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Just my 0.01 GBP.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cheers.&lt;/p&gt;
