This is good news and doesn’t come soon enough. The sooner all these shmucks are sent back, the better.

They knew what they were getting in for when they volunteered. To run away when the going gets tough is just disingenuous on their part.

And this is story is not even from the usual suspects(ie Florida or Texas!). It’s from Portugal where a man was sentenced to prison for shooting someone who he thought had sodomized his pussy and turned it gay!

You simply can’t make this stuf up!

A man has been jailed for five and a half years after shooting one of his neighbours, a homosexual, who he claims committed an act of sodomy with his cat and made the animal homosexual too.

Fifty-three year old José Maria Correia, a waiter for 32 years, was sentenced by the São João Novo courts, Oporto, for the crimes of attempted murder and owning an illegal weapon. The incident took place on October 27th last year.

A second neighbour was also injured in the shooting, which took place after the man asked for help in catching his pet.

He asked neighbour Anabela Silva Cruz to help catch the animal which had escaped on to an adjacent piece of land. A second neighbour, homosexual José Pedro Macedo, who was at his window, saw they were having trouble in their attempts and offered his help too.

As he tried to join in the mission, José Correia yelled insults at his neighbour concerning his sexual orientation.

After catching his pet, José Correia went to his neighbour’s house with a 6.35 calibre Browning pistol.

Anabela Cruz remained on the property’s patio and was injured when the Browning was fired.

Courts proved that it was a case of mistaken identity, that José Correia believed it was his other neighbour on the patio, and was convinced José Pedro “was a homosexual and that there had been contact of a sexual nature between the neighbour and his cat.”

Anabela Cruz, a secondary school teacher, was rushed to the São João hospital and had a surgical procedure which resulted in a 23-centimetre scar.

The Court further proved José Correia acted in a deliberate and conscious manner with the intent of killing José Pedro, considering his posture during the trial as “deeply concerning” and with “homophobic attitudes.”

Police searches resulted in the seizure of more ammunition from the man’s home, who was known locally as ‘Zé Pistoleiro’.

“Shooting someone for being a homosexual and for supposedly having sexual intercourse with a cat he helped rescue and for making the animal homosexual too is possibly one of the silliest motives I have ever heard in my life”, said the magistrate.

So I see that some of the inbred publicity whores from Fred Phelps’ Westboro Baptist Church are in Canada for a round of protests…. including protesting at Tim McLean Jr.’s funeral.

There’s the usual song and dance from the usual suspects about banning them from Canada, censoring them, etc. This is absolutely the wrong approach.

Free speach trumps. Period. Does being in favour of their right to protest make me one of Fred Phelps’ ilk? No more so than does turning opponents of the death penalty into the pond sucking scum they’re defending.

The best approach to dealing with funeral picketing is exactly what is being proposed. Concerned citizens will be out in force to express their disgust at the tactics of Westboro Baptist. Were I in Winnepeg, I would be there too.

UPDATE: I see the lowlives were a no show. Colour me unsurprised. In the perverted world of Fred Phleps though, this counts as a victory. Look at all the free publicity he got.

rofl. gotta love satire.

I’m sure there’s more to this story than what’s reported in this little snippet:

A judge in British Columbia has thrown out charges against a man stopped by police in B. C. last year with four garbage bags in the back seat full of marijuana plants, ruling that the smell of the drug is not enough evidence to justify a search of his car. Provincial court Judge Peder Gulbransen found police seriously violated the man’s constitutional rights. The judge ruled that the smell was evidence of a past offence of possessing marijuana, allowing the officer to check whether the driver was impaired by use of the drug, but did not give sufficient grounds to search the car without a warrant. On June 20, 2007, police in the Vancouver suburb of Delta stopped a vehicle driven by David Razah Hood as they prepared to execute a search warrant on a house believed used for growing marijuana. The officer who stopped the vehicle smelled marijuana and arrested Mr. Hood.

What the fuck? If you’re going to criminalize mary jane then have the guts to give the police the tools to do so. If you apply this ruling to alcohol, then drunk driving is essentially legalized.

The smell of pot should be enough in and of itself for police to search a car.

Now this is sad news. I’ve always liked her in anything she’s done. And, of course, who could forget her stint as Kelly Bundy?

Here’s hoping she beats the big C

I’ve never had anything good to say about the International Olympic Committee. Never. Ever. Certainly not in their behaviour in Munich in 1972, in Moscow in 1980, and now in Peking 2008.

I have always thought that they’re all a bunch of inbred, corrupt cretins.

My opinion of them is confirmed with IOC’s awarding of the games to dictatorships.

Dictatorships, fascist or communist or whatever, do not deserve the games.

Witness China’s behaviour in the run up to the games.

Of course, it’s fun to laugh at the reporters who are only now squaking about China… and only because they’ve been personally affected. Reporters are just a bunch of lousy whiners.

And China and its ilk(Burma, Sudan, Zimbabwe) are scum. They shoud be dismanteld not awarded plums.

I wasn’t going to comment on that horrific beheading on a greyhound bus the other day. It’s all over the news and I didn’t have anything to say aside from a prayer for soul of the poor SOB who was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Now we get to watch the legal process play out over the next ten years or so. It seems fairly obvious that the madman who did it was just that - a madman. I don’t know enough of the law to know what happens in this situation. That will be interesting to see.

With one exception I haven’t read any commentary about the behaviour of the passengers on the bus that dreadful night and it’s that one exception that prompted this post.

Debbie Schlussel, an American ‘conservative’ commentator. She is generally worth a giggle or two. She is as doctrinaire in her ‘conservatism’ as the liberals/commies/marxists/feminazis are in their own beliefs. Anyway she’s got a long scornful post about the cowards(ie the passengers) who didn’t stand up to the madman and ran away instead.

I beg to differ. With due respect to the victim, he was dead. What the madman did to the body is an obscenity but it wasn’t worth dieing over. There were no other lives at risk. The other passengers did the right thing. IF there had been other lives at risk ie if he was in a position to threaten other lives then yes, the passengers would have been obligated to save them. But that’s not what happened.

Wow. He says he’s a Christian but I guess he doesn’t know theology very well. Whatever happened to turn the other cheek?

hehehehehe. I suppose he thinks what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. And after all, he doesn’t have to spend any of his own money for the ‘investigation.’
