His lawyers posted the video earlier today, however the 650mb download was apparently killing their server.

They now point you here to see it.

The rest of the material, including audio interviews with investigators, can be found here.

Those evil landlords might pass on property tax increases to tenants!

FILM AT 11!

Law enforcement agency investigates itself, finds no wrongdoing in death of prisoner.

Apparently an order of protection is as good at stopping crossbow bolts as it is at stopping bullets.  I’m suspecting that the attacker used one of those $20 special crossbows you sometimes find in army/navy stores verses one of the higher end jobs that folks go hunting with since the weatherman was found alive with the bolt in his chest.

I had to watch this as part of “diversity training.” See if you came away with the same thing that I did:

I think the message is supposed to be “you should be more understanding of different cultures.” My takeaway was what the hell kind of mother puts herself in that situation? I mean seriously? Why would you travel/move somewhere with a baby where you don’t speak the language and don’t appear to know anyone who does?

Driving through the old money part of town (incidentally, the same street that Al Gore bought a house on a couple years ago) with my mom the other day, we passed a black youth wearing a zipped up hoodie with the hood up.  Oh, I failed to mention that it was 90 degrees outside and partly cloudy, and this is one of those neighborhoods that’s known for handing out tickets for driving while black.

I mentioned the oddity to my mom.  She agreed and then added “well, as long as we don’t shoot him, we should be fine.”

note: I swear a real post from me will be coming.

Sorry for the lack of posting. I was out of town on business this week, working 18 hour days in sunny Florida. Don’t be jealous: I could’ve been in North Dakota and would have barely noticed.

Sometime in the last 18 months or so, the pornoscanners in Nashville went from “randomly selected passengers” to “anyone not holding an infant.” Thus ends any non-essential travel for me and my family. Sorry, Boomershoot… I wish we could have met.

“Nightclub” is apparently Floridian for “Strip Joint.”

Living in Nashville spoils you for bar music–or any live music really. There are many people getting paid to sing in bars who have no business near a microphone.

Celebrity impersonators are hilarious.

The Panama City Beach Airport is approximately the size of your average high school. There were probably 15 idiots who couldn’t get jobs in a respectable profession TSA folks manning the single security line. Even with that amount of manpower, it still took 20 minutes to start the patdown on the guy who opted out. A few minutes later, the septuagenarian who forgot to take a gum wrapper out of his pocket was swarmed, swabbed for explosives, patted down, and searched thoroughly.

I think next year I’m going to try to get the company to charter a plane instead. It’s surprisingly affordable when you have 8-10 folks going.

But hell no.

The mask slipped. House Democrats actually complain that there are too many rapists and muggers getting killed.

After reading this post over at New Jovian Thunderbolt about giving the reader an idea of scale when taking pictures for reviews, I realized that I never mentioned what my guns are sitting on when I snap pictures of them.

It’s a Chessex Megamat that I use for RPG sessions.  The squares are 1″.  I know a couple people that don’t like it as a backdrop, but it’s come in handy when people want to know the rough dimensions of my guns.

I realize that I’m a bit late to the party and you’ve probably read from just about everyone else, but 5.11 is taking orders for their Tactical Kilts.  They have even decided to make ’em for us fat asses that dare to have waists beyond 40″.  I’ve already ordered mine, and Naienko instructed asked me to order one for her as well.

If you want one, I’d step on it, since they’ll stop taking orders on Thursday, March 3rd (yes, this Thursday).  After that, they say they’ll have a waiting list and you’ll have to see what’s left.

Oh, and I’ve been trying to get WizardPC to order one, but so far no luck.  Maybe more peer pressure.
