Congresswoman's son sentenced for slashing GOP tires
MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin (AP) -- A congresswoman's son and three Democratic campaign workers were sentenced Wednesday to four to six months in jail for slashing tires outside a Bush-Cheney campaign office on Election Day 2004.

The men pleaded no contest in January to misdemeanor property damage. A fifth worker was found not guilty.

This guy gets 6 months in jail for slashing tires, but a REPUBLICAN Arizona State Sen.'s son gets nothing for sodomizing young campers....where is the justice in that?

2. I have no sympathy for these punks...
who were slashing tires, but yes, the turd in Arizona who abused the children should have done some serious prison time.

9. I have "some" sympathy for them,
but hazarding a highway vehicle goes well beyond childish pranks. But please clue me in on thaa scumbg in Arizona. I must have missed that one.

3. CNN, once again being 'fair and balanced'. Where's the story about the
Repubs son, a truly horrific story, you're right? I couldn't even follow that story.

Dems son slashes Repub tyres, gets jailtime and it's on CNN.

Repubs son sodomizes 18 young boys, makes deal and it's not on CNN.

Maybe they missed that story, maybe we need to email them the info! :sarcasm:


They do try their best to make it seem that Dems are as corrupt as Repubs.

And Clifton Bennett, Senator Bennetts son deserves prison time and to be listed in the police database of pedophiles.

Why is the pedophile getting off...

7. If I had known in 2000 what would happen when Bush was (s)elected...
I would have been slashing tires myself.

10. Now that this is off the table
perhaps Milwaukee can focus on the Frank Jude beating and getting justice for this victim

Republican gets Oklahoma City airport bomb suspect out of jail

Believe it or not, you can find interesting stuff on Blog Explosion. Like the following bit of extreme stupidity.

Former Oklahoma City mayor Kirk Humphreys, a Republican, helped Charles Alfred Dreyling, 24, get out of jail last week after he was arrested carrying a pipe bomb into Will Rogers World Airport.

Dreyling told authorities that he had made the device and said it was “basically a pipe bomb,” according to an affidavit. Dreyling said he built the device for entertainment value, never intending to hurt anyone, and forgot that it was in his carryon bag when he brought it to the airport, the affidavit said.

Dreyling said he learned as a teenager how to build homemade explosives from Web sites like “The Anarchist’s Cook Book.” Dreyling said he has built and detonated several explosive devices for recreational purposes, according to the affidavit. — Airport Business
