Law Schools Worry About Becoming Obsolete?

Lawyers, police, FBI, courts, law schools, exist to protect the interests of the wealthy and powerful establishment. Currently that establishment is bringing the US into a global setting wherein citizens enjoy less rights and less privileges, less freedom and live as citizens of poorer nations have lived for many years. They do this without the consent of the governed. This misguided goal will have the same outcome as the floundering European Union. Forcing rich nations give their wealth to poor nations is no solution to poverty. It just makes everyone poor. Young law school grads can always get a job in Washington DC. Obama is hiring lawyers as fast as they can get to town.

Weston Couple Accused of Housing Subsidy Fraud in Cambridge

What poor person(s) were prevented from having a home because of these greedy bozos? Why do police and their criminal associates in crime families keep me under 24/7 surveillance, harassing me, slandering me, provoking me and threatening me; while people like this charming pair were living large robbing the taxpayer blind? Do crime families run government agencies? Who creates the priorities for the police?

Chicago Suburb Police Fatally Shoot 15-year-old Disabled Boy

One question is why the police were called at all. Why weren't there plans to control this child knowing his history? What role did psychiatry play in previous encounters? How effective was the psychiatric diagnosis? What is the connection between the alleged violence and the mental illnesses of the diagnosis? Police are likely to shoot dead any person they fear who refuses to obey their commands. They seldom make any distinction between persons with disabilities and other persons. Feeling threatened does not make distinctions. Unmentioned is the role of any psychiatric drugs this teen may have been ingesting. They do have a causal connection to violence.

[From article]
"Gilmore said police had been called to the home 10 times since 2010 to deal with the boy.
[boy's uncle said] “They could have tased him, like they did him before, took him to the hospital and he would have been fine
[. . .]
Gilmore said a stun gun wasn’t used because the lead officer did not have a stun gun.
Five officers responded to the Watts home after Stephon’s father called police, according to Gilmore. Two entered the house, heading to the basement where they found Stephon. One of those two officers did have a stun gun with him.
[. . .]
Gilmore said a year ago, all of the officers in the department went through a three-day autism awareness program to learn how to handle calls involving people with autism."

Saint Doonesbury, the Teaching Missionary

Saint Doonesbury, the Teaching Missionary to the Christians


From: Doonesbury, GB Trudeau,
http://www.doonesbury.com/strip/archive/2011/12/21

[From article]
"It was five centuries after the first jihad passed before the Koran was translated into a Western language, Latin. Then it took another five centuries before there was another translation. Do you see a trend? The first translation of Mohammed’s biography into English did not occur until the 17th century. The major Hadith author, Bukhari, is known in an English translation by a Muslim and that was done in the 20th century. This is a dreadful intellectual history. There were some good works in German, Italian and some other European languages, but the discussion about Islam took place mainly in academic realms.
[. . .]
At this time the overwhelming majority of Christian leaders know nothing about the doctrine of Islam. They do not criticize Islam in public, not even in their own houses of worship. Not only are they unable to speak the truth about Islam, but, also they will not allow discussion about the topic. Ministers see that the history of 1400 years of being dhimmis, the annihilation of Christianity, and Islamic slavery is never mentioned, never talked about.
[. . .]
Why do religious leaders refuse to learn the doctrine and history of Islam? They are terrified of being called a bigot, an Islamophobe or intolerant. In business law, there is a concept of willful ignorance, and it can be a felony. Should we not hold our religious leaders to a higher standard than business leaders?

TSA: Thieves Stealing at Airports, and More

[From article]
"The passenger had placed his jacket on the belt so it could be scanned. After it was scanned, the passenger complained that his money was missing.
Port Authority police spokesman Al Della Fave said Schmid was caught on camera taking the money, placing it into a latex glove and then going to the bathroom with it.
[. . .]
On Tuesday, The Port reported that clueless TSA agents found two possible pipe bombs in a passenger’s luggage at LaGuardia Airport this past Monday -- and kept them in a public area for six hours without notifying cops.
TSA bozos at one point left the pipes, which eventually turned out to be harmless, resting on a radiator as hundreds of fliers passed through security nearby."

US Attorneys Oppose Resentencing Of Sampson

Knowing how FBI agents ignore persons they believe are mentally ill it is difficult to accept the reason excusing the FBI as "accidentally [having] disconnected Samson's call." If it was an accident why was the agent disciplined? In the months leading to the murder of President Kennedy in November 1963, some men told the FBI at more than one office that there was a plan to kill the president. They all were ignored because the agents believed they were mentally ill, or had a history of mental illness which is worse. MA state police ignore complaints about crimes from persons they believe are mentally lll, because "they are not reliable," as one Trooper at headquarters told me. That implies that "normal" people do not lie. Ahem! So if the agent did not disconnect the call for whatever reason three men would still be alive.

[From article]
"The men were all killed in less than one week after the FBI accidentally disconnected Sampson’s phone call to surrender to a fugitive warrant."

Cambridge Needs More Dancers

Marjorie Decker must expect some jobs for local union residents who make campaign contributions. Cambridge needs more people dancing than it needs bank robbers, muggers or a Mayor. Without a Mayor, Cambridge will save taxpayer funds, that the City Manager can keep in one of his hundreds of special accounts. Without a Chairman of the School Committee there may be more tie votes thwarting the spending of taxpayer funds there also. Taxpayers deserve a trial period with no Mayor and no School Committee Chairman. Odds are there will be little difference, and maybe a change for the better, i.e., money for a new dance center.

the oldest daughter, was forbidden to attend school for a year because she had a young Pakistani-Canadian boyfriend, and she fled to a shelter, terrified of her father, the court was told.
The prosecution said her parents found condoms in Sahar's room as well as photos of her wearing short skirts and hugging her Christian boyfriend, a relationship she had kept secret. Geeti was becoming almost impossible to control: skipping school, failing classes, being sent home for wearing revealing clothes and stealing, while declaring to authority figures that she wanted to be placed in foster care, according to the prosecution."

"In an administration filled with them, Holder is an especially unlovely character, a second-rate intellect wrapped inside a third-rate temperament. Whiny, petulant, accusatory, obfuscatory, unhelpful, and deceitful, he never convincingly defends himself but instead reflexively accuses his critics of racism – truly, the last refuge of a liberal scoundrel – and never should have been brought back to the Justice Department after his disgraceful service in the Clinton administration regarding the Marc Rich pardon.
[. . .]
if Holder knows anything about organized crime — and he should, since he’s part of a bipartisan crime ring based in Chicago that goes back to Big Jim Colosimo and Alphonse Capone by way of Big Bill Thompson and the Daley Family — he ought to know that he just got il bacio della morte [kiss of death]."

Harvard Is Diverse But Intolerant of Conflicting Opinions

Dean Hammonds "lauded King’s message of establishing a 'beloved community' based on brotherhood, love, and justice." One problem with disagreements is the definition of words. What is meant by "justice" for example? Does it mean giving rewards to individuals who did not earn them? Does it mean punishing individuals who did no wrong? Why is MLK Jr.'s dream of judging people on the basis of their character not their skin color, ignored by black politicians and academics? Greedy Cambridge politicians demand that 30 percent of public school employees should be black. Hammonds had no comment. "Hammonds added that Harvard is one of the most diverse communities in the world." At the same time Harvard is the most intolerant of diverse opinions. Is Harvard more diverse than New York City? Last month the Harvard Faculty voted to delete courses of a professor whose opinions they disliked, calling it hate speech. Hammonds had no comment. "Hammonds said it is the College’s responsibility to teach students 'how to respectfully disagree.'" In that the College has failed miserably. Try suggesting on campus that Affirmative Action is a government abomination discriminating based on race. How tolerant are Harvard affiliates to Republicans or to critics of Obama and Holder? How long does it take for Harvard students to call those with whom they disagree, racists without defining the term?

Black Philadelphia Teens Attack White Cab Passenger

"IN A HORRIFIC assault in Center City on Saturday night, three teenagers who were spouting racial slurs pulled a man out of a cab to beat him. And when the cabdriver intervened to stop the assault, the teens turned their rage on him, police said yesterday.
About 8:25 p.m., a cab was stopped at a red light at 15th and Chestnut streets when two 17-year-old boys and a 15-year-old boy approached and started calling the male passenger in the back seat racially derogatory names, police said."

Billion Dollars Vaporized?

This article was written from other sources. Were the sources spin doctors or dumb journalists fooled by spin doctors? Saying "a 'significant amount' of the money could have 'vaporized'" is nonsense. Money was moved from one account to another. If the money was lost due to a bad investment that can be shown. But to say it vaporized is just a way to cover up theft. Who is lying? The journalists or the PR flack?

Brainwashed elected officials and journalists refuse to recognize the source of many problems in this country.

The main issue of this article is releasing arrest records of crime victims. Not mentioned in the story is the fact that many police officers refer to suspects as "dirt bags," and "scum bags" dehumanizing them. Cities have policies against hate speech which is not applied to police. By dehumanizing suspects police suggest that they are lesser citizens and do not deserve the protections of the laws and the Constitution. Perhaps that is why they do that to justify their inablitiy to protect civilians who try to do good.

Another aspect of this is the fact that just because people break some laws does not mean they will break all laws. The case of Karen Silkwood who was a happy go lucky young woman is appropriate. She discovered that her employer utility in Oklahoma was exposing workers to radiation and killing them. She was murdered when she went to speak to a reporter from the New York Times. Do her minor law violations make her any less a victim, or deserving of corporate crime?
