1)LAPD- Chris Dorner finally reached the end of his rope this week when he was cornered in a cabin in Big Bear, California and shot himself before the flames did. Dorner wasn't as well prepared as I would have thought and basically trapped himself. Why did he not have an escape plan from Big Bear after torching his car? Why stay in an area swarming with cops? We will probably never know. What is a bigger question is why the LAPD was recorded by news media as saying "burn that motherfucker down," while in a fire fight with Dorner, and then after the cabin actually burns down, deny that was ever a possibility? Tear gas was blamed initially, meaning it was Waco all over again. You'd think over the last few decades someone would have invented a tear gas that doesn't explode and cause fires. It has also come out that the judge who upheld Dorner's firing is one corrupt bastard with LAPD ties. I still find it odd that he was fired for this while others who do far worse get a slap on the wrist.
2)British Airways- Usually it's some drunken passenger that causes problems, but recently it was flight crew that got drunk and rowdy. During a flight, the first class crew started popping champagne and groping each other. For the people who paid $7500 for a seat, they were understandably pissed as they tried to sleep and had a raucous party going on instead. After a supervisor shut down their booze drinking, they continued to fall all over themselves, and other passengers, while behaving, and I quote, "like spoiled brats." Wow. Last month, an off duty BA pilot was suspended for a second time for molesting a female passenger. Shouldn't he have been fired?
3)NYPD- Yes, the other coast has their share of problems too as a NYPD officer who brutally raped a schoolteacher has been found not guilty, despite eyewitness testimony, DNA and a host of other forensic evidence. WTF? Apparently, NY law says that anal and oral rape are not actually rape but "sexual assault," and the officer was over charged leading to a not guilty verdict on those charges. Must be nice to be behind South Dakota and Kentucky in rape laws. Luckily, he was convicted of sexual assault and rape for two other attacks for which he has received 75 years. Good. I hate rapists and especially rapist cops. Hope he likes prison.
4)CNN- Usually, it's Fox News with some absolutely stupid story that defies logic. This week, it's CNN with the dumbest news caster ever. While interviewing Bill Nye about the approaching asteroid that will pass very close to the planet, and may have been responsible for the meteor strike in Russia yesterday, CNN news anchor, Deb Feyeric asked whether the approaching meteor may have been a result of global warming. Are you kidding me? I expect that kind of question from Gretchen Carlson or Steve Doucey not CNN. Bill Nye was understandable stunned by such a stupid question which he of course he responded, "No."
5)ITCCS- If you've never heard of this group until this week, join the crowd. This European based organization is fighting against child porn and molestation by Church and State individuals, a noble cause. However, this week, they took credit for the Pope resignation by saying they were about to arrest the him for crimes against humanity. This story took off across the Internet with many seeing it as fact. However, when looking into it, I find they have no actual power for any arrest, other than a citizen's one, which really doesn't exist except in some lunatics head. If you try to arrest someone, chances are good you yourself will get charged with kidnapping, false imprisonment and a host of other charges. This story is bull and is being used to take credit for something they had no actual input in. Kind of like terrorists who do the same thing. And people, just cause you read it on the Internet, doesn't make it true.
6)North Korea- This week saw them fire off their third nuke test and world wide condemnation. This is what nuclear proliferating accomplishes for all those that say "what's the worst that could happen if Iran gets nukes?" If you think raving loons getting hold of nukes are a good idea and also rally for complete gun control, you are one deranged lunatic yourself. The world is a dangerous place and this kind of activity could lead to the extinction of mankind. Iran cannot be allowed to get nuclear weapons even if we have to go to war to do it. The alternative, as seen in North Korea, is a nuclear war.
7)China- Speaking of war, China is moving troops and tanks to coastal regions, sparking concern that they are readying themselves for an attack on Japan over those idiotic disputed islands. Japan is already on high alert because of the North Korea flare up and have hinted that a pre-emptive strike is possible to protect themselves. This could also be causing part of the troop build up in China as well. This is shaping up to be a very bad year.
8)Marco Rubio- Making the rebuttal speech of Bobby Jindal look classy in retrospect, Rubio did real harm to his chances for higher office by appearing after the Obama State of the Union address as a sweaty, pasty monkey who couldn't go five minutes without a drink of water. It didn't help that everything he said was GOP boilerplate nonsense that the voters rejected soundly last election. They haven't changed a bit which is too bad because the rest of the country has.
9)Republicans- Again playing politics, the nominations for Chuck Hegel has been held up for Secretary of Defense as idiots like Lindsey Graham play politics instead of actually doing his fucking job. Comments on gay rights and Israel have come back to haunt him even though he apologized for the first from fifteen years ago and the latter was only a slight against Israel if you make it that way. They are still grandstanding on the sequester, the budget, and any other nitpicky thing they can. Christ, I hate the GOP.
10)Democrats- Yes, even the democrats get a slam this week as we have several states or individuals who are desperately trying to prove every gun owner out there that they really are coming for your guns. Obama ended his speech on a populist note of demanding a vote on gun control, some of which is good (Background checks for all), and not so good (banning "assault" rifles). Dianne Fienstein is still trying to get her "let's make 90% of guns illegal for law abiding citizens" bill to a vote. The most frightening and dangerous was the democratic Missouri politicians who are trying to pass a bill that would make owning certain guns illegal and subject to confiscation or arrest. Good luck with that. I hope you have a good supply of body bags when your cops come to get those guns because the words "armed insurrection" come to mind. This kind of crap plays right into the GOP hands and gives them a serious wedge issue for the next election and beyond. Stop pandering already and fix what needs to be fixed, like ending the drug war, rather than going after law abiding citizens.
11)Oscar Pistorius- The famed athlete, known as Blade Runner, as he has no legs is no being charged with the murder of his model girlfriend. This has bi-op picture written all over it. Man beats odds to get to the Olympics and blows it all by shooting his girlfriend. Recent reports say he shot her four times through a bathroom door, meaning the poor girl had no idea what was even coming. Local police have reported going to the residence several times for domestic issues, which is hardly a surprise. It makes me happy that my girlfriend and I hardly ever fight and certainly have never had the police arrive. I also know she would never shoot me through the bathroom door. What a way to through away a career. So congratulation Oscar you are indeed douchebag of the week.
