Sean Bell Case Verdict

Published by UltraYeah under Law, News

Today, the defendants in the Sean Bell case all got acquitted and now the black community is upset. If you don’t know already, Sean Bell was killed, on the night before his wedding, by three police officers, who were undercover. The officers tried to stop Bell from driving away, but Bell refused and drove until he hit a van. When Bell stepped out of his car, he was shot and killed.

The judge for this case ruled in favor of the three officers on trial, despite the prosecution providing around 50 witnesses. He stated that some of the witnesses contradicted themselves, and their demeanor were questionable; therefore, the prosecution couldn’t prove the officers were guilty, because there was doubt about the reliability of the witnesses.

The thing about criminal cases is that, there has to be proof without a reasonable doubt to prove the defendants are guilty.  Convicting somebody because the prosecution’s story is sad,  isn’t an ethical way to handle a trial. It’s really sad that he got killed the night before his wedding, but we still have to look at the facts. And frankly, the prosecution couldn’t muster enough reliable witnesses…

Team Tibet

Published by UltraYeah under News, Politics, Rant

If I had sold Tibetan merchandise in San Francisco, London, or Paris, I would be extremely rich. It seems everybody and their mothers came out to support Tibet and the “human rights” issue. Below is a video that shows how informed these people really are.

 

 
If you can’t find Tibet on a map, why are you protesting? If you say for “human rights”, I’m going to ask where you find your sources; watching Seven Years in Tibet isn’t enough to call yourself an expert on Tibet. The only reason these people are protesting is because of the publicity the media is giving them. For all you Tibet supporters, why didn’t ya’ll feel so strongly Tibet last year? There are so many other issues today that the world should focus their attention on. For instance, the fighting in Somalia, Darfur, or the food crisis in Senegal, all have more precedence than human rights in Tibet; yet, human rights in Tibet seems to be the most worthy of the protesters’ voice.

UT Austin student arrested

Published by UltraYeah under News, School

UT student Jason Liao was arrested last week for having a concealed handgun on campus, a third degree felony. He posted bail Saturday night after spending a week in jail and reporters at The Daily Texan, the official UT newspaper, tried to reach him for an interview. Liao could not be reached so they decided to interview his friends instead. Check out these quotes from the interview:

Liao sometimes lives in a fantasy world where he is a member of a Chinese crime syndicate

Anytime he likes a girl, he makes her worry. He’s like, “Hey I’m going to go on a mission involving a gun. In case something happens to me, here’s my bank account number so you can bail me out”

I’m Rambo, I carry a minigun every day

I’m really not making fun of Jason, I just think his friends are insanely funny smiley face

NATO is Supplying the Taliban

Published by NO under News, Politics

First off, if you don’t know what NATO is, it stands for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It’s a military alliance of countries who mutually agree to defend each other when one is in danger. Member countries include: Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States.

Today they admitted that they have been mistakenly supplying food, water and arms to Taliban forces in southern Afghanistan! They were supposed to drop the supplies off at a certain point, forgot how to read a map, and dropped the supplies some where away, where the Taliban grabbed it and gave the thumbs up to the men on board the helicopter. The pallet of supplies included rockets propelled gernades, ammunition, water, and food. Politicians in Afghanistan believe it was done purposely, while NATO’s general blames it on “human error” aka idiocy. “We are aware of it but we are not fired up about it. It sounds like someone made a mistake. It was a cock-up rather than a conspiracy.”The forces on the ground are working to get the…

Crysis is Coming to Life

Published by NO under News

The military is currently working on suits with super strength to be used in battle reminiscent of the computer game Crysis. I can see it now: Americans walking in little tanks of suits through Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, and who knows where next?! Hope to God not! I have to admit though, this is some amazing technology.

I stole your Alligator

Published by UltraYeah under Animals, Funny Things, News

This guy in Texas decided to steal an 6 foot alligator and put it in his car. Fortunately, he was caught by a state trooper, before he was eaten. Come on guy, what can you do with an alligator?

The trooper told Eyewitness News that William Johnson found the gator in the road near Angleton and loaded it up into his Buick Regal, then broke into a house in Brazoria.

DPS Trooper Steve Stanfield explained, “From my understanding, he tried to get a big screen TV out of the house. He couldn’t get it in the car by himself, so he recruited a neighbor, who, when he saw the alligator, dropped the TV and said, ‘Alright, I ain’t got nothing to do with it.’”

No Matter How Crazy You Are, There’s Always Someone Worse

Published by NO under News

Joseph Manzanarez was arrested after he caused disruption in a Hollywood Video where his girl friend works.  He threatened to kill her over what? Which gang their 4 year old child would join. He is a member of the Westside Ballers and she is a member of the Crips. Seriously, should we make people apply to have children? Obviously many are unfit for parenthood, and it’s not crazy to say that people like these are committing a crime by forcing a child to grow up in such an outrageous environment.

This Guy Hates Women More than Anyone Else, Hands Down

Published by NO under News

His name is Dick Masterson and he hates women more than you do. He has a book and a web site Here are a few quotes from his site:

“In the case of IQ, science has shown men to be smarter than women by mere inches. Even though women act like retarded monkeys, they don’t test like them. Still, what does “mere inches” actually look like? I’ll bet it’s fucking enormous.”

“Women’s entire lives and social circles are based around hatred. Do they hate their boyfriends? Do they hate their wardrobe? Do they hate each other? Yes, yes and fuck definitely. Men don’t go in for that silly sort of nonsense. If we’re dissatisfied, we pick up and move out. Or we take our mighty man muscles and lift fucking mountains so the world looks exactly the way we want it to. Men do more world changing before 9:00 AM than any woman ever has done in her whole life.”

“Do you know why men wear watches? It’s because there’s a limited amount of time in the day and men need to know how much of it there is so they can efficiently…
