Following but not blogging about. I’m a busy man after all. But these stories are interesting and some will directly affect you and your loved ones.
These stories come via Drudge:
Recession strapped Toledo is laying off about 75 police officers, leading to an increase in gun sales to people who are suddenly realizing the police aren’t state provided permanent bodyguards.
Columbus, Ohio is threatening to lay off up to 300 police officers if the voters reject a tax increase. Some of those cops jobs were supposedly saved by stimulus money.
Sacramento is closing down its main mental hospital due to economic woes.
Gateway Pundit has been following a corruption scandal involving Chrysler closings. Almost all of the dealership closings come from “red” counties, while the biggest Democrat donor was allowed to keep six dealerships open as all his competition was closed by the government. Doug Ross has evidence that almost all dealerships closed by Chrysler were donors to the McCain campaign. The decision to close the dealerships was made by President’s task force.
Trench posted the story of a Toronto man who used the site Vampire Freaks to find an underage girl. He then made child porn and bestiality videos with her.This is the third or fourth story I’ve come across where that site has been involved in an especially heinous crime. When will parents learn to keep their kids off it?
Lilo has all the sad and sick details of the Melecio Camacho case. Warning, this is a brutal rape and murder of a three-year-old, strong stomach required.
The Shaming of the Shames has a post up on the Imette St. Guillen trial that’s worth reading, especially if you buy into any of the conspiracy theories about the main suspect being set up.
Internal memo shows ACORN knowingly violated the conditions that allow them to have tax-exempt status. Got to love that Hot Air “Greenroom” section.
Shadowscope has an update on missing child Nevaeh Buchanan.
T.D.K.O.M has a horrific story of an attempted rape in a daycare center.
Black and Missing but Not Forgotten has the sad case of Bonita Sanders, missing for 22-years.
Am I missing anything?
