This is why they need me on juries:
HOLLIDAYSBURG — A man convicted of first-degree murder in the stabbing death of his ex-girlfriend’s 6-year-old son was spared the death penalty when jurors could not reach a decision.
Could not reach a decision? He murdered a 6 year-old kid. What’s to decide? Oh wait, there’s more:
Nathan Shaw, 27, of Tyrone, was also convicted of aggravated assault, rape, indecent assault and other charges in an attack on the boy’s mother on the day after Christmas in 2005.
Again, what’s to decide? I’ll bring the rope. Oh, you’ll love this:
Shaw told jurors Thursday that he was running down a hallway carrying a knife when he accidentally collided with young Jared and the knife plunged into the boy’s throat. He denied beating and choking the boy and said he grabbed the knife when he heard the woman arguing with an unknown man, who fled.
Judge, he ran into my knife! Really!
And as if that weren’t enough, we have this blithering idiot:
UNIVERSITY PARK — A student leader of the anti-sweatshop movement is facing prosecution and possible university sanctions in a vandalism case.
It’s not like the case is ambiguous. They have this idiot vandalizing doors on security camera tape — and this idiot “activist” admits it:
Guevara said a security camera mounted in or near Old Main apparently recorded her as part of the group.
But of course, being an “activist” type, the idiot is whining and trying to turn this into a “rights” issue:
But the student, Olivia Guevara, said Penn State is being overly harsh and may be attempting to scare student activists.
“I feel it’s a plan of intimidation by the university,” said Guevara, a graduate student in industrial relations. “If they shut up Olivia, then maybe they can shut the entire organization.”
A couple of years in Rockview should cure the problem. Lock the “activist” up.
Guevara is a leader in United Students Against Sweatshop Labor, one of two anti-sweatshop groups that have persistently lobbied the university. Penn State holds contracts with major vendors, such as Nike and Adidas, that make university-branded merchandise overseas.
Yeah, these are the idiots that also run around in clothes they bought at K-Mart (they can’t afford anything else), made in sweatshops. Idiots.
Gina Marie says:
These “idiots” are not running around in K-Mart clothing. They have money (from Mommy and Daddy) and can afford expensive free-trade clothes or, they save up their own money. Because if it’s one thing we CAN learn from activists, it’s that they are passionate and (generally) not hypocritical about their beliefs. It’s hard for someone who doesn’t have passion to understand those who do.
