This is awful, but I am not surprised. I know of many incidents involving violence perpetrated by union thugs including an incident involving myself. A few years back my cousin and I went on a vacation to Las Vegas, and we simply walked in front of a group of union employees protesting in front of the Venetian Hotel and Casino. We were verbally harassed, threatened, and called all sorts of vulgar names simply because we walked in front of these guys. Keep in mind that we were only 23 years old at the time, and we are 5' 2" females. Needless to say I can not stand union employees and that was my first and last trip to Vegas!
What justification does the US government have for destroying evidence from a criminal case? How dare this judge delete O'Keefe's video footage! As a LA resident and native I am not at all surprised by this judge's actions since we have some of the most lousy and corrupt judges in the country. Journalists used to be protected and have freedom of speech in the US, but unfortunately that is no longer the case. I am very disappointed about what the United States has become; it is no longer a beacon of freedom and equality. It is now a state run by greedy politicians who think that they are above the common citizens.
Thanks for the support, and let me say that the Louisianians I have spoken with support Arizona and your immigration law. The federal government does nothing to help fix our problems, and at the same time our President has no problem with the outrageous statements made by the President of Mexico regarding Arizona. Lastly, I want to say how disgusted I am by the boycott of Arizona by many CA communities. I have no current plans to vacation on the West Coast, but when I do decide to take a trip out West it will be to AZ and not CA!
Interesting video! The hay seems to be pretty effective in capturing the oil.
I can't wait to try this sandwich! I love chick fil-a, and I love spicy chicken sandwiches so I anticipate that this sandwich will be great.
I am outraged! Our Coast is being destroyed, our wildlife is dying, and many people in the fishing and tourism industries are at risk for losing their jobs....meanwhile the officials in Washington are busy coming up with new ways to take more of our money! What is wrong with the majority of voters in the US that they were willing to put these people in charge of our government?
As a Louisiana resident I am happy that we are attempting to take care of our own problems especially after our Katrina response which many people criticized. That said I am very disappointed (but not surprised) with the response from the Federal Government and BP. While I am not against drilling I can understand Florida's aversion to offshore drilling especially when you consider that LA, MS, AL, FL, and TX do not get royalties for the oil and gas extracted from these rigs because they are in "federal waters." Alaska is generously compensated for their oil, but we get nothing yet we are expected to clean up the damage done to our coastline by this disaster.
I find it interesting that the mainstream news media constantly accuses the Tea Party protesters of violence and racism with absolutely no evidence supporting their claims, and yet they completely ignore this story. I hope whoever attacked this couple are prosecuted to the harshest extent allowed by law; a free society can not tolerate this type of behavior. I can't believe that these people actually broke a woman's leg! The violent thugs that did this disgust me!
This is great news!!! You know that the Federal Government is extremely disappointed with Toyota's improving sales numbers. I am also happy that Ford's financial situation has been improving over the last year. I just hope that GM sales continue to tank. I don't care if I have to walk to where I need to go; I will never buy a General Motors car!
Zilam428: Actually the loss of bees is also happening in Europe so there is some evidence that this is happening in developed countries. I am not saying that cell phones are the reason for the loss of these bees, and I would agree that the losses are likely being caused by chemicals (pesticides), bacteria, or a virus. That said, since this is a global phenomenon and seems to be happening in developed areas such as the US and Europe, the possible connection to cell phone use should be studied.
