Colin Farmer made the mistake of going out for a walk while carrying a samurai sword. Oh, wait, it was actually a white cane! But some cop apparently can’t tell the difference, so he zapped the blind 61-year-old with 50,000 volts! Farmer seems to have survived without permanent injury, but at such an age and with a couple of strokes in the background his can be considered a lucky escape…

Variety is the spice of life…
We all know that American cops love three things above all others : eating donuts, getting free blowjobs from hookers, and shooting negroes in the back.
A man needs variety in his life, though, so occasionally a cop takes his dick out of some hooker’s mouth and throws the donuts away long enough to shoot himself a different kind of victim. Not wanting to stress himself out, such a man tries to find the easiest target available. No going after some 6’4”, 300 pound biker, no siree. A cripple in a wheelchair, that’s what’s needed.
This may be what happened when some cop in Texas was called to a late night disturbance involving a one-armed, one-legged, schizophrenic man in a wheelchair. Freaked out by the obviously agile lunatic, and perhaps not realizing that having all four limbs is a huge advantage when taking on a cripple armed only with a pen, officer Matthew Jacob Marin pulled out his gun and blew the man away. His excuse? He apparently thought the pen was a knife!
Even if it is true that this flatfoot can’t tell the difference between a thing what writes and a thing what slices, it is very difficult to see why a knock on the head with a big black stick wouldn’t have served just as well – or a kick in the teeth for that matter, after all the guy was sitting down.
For reasons of fairness I must point out that the cop may have been in the right, and for the sake of reason I must point out that I find that possibility to be a rather remote one.

How not to raise a child.
Here we have a couple of worthless Texan maggots beating the crap out of their teenage daughter for some minor offense to do with the internet. The poor excuse for a man is a family court judge named William Adams of Aransas County (Texas), and even though this video is several years old he has not been charged and is apparently still serving as a judge. Oh yeah, he’s apparently a Republican, which comes as no surprise to anyone who’s been paying attention to the way those dirtbags have behaved over the last few decades.
This degree of child abuse is not only wrong (well, duh) but is something I would personally like to see the law punish as severely as possible – busting the parents’ kneecaps then whipping them senseless with barbed wire seems fitting to me. And yes, that includes the mother, despite the uploader’s claims that she is a victim not a perpetrator. Funny, for someone who isn’t violent she does a good impression…And yes, I know the uploader claims to be the teen involved, but it wouldn’t be the first time an abused kid made excuses for their abuser, so I will need more than the girl’s word to exonerate mommy dearest.
There has been talk of YouTube removing the video, so you might want to download it and repost it somewhere else.
California to Set Free Shitload of Female Prisoners
California is about to relieve its overcrowded prison system by letting out some of their female inmates, namely those that have committed crimes that were “nonviolent, nonserious and not sexual” and who have children to look after.
Since minor, non-violent crims shouldn’t be in jail to begin with, and are thrown in with the scum only to fatten corporate wallets, this is good news. But what about the fathers and the childless folks who have committed such minor offenses? Why are only the women with children being given this break? The attached article claims that similar may be done for male inmates in the future, but in my view that “may” is worth about as much as a badly bent 75 cent coin. While hoping that this is the beginning of an initiative that will see large numbers of harmless fools let back out into the sunlight, I am inclined to think that this will all fade away once the federal government stops hassling California about its overstuffed chicken pens and goes on to matters more important than freeing men who shouldn’t be in jail.
As for the equally clear discrimination against the childless, I will put that down to two factors. By letting parents out, they not only save money at the jail end of things, but also on welfare aid to whoever is looking after the children now, a secondary gain which obviously will not come about when releasing the childless. The other thing that comes to mind is that this is yet another way to pressure people into having kids to feed to the machine. Plan to smoke pot or shoplift a pack of munchies? Why, just turn out a few puppies first and you’ll never go to jail again! Congratulations, you’ve just given birth to a nine pound “Get Out of Jail Free” card!

Pups In Prison
In my view the penal system cares very little about its inmates or indeed about the public’s safety. Here in Australia it seems to be about keeping these guys, and of course guys is what most convicts are, in a place where they can’t commit any more crime. In places like the US it seems to be mostly about wringing corporate profits out of human misery.
What happens with most criminals, even the nonviolent ones, is that the system basically throws them away. While inside very little effort is put into trying to rehabilitate these guys, and when they come out they very often find it hard to get work and on top of that they have to put up with the stigma of being an ex-con. In a welfare state like Australia the lack of work simply means having a lower standard of living,  in a country like the US it often comes down to a matter of survival, and will often leave the newly released convict with no choice but to re-offend.
There are however, some good programs aimed at rehabilitating convicts and in Australia one such is Pups in Prison. Run by Assistance Dogs Australia, the program uses men convicted of low-level offenses to train dogs that provide aid to the disabled by opening doors, flicking on light switches – the kind of thing that most able-bodied people take for granted. And I should point out that these men are from minimum security, so don’t worry – no one is giving a serial killer a puppy!
Training these dogs helps in the men’s rehabilitation by giving them skills that they may be able to use to get a legitimate source of income once they have left the jail, but the benefits seem to be mostly on the psychological level. As one inmate puts it…
“For the first time in years it will allow us to show softness, tenderness and affection. Caring for these dogs will help us rekindle certain feelings and emotions, help us lighten up and bring a little more humanity into our lives…
Instead of taking from society, it [the Pups in Prison Program] provides us with an opportunity to actually give back. From criminal to contributor.
“It [the Pups in Prison Program] has a win-win-win-win aspect to it. It will help us inmates, it will help Assistance Dogs Australia, it will help people with special needs and it will also help the prison environment, by improving self esteem and empathy levels among inmates, increase positive behaviours and moods, create better relationships between staff and inmates and open up more opportunities for education, training and employment…”
Nothing being perfect, Pups In Prison won’t have a beneficial effect on all of these men but it will on some and that’s good enough for me, so as long as it’s not being used to make life easier for seriously violent offenders and as long as no one decides to give Michael Vick one of these dogs, it’s a piece of good news in an otherwise bleak situation.

One of the convicts in this video seems to be wearing a pair of sneakers that mysteriously disappeared from my closet a few months ago, I assume however that this is a mere coincidence….
