More Bizarre News - All I can do is shake my head ruefully

[Charean]

A gross breach of justice is occurring right now in Los
Angeles. Actor Robert Blake (of "Baretta" fame) and his
bodyguard were arrested Thursday in the shooting death of
Blake's wife nearly a year ago.

After an exhaustive investigation and hundreds of interviews,
Police Chief Bernard Parks said there was enough "physical
and significant circumstantial evidence" to warrant the
arrests. Police will ask prosecutors to charge Blake with
one count of murder and two counts of solicitation of murder.

In true LA fashion, the entire arrest was captured on video
including the drive to the police station, filmed from a
news helicopter. The whole episode smacked of O.J. and not
a soul who owned a television 1995 in failed to recognize it.

Now why should this poor bastard go to jail for liquidating
his wife when "The Juice" is in Florida right now working on
his short game? They are both marginal to poor actors. They
were both decades past their prime at the times of their
respective murders. If the system is going to grossly fail
to dispense justice it must grossly fail to dispense justice
for everyone equally!

Of course, Blake may still go free after a year-long trial
during which the networks will make hundreds of millions of
dollars, but can America survive another such blow to its
public image? Can Americans watch another such trial on
television without turning to the streets and fire-bombing
lawyers' offices in protest?

Perhaps the fact that Blake looks a lot more like a murderer
than O.J. did will weigh on the jury.

The only hope we have is that Blake doesn't have nearly as
much money as O.J. did at the time of his trial. But fear
is still running high as Johnnie Cochran's office has been
refusing telephone calls.

SAN FRANCISCO - It's not nice to call someone "chicken butt"
on the air - but it's not slanderous either. A state appeals
court this week dismissed a slander lawsuit filed against a
radio station by a former contestant of the Fox television
show "Who Wants to Marry a Multimillionaire." Jennifer Seelig
sued KLLC-FM in San Francisco after a DJ called her a "local
loser" and a "chicken butt." The Court of Appeal said Seelig
had no cause to sue because she had invited media scrutiny
when she agreed to appear on the TV show. It said the com-
ments were merely an expression of opinion. The court also
ruled Seelig must pay the legal fees of the station and its
employees under a state law that penalizes suits that seek
to squelch free speech.

------ Would-Be Thieves Learn For Whom The Bell Tolls ------

MERELBEKE, Belgium - The chiming bells of a Belgian church
were not music to the ears of a pair of would-be thieves
when the duo set them off during an attempted robbery. The
bells were reportedly attached to the collection box they
were trying to steal and began to toll as soon as they
picked it up. This makeshift alarm system had been rigged
up by the priest at St. Pieterschurch in Merelbeke who was
worried about break-ins. The priest told reporters he
called police when he hears the bells toll in the middle
of the night. A man and woman have been arrested as sus-
pects in the attempted robbery.

SAO PAULO, Brazil - What do you do if you are a Siamese twin
and your better half really gets on your nerves? Don't try
what the late Marco de Solisa did to his late brother Roberto.
After a heated argument, Marco pulled out a revolver and shot
his brother in the head. They shared portions of the same
circulatory system and when Roberto died, Marco soon followed.

All prime examples of my theory [img]smile.gif[/img]

My theory is that fully 90% of all humans are morons

I also site as further proof..the success of the tele-psychic network!
