Here's something you might be interested in.
So many interesting things on the news today. Well, interesting to me.
I was on the phone and heard there was a shark attack in Hawaii. The guy had a chunk taken out of his thigh. He was in the hospital, talking about how it latched onto his leg, and he used his hands to pry the thing off.
The best part of the story is when he said it would be a long time until he goes in the water again. I've always wanted to hear that. Usually those surfers say "Oh, I'll be back in the water next week. Yeah, I just got 843 stitches, but sharks don't want to hurt you. They are just seeing if you're food. They find out you're not, and move on." Yeah, right. Maybe if they take a chunk of thigh meat, they might acquire the taste.
I then see in the paper, that some guy in the Gaslamp Quarter got into a fight with other guys. He had alcohol in his system. The cops show up, tell everyone to get on the ground. He runs. The police tackle him. That causes him to hit his head on the pavement, and does some brain damage. He has two surgeries. He's in a wheelchair for a few months. And, a jury here decides he should get $11 million for that.
The moral of that news clip is...don't listen to cops, and possibly sue. It could be a wind fall for ya.
I've already said our jury system needs to be revamped, and if that isn't proof, try these two other stories.
A teacher has an affair with her 18 year old student. The husband gets mad, steals his parents gun, kills the kid. He will probably only do 2 to 4 years in prison, because the jury bought his story that he just wanted to kill himself, and then decided he'd scare the kid and the gun "just went off."
If you just want to "scare" the kid, why is the gun loaded? Why was a trigger even pulled? I'm sure you can do plenty good scaring, just by sticking the unloaded gun in his face.
And, why stick it in his face? Maybe your wife, the cheater, before the kid. Not that that is right, but at least it makes a bit more sense.
Lastly, O.J. Simpson. Good ol' juice.
I heard on some talk radio station, the various clips of the questions potential jurors had to endure. Things like "Do you listen to the Rush Limbaugh show?" How idiotic a question is that?
One guy wrote on his form, that he didn't support the ACLU. They spent five minutes asking why he wrote "No!!!" They didn't like the three question marks, and asked a bunch of follow up questions as to why he did that.
They asked if they thought O.J. was guilty of murder. And, I just wish one of them would've had the balls to say "Uh, we all do, don't we?" Just to make Simpsons lawyer say "Well, no." And then you can start questioning him. You could even say "You must not be very intelligent then, because all the evidence pointed towards him."
Later in the day, on a different show, I heard they got a jury. It amazed me. It really did. I thought they'd want 12 people that had never heard of O.J. or even heard of what it means to murder another human being.
Now O.J.'s lawyers are mad that it's 10 whites, and only 2 blacks.
Yet, when it was 10 blacks and 2 whites, O.J. was found "not guilty."
Maybe Simpson's lawyers should shut up, stop playing the race card like every African-American accused of something does...and just do some jail time.
