Lies and Trickery Used To Catch Bad Guys
1999-06-29 17:54:12
That'll teach you to dodge jury duty and then try to better yourself! Police in Boston set up this crazy fake job fair to "lure" bad guys (bad guys being those charged with everything from home invasion and aggravated assault to welfare fraud and dodging jury duty) into the Bayside Exposition Center, where cops were waiting to arrest them like fish in a barrel.
According to APBNews.com some of the sorry saps were "so eager to attend the fair that they arrived as early as 7:30 a.m," responding to offers of construction jobs. Cops dismissed the idea that, just possibly, people were "so eager" because they saw a chance to better themselves by claiming that "many of the participants probably just wanted to get a job so they could steal from their employers." You know how those jury-duty dodgers can be-- can't trust them for a second!

Place the Lighter on the Ground and Let Us See Your Hands
So I have been thinking on this whole flag burning issue and all the things it could imply. Now a lot of people right now are saying that there are more important issues at stake and something so trivial is a waste of time. Believing such is really losing sight of some very key changes happening in our nation right now. Being a strict conservative, and currently serving in Iraq, I was surprised to find that I am actually appalled that the House approved a ban on flag burning. (More...)
