====via: prothink.org trayvon martin/george zimmerman saga continues
we havent been really paying too much attention to the trayvon martin shooting incident other than to note how it appears that "the media" and others, seem to be using it in some desperate attempt to get a race war going.
lately, there's been some controversy over police surveillance cam footage of zimmerman's arrival at the police station and how it doesnt appear to show him with any injuries, such as zimmerman's claim to having been in a struggle with martin which resulted in wounds to the back of his head and nose.
however, a reading of the initial police report, shows that the policeman, timothy smith, wrote (.pdf page 3) that"while i was in such close contact with zimmerman, i could observe that his back appeared to be wet and was covered in grass, as if he had been laying on his back on the ground.
so it seems likely that the fire department personnel cleaned up zimmerman's wounds and probably dusted potentially infectious causing matter like grass clippings and dirt off his clothing and that's probably why no visual evidence of them like blood, arent readily apparent in the grainy low-quality surveillance video.
zimmerman was also bleeding from the nose and back of his head.
shortly after securing zimmerman, officer ricardo ayala arrived on the scene. i advised officer ayala that i had not made contact with the black male subject laying on the ground. i observed officer ayala make contact with the subject and attempt to get a response, but was met with negative results. shortly after this, other officers began to arrive on scene along with sfd [sanford fire department] rescue 38 who began to give aid to the subject laying on the ground.
zimmerman was placed in the rear of my police vehicle and was given first aid by sfd. while the sfd was attending to zimmerman, i over heard him state 'i was yelling for someone to help me, but no one would help me.' at no point did i question zimmerman about the incident that had taken place. once zimmerman was cleared by the sfd, he was transported to the sanford police department."

a youtube commenter, yankeerhoad, on this video's watch page says that this is the best lyrics video that he has ever seen and we pretty much have to agree.
the uploader, exactimages, says that he knows that he mispelt "deuce" and possibly got some other lyrics wrong such as "she got down but she never got tired" - tired instead of "tight."
it must be woodpecker week around here.
the cornell lab of ornithology shows that louisiana is in the year round range of the red-headed woodpecker. however, we cant recall within recent memory of seeing one around here.
we wish that these were higher quality snaps. the red-headed woodpecker is an extremely handsome bird. they were taken on the fly and as you can tell through a very dirty window. the only reason that our cam was within reach was because we had just completed uploading a couple of mourning dove vids.

what's interesting to note is how santorum has war on his brain instead of say, "entitlement or welfare or giveaway program or stimulus ... government ..."
war, war, war. going to war -- for israel -- is all that the republicans and most democrats can think about.
around 6:30 pm cdt on monday, 26 march 2012, we received another phone call from congressman rodney alexander.
fortunately, his office has -- at least this time, modified their caller id, call display information so that when "congressman rod" with an area code 318 number popped up on our caller id display, we pretty much knew that the call was either another one of his "live telephone town hall meetings" (we prefer the phrase telephonic town hall) or a political robo call, either one potentially blog-worthy. so we switched on our recording device.
"i even read an article today, not sure where it came from, i need to go back and check and see, that indicated that perhaps there is a very wealthy individual in the nation that is buying some of the firearms companies with the sole purpose of cutting back and restricting sales to individuals.while we continue to oppose any and all forms of gun control or bullet control and believe that the citizenry should and must have access to the same firepower that the military and police has (or else what's the point of being armed?) our view of the second amendment and the right wing gun nuts is evolving.
just limit the sales of the firearms companies to the government, police force or the military, so forth.
i dont know whether there is any validity to that or not -- but we do know that there are people out there including the administration that would like to see fewer firearms available to law-abiding citizens and i think it's clear that our forefathers and the founding document -- the constitution, clearly indicated that they felt like one should always continue to have the right to bear arms.
so, i'm there. i've got my lifetime nra card in my wallet right now and wont do anything, will not vote for any measure that dilutes the strength of the second amendment."
Conservatives are not "tough on crime"one instance in which we disagree with mr. hufschmid's analysis is that the reason american's do nothing about crime and especially corruption, is because they are psychologically disarmed.
The conservatives boast that they are honest people who are "tough on crime", but they are only tough on crimes that other people commit, especially people of other nations or races.
They are extremely lenient on the crimes that conservatives commit, such as financial fraud, pedophilia, price-fixing, and cheating on taxes.
Barney Frank was elected to Congress by liberals, so we cannot blame conservatives for that. However, an orphan boy testified in court that Frank was just one of many men in leadership positions who were raping orphan boys, but as far as I know, not one conservative proposed that the conservatives take their guns to Congress and arrest Barney Frank and all of the other pedophiles.
Why are the conservatives so tough on black people who smoke marijuana or use cocaine, but they don't do anything about the pedophiles in the government or the Catholic Church?
Incidentally, the issue of Barney Frank and pedophilia should be used as more evidence of how worthless it is to let citizens own guns.
There are millions of conservatives in America with guns, but when are they going to use them?
Crime is rampant in this nation, and corruption is everywhere in government, schools, businesses, and churches.
Larry Silverstein is still walking around freely in New York City.
When are the conservatives going to get together and use their guns to eliminate crime?
The answer is, never.
The conservatives are not interested in standing up to criminals, eliminating government corruption, or analyzing world events.
They want guns for defensive purposes only.
They are like a frightened animal that is hiding in the bushes.
They do not even have the courage to face Barney Frank.
Kay Griggs claimed that Henry Kissinger raped some American soldiers, but what do the conservatives do about that accusation? Nothing!
this is an interesting case in which pineville, la. businessman james bowlin is suing russell taylor, the city of pineville, the pineville chief of police and possibly others, for defamation and invasion of privacy.
