Believe It...Or Else...
Heartland weather...gotta love it, right?
It's snowing one day, then the temperatures jump to near FIFTY DEGREES the following day...with thunderstorms, and then back down below freezing the day after that...talk about weird.
At least there is ONE saving grace to all this - the weather is about as unstable as most of the locals around here (and the locals are a bit more predictable with certainty).
It must be so great to be a weather-person out here...imagine getting PAID to be WRONG at least 50% of the time, and guessing on the other fifty. Face it, even computer "models" can be wrong...mother nature is funny that way.
But enough about that. Let's get cracking and see what's been shaking out there in the (un) real world.
*** Item - A fetus was found at the Fort Wayne storm sewer facility.
Here's the story link:

(warning - put down the breakfast while reading)
Now, this is not being considered a homicide...yet.
Examinations to determine the COD are forthcoming, and will be released to the press when available.
If any criminal intent is found, then we can go with homicide.
It would not surprise me if some boyfriend kicked his "significant other", causing the miscarriage. A lot of "boyfriends" see abuse to a pregnant woman a way to prove one's manhood...(morons).
Such cases have been documented before, and those "manly" men soon become prison bitches (and rightly so).
*** Item - A volunteer worker at a FWCS school is dismissed.
Here's the story link (with video of the perp):

Now, the priors for Damion L. Jackson end in 2006 with a driving violation, but that MJ bust was in 2003, and SHOULD have sent a red flag up somewhere. I mean he IS working with teens in high school. And yet, he got past TWO background checks.
I suppose we're no longer holding people's pasts against them...good for us...bad for the kids when someone like this is charged with "inappropriate behavior" with one of those teens at the high school.
And MAY-BE that's why we can even hire on FWPD officers with a background that might include cocaine use.
I'm just sayin'...
We USED to call it "holding to HIGHER standards"...for a reason.
*** Item - A loaded gun as found at a MIDDLE SCHOOL in Fort Wayne.
Here's the story link:
http://www.indianasnewscenter.com/news/local/Fully-Loaded-Gun-Found-In-Middle-School-Restroom-137931043.html
Interesting that the gun was brought with the INTENTION of being SOLD...right after a fight...curious, is it not?
At least these three l'il perps will get a taste of what to expect if they continue down the road they're currently on.
Seems that crime is finding it's way into lower and lower grades these days...wonder why that IS?
I'm sure glad it's NOT due to the breakdown of traditional family values, the lack of societal mores, or the loss and neglect of civility, integrity and personal responsibility...right?
*** Item - Apartment fire triggered by lightning.
Here's the story:
http://www.journalgazette.net/article/20120124/LOCAL07/301249934/1002/LOCAL
The Autumn creek blaze seems to have been caused by a lightning strike, according to FWFD investigators (thank God no one fell asleep while cooking, or left something UNATTENDED on a stove the way SOME people do).
It was the fast thinking (and 911 dialing) by residents that fire fighters claim resulted in less damage and no injuries.
Why not just come out and say it was the QUALITY of the people living there...and be done with it, hmm?
Better people - better living conditions...simple as that.
*** Item - Be careful WHERE you hide stuff...
Here's the story:
http://www.journalgazette.net/article/20120124/LOCAL07/301249933/1002/LOCAL
Now, Clifford "Kenny" White (how the hell do you get KENNY from CLIFFORD, anyway?) has this "thing" about trying to keep his cocaine stash from the po-po...trouble is, the police are often several steps AHEAD of the curve.
It's not rocket science...it's really ALIMENTARY.
And you have to remember that all investigation rooms are MONITORED (by video), so if you want to poke at your ass (for some odd reason), someone WILL be watching...and taking notes.
Now to me, nothing says "busted" like farting out 45.9 grams of cocaine, which is what "Kenny" eventually wound up doing.
I'm sorry, but there are CERTAIN parts of the human body that have only ONE function - that being EITHER and ENTRANCE or an EXIT.
But not BOTH...and not for the purpose of Kenny's "desires".
With few exceptions (like specific medical procedures), there are NO 2-way streets in our anatomy.
(bet'cha Mr. White also likes to go IN through the OUT door at stores, too)
We know what the BRAIN looks like on drugs...no one ever has shown what the ASS looks like. (aside from a picture of Kenny in some mugshot book)
BTW, he's got a really nice LONG rap sheet (and before you ask...YES, he is black) with a LOT of controlled substance dealing as well as traffic violations out the ass (along with those grams of coke...lol)
And he currently lists his address as 405. E. Creighton Av.
His middle name is listed as KENNEDY (hence the "Kenny")
OMG...they caught KENNY...you BASTARDS!
*** Item - New charter school hits snag.
Here's the story:
http://www.journalgazette.net/article/20120124/LOCAL04/301249975
Now the school is named after Justice Thurgood Marshall...a nice thing.
BUT, the "theme" of the school is...(...wait for it...)...
SOCIAL JUSTICE.
(who knew?)
This is very disturbing, when you think about it.
Social justice was something that Karl Marx really climbed in bed with...and caused millions to die as a result of communism.
But don't just take my word on it...check these links out that tell the TRUTH about "social justice"...like THIS wonderful article by (one of my favorite people) Walter Williams:
http://www.theatlasphere.com/columns/101020-williams-leftists-progressives.php
Or this one:
http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/guides/Z-Social%20Justice-Code%20for%20Communism.htm
(lengthy, but definitely worth the read)
On how about THIS one:
http://libertarianchristians.com/2011/09/08/whats-wrong-with-social-justice/
And finally, THIS one:
http://michellemalkin.com/2010/04/16/when-social-justice-is-a-code-phrase/
That should get every one of you back on track if you thought that social justice was a "good" thing...because it isn't.
*** Lastly today, according to the Chinese calendar, we are now officially in the YEAR OF THE DRAGON.
