This is what we need in the Whitehouse. Someone who will tell the media the truth. The media’s job is to report not make news. End of Story.

The real solution is to have a Federal law that would allow local elected officials who fail to plan adequately or execute their plan effectively to be charged under Federal law with criminal civil rights violations.
After all if, by their inaction, they did deprive someone of their “life” much less liberty or pursuit of happiness should they not be as criminally responsible as the white collar criminals of the major corporations?
I say stop letting them hide behind excuses. If the Federal government can try executives of large corporations they should also be able to do the same of local officials when they have failed the people who relied on them.
More facts continue to emerge surrounding this incident. It was reported by 13 WMAZ News that the burgler was released from the Bibb county jail just the day before. He was staying less than a block from the home he entered. We still don’t know if the home resident will be charged.
It seems to be a rather silly delay. If there are facts that support a charge let’s have them. It does no one a service to delay the decision. If there are facts charge him if not say so.

I think the letter to the editor suggesting a year long cruise is not a bad idea.

I note some indication that this guy had a history of crime. I really don’t see the question here. The guy broke in and appears to have confronted the home owner. What’s to investigate? If he had remained outside he would still be alive. I am reminded of the old Barretta line “don’t do the crime if ya can’t do the time”.
One would hope that a law student would have minimal knowledge of the law surrounding use of deadly force.
I have on a number of occasions noted a disturbing trend in the McDonald’s chain to set their store clocks forward 10 to 15 minutes. Apparently this is done to let them end breakfast before the lunch rush. Recently on a Sunday morning I went to the local McDonald’s located in the Zebulon road Wal-Mart for breakfast. I arrived at 10:15 by my watch and the clock in my cellphone. I was rudely informed by the individual who identified herself as the manager that breakfast was over. I told her the clock was wrong and she stated she did not care what time I had she went by “McDonald’s Time”.
I noted that none of the employees was wearing identification and this individual refused to give me her name or to provide me with the name of the store manager. She reluctantly gave me a number to “Mac Attack” who she said owned the store. The number was “not in service”.
I contrast this with the Chick Fil-A restaurant across the street. On the wall in plain view is an Atomic clock that maintains its time according to the US Bureau of Standards in Boulder Colorado. I also note the presence of legible name tags and smiles along with a cheerful “my pleasure or our pleasure” to a customers request.
Any guess where I will be eating?
I guess McDonalds has forgotten rule #1 of customer service.
