Trench Reynolds: DBKP This Week in Crime April 6-12

April 6-12, 2008


I'm Trench Reynolds.

I blog about crime.


This is the DBKP Week in Crime for April 6th-12th, 2008

At craigscrimelist the story of the week was about what can happen when you order an 'escort' from carigslist. It can get you shot in the face.

Over at CrimeNe.ws my favorite post of the week was a column from Michael Smerconish who pints out that the Pennsylvania death penalty is a sham.

At News of Doom I Posted the story about the 2-year-old from Pennsylvania who was beaten to death with a video game controller. I focused less on the controller and more on the aabuser.

Florida is still on top.

At MyCrimeSpace the subject of the week was mainly about the 8 teens from Florida who recorded themselves beating another girl in order to post it to YouTube and MySpace. It gets even better with responses from one of the mothers and qa bailing out by Dr. Phil.

At Psycho for Love I posted about a teacher who tried to marry an underage student. But since the teacher was male he'll probably get the death penalty.

Speaking of double standards at ViceTube I posted about a beating that you'll probably never hear about.

That's it for this week. Until next time I'm Trench Reynolds.

Immigration: Law Non-Enforcement Leads to Non-Compliance

Two protests:
The two pictures above are from protest marches by La Raza (The Race) and feature countless illegal aliens. The photo below, is a protest about those breaking the law and their government's abject failure to enforce those law.



Queston: Which protest will get labeled as "racist"?

Which brings us to this week's Bloggers4Borders video.

100% Preventable! Americans continue to pay the bloody price for open borders. When will the madness end?

100% Preventable follow up: One family faces the crushing grief caused by open borders and lax enforcement.

When a nation's authorities selectively enforce the laws, they shouldn't be surprised when their citizens selectively obey them.
