"Nazi" Town

There's a big ruckus going on in a teenie little Arizona town where the local police got a bit out of hand and are now running for cover:

The Arizona town that's become a YouTube sensation for its police department hauling away a woman speaking at a town-hall meeting allegedly declared a state of emergency this afternoon, leaving many local residents in fear of what officers dressed in full riot gear might do.

The putz that started it all was Local Councilman Joe Winslow, who decided that a citizen didn't have the right to speak at a public meeting. The Mayor disagreed.

The below photo is of Mr. "silence-the-opposition" himself.




I'm not posting the photo because this guy deserves it in any way. What I'm curious about is the flag he is standing in front of.

What, who or where does that flag/banner/sign represent?

"A Lying, No Good Slut"



"But not a killer".

Wowzers.

During the summation being made by the defense in the Casey Anthony trial, the defense attorney made a statement to the jury in which he said "Casey Anthony may be a lying, no good slut", but not a killer.

I almost fell out of my chair. It's hard to imagine the defense vocalizing such a statement and putting it into the collective heads of the jury, particularly at the very end of the the trial.

"Lying, no good slut" will echo through the jurors heads while they deliberate, but the tag line "but not a killer" will be lost.

It may have been a defense maneuver to have a mistrial declared at a future date.

Addendum;

The verdict is in, and the jury agreed with the defense attorney... A lying no good slut, but not a murderer.
