Torch Me? Torch You!

Cars Torched in Riverview. Click here to read about it.

I have to say, this is utterly fascinating. We know that there are a lot of junkies in Moncton--but in Riverview? I thought it was the most serene place to live.

Imagine waking up to go to work--only to find out the new paint job on your car is "Charred Black"

I honestly believe it was stupid little kids--but why would they, or anyone want to burn the cars I don't know. Police say the some cars are a write-off.

WHY would people want to do that?

Sometimes, I think this town is doomed forever!

Honk For Peace...bitch!

Protesting the Lebanese Israel conflict. click here to read about it.

Ok. My first question is who the heck knew there was a Lebanese community in Moncton?

Almost unheard of.

Anyway. So a little over 100 protesters--or peace activists--came out to show their support. I was quite surprised. They had quite a rally. There wasn't much of chanting and what not. But there was singing---bad singing.

One thing that caught my attention was a handful of the protesters standing on the sidewalk screaming "honk for peace!"--and people honked. What was funny though was that they were screaming this phrase out---but no one bothered to actually write it out. So they were screaming at cars with open windows--and people couldn't hear them. Great idea guys.

I was surprised that the media had such a poor showing. A couple of radio stations, and Radio-Canada television. Ofcourse Greg Agnew from the T&T was there--but no one else. It was weird. Even in radio. CBC was there, because they're there for anything and everything, and I saw a News 91.9 mic around...no Magic, or C103.

All in all--good protest, and they made a clear point!

Shhh...It's the "C" Word.

I'm sorry it's so vulgar. BUT...I was Wikipedia-ing the F word to see where it came from (which was no help, by the way) And I came across the "C" word.

I don't know about you...but the C word, I think, is worse than the F word. Why?, because it takes a real asshole for anyone to use that word. It's reserved for the best and the brightest of the worst. I've only used it a few times, on fewer people--and the disguting faces around me!

Anyway, so I started reading up about the C-word (again, not ver helpful)...and Wiki had the link to this fascinating site.

Teacher, I brought you an apple.

OK.

We're starting off with Chris Cassidy.

==========================

We all know what Mr. Cassidy did. Well now the lawyers want to find out exactly what's going on.

Apparently a juror called up a court official, and during that convo said something that could put the verdict in jepordy. So now the lawyers are going down this LONG winding road trying to determins if something actually happened. And if something might have tainted the verdict.

It's so sketchy. The court listened to the audio of the five minutes when the jury read the verdict. Then the judge asked the lawyer if he wanted to poll the jury to see if they all agreed with the verdict. So the judge starts asking the jurors. out of 12 jurors...11 say "yes" I agree with the verdict.

Here's the convo between the judge and one juror.

Judge: "Juror, do you agree with the verdict?"

Juror: "mhmh" (mumbles)

Judge: "I'm sorry? Juror, do you agree with the verdict?"

Juror: (A disgruntled) "Yes"

What a cop-out. What's the point of a jury system, if the jurors can't even speak up if they're dissatisfied with a verdict?

You know---all this wouldn't have happened if the guy would have just hired James Letcher as his lawyer. Cassidy would have been smoking cigars with the Mayor of Shediac, with Renee Gaudet sitting on his lap, all having a good laugh. Not to mention Allain Heon would be playing his security guard!

I've been inspired by a few people on Blogspot who've been chatting about the news you can use in New Brunswick.

My point is to give out the news I this is relevant in this province...and let's see where we go with this.

It might not be everyday...but we'll still see none the less!
