You're really getting good at the parody posts.... He'll be safe when everyone else is locked up. The dragnet will conveniently miss him.

Just point them here, it should distract them for a while. http://www.dhmo.org

Thanks for posting this, I'm glad someone out there can be bothered to refute all the conspiracy guff that floats around. These conspiracy arguments are based on a house of cards with many statements of 'fact' are just not established at all but non critical readers just fall for it hook line and sinker while thinking they're the ones with an open mind. Sigh. Reminds me of so much other crap out there, like faked moon landings, the Face on Mars and the Kennedy Assasination. Human nature is depressing some times.

Yea it's the new reality. They have the badges, all they are missing is a pair of jackboots and marching orders. I saw that in San Francisco on New Year's Eve one year.

No question it's fucked up. The whole danger to self & others is grade A bullshit peddled by puritanical busybodies. Some drinkers were staying in the hotel they were drinking in! When the local authorities principal justification for your arrest is saying it was to prevent a crime they assumed you'd commit in future (and that's exactly what they say in this article) you KNOW you're not living in the land of the free. Gobshite justification about statutes just masks how ludicrous this situation is, it was Hitler who sought to pass laws that made criminals out of everyone.

That is a gem of a comment considering you're suggesting they get out faster. Posting this while pointing the finger at others is revealing. A little bit of introspection might do you some good.

No, I took the pic from my local launch site.

The USPTO has been running amok for years, and the awarding of patents for discovered genetic sequences is one of their more eggregious outrages, compounded by the complete lack of understanding of how most of the sequences actually function or what they even do. This is not what was anticipated when the President, the Attorney General and the Secretary of State signed the first U.S. patent. It'll all be fixed when we make all three officers personally sign all patents before they can be awarded or enforced.

Heh, you gotta love the mind bending justification for this. http://www.nbc5i.com/news/8169246/detail.html I guess it's easy pickings if you show up in a bar, but what's the standard for being assessed as being intoxicated.

Just mention skyhook in the thread and you'll get a hit from Mr. Booth, there. Any second now....

The U.S. is reaching it's borrownig limits but of course it's still spending like a drunken sailor in a brothel. Now it's borrowing against it's own employees pension funds (to you and me that means spending the money saved in them). http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/03/07/AR2006030701736_pf.html What's that flushing noise I hear?

Ahh, I've seen the movie but didn't realize that's where it all started. It seemed like a theme even before that but then I only caught it on DVD.

Yup I agree, throw whatever appropriate charges they can at them now, but if there aren't any (I doubt there aren't for this kind of provocation) then we need some because these fucktards have no shame. No need to be cowed by the freedom of speech cannard, this is just disgusting behavior that doesn't merit protection under any guise. We can also hope for a civil action from their victims.

When would you rather have an unplanned instability for the first time? When your instructor is there at 10k or when you reach to pull on your first hop & pop at 3.5k (it happened to me)? It's not a biggie but you're maybe 10 jumps away from that and between now and they you'll be unstable many times. It may benefit you if at least once it's unplanned, high and with an AFFI there. Ultimately the guy is looking out for your long term safety and has more experience and judgement to make the call.

Then we were always in agreement on this.

I dont care what he did in the past or who he is anymore. He is a piece of shit in my mind. He took advantage of the system that he was supposed to be in for the people and turned it into what could he get out of it. I wish more of these SOB's would be walking the same line as he is now. My sentence for everybody guilty would be at least 20 years in federal pound you in the ass prison. I'm just happy he didnt have 10 years of trials and appeals. He admitted his guilt and took the punishment. If it was only that easy all the time. WOW....You believe that someone convicted of a crime like this deserves to be raped in prison for 20 years? Would you apply the same standard to a woman who was convicted of theft? Should part of her sentence be to submit to a daily raping by the guards? Would you want our lawmakers to pass laws that requires sentences for certain crimes to involve sexual assault in prison? It's actually amazing how common the phrase "Federal pound me in the ass prison" is. I just view posts like that as revealing a bit too much about the poster's prison anal rape fantasies and move on. It doesn't deserve insightful debate, and expecting a lucid response is futile.

Your last argument cuts both ways, if they break a funeral ordinance or a public order ordainance or provoke public disorder then they can be arrested can't they, it has nothing to do with impeding someone's right to free speech.

In the mean time families who've given more than most ever will for their country have to suffer the pain of everyone doing nothing in silence. Locking them up for public disorder and shedding some light on their vile bahavior and beliefs doesn't necessarily aid their cause, just as jailing fucktards doesn't have to net them good publicity.

It's debatable whether they have a *right* to do this. There's a difference between freedom of speech and victimizing a family at the funeral of a loved one. This is malicious, abhorrent antisocial behavior. If I stood outside your house at midnight with a bullhorn and yelled about some pet peeve it wouldn't simply be freedom of speech. These assholes are doing something way worse than that.

Maybe someone could send you a Betamax tape of it.

They're not rulling over peoples lives, they're setting up a community of like minded people, there's a big difference. You're free to not live there, or to drive out of town for your abortion.

We obviously need some new regulations to stop people doing stupid shit like this. I wasn't taught anything about CRW on my AFF course either, and that's something the USPA board should address. That big thought bubble he's trailing looks pretty dangerous too, there should be a rules against thinking on a jump, especially a CRW jump.

Totally off. The X-ray card is there to help explain/identify the cypres components which will be visible in the X-ray security will take of your carryon gear. The idea is that security will X-ray your rig and if they have concerns you can show them the card and perhaps save yourself a reserve repack. I wouldn't go offering the card unless they actually voice concerns. TSA/DHS allow AADs on board, you should explain this and ask for a supervisor who understands this, but they can still open your rig if they want to.

Oh, you want STATISTICS. The world's largest Islamic country, Indonesia, has a homicide rate 5 times lower than the "Christian" US. Saudi Arabia's rate is lower still. Even Yemen has a lower murder rate than the US. It's amazing the deterrent effect a swift public execution has.

They caught the guy because he lased the police helicopter that was looking for him. http://today.reuters.com/news/newsarticle.aspx?type=domesticNews&storyid=2006-02-17T204112Z_01_N17259829_RTRUKOC_0_US-SECURITY-LASER.xml&rpc=22
