I heard once - a long time ago - that if you already have detached retina then you should not skydive because you eyes could pop out. I'm not really buying it. judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Here is the follow up with a little more details. It appears the thief tried to run over the security guard. SUV theft was dead end of rocky road 18-year-old shot, killed by Jeep owner grew up without 'normal expectations' By Kevin McKenzie mckenzie@gomemphis.com October 10, 2002 A man killed Tuesday while attempting to steal a sport utility vehicle on Winchester was an 18-year-old with a history of auto theft and family tragedy. Paris A. Edwards was shot about 4:45 p.m. Tuesday by a security guard while attempting to drive away in the guard's vehicle from the Auto Connection car lot, said police spokesman Officer LaTanya Able. The Shelby County Medical Examiner's Office determined that Edwards, of 1735 Chancery No. 2, died of a gunshot wound to the chest. Police declined to identify the armed security guard. Able said the guard had left work in his 1999 Jeep Cherokee to pay on his car note at the Auto Connection. He went into the car lot office, leaving his keys in the vehicle. The guard noticed a man walking around his SUV, and hurried out of the office. After the driver of the Jeep attempted to run the guard over, the guard fired several shots, Able said. One struck the driver in his left side. The Jeep veered across the street, hitting a concrete utility pole and a fire hydrant, then flipped over, she said. Edwards was dead on arrival at the Regional Medical Center at Memphis. The District Attorney General's Office will determine whether the security guard faces prosecution. "Every case like this is reviewed on a case-by-case basis because of different circumstances in each case," said Jennifer Zunk, DA spokesman. On Wednesday, state prosecutors said they would not prosecute the owner of a North Memphis laundry, who on Saturday shot a man trying to rob the business. In that case, prosecutors ruled the shooting justifiable, saying the owner acted in defense of himself and others in the store. Within a two-week period in August, homeowners shot and killed intruders who were breaking into their houses. In both cases, prosecutors determined the homicides were justifiable. So far this year in Memphis, about 11 killings have been ruled justifiable homicides, Able said. Edwards's troubles with the law began when he was 10 years old with a vandalism complaint in Juvenile Court. By October 1998, when he was 14, Edwards was getting in serious trouble. That month he was charged with aggravated robbery, said Lieutenant Wilks Jr., deputy chief probation officer for Juvenile Court. The following month, Edwards was placed at the Shelby Training Center. In September 1999, Edwards was charged with theft of a vehicle and placed back in the training center. In February 2000, he was placed back in the custody of his mother, Brenda Wright. But in December, he was charged with theft and aggravated burglary. He went back to training school. Four months later, in April 2001, Edwards was charged with theft of property over $10,000 and evading arrest. He was committed to the state Department of Children's Services with a recommendation that he be placed in a youth development center or other facility. Edwards was released and back home last January. He was free and unsupervised as of July 31. He is the second son of Brenda Wright killed by gunfire. On Nov. 5, 2000, Carlos Wright, 14, was shot to death. He was standing with a friend on the porch of a second-story Cazassa Oaks apartment when a gunman walking with two other youths on the street below stopped and fired one shot. Jerry Busby, 51, a friend of the family, said Edwards is an example of youths who come from an environment where there is nothing but crime and poverty, violence and despair. "These kids coming from that kind of environment, they don't have a chance," said Busby, a graduate school student working on a master's degree in education. "They don't have opportunities, they are not exposed to anything that would give them hope, they can't develop in normal ways, they don't have normal expectations," he said.

This happened yesterday. Memphis, TN - One man has killed, one has been killed. All of it for a car. Samuel Williams saw it unfold. "When I heard the gunshots I ducked. I didn't want no stray bullets hitting me. I was directly across from it." 'It' is a used car dealership. Williams says it started when a man stopped to make a payment. A thief jumped in the man's car and drove off. The owner of the car is an off-duty security guard. He pulled his .40 caliber Smith and Wesson pistol and started shooting. "He (the thief) sped away and I thought he was going to get away cause he was driving pretty straight. All of a sudden he took a turn and hit the light pole," says Williams. The thief hit a light pole and a fire hydrant before the car rolled over. The unidentified man who took the car was dead. Police say - one bullet found its mark. But police can't say if the shot or the accident killed him. They also can't say if the shooter is in trouble. "It would have to be a ruling by the AG's office and maybe a grand jury.. but we won't know until we put everything together," says Capt. R.D. Roleson. While the police are investigating this shooting, people on the street are talking. They're talking about whether or not the guard went too far or if the thief got what he deserved. "I don't have any sympathy for him but I don't think you should be shot if you steal a car. He might have been young. We have a lot of stupidity around here but it's not worth losing a life for," says Chris Hunter. Will the shooter lose his freedom too? The police will give the case to the Attorney General's office in the morning. Then it will be up to them to decide to prosecute or not. In the meantime, police have not released the shooter nor the thief's identity . Do you think charges should be brought against the shooter?

We require a tandem first where I jump now, which is a very good idea. We had an AFF student who had done about 5 or so static line jumps some years ago so we let him do AFF. On level 1 he decided the skydive was over at 10,000 ft and dumped. When he landed he said the freefall freaked him out. He was doing well in the sky. He did his COA, 3 practice touches and we thought he was going for a 4th but just pulled. My first jump was an AFF Level 1. I'm pretty sure I had my eyes closed for a good portion of the skydive. I should have done a tandem first. Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Workers can "organize". They just shouldn't have to pay for it and shouldn't be bullied into striking. If you don't like your job - quit. Dont' inconvenient the rest of us. I'm still very very bitter about the NWA pilot strike - they, of course, prevented me from getting to Couch Freaks until 2:00 a.m. The only time those lazy bums would actually picket, was when the media showed up.

I made my first jump, which was AFF Level 1, because I watched the movie Dropzone way too much and my 10yr class reunion was coming up and I felt I had not done anything exciting with my life. I actually hated my first jump at first, but a friend of mine that also jumped had such a great time I thought I would try it just one more time. Made level 2 and was hooked. Now, 7 years later, I'm still jumping. It was the best life changing experience of my life. I made my first jump on a Sunday and told my husband (now ex) I was moving out on Tuesday. The dropzone became my happy place and I think I found out what true happiness is. Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
