Good job Mr. Savino. I may not agree with your view on this one, but I respect this honesty more then the others.

I remember this very well. I saw the crash, I was the first on site. There was no other car. The fence was not in the road, the airplane dragged it completely into the parking lot. So if there was a car accident(s), it happened after I left; 15 minutes after the crash, and in the parking lot.

There was more then one person on the plane. It was at least man and a woman. Possibly more.

No fault of you Coleman; It's just interesting how the story is different then what really happened.

In response to: You Could Be The Next Poker MILLIONAIRE
Off shore bookies are ok. The poker is generally a bad idea. too many cheaters (mulitple seats, one person at tables) and community card rats.

http://www.railbirds.com/ these people have private chats to rat out what cards they folded during a round.

In response to: Pistol-packin’ Peter hoisted by his own petard
Peter,

Last comment. Getting brutal here, and I have too much respect for you for me to stay in this thread.

In this state, if you just have an FID, it is illegal to own a handgun. You need a LTC A or B.

It is also illegal to own an AR15, in the state of MA, with a Magazine that holds more then 10 rounds. 95% of AR magazines are more then 10 rounds. Unless you have a LTC A (high capacity license).

The AWB (assault weapons ban) is still in effect in MA. This could be another charge if the AR15 has a certain combination of things (collapsible stock, pistol grip, flash suppressor, bayonet, grenade launcher, etc..)

All firearms have to be registered in his name unless it was purchased a long time ago.

If his LTC (Permit to carry) was taken away, there could be MANY charges here. However, these things happen frequently and get thrown out with little or not punishment.

I will bet money on this. :) Call me.

In response to: Pistol-packin’ Peter hoisted by his own petard
That's why ASSUME is in caps.

The LEO has every right to take his LTC for any reason he sees fit. He probably did not take his FID because he knew he owns rifles. In the case of a restraining order you get the firearms back afterwards. I just can't think of any other scenario.

But yes, a handgun and rifles that can hold high capacity magazines.... However, i never see these charges stick in MA unless there is another real major crime being charged.

In response to: Pistol-packin’ Peter hoisted by his own petard
Good points, we will see what happens. Nice comment from the video blog on the times site from Peter M.

I still say nothing happens. It was not stolen, so everything you say is a "What if scenario".

If he got his license revoked, i am ASSUMING that it would be from a restraining order.

In response to: Pistol-packin’ Peter hoisted by his own petard
Peter,

Different States have different laws. This state is more extreme then others. The man had a alarm installed in his house that prevented the theft.

I am not justifying his actions. i am just saying he will probably get away.

As far as loosing his license, he may not of bothered to renew it.

Peter, nothing is going to happen. You know that. These charges only stick if there is something major he did wrong.

In response to: Horrible, Heinous Huckabee
Not Bad. You danced around the topic, made a terrible analogy, and lied to the reader. The article takes advantage of half of the readers. If you are of average intelligence, 50% of everyone you meet is dumber then you. this article targets that audience.

-"cleanse" who said that?

-"mother of a child who died of AIDS " Read up on that a little more. The truth is horrendous, and has nothing to do with Huckabee.

-"Studies have proven that, unlike AIDS, obesity is contagious." What?!?

I am not defending this guy. But the facts in this article are atrocious to say the least.

I am pro research, but stem cell research is a hundred of years from being understood. How do I know, ask a researcher that question, and he/she will give you that answer. Stem cell research will not help you in this life.

Where else are people going to shoot? Its dangerous to own a firearm and not be able to fire it. People who are afraid of guns need realize they need to approve this for the safety of firearms owners.

In response to: Bush- More dangerous when there's nothing left to lose
Look at Ed Brown in NH. He was pardoned by the Duke in MA, so now he has firearms. This nut job is going to kill and/or hurt people. Miss use of a pardon.

I am glad Scooter is going free. He is not going to kill or hurt people, and he will not have a chance to repeat his offenses. Also, Richard Armitage is the source. Good use of a Pardon.

I am glad the "mentally ill and challenged" (as you put it) are put to death for murder. No Pardon. A killer is a killer.

I am sad Paris did not get more time in jail. Poor people that need to go to work and drive a car illegally get busted and loose everything. The same thing should of happened to her.

Simple and easy to understand.

Maybe Howie is right? No that I am trying to defend this shock jock, but he's always trying to expose corrupt MA officials. Just keep and eye on Brian Wallace, I would not be surpised to see him in a nice desk job working for the state.

Don't know if I can make it to Brewster. Got too much work to catch up on. Basically we landed in Vienna and spent most of the time in BRNO. Food and drink was great. (beer .75 cents). Hired a translator and just went all over town and north to Pardubický kraj and tasted wine through the South Moravian Region. Even met a Russian Pub owner and I explained how I was told during the 70's and 80's I would never vaction there, just to fight. Great two weeks of our lives.

Here is a tacky video I made of some of the stuff we did.

Went to BRNO Vienna and a ton of small villages in Czech and Slovakia.

Maverick, I don't know cause I really don't care. I am sure runoff is worse. Just making observations over sewage.

People dump sewage in the ocean. Its part of life.

And don't knock asbestose. That stuff is awesome!

mud and texture coats
vinyl floor tiles, sheeting, adhesives
roofing tars, felts, siding, and shingles
"transite" panels, siding, countertops, and pipes
fireproofing
caulk
gaskets
brake pads and shoes
clutch plates
stage curtains
fire blankets
interior fire doors
fireproof clothing for firefighters
thermal pipe insulation

In response to: E.coli exposes feces-faced NIMBYS!
uninformed opinion. Just by simply being a previous boat owner and being out on boats all my life. We have all seen ship collisions or groundings, overfilling of gas tanks and bilge pumping from ships. Look at the trail behind any boat, the layer of gas on the surface.

I am not saying this a a bad thing, but I would rather drink watered down sewage then watered down gas.

Its sewage, that does very little impact.

What about gas from exhaust, and oil from all the boats. That does a lot more damage.

In response to: Gun Control
"if everyone packed heat, this could have been stopped"

Yes, the body count would of been MUCH much lower. We use guns to protect ourselves.

Why is the 2nd amendment there in the first place? To protect us from the government. We used them to free ourselves from an oppressive one. Guns are in our society, and will always be. That's why senseless assault weapons bans, gun buy back programs, gun buy limits, handgun restrictions, (etc) are failures. Criminals have the guns that are used to hurt people, not honest citizens. Punish them. This man was a non-us citizen, and he was not legally permitted to use the 2nd amendment in his purchase.

In response to: Lancaster murder and mitigating factors
I really hope she goes free. I always knew her as a wonderful person. She will not do it again, and she will be paying emotionally and socially for the rest of her life.

However, her defense is risky. If she wins at trial, she gets out of jail time. If she loses, she will spend most of time in jail. And the photo does not prove self defense. She said that happened the day before. So does an abusive husband deserve death by a bullet in the stomach?

I disagree. I must say that I like gambling, but I think it belongs in Vegas only. A casino would destroy the beauty of Cape Cod, in the name of reparations.

A good bombing run? Yep
If you cannot obey the law, then off with your head? Yep

OK maybe extreme, but not noise. Maybe they are not producing the right answers to our problems, but look at liberal radio.

Air America is bankrupt because they spew worse hatred from the other side, and produce no answers. At least conservative radio is trying to present answers.
