Mother of the year award

By see-dubya  •  August 1, 2008 01:43 PM

Here’s a winner for you:

A Long Beach mother of eight who drew national media attention after she was caught selling heroin with her two youngest kids in tow was sentenced to three years in state prison on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, here’s an alarming story about British law enforcement:

A man who was found with his head severed by a chainsaw was fighting to stay in a block of 70 flats in Hampshire cleared for redevelopment….

His body was found by police on 5 July, who said his death was not suspicious. Post-mortem tests showed he died of a “complete transection of the neck”. …

“There’s nothing suspicious about the death. It was in his flat on Bodmin Road.

“The place is all due to be redeveloped. He was the last resident left there. He lived there alone.”

A Hampshire Constabulary spokeswoman confirmed his death was not suspicious.

Note that I called this “alarming”, not “surprising”. I’ve lived in Britain and have a story about law enforcement there I’ll tell you sometime.

    From the heroin mother story. I just had a feeling ….

    Cardona’s seven minor children have been in the care of the Department of Children and Family Services since her June arrest, Hight said.

    And Cardona’s legal troubles do not end with her prison term, he added.

    The 36-year-old’s status as a legal resident of the U.S. is now under investigation by federal authorities. If she is found to be in the country illegally she faces the possibility of deportation once her prison term is served.

    Ho hum. I’ve noticed that whenever these sorts of stories surface, nine times out of ten there’s an illegal alien involved.

    And the US taxpayer gets seven more useless mouths to feed.

    I “hope” they meant that the fact he died from having his head removed with a chainsaw is not “suspicious” because it is not normal for chainsaws to spring into action and randomly chop off peoples heads as a normal course. Unless you are smoking from LGM’s stash of course.

    A person trying to commit suicide by chainsaw isn’t that far fetched. I have a friend who worked in the ER in Phoenix and a man was brought in with a chainsaw wound to his neck. He didn’t succeed in completely decapitating himself, but he did enough damage to bleed to death.

    She told me what the wound looked like and it wasn’t pretty. But of course to a first year resident in the ER, it was cool!

    Anyways, some people commit suicide by wood chipper machine too. Had a friend, who is a cop, pull one guy out of a wood chipper after he tried to take his girlfriend (who had just broken up with him) with him in the chipper. Luckily, she escaped his grasp….but, alas, he succeeded in killing himself.

    yuck.

    As soon as she gets out of prison she can head to the nearest church (being reformed and all) seeking sanctuary. Then they can splash her kids all over the place about how she would be forced to leave them in America since they’re U.S. citizens, aka anchor babies. Maybe write a book and a movie, go on a speaking tour with La Raza, and get arrested for being dumb/arrogant enough to leave the church. Oh wait, we’ve already seen that movie.

    And I can’t even wrap my brain around a decapitation by a rogue chainsaw not being suspicious.

    There are a lot of non suspicious incidents going on lately. This chainsaw beheading, what, that happens all the time, he probably just got done watching the texas chainsaw massacre. We have the beheading of the young man on the greyhound bus who was also sampled by his killer, took a couple of bites while he was at it. Again, happens all the time nothing suspicious there.

    And how about the mystery man in Wisconsin who was lurking in the bushes in camouflage that shot and killed the three young swimmers? Hmm, where have I seen that before, seems like they caught a guy creeping around a park in similar fashion but he was labeled insane, I think. There’s a lot of insanity going around these days as a matter of fact I’m starting to think that something or someone out there is driving more than a tiny minority of people insane, wonder what it might be? Our young people are under attack, that’s what I see anyway, you see any of these crazies trying to hurt one of ours, stomp em like a bug.

Now if you were a citizen they would take your license, garnish your wages, and put your kids in hell err foster care. Isn’t this the deadbeat dem foreclosure specialist’s district? Well now we know who’s electing these people, at least she won’t be voting this November, I think. Oh and if we had national healthcare you would be denied treatment but she’d get it, her lawya would make sure of it.

    This is the perfect example of utter stupidity. She should be deported REGARDLESS if she is here illegally. She is a resident alien, at best, from what I gather. Which means she should have that status stripped and thrown out of the country with her 8 illigitimate (sp?) children. She is the poster child for my biggest complaint about our immigration system. Namely, there is no selection criteria for entry into the US any longer. Something like, oh say, she actually may provide BENEFIT to the country or its citizens in some way. A country can stand many things, but sutpidity and incompetence will eventually bring it down.

    We had a patient on suicide watch who the sitter allowed to take her purse (the patients) into the bathroom with her. After about 10 minutes the nurse came in and asked where the patient was. Checking the bathroom the nurse found a large pool of blood spooling out from the patient. She had stabbed herself 17 times. That was also here in Phoenix.

    That wood chipper suicide was the second here in Phoenix in a two week period.

    Glad I don’t line in CA but it won’t be long before 75% of the states will be in the same position. As a country we have lost all ability to reason and use logic. Emotions, PC, and white guilt drive all actions now. That is a dangerous cocktail that will lead us into the depths of socialism/totalitarianism. I just don’t understand why more can’t see this fiasco. OUr compassion is being used against us and we are being taken advantage of but nobody does anythign to stop it. Sigh!

    These police detectives come from the Penn and Teller school of science, which states that Intelligent Design has nothing to do with science. Therefore, all deaths must be by natural causes. It would be foolish and non-scientific to make a case for murder because that would imply death by design. And, if the murder was planned by an intelligent being, it would be death by intelligent design. And promoting an idea like that would just be nonsense.

    Nothing to see here little blokies….move along then…there’s a good chappie.
