I don't believe anything that prosecutor says. He's unethical and a creep, which I find a very bad combination. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/ex-da-ken-kratzs-law-license-suspended-in-sexting-scandal/ I firmly believe everyone invoked knew the story Brendan told, of chaining, raping...

But did she say it? That's my problem. It's written in a probable cause affidavit. But that's not sufficient evidence for me in this case. Did she testify about this? I found it odd the way it was written. Trying to imagine how the bleach statement was even elicited. What did they ask her? Did...

Official docs written by LE who had already decided he was guilty or already had decided to frame him. I don't really equate the probable cause with truth. Especially if you look at the sequence. BJ was "interviewed" (if you can call it that-I don't see anything other than the bleach story)...

I'm not very convinced by this. The statement is in a criminal complaint written by LE. Is there a transcript of the interview acknowledged by the mother or a copy of her sworn statement? It also sounds suspect on it's face. Someone is questioned in February about what their son had on in...

I just don't find bleached pants very compelling. Bleach is a pretty commonly used cleaner and its easy to splash around. Ask em how I know? HA! It's easier for me to find an innocent explanation for bleach than it is for the "key" to be found, the only evidence that the victim was there-her...

That was the biggest head scratcher for me. Other than the key, there was no evidence, not anything at all, that showed the victim had ever been IN the trailer. She was chained, raped, murdered, and not a shred of dna or blood evidence. And no way could anyone have cleaned that trailer of all...

Did you see any pictures of their place? It was like an enormous junkyard/auto salvage place and the Avery family owned a large expanse of land, about 40 acres. Their homes and business were on Avery Rd. I don't find it at all odd that something could be placed there. This is a picture of part...

while writing my Christmas cards or at least that's what I'm supposed to be doing. Messed up is right. I didn't know anything about this case and haven't read up on it as I want to just watch it first. Very well done so far IMO.

But Islam is not just a religion. It is a political system. Muslims are commanded to establish an Islamic state. And I would have the same issue with any religion that doesn't permit church/state separation. There are already Islamic countries like Saudi Arabia that I would never live in. I...

She is one of the very articulate and knowledgeable voices on this. There are a lot of them out there. People who intimately know and understand Islam and how it is being wielded. And the idea of reform and who wins the battle of the prevailing ideology is critically important. Why, because...

I've learned about communities almost solely composed of Muslims with similar ethnic ties. One of my main concerns about these areas, beyond terror ties, is the abuse that routinely occurs. These are communities, like some here in the US, where residents do not call police. But these Muslim...

not that any of us are religious experts, but that was one of the many things I looked at as it is so often quoted by non-Muslims and Muslims. That, on its face, would make it seem pretty OBVIOUS that you can't kill people right? Except, you have to read the whole passage in context. There...

And this ignores the larger problem that also needs to be addressed. What is being taught, shown, encouraged in Islam? I found this 2007 Report from the NYPD illuminating: This report recognized the important underlying aspect...

Interesting, I have been following some Somali refugee investigations: http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2015/04/20/more-information-expected-in-terrorism-investigation-arrests/ http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/24/us/24terror.html

Islam has grown not only in violence but also in repressive conservatism. This conservatism leads to the initial culture clash that can end in the "religious" person being attracted to extremism. That has been happening much more rapidly in Europe than in the US but that, to me, also cannot be...

fad, a la Duggars. Part of the whole homeschooling, home churching, no worldly influences, general kooky stuff. I find it scary and have followed stories of some kids, see Penningtons as an example, escaping and the problems they've had as they try to deal with the outside world and practical...

is recent. I grew up in the 70's and my first job was for a Muslim family business. They had a huge extended family and family network and no one wore conservative dress. in fact, they were distinctly fashionable. I remember being struck by how they traveled to the "city" to get department store...

doesn't everyone ask, "Oh, what did you get?", "what's that big box" etc and how does the mother not notice that, although things, huge and numerous things get delivered every day there are never any new appliances, dishes, electronics etc....

and not being I know they're lying but just because they are all biased. The father is estranged so he may be motivated to both make himself look and them bad and the rest of the family is likely most concerned about how all this will impact them. Not that is a terrible thing; it is fairly...
