Enemy at the (Professor) Gates!

First, look up either Massachusetts law - http://www.mass.gov/legis/laws/mgl/272-53.htm or
http://www.mass.gov/legis/laws/mgl/272-92a.htm
This is in response to the Boston Globe article here:
http://www.boston.com/news/local/breaking_news/2009/07/harvard.html
and the police report is here:
http://www.boston.com/news/local/breaking_news/gates_incident_report_redacted.pdf

The first part of this my response to the Boston.com segment with comments. I had to be “Unshaun Like” so the censors didn’t deny my post…which it’s the Globe and they probably will anyhow…
Here is the issue. An uninvolved party sees what she believes to be a burglary in progress (Felony). She calls 911. A police officer responds and according to the report (which an officer has to assume is true until proven otherwise), two black males was forcing entry (shouldering) into a home. (Read the police report hyper link). The Sgt. (means he probably has been to a few burglary calls in his career) responds to the door and observes a black male inside the house. He does what any cop (of any race) would do...he INVESTIGATES (crime in progress in CAMBRDIGE not MAYBERRY, partial match of description of an independent witness). Now I know what you’re thinking...he should know EVERY RESIDENT IN CAMBRIDGE...it’s such a small un populated town...but he doesn’t. So, in order to gain assurance the male matching the witnesses description inside (which he could have probably proned out onto the ground considering it was believed to be a felony in progress) lives there...he asks for his IDENTIFICATION (lets face it, if he asked the guy if he lived there, and the guy said yes.....and he didn’t the officer would be answering a complaint that he didn’t properly investigation a burglary). After the male throws a temper tantrum (including calling and asking for the chief of police...I am going to call the President of Harvard University Tomorrow and I better get right through....YA RIGHT) he provides a WORK I.D. (which the officer could have demanded a state issued I.D., Harvard is not a state school so don't go down that road). The officer probably sick of this rich, over educated, empowered moron and decided to leave (AFTER GIVING HIM HIS NAME TWICE) and Professor I am going to get the last word in) FOLLOWS HIM OUT SIDE and continues to be belligerent. However, now it is on public property...and this is NOW A CRIME (refer to above crimes which I posted since half of u people apparently did not read the police report, so I did want to assume you'd look into the crimes). Nowhere in that law does is say "professors of Harvard University are exempt from this law". I won’t deny that race is an issue, but this incident is NOT. He wasn't randomly picked out of a crowd and harassed...the police were called there. Also, this Sgt. was assigned to ADMINISTRATION, which means he promoted and had common sense and good judgment. It also means that he is not just randomly driving around the city and asking people to call in fake burglaries so he can respond. I would like to have seen if this occurred different, say the home was being burglarized (for the second time, read the report) and the cop DID NOT identify the male inside...then this professor would call and complain that it wasn't investigated right (he would also probably say it wasn't investigated right because he was black..But I digress). This officer had to satisfy the investigation and he did and attempted to leave. Professor Moron decided he wasn't done...Massachusetts General Law cites that he was...under chapter 272.53. And you can argue judgment about "he is a professor, he is an upstanding citizen etc.." but if it is good enough for the loud college drunk guy who refuses to leave when told (and you call because he woke up your kids at 2:30 A.M.) then it is good enough for the professor, and me and you.
Also, what if the professors wife served him with divorce papers (and no the police don't get a copy of those) and decided he(the professor) was going to kill her (professors snap and kill too read here and forced his way into his OWN home.
Also, read
http://www.odmp.org/
And tell me how many cops get killed at burglaries...and if the officer was a little on edge..you MIGHT understand why...they are humans...who for 45,000 a year base pay will die to protect you and your family...and if that’s not enough...call Professor Gates when your house gets burglarized next, not the "racist" police....
Ok, that was my post on Boston.com, Hence so swearing until this point. That is changing….NOW
See, I get pissed when someone ASSUMES racism is the reason. And I will not deny racism exists, I will not deny that prejudice is alive in well in ALL FORMS; Race, gender, age, sexual orientation, class etc. But I cannot fucking tolerate someone turning something into an issue that isn’t. THIS ISN'T RACISM.Hell, I got stopped by a black police officer before (my inspection sticker fell off, I guess Mass. Registry didn’t want to pay the extra .32 cents per million stickers. And as soon as I produced it and explained…he politely apologized and let me go. I told him he didn’t have to apologize…because it made sense as too why he stopped me. At NO POINT did I assume it was because I was white (at the time, I was around the corner from work..right in downtown Roxbury). Why, because I get the fact that they have a fucking job to do. He was a Motorcycle Cop, working traffic; I had no visible inspection sticker…END OF FUCKING LIST.
I think this guy was more aggravated about being a snobby Harvard Professor and ACTUALLY being accused of something. Here is a little advice asshole…even rich, upper crust, over educated douche bags break the law…so go pound sand. Seriously, I think Harvard needs to be petitioned to have this fucker fired…Just because he is an moron….How can you be that stupid, and work at a FUCKING SCHOOL!!!!! UGGGGGG..what is this world coming to…that’s it I am calling the president….I am sure I will get right though…

UPDATE: 7/23/09 - A President says what?????????????????

Umm....is he serious. read this first please; http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090723/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_obama_harvard_scholar

Ok, lets start with the most IMPORTANT QUOTE here "Obama called Gates a friend, and said he doesn't know all the facts of the case", errr...so why are you commenting. If you don't know all the facts, then WHY THE FUCK as the president of this country would you chime the fuck in. It took you almost a WEEK to chime in with the Iran thing, but this issue and your on it faster than a fat kid on a cupcake. Why would you say anything if you don't know the fact....here is why "Obama called Gates a friend"...UH huh, now I got it...he's a friend. Well, if my "friend" was arrested, I try to do a little research before I talk about it at a God Damned press confrence. This guy is supposed to be smart, why the fuck would he be this stupid. Here is another fun quote "Obama said, anyone would have been angry if treated the way Gates claims police in Cambridge, Mass"...in other words, any rich person who is politically connected would be upset if he was treated like a commoner. Again, Race is not the issue here it is being an elitist. Here is the top of the bull shit pile for me "What I think we know separate and apart from this incident is that there's a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately". I love this because it says "this isn't a race issue, but because he acted like an asshole rich guy, I have to spin it to BE a race issue to protect his rich ass...HE WASN'T STOPPED by the Cambridge Police, They were called to his HOUSE! By a citizen who thought she was doing THE RIGHT THING!. The police didnt know that his house had been previously broken into and that he had to force it open after his trip. The CITIZEN did not know that his door was messed up. FOR FUCK SAKE knock it off, the lesson learned here is that if your rich, tired and feel that you don't want to deal with some middle class police sgt., then when they police goto your house to investigate a burglary in progress, show them your I.D. (they have to prove you live there so they don't leave a criminal inside to steal your shit, or worse, to attack you when you get home) and shut up. Don't follow them into public, screaming how important you are and commit a crime (Disorderly Conduct). I know that Gov. Deval Patick made some comments to, but considering I have absolutely no respect for him, I will not comment. Oh and one last quote from the president "starting with Gates apparently forgetting his keys and jimmying the door. Police responded appropriately at first"...ok so you KNOW they were supposed to be there, Gates acted like some sort of SUPER-DOUCHE and your STILL GOING TO SUPPORT HIM. If this was a middle class/poor person (pick gender an race for this statement...because it could be any or all of them). There would be no conflict. They would have been arrainged, enter a plea and no news coverage.

OH, I almost forgot, if your gonna say "Hey Shaun, why did they drop the charges" I am going to say "Its because Havard University dumps so much money into the city of Cambridge, you better believe that Gate's 1 call from Cambridge PD was to the president of Harvard saying something like "Hey, we own there middle class asses, tell them to stop", I might be paraphrasing a bit....but it was close!

UPDATE - 7/24/2009 - The Douchebaggery Continues...

lets check these two out.
WCVB - Channel Five

One is the article in which the 2nd officer on scene with Sgt. Crowley states that the call went by the book. Also, you can watch the Lawyer from the police Union give the press confrence. My favorite part of this is Channel 5's retarded statment

"Cambridge police have been defending themselves against allegations of racial bias for arresting Gates in his own home for disorderly conduct even after officers realized he was there legally. The charge was dropped five days later."

One crime does not effect the other in this case. Yes he was NOT burglarizing his home...and that is a fact. He did however, go OUTSIDE of his home and begin ranting, raving, and yelling that all of this was racially motivated, actions that eventually amounted to an arrest for disorderly conduct. I would love them to poll EVERY COURT in the state and see how many charges are filed for disorderly conduct in a week. People would be surprised that it happenes alot. ...BUT Channel 5 won't put that one there...I didn't think so.

And now watch this one - Channel Five Deval Patrick Interview

Its FREE EM ALL DEVAL PATRICK running his stupid mouth off. He called this incident "Every black man's nightmare"...what is? Breaking the law and being arrested? Here is a little hit Deval (you scumbag), Every criminal's nightmare is being arrested after committing a crime. Its not just the black guys that have to worry about it. I wouldn't have jumped on this so face (I might have) if he said "every non-white persons nightmare" but seriously if your going to scream racial profiling, involve some other races to be profiled with the black guys you ASS. Thats just as racist to imply that other races are immune to racial profiling, and only black guys are effected.

I will again maintain that I do not think that ANY of this stemmed from race (did I mention that Sgt. Crowley taught racial profiling awareness in the police academy), but if your going to twist it, don't be so racist that you think you'd be the only race effected by it. FUCK!!!! am I the only person who can see this????

Oh, and the whole "voice your opinion in your own how without risk of arrest", DEVAL, you are a lawyer, why would you start down this road. I mean all the rapists you got off in Florida, and you can't even put up a good defense for disorderly. He was OUT SIDE OF HIS HOME you douche. And he can voice his opinion in his home, howevery under Ch. 272 s. 53 of the M.G.L. if he was loud enough, and continued on in a manner that disturbed the neighborhood, he could be charged with "keeper of a disorderly house". So, he has the right to voice his opinion, just as the general public has the right to not be alarmed, annoyed and a right to peace in the neighborhood.

I am sure the rant will continue on this mattter.

Update 7/24/2009 (At night) - He's not Lance Armstrong, Cause he is back peddling

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_obama_harvard_scholar

The only thing I can say, is NO SHIT. You should've just daid "I don't have a comment, as it does not pertain to me". But you didn't and now your gonna just do a verbal run around like a political jack ass.

U.N. der pressure

Ok, I have sat and been quiet. Its been months since I brushed off the old BLOG and took it out for a spin. For reasons I can not explain (laziness, aggravation etc.) I have not had the urge to post. I was trying to change the direction of my posting's from aggravated, watch dog (OK, more like a listening cat) to comedic, up beat happiness. I was getting more and more frustrated with everything in life, and decided to let things beyond my control (media, Government, celeb's, etc..) not annoy me. It is amazing how repressing such things can causes eye twitching, stiff neck, headache's and general discomfort. Well, no more will I not hide faceless behind a keyboard. And now I feel more inspired to write than ever. And the first order of business is to kick the U.N. (United Nations) in the nuts (which they do not really have).

Iran, North Korea.....Iran, North Korea.....Iran,North Korea....IRAN it is. Ok, first and foremost take a quick second to think of those poor people. They were born into a place where the Supreme Leader (Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei) was chosen by Allah. The long and short of it is that if he (Khamenei) says it, than it is gods will (It is probably best that I don't have this ability). So, apparently someone got a hold of the "god" phone and pranked the shit out of him. They must have said something to the effect of "hold a fake, unfair election. Screw over your people (even more than usual) and then beat the be-Allah (that's bejesus for christians) out of them when they become upset.

Now the elections (as I am sure you know) was between Incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (from the Douche bag party I believe) and reform Douche Bag candidate ir-Hossein Mousavi Khameneh. Sadly, in Iran this was their only options. This is because the Supreme Leader picks the candidates on his own and lets the people vote which of the two they want....and by vote I mean he PICKED Ahmadinejad, and let Mousavi run....to...ummm....well, give him something to do. It was a close election with SOME PRECINCTS report over 100%. What a turn out, when more people vote than are registered. That is freaking awesome! A.C.O.R.N. must have been hard at work over there. So, Mousavi lost. It was close..it had to be because it took the Iranian Government and entire 2 hours after the polls closed to announce that they counted all of the PAPER, HAND WRITTEN ballots to declare Ahmadinejad the winner. And after the obvious democratic partial and fair day long recount.... it was once again declared that Ahmadinejad had again won. No matter who won, the Iranian people were hosed. Since, both candidate where no prom date. Ahmadinejad is certifiable and well "Bat Shit Crazy" and Mousavi is only a little bit less radically crazy.

Well at some point between getting hosed and getting fucked over the citizens of Iran decided enough was enough. They took to the streets in peaceful protest (It really was at the beginning). They were upset that the lesser of the two evil's was not given a fair shot. I don't blame them.

I have learned alot about Iran lately. between media, research online and what my dog tells me (he lives and breathes international politics) Iranian Citizen and American's are not all that different. The average age of the country is 33, they are extremely well educated, Modern (considering they are constantly held back by their Government) and pretty nice people. I know that their maybe a ton of difference between the two countries, however, the people in Iran seem to generally embrace the freedoms they have and yearn for a more democratic life style to be able to have more freedom.

So, not we come to back to the Ayatollah. He stated that the partial recount was done, Ahmadinejad was and is going to be president and that is that. He also advised that people need to stop protesting or else. This was about a week after the "or else" had already started by the way. You see at this point, the Basij (paramilitary militia) was already out in full force beating people into a pulp, shooting people, imprisoning people and well generally being really Dickish. And I do not blame the Basij as individuals. This is a LEADERSHIP that stones people to death, cut off hands and all that fun stuff. But I blame their leader ship. I know they act out of fear, however, at some point someone has to say "FUCK, I just clubbed Bob from down the street" and make a stand. It is a tremendous blight on mankind.

Now that being said, its time to target who I am REALLY pissed at..our friends at the United Nations. I have one question for the U.N....WHAT THE FUCK! Why is it that everytime something actually happens you morons do your best Hellen Keller. Seriously! Can someone point out the last time the U.N. was useful! It is the same fucking dog and pony show every time. Something happens on the international community, and WE (The U.S.) are forced to look like dicks because we ACTUALLY say something.

Now, I did not vote for President Obama, and I thought he was a tad slow to react. I am not going to venture a guess as to his stratedgy on this. If he was waiting to see where it was going, if he was weighing options or just wasn't sure what to say. I know there was speculation that he was afraid that if he said something, the Iranian Government would turn it around and blame the U.S. for the protests. Here is a little hint, we were going to get the blame anyhow. I knew it, and I am not that smart!

That being said, WHY THE FUCK did the U.N. not go to the forefront of this and make a statement and take the reigns. because it was not CONVEINIENT to them. Just as with EVERY Security Resolution they pass (I'll get going on N. Korea in a bit), they don't do shit. That leaves the U.S. and a few other countries to act. And if we did not, then we are ostricized, criticized and every other "icized" on an international level. While they just sit on their ass and collect a paycheck. The U.N. is the international Bernie Madoff. We give them ass loads of money to be apart of this, and they take our money, and don't give us anything in return (Ok, we probably have a nice office somewhere at the U.N. headquarters in New York). The U.S. and a few other countries need to tell them to put up or shut up. Put on your light blue beret's and take a stand. I am sick and tired of hearing "The U.N. put trade embargo's and sanctions on country A and B". and then a month later, we find out that countries that are apart of the U.N. are selling items to these countries that are forbidden (France and Russia, remember when we found new equipment in Iraq after the war started that France and Russia produced and sold to them. And the equipment was on the forbidden list...ya amazingly that information went away fast too).

Which brings me to N. Korea. Its kinda like Iran, except instead of Supreme Leader, its Dear Leader (Kim Jong Il). And instead of the supreme leader talking to god, Dear Leader pretty much thinks he is. He is a tyrant leader who as done NOTHING but defy international law set by the U.N., shocking I know. Now he has a couple of rockets that MAYBE Nuclear and he is insinuating that he is going to launch one toward Hawaii on July 4 (or around then, I don't think he has a daily planner to keep track of dates). Now, first of all, I think that he is a dying man, that will take a chance of blowing some shit up before he goes. Just to say he did it. I believe there is a direct connection (hence the defensive rockets we have in place now) between July 4 (Our independance day if you forgot) and Hawaii (Pearl Harbor). I think that in his sick and twisted mind, if we enforce the U.N. Resolution regarding shipping (which we will have too, because no other country appears to be helping out...) then we created an act of war (thanks U. N.) and he will and I quote "If the U.S. imperialists start another war, the army and people of Korea will ... wipe out the aggressors on the globe once and for all".

Now, that being said, lets look at a few facts. As much as we know about N. Korea, there is assloads more that we DO NOT KNOW. They have purposely been shut off from the international community, only releasing what they want. We are FAIRLY sure they have a rocket, than can go nuclear and can travel about 4,500 km (crap, they use the metric system....shit I think it is about 4 million miles...) Ok, either way it is seriously enough that we had to put counter measures into place. And even though I have MUCH faith in our countermeasures, I also wouldn't underestimate that this Asshole has a dirty bomb in Hawaii so he can set it off, and say our countermeasures failed. Just to make his regime look better, even to his own people. And the U.N. does nothing. I don't see them doing much more than sitting there say PLEASE. while we have a missile pointed at our face, and again, as much as we THINK we know...we aren't that sure. If we were positive of the missile and its inability to reach Hawaii, then we wouldn't have defense missile's there. and they U.N. does nothing. I am going to toss out a role play here. In this Role Play, the U.N. is the police department, N. Korea is an Angry Ex-Husband and Hawaii is the Ex-Wife. read it through.....

U.N. - "Police Department, can I help you"

Hawaii - "Yes, my husband is standing a football field away. He has a hunting rifle and a scope pointed at my head. He says if I do anything to make him mad..he'll shoot."

U.N. - "is the gun real?"

Hawaii - "I don't know"

U.N. - "Well ma'am if you want, we can tell him not to shoot"

Hawaii - "Can you just take his gun away, he is mentally insane, and I don't know how good of a shot he is"

U.N. - "Well, if you want..you can get a gun too and point it back at him"

Hawaii - "Thats fine, but why can't you send the police, swat team etc. to stop him so I do not die"

U.N. - "Well ma'am how about this, We will vote on a resolution stating that he can not have the gun, or transport the gun. And based of the resolution we will give all the cops the right to stop him and frisk him...but they won't. Your just going to have to check for the gun yourself.

Hawaii - "Ummmm.....what if he said that he is going to test fire the rifle and maybe a few other guns in the area of our neighbors house"

U.N. - "and?"

Hawaii - "You guys don't really care"

U.N. - "Well we care, but not enough to take action...that would look bad if we just arrested him and took his guns away"

Hawaii - "Do you have the phone number for the ambulance, I might need them soon"

U.N. - "Call 411, have a nice day"

Now, I know that that is a real scaled down example, but the point is there. I mean seriously, can the U.N. just fucking do something. If not, thats fine, but they better not ask for help they next time they feel frisky and want to do something. And when will we as a country stand up to them and say fuck off....probably when we end up in North Korea on a U.N. peace keeping mission and find illegal weapons and equipment sold to them by Russia.

Well, let me know what you think below!
