Jennifer Fox being carried away after an assault by Seattle police.
Jennifer Fox, 19, was in attendance last week at an occupy rally in Seattle decided to respond very harshly. Fox was three months pregnant at the time. Here is her account of what happened:

"I was standing in the middle of the crowd when the police started moving in," she says. "I was screaming, 'I am pregnant, I am pregnant. Let me through. I am trying to get out.'" At that point, Fox continues, a Seattle police officer lifted his foot and it hit her in the stomach, and another officer pushed his bicycle into the crowd, again hitting Fox in the stomach. "Right before I turned, both cops lifted their pepper spray and sprayed me. My eyes puffed up and my eyes swelled shut," she says.

This week she suffered a miscarriage. Even though they haven't been able to attribute the harsh treatment by Seattle police to her miscarriage, it's hard to believe it didn't contribute.

My question is this - where's the outrage from the pro-lifers? The Seattle Police Department essentially aborted a fetus. You think the pro-lifers would be outraged over this.

And as a final moment of disgust, here's a video of Jennifer just after the attack:

McQueary Goes On Damage Control

Posted 11/16/11 at 11:31am by jamie

Penn State coach Mike McQueary, who witnessed Jerry Sandusky anally raping a 10 year old boy in the locker room, is now in full damage control mode:

In the email obtained by The Morning Call, McQueary wrote that he "did have discussions with police and with the official at the university in charge of police" following the alleged incident involving Sandusky, a former Penn State assistant coach, and a boy. McQueary also wrote that he "is getting hammered for handling this the right way or what I thought at the time was right."

"I had to make tough impacting quick decisions," McQueary wrote.

I have read the grand jury report countless times (you can read the PDF file here). Not once in there does it say that McQueary told the police. Here's the abridged version of what happened, per the grand jury report:

  • Friday, March 1, 2002 - McQuery witnessed the crime. He called his father who told him to come to his house. His father said he had to "promptly" report it to Joe Paterno.
  • Saturday, March 2, 2002 - This is when the "prompt" reporting happened. McQueary went to JoePa's house to report what he had saw.
  • Sunday, March 3, 2002 - JoePa calls Tim Curley, the athletic director, to his home to tell him what happened.
  • Approx. 10 days later - McQuery was called to a meeting with Curley and Senior Vice President for Finance and Business Gary Schultz.

Schultz oversees the campus police as part of his duty, but he isn't the police. No where in the grand jury report does it mention McQueary actually talking to the police.

And then!

Two States With Open Gun Laws Now Facing The Test

Posted 10/12/11 at 7:52pm by jamie

Chad O’Reilly

It’s only been in affect for a couple of weeks and now Ohio has it’s first arrest since allowing guns into bars:

Police say the incident occurred around 2 a.m. Wednesday when O’Reilly, who has a permit to carry a concealed weapon, got into a heated argument with another man at the H&H Tavern on Ohio Avenue in Deer Park.

They say O’Reilly, 25, walked out of the bar and returned a short time later with a .40-caliber semiautomatic Glock pistol in his hand.

According to the arrest report, O’Reilly shouted a racial slur at the man, who is Hispanic, and said, “I’m going to kill you.”

Deer Park police say O’Reilly’s friends ushered him out of the bar and police arrested him at gunpoint a few minutes later. He did not resist and no one was hurt

When this law was first being debated one of the State Senators had this to say:

State Sen. Jimmy Stewart, R-Athens, voted in favor of the bill in the Senate, where it was approved in May.

"It boils down to concealed carry permit holders are, by definition, law abiding citizens, or they wouldn't be issued the permit in the first place," he said. "I see nothing to suggest a law abiding citizen suddenly is going to become a non-law abiding citizen just because they enter an establishment that serves alcohol."
