Actor’s $100K donation to benefit Phoenix officers

Gift expected to buy 50 semi-automatic rifles for Phoenix officers

by Michael Ferraresi - Dec. 23, 2008 12:00 AM

An unexpected donation from actor David Spade is expected to provide Phoenix police with enough money to buy an additional 50 semi-automatic rifles for patrol officers in 2009.

The $100,000 gift announced Monday means as many as 300 officers could soon be armed with Bushmaster AR-15s, even in light of recent debates between police and union officials about the availability of the high-powered weapons during the city’s ongoing budget strife.

Advocates said the need to arm more patrol officers with rifles has only grown since union officials proposed in 2006 that officers should be allowed to buy their rifles if the city is unable to provide them. Police leaders met recently on the issue but have yet to expand the self-purchase policy beyond handguns and shotguns. Spade, a Scottsdale Saguaro High School graduate, provided the money to a non-profit police foundation after seeing a jarring television news report about gun violence. Police leaders said Spade told them he was inspired to help keep the community safe.
The comic-turned-movie star provided the check to Phoenix Police Chief Jack Harris early Monday but did not appear at the press conference. The Phoenix Police Foundation expects to use the $100,000 on rifles.

This was in my inbox this morning from the United States Concealed Carry Association and it sums up why some of us carry a gun.

Why I Carry a Gun

 

I don’t carry a gun to kill people. I carry a gun to keep from being killed.

I don’t carry a gun to scare people. I carry a gun because sometimes this world can be a scary place.

I don’t carry a gun because I’m paranoid. I carry a gun because there are real threats in the world.

I don’t carry a gun because I’m evil. I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the world.

I don’t carry a gun because I hate the government. I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of government.

I don’t carry a gun because I’m angry. I carry a gun so that I don’t have to spend the rest of my life hating myself for failing to be prepared.

I don’t carry a gun because I want to shoot someone. I carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed, and not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.

I don’t carry a gun because I’m a cowboy. I carry a gun because, when I die and go to Heaven, I want to be a cowboy.

I don’t carry a gun to make me feel like a man. I carry a gun because men know how to take care of themselves and the ones they love.

I don’t carry a gun because I feel inadequate. I carry a gun because unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate.

I don’t carry a gun because I love it. I carry a gun because I love life and the people who make it meaningful to me.

I bet old Abe is rolling in his grave this morning as once again corruption has struck the Land of Lincoln.   It is hard to believe honest Abe is still associated with Illinois as the shameful art of corruption is afoot. A lot has changed since the 1850s, maybe the state should change it’s motto to the “Land of Stinkin’.”

From Fox News:

Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich was arrested at his North Side home Tuesday morning. His chief of staff John Harris was taken into federal custody as well.

The criminal complaint by the FBI agents said the two had been arrested on federal corruption charges. Each were arrested on two charges of conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and solicitation of bribery.

Blagojevich and Harris will have an initial appearance in U.S. District Court Tuesday. 

The arrest is the latest step in a three-year probe of “pay-to-play politics” in the governor’s administration. A statement by U.S. attorney Patrick Fitzgerald said Blagojevich and Harris “allegedly conspired to sell U.S. Senate appointment, engaged in pay-to-play schemes and threatened to withhold state assistance to Tribune Company for Wrigley Field to induce purge of newspaper editorial writers.”

Federal authorities were permitted by a judge to record the governor secretly before the November election after raising concerns that a replacement for President-elect Barack Obama would be tainted. 

Fitzgerald’s office said the 76-page FBI affidavit alleges that Blagojevich was taped conspiring to sell or trade Obama’s vacated U.S. Senate seat for financial and other personal benefits for himself and his wife.

With two governors in a row (Ryan and Blagojevich) arrested and charged with fraud, conspiracy and abuse of power; and the history of Illinois politics and corruption. The fundamental question is: ”How are we supposed to trust anyone from the Illinois political machine?”

Obama keeps saying “trust me.” 

I say, “Yes, Obama I trust you…are a corrupt piece of fly crap, from a corrupt power base in Illinois.”

Most of the news media is buzzing about the closing of Gitmo and the progress of the court cases of the alleged hijackers from September 11, 2001.  ABC had these observations (the red quote by KSM is the most interesting):

With victims’ family members in attendance, the alleged mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks asked to postpone an earlier offer to plead guilty to murder charges and voiced concern that he might not be sentenced to death if he and his co-defendants plead guilty.

“Are you saying if we plead guilty we will not be permitted under the law to be sentenced to death?” he asked Army Col. Stephen Henley, the judge presiding over the pretrial hearing in the war-crimes case at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, also known as KSM, is facing charges of murdering 2,973 people. He has admitted to developing the plot to fly airplanes into buildings and allegedly insisted the planes hit buildings, even when Osama bin Laden purportedly said hijacking them and crashing them in the ground would be enough.

Only in America do you get to plead guilty and have a lesser sentence.  I guess Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was thinking he was in his home country where you can be executed for just about anything. 

KSM will have to wait a few more years before he is martyred as he wishes. When he does eventually die he will appear before the [one and only] Almighty God (יהוה), where l am sure lesser sentences will not apply.
