The Tragedy of Kirkwood shootings

I go to school in Kirkwood, Missouri and I was in school the day of the shooting when my teacher Robert Lee ph.d said that we dont have to worry about violence in America and people getting blown away at every turn.I wanted to tell him that I thought about it all the time. That same day 2 miles away it happened. I cannot believe he shot the mayor. The shooter was a sucessful and popular man named Cookie Thornton and he was even friends with KMOV Channel 4 Newsman Doug Vaughn. In the last 3 months he snapped after a long and loosing battle with Kirkwood.He had been fined roughly 85,000 dollars in 7 years. He also stated that he felt like he was on a plantation. So maybe he should have called some one who can help him like Al are Jesse who could have helped in this case. Instead he went for a ruthless act and opened fire on one completely innocent cop, 1 cop who had no clue what would happen, and 4 targeted victims who were all in the city council. May god have mercy on his soul. It seems weird that a man with only little fights with the city of such the variety as a Martin Luther King protest grown into a cold blooded killer. The area in which he lives is a relatively peaceful community of predominantly blacks. This community over the last 3 years has shown complete hatred of police. Not the kind of hatred that a teeneager feels after getting a ticket but instead a hatred to kill. In 2005 a cop was murdered by a young kid. That Kid Johnson was sentenced to death. Some thing that was way over board. The situation occured because Johnson lost his brother that day to natural death.He went nuts and shot officer McInty who was trying to calm him down. The kid had a bad temper but was not really bad.Last year in January Michael Devlin was living in Kirkwood with Ben Ownsby and Shawn Hornbeck whom he had kidnapped. Hornbeck had been captured for 4 years. The Meacham Park area named after a St.Louis civil rights pioneer who gave up his life to teach blacks to read before the civil war. This area had recieved nice new homes in the previous 4 years but these homes were given to them kind of in a ethnic redistribution plan in which for all practical purposes besides physical violence to the extreme it was ethnic cloning.There has been a complete civil unrest between Meacham Park and Kirkwood and it is on a point of a physical war with Kirkwood in which innocent victims could be given martyrdom with there lives not just only in the wallet. To fix the problem in Kirkwood the whites in the city government should give the blacks of Meacham Park more of a say in the city government. They should have some of there own representatives and they should be given black cops to control the area of Meacham Park as this is not really a violent place and in many of the homes are about as nice as my families house.To achieve peace they should be given a chance to prosper and do commerse on there own while the whites should gain the freedom of safety from violence and all would be better. Until then the city is on the brink of a civil war inside the United States of America. Free the Jena 6.

My Presidential Endorsements who cares?

GOP-I endorse Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. I think he is the most conservative of the guys left in office. Huckabee is too wishy washy and is a split in the Romney camp, McCain is likely to get beat bad by a Democrat regardless of what the polls say, and Ron Paul voted against his parties number one area Iraq War.
The McCain accusations were bad about Romney as Romney does not want to withdrawl from Iraq. I think Romney could be a good fiscal president to, as he has made a lot of money off of Wall Street. I dont like the Liberal Republican purge of the party against big names such as Limbaugh, Hannity, and Savage. I will vote for Romney because as a Republican he is the only hope the GOP has to win.

Democrat-I endorse Senator Barack Obama from Illinois. He is a man who can deliver some very good speeches. He is far from my points of view on many subjects such as the War on Iraq and how to deal with the economy, but unlike Sen. Hillary "Another 8 years of Bill" Clinton he can stick to his convictions. He is a champion of his liberal cause which is not necessarily a bad thing and he can draw even some fed up Republicans who are tired of the economic and amnesty crises. Also noteable unfortunately is that Barack is half black this is always bad as the race should not be mentioned in the race. This however will lead to racist tensions in the Democratic party between the Party machine of Hilary led by Clinton with the goons of the party led by Jimmy Carville, Jesse Jackson, and Mateline Albright. I think that if Obama see's the seriousness of leaving the Iraq war that he could be a very good president in the line of John F. Kennedy or Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Hilary is very moderate in her politics and I feel that she is dangerous as is McCain to American way of life.

My prediction for the GOP race with the canidates that may win.
McCain 44% Clinton 52% Bloomberg 6%. McCain 42% Obama 55% Bloomberg 3%.
Romney 50% Clinton 48% Bloomberg 1.5 Romney 46% Obama 52% Bloomberg 1.5%

Superbowl XLII Prediction Sure to go wrong

As the oft funny and equally oft-iritating Mike and Mike would say. They cover football way to much but Greenberg is a pretty funny smart jewish nerd and Golic is a good commentator Catholic big jock.My heart hates the one team that is playing. The team from the Boston area that for the love of god I will not announce. The Giants are led by Eli who just beat Favre and the Green Bay Packers in the Ice Bowl III. I say that the secret weopan will no doubt be the running game of the Giants. They will likely hit that quarterback for severel sacks (3). That quarterback will have a efficient game however as he never gets flustered 24-34-279-2 TD 1 INT. His reciever Randy Moss who is the most talented WR of all time by the way will have a stat line like this 9-117-1TD. The Running game will be effective in clock time by getting 32-139-2TD. Maroney will have 75 yards and a score for the Roosevelt 2003 grad. Big Ups to the local kid who is 5 days my senior. The Giants will be effective in there running game as they will throw severel picks and will get severel sacks. I see Manning with this 18-31-212-2TD 2 INT. I see there running game posting 41 attempts for 164 yards and two scores. The Defensive MVP for New England is Mike Vrabel on the offense it will be Tom Brady. The difference of this game will be a late 4th quarter touchdown led by Manning in which he will play brilliantly. We will see Manning beat the beats just like his older brother did last year. The season spoiled the truth in the open the score 35-31 Giants.
