The Hell !?!?!?! Your tax dollars at work:

I'm thinking that I'm going to claim I did some high profile insane psycho murder. If you do, you get treated like a god!

Here is how our tax dollars are spent bringing some scum-bag back to the states:

ABOARD THAI AIRWAY TO LOS ANGELES (AP) - John Mark Karr, the suspect in the death of 6-year-old JonBenet Ramsey, sipped champagne and ate fried king prawns in business class Sunday after being put aboard a flight to Los Angeles to face charges in the United States.

As Karr wined and dined in style and chatted with the three U.S. officials escorting him. . .

Before takeoff, Karr took a glass of champagne from a flight attendant and clinked glasses with Spray, who sipped orange juice.

Dinner on board, served on a starched white tablecloth, was one many passengers would envy. Karr started with a pate, then had a green salad with walnut dressing. The main course was fried king prawn with steamed rice and broccoli. Karr drank a beer, crushing the can with his hands when it was empty, then moved on to a glass of French chardonnay with his main course.


With service like that I figure his incarceration will be in a 7,500 square foot Tudor mansion in someplace like Bel Air.

Something is just not right about this whole situation.

Way to much media on this. Even though he has confessed, I am betting that nothing happens to him.

He may be nothing more than a gold digger looking for 15 minutes of fame and a book deal. He'll do 25 years if any, get out and be a millionaire.

But the question is since when does a prisoner get booze?

Like I said, something stinks about this whole mess.

That's the one thing that stuck out while I was reading Kobi's post.

Hey Budha,

Just went through San Antone last Tuesday. The northern loop of the 410 is a nightmare with the construction.

But still a beautiful city.

I guess because he is a "celebrity" prisoner he gets the VIP treatment.

Never know though he may wind up getting the "Dahmer" treatment in jail. Broom handle, wasn't it?

Yeah, if he's telling the truth about the crime. I'd bet he did something pretty bad where he was and wanted a "free ride" home and made the whole thing up. But nonetheless what a freaking joke!

Yeah it sucks......there was an article in the local rag (The San Antonio Excuse...err....Express News) about some newcomer referring to the construction as a wannabe site for the winter olympic ski jumps.

Or maybe it has something to do with the fact he's technically he's not in US jurisdiction so he can have anything. They didn't cuff him while in China (or wherever he was), not even when in the "custody" of US authorities . . . sounds like he's not really "in custody" until he enters US air space maybe?

Yup, and just imagine how well you'd be treated if you took out a group of people?

I figure if I take out a dozen or so people in NY, the State and Federal govt. will get me a suite at The Pierre. I can hide in France for 10 or so years, then confess, and be extradited. WIll awaiting extradition I can stay at the Crillion, then fly back on Air France in Premier Classe. Heck, I wouldn't even have to really kill anyone. I just find an unsolved mass murder and confess to that. Evidently the government loves that stuff and rewards the alleged perp handsomely.

I think the most amazing part of this story is how much people are paying attention to it.

What's the matter? Are they showing reruns of American Idol?

In a recent poll more people new who the winners of American Idol were than knew names of popular political figures. You don't like the government now? Just wait till voters have to get up from watching Judge Judy to vote, and miss the beginning of Survivor because the lines were long at the polling place. People seem to be getting their information on the political climate in sound bites because it leaves more time for the important stuff, So You Think You Can Dance?

Why are the people of this country so mesmerized by usless crap?

I believe he was charged here on child pornography and then split the country.
Also please note-- once indicted the statute of limitations is irrelevant.

At any rate this sick loser's joy ride is coming to an end.

wittom- The ruling class wants them mesmerized.

How old are you? Do you think that the dumbing down of America is a recent phenomenon? That the attention of the masses is both short (not to mentioned focused on the wrong things) is nothing new, it's just that these days there is even more to distract us (and now we are distracted in high def., which is much more effective than distracting us in standard NTSC . . . leaves the brain impaired for a longer period of time )
