It was taken at a convenient angle. That doesn't justify the idiots assaulting him, but is a deceptive photo. Black families were protesting too, it just didn't fit the media's agenda so wasn't reported. The only people murdered during all this were white, and the only students stabbed were white. Mattapan wasn't a white neighborhood so you can imagine how much fun it was for me. It sucked. Garrity made my life a living hell. |

Seizing the opportunity, the CFC (Goonswarm Federation, Razor Alliance, Black Legion and the Initiative) and Russian Coalition (Solar Fleet, Darkness of Despair and Against ALL Authorities) captured the station.” All in all, 70 Titans were lost (Titans are the massive God ships within the EVE universe) which cost around $3000 a go. Along with the 70 Titans which were lost, 4,000 ships were lost in the vast space which adds up to approximately $284,500. When all came to an end, N3 and Pandemic lost roughly 40-50 titans while CFC, Rus, and co managed a slightly better 20-25. CFC won, but obviously not without some serious wounds to nurse.

I didn't know myself until I bothered to look it up. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellamy_salute The Bellamy salute is the salute described by Francis Bellamy, Christian socialist minister and author, to accompany the American Pledge of Allegiance, which he had authored. During the period when it was used with the Pledge of Allegiance, it was sometimes known as the "flag salute". Later, during the 1920s and 1930s, Italian fascists and Nazis adopted a salute which had the same form, and which was derived from the Roman salute. This resulted in controversy over the use of the Bellamy salute in the United States. It was officially replaced by the hand-over-heart salute when Congress amended the Flag Code on December 22, 1942. I actually learned that years ago reading G. Gordon Liddy's book. A quick glance at the picture I assumed it had something to do with nazi youth group. Somee of these pictures need no explanation. others need a little help. |

Their objective was to achieve financial security and make outlaw history by simultaneously robbing two banks. From the beginning, their audacious plan went astray. The hitching post where they intended to tie their horses had been torn down due to road repairs. This forced the gang to hitch their horses in a near-by alley - a fateful decision. Emmett boldly rode back to where Bob Dalton was lying, and reaching down his hand, attempted to lift his dying brother on the horse with him. 'Its no use,' faintly whispered the fallen bandit, and just then Carey Seamen fired the contents of both barrels of his shot-gun into Emmett's back. He dropped from his horse, carrying the sack containing over twenty thousand dollars with him, and both fell near the feet of Bob, who expired a moment thereafter." They tried to out do the James gang by robbing two banks at once. Emmett was the only gang member to survive and was sentenced to life in prison but was pardoned after 14 years. http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/daltons.htm http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7b/Dalton_Gang_memento_mori_1892.jpg http://www.legendsofamerica.com/photos-outlaws/BobGratDaltonDead-500.jpg I am related to them.

The hardware store where the towns people armed themselves was still open for business too. It still had wooden floors, I remember it was loud walking across them. 20 some thousand dollars was quite a bit of money back then. |

Interestingly enough, neither of the former first ladies is looking directly at Lt. Stockwell, each carefully averting their eyes, while former President George W. Bush appears to be staring at her with a befuddled and confused look on his face. We can only imagine what he might actually be thinking, but his gaze clearly directs our attention to her star spangled, red, white and blue prosthesis, an ersatz symbol of the personal and private cost of the war in Iraq that contrasts with the shape and contour of her remaining, normal leg. http://www.nocaptionneeded.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Screen-shot-2013-04-28-at-8.58.31-PM.png another picture here of GWB with Lt. Stockwell. The look on Obummer |

Would a million or two or three be willing to take it that far. Give everything up and do it. I have wondered. Me too. After spending a fair amount of time thinking about it, I've concluded that the feds decided one dead American citizen in that desert would have ignited something far too big for them to handle, so they punted the football. |

Right. I have nothing to do all day other than read this thread and then research every single fucking picture some lazy bastard posts without the simple courtesy of doing just once, what you would have EVERY OTHER PERSON do, FOR EVERY PICTURE.

That's the sidewalk I took to get from my hotel to the (rebuilt) bridge. It's all touristy shops now. Just below the bridge to the right is the restaurant where I had lunch. |
