True Crime is Off for the Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend

But we'll be back on Monday.

In the meantime -- this being Thanksgiving and all -- we'd like to give thanks to you, our readers, for continually showing up. Peace be with you.

More links from around the web!

This was the case: The DC Sniper. http://www.csmonitor.com/2002/1010/p01s03-usju.html My media does me no service, and certainly no favors, when it snitches on my protectors while they're trying to maintain the advantage and be successful in apprehending the criminals. When My Media does this, I am not served, I am betrayed. G'night.
Does anyone else know anything about KING 5 interfering with the police tactical op in the Tacoma Washington case? Have they done that before? http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2010382767_webfourdead29m.html I vaguely remember hearing about a case, I think it was in a documentary, about a murder investigation. The police were conducting a tactical operation was in progress hunting the suspect fugitive, and I remember watching a police officer being interviewed who said that because the TV station was flying around tattling on the cops' every move, snitching them out to the fugitives and anyone helping the fugitives. That makes me angry. I turn away from any outlet that does that, once I know (which is difficult because their fellow snitch news orgs *don't* report it to me). If you go to the Forza Coffee Company dot com site, you'll see a message posted by the CEO, Brad Carpenter, a retired LEO. If Maurice Clemmons turns out to be the shooter, may his wounds become slowly, painfully, irreversibly septic so he may die a hideous death four times worse than otherwise.
Police are citizens first. http://www.policeone.com/media-relations/articles/1970505-Editorial-BART-officer-acted-properly-but-media-didnt/ Ask yourself: If I want my neighbor to care about helping me in my hour of need, would it be fair for them to expect the same? Police aren't shipped in from another planet. They are our neighbors.
I am thankful that Washington State has a death penalty for the police officer assassination that occurred earlier today. That makes 5 police in that state in the past 30 days HUNTED to death. Washington State hasn't executed anyone in nearly 10 years. I hope the citizens of Washington State will make their Attorney General's phones melt from the furnace blast of their calls demanding the cop killers be executed and soon. Otherwise, they signal that they value the life of the criminal OVER the life of their protectors. My heart goes out to the families of the murdered police officers. Hopefully their community won't let them down by allowing the killers to live.
Wouldn't it be nice if the criminals decided to just be thankful for their freedom and took this weekend off too? Hope you have a great weekend with those you hold dear. :)
Happy Thanksgiving, Pete.
