This story comes out of Wampum, Pennsylvania: 11-year-old Jordan Anthony Brown (pictured on the left; photo courtesy of the Lawrence County Prison) shot and killed his dad’s pregnant fiancee at point blank range, and is now being charged as an adult. Brown allegedly shot the woman with his 20-gauge shotgun in the back of the head. He had wrapped the shotgun in a sheet to muffle the sound

Illinois House Votes to Impeach Governor Rod Blagojevich « Republican Ranting

  • The Illinois House of Representatives, just in the past hour, voted to impeach Governor Rod Blagojevich (D), 114-1. The only representative voting against impeachment was Milton Patterson (D-South Chicago). Representative Elga Jefferies (D-Chicago) voted “present.” Typical Cook County politics, if you ask me. I commend the other 114 representatives who voted in the affirmative to impeach Governor Blagojevich. This will no go to the Senate, who will decide whether or not to remove Blagojevich from office.

Parents of 2 Suspended Cheerleaders File Lawsuit Over Nude Photos « Republican Ranting

  • Alright, so here’s a story I heard about that’s supposed to be featured on the news tonight, but I figured I’d go digging and just do the story now: On Monday the parents of two Bothell High School cheerleaders filed a lawsuit in the King County Superior Court against the Northshore School District (in Washington). The suit alleges that school officials acted unfairly when they suspended the girls from the squad earlier this year after nude photos of the teens circulated through the student body via text messages.

Michigan Restaurant Offers Free Pizza for McCain Signs « Republican Ranting

  • Alright, so you have Salvatore’s Pizzeria (Warren, Michigan) who’s offering free pizza to people who bring in yard signs. Diana, the owner claims that she just wants people to turn in their signs since McCain left the state. OK, people aren’t going to do that.

    The judge (supposed to be Judge David Groner, but I never saw anything that said anything today confirming that’s who the judge was) is now informing him of what right’s he is giving up (trial by jury, being assumed innocent until proven guilty, being able to testify, being able to cross examine witnesses, appeal this case).

Don’t Put Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick In Jail for Violating His Bond … « Republican Ranting

  • … because it’s just too dang funny to watch him violate his bond over and over again. But seriously, I would rather have him out of jail and committing more crimes, than kept in jail where he can’t commit any, and here’s why: I don’t trust Detroiters to remove him from office yet. The more crimes he commits, the more likely it is that he gets the boot, and as long as he’s not harming anybody right now, I say let him continue to violate his bond.
