U.S.: Idiot cop pressed the wrong key, sent racist e-mail to coworkers

  • There is nothing improper about this e-mail. Let’s see which of you are proud enough to send it on … BE PROUD TO BE WHITE!
  • An e-mail chain letter that got Tennessee State Trooper Brent Gobbel in trouble • But only after he sent it to 787 fellow coworkers. The e-mail espoused a white-pride stance, specifically in regard to police officers. “You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us,” the e-mail reads. “But, when a white police officer shoots a black gang member … you call him a racist.” Gobbel intended to send the message to himself in a classic Michael Scott move. • source

U.S.: Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan’s lawyer says he’s paralyzed pretty badly

  • It appears he won’t be able to walk in the future.
  • Lawyer and retired Army Col. John Galligan • Describing the condition of his client, who will be facing trial on 13 counts of murder in last week’s Fort Hood shooting. Considering Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan’s condition was originally described by the press as “dead,” paralyzed is an upgrade. However, we imagine this could complicate a trial for this case. • source

Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, a guy who has become as famous for the photo of his capture as he has for what he did, will face charges for masterminding the Sept. 11 attacks.
