I’m sometimes wrong when I think I’ve smelled a rat. And I HOPE my rat smelling skills have failed me this time.

As you have heard, a white woman is claiming that some black teen boys shot her IN THE LEG while shooting her baby IN THE HEAD.

Why would they leave the threat alive while brutally killing an innocent who cannot chase them, call the cops on them, etc.?

Again, I hope my rat smelling skills are off this time:

A woman says she was taking her 13-month-old son for a walk in this Georgia town when they were approached by two boys who demanded money, then fatally shot her boy and wounded her.
“He said, ‘I’m gonna kill you if you don’t give me your money,’ and I said, ‘I swear, I don’t have any,’” Sherry West told CNN affiliate WAWS. “I put my arms over my baby and he shoves me and he shot my baby right in the head.”

Thoughts?

His Majesty is a mess, isn’t he?

Things that make you go “hmmmmmm”

Seems to be something to this. Some of these criminals worked at his mansion…

UPDATE as of 12/3/11 – Vanessa Long has again changed her mind and she is continuing with the divorce proceedings. Keep this woman in prayer. As a human being, my heart goes out to her. LINK

I was out and about today when I suddenly started receiving emails from Hicktowners. First group of emails said that Vanessa Long had filed for divorce. Second group said that she had withdrawn her petition.

Where is Diva when you need her? In the past she would help me out with these articles and if I could not get to the computer, she would post the article for me. But she enrolled in grad school and got out of the groove, so …….. ya’ll only have me to wait on. Sorry I am late getting to this! Where are you, Diva???

…her petition for divorce filed late Thursday afternoon in DeKalb County civil court, Vanessa Long said her 21-year marriage to New Birth Missionary Baptist pastor Bishop Eddie Long was “irretrievably broken,” adding there was “no hope of reconciliation.”
Vanessa and Eddie Long, the beleaguered pastor of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, have been married for more than two decades.

Less than 24 hours later, Long announced, “upon prayerful reflection,” she was withdrawing the divorce petition.

“I love my husband,” she said in a statement released Friday afternoon. “I believe in him and admire his strength and courage.”
Vanessa Long, a New Birth elder, said her decision to seek a divorce was driven by “years of attacks in the media that frustrated and overwhelmed me.”
It’s unclear whether the couple, who have two adult children, will once again share living quarters. In Thursday’s filing Vanessa Long, 53, acknowledged the couple had been in a “state of separation.”

Hicktowner, MoKelly reported on this separation a looooong time ago. However, they denied that there was a separation. But Mo had some inside information so I knew he had posted accurate information.

Why the farce?

We will never know what all is going on in that household or what that woman is going through but I will say this.

She would do well to step lightly and carefully in dealing with the “great bishop”.

I’ll tell you why. Several years ago he was on one of his high and mighty trips and was giving a so-called testimony.

In his arrogant way, he boasted about how when his first wife left him, he had planned on killing her and himself. Now he gave that testimony himself. Those were his words, okay?

So I would strongly urge Vanessa to step with caution.

I feel for her. She does not deserve this mess. Imagine what she knows that you and I don’t know. Okay?

This is actually a case where I’d say keep the woman in prayer.

THANKS to all my Hicktowners who kept me up to date on this today.

There is a dangerous trend at foot. Don’t sleep on this, Hicktowners!

While working at his next job at a consumer electronics company, the “eureka moment” suddenly hit: What if products could walk and talk on their own? You could design a completely different kind of warehouse. And you could staff it with robots.

This robot does factory and warehouse work:

This robot will get you a beer and cook you a meal:

PRESS HERE

This robot guards prisons:

PRESS HERE

This robot will fight your battles for you. PRESS HERE

I could go on and on. This is NOT good news, everyone. How long before robots are teaching classes, performing operations and defending people in court?

How many jobs, exactly will these robots take from citizens? Some of you are thinking that this won’t go far because it’s cost prohibitive. Actually computers were initially cost prohibitive, weren’t they? And now almost everyone has one.

One more thing.  I mentioned that there is a robot that will fight real battles in real wars.  That’s a good thing, right?  It will save lives.  Well, therein lies the rub.  Throw in some positive things that the robot can do and that will justify all the negatives…such as eliminating thousands and eventually millions of jobs that humans could be doing.  Don’t believe the hype.  Robots pose a clear and present danger to jobs.

I believe that the Tims family has forgotten a little something called “Freedom of Information”. Or would this not be covered under the Freedom of Information Act?

This case is now in court and it will be quite interesting to see the outcome!

In any event, Zachery’s mother has confirmed via her court battle her son’s cause of death. Darkness WILL be exposed to the light:

The New York attorney for Zachery Tims’ mother said Tuesday the family is challenging the legal right of the New York City Medical Examiner’s Office to release the cause of death of the Apopka preacher.

Ricardo Oquendo, who represents Madeline Tims in the lawsuit filed Friday, said autopsy and toxicology reports are not public record in New York City and their findings should not be either.

“We are challenging what has never been challenged before, which is the medical examiner’s practice of disclosing manner and cause of death,” Oquendo said. “The cause of death of any person who may be subject to an autopsy or toxicology should not be made public.”

Yvette and Greg brought this to my attention:

Sounds like a tall tale to me. Sorry, I don’t believe it. They’d better be glad I’m not on the jury.
