Conviction Confusion asks THE GoToNegro

Dear GTN,What a depressing day… I just read about another Mother who killed her children then herself…

This is really sad.

But one of the things that jumps out at me is this excerpt:

Texas has seen a number of child killings by mothers in recent years.

Less than five years earlier, another Hudson Oaks family was torn apart when Dee Etta Perez, 39, shot her three children, ages 4, 9 and 10, before killing herself.

Andrea Yates drowned her five children in the family’s Houston bathtub in 2001. In 2003, Deanna Laney beat her two young sons to death with stones in East Texas, and Lisa Ann Diaz drowned her daughters in a Plano bathtub. Dena Schlosser fatally severed her 10-month-old daughter’s arms with a kitchen knife in 2004.

All four of those women were found innocent by reason of insanity. Yates initially was convicted of capital murder, but that verdict was overturned on appeal.

Now why is it that these women are not GUILTY. These women killed their damn children, one would think is ULTIMATELY EVIL. Were these women rich? Did they get Johnny Cochran (sp?) as their Lawyer?

How come people who do evil shit like this get off? And normal-hard-working good people can be in the wrong place at the wrong time… and have to serve jail time for something so menial, or because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

…I dont understand our legal system (or people for that matter).

 

Can You Explain?

 

 

Signed Conviction Confusion

 

 

Dear Naive Nelly,

After today’s redirection from prison to house arrest of one Ms. Whorebag Hilton, you still believe there is any “justice” in our legal system!?!?

Well honey, then I got some property to sell you, and don’t worry about it being under water, I’ll have that cleaned up before closing….TRUST ME!

 The above mentioned stories I believe all happened in Texas, HEART of the Bible belt. I also believe most of these woman claimed that GOD himself told them to kill said children. So of course they can not be held responsible for their actions. These poor delusional women just got too caught up in their faith and became misguided, which resulted in some collateral damage. Even our President understands how a message from God can result in youthful collateral damage, so why wouldn’t usually hangin’ Texas Judges and juries. They are all God fearin’ people themselves.

 I mean it’s not unreasonable to think that God may have asked for these miniature executions. Read the Old Testament, the G-man was always ordering deaths and wars to be carried out in his name; why should modern times be any different!?!? The Lord is nothing if not consistent….Unless you then read the New Testament, where he contradicts much of the old doctrine but hey who are we to question…

 Anyhoo, for future reference if you want to commit a crime, claim God as your co-pilot or get a makeover just before entering jail.

Raduno, libro e pedalata notturna per promuovere le due ruote. E Ciclobby prepara il censimento.

[...] A Milano, la mattina del 17 settembre[...] Lo stesso giorno alla libreria Hoepli sarà presentato il libro «Evviva Milano in bici» di Anna Pavan: ventidue curiosi itinerari in bici alla scoperta di Milano (via Hoepli 5, ingresso libero).

Uno di questi percorsi potrà essere sperimentato la sera del 21 settembre in compagnia dell’autrice: il ritrovo è alle 20.30 in piazza Sant’Eustorgio, da dove si partirà per una pedalata notturna di un paio d’ore alla scoperta di quelli che la Pavan definisce «i finti castelli di Milano» (partecipazione gratuita).

L’associazione Ciclobby effettuerà per l’occasione il censimento dei ciclisti: il 23 settembre quasi cento volontari posizionati lungo la cerchia dei Naviglia conteranno le bici di passaggio. E per la prima volta sarà valutata anche la presenza di due ruote legate al servizio di bike sharing del Comune. Altri appuntamenti su www.ciclobby.it.

Paris Hilton Got Booed Off Stage!!!!

AHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!

Paris Hilton was booed off stage in Italy. It seems that Paris didn’t have such a great trip to Europe this time…she ticked off the Germans and the Italians. Does Parisknow who she is messing with?

From Pink News:

The socialite appeared at Join the Gap, which was organised by gay rights group Arcigay at the Borgo del Tempo Perso club in Milan.

While on stage with a drag queen host, she was told about the recent spate of homophobic attacks in the country.

Hilton replied: “That is not hot and it’s mean and wrong and I love and support you guys and I hope people stop people mean.”

However, when asked to hold up a non-political sign saying Stop Homophobia, she ignored the host and called for the music to begin.

When the host explained to the crowd in Italian she was refusing to hold the sign, she was booed off stage.

Oh, Paris! It was just a sign, and a simple one at that. Maybe she didn’t understand? But then, she didn’t come out of her hotel room for reasons unknown, so maybe something else is going on here. Paris did take a picture of the sign and put it on her Twitter page.

The Entertation Index: September 14

Black, Jack – The frenetic comedian from School of Rock and Tenacious D is spotted tootling around NYC carrying a giant axe.  Perhaps he was paying a visit to his agent for recommending he star in Year One.

Brown, Dan – The super-best-selling author of The Da Vinci Code has just released his new book, “The Lost Symbol.”  Without even reading it, you can expect atrocious, completely unnatural dialogue; a ridiculously mulleted, impossibly resourceful Indiana Jones clone; and mind-bender puzzles you might find by googling “folded $20 bill.”

Fox, Megan – It looks like our TBTS favorite once again generated headlines when she compared Transformers director Michael Bay, on set at least, to Hitler.  In defense of Bay, three anonymous Transformers crew members wrote a lengthy response absolutely lambasting Fox.  Bay himself posted a short piece trying to defuse the situation.  As of today, no rebuttal from Fox.  Check out the link; it’s worth the read.  This one’s only going to get better.

Hilton, Paris — Socialite, celebutante, debutite, and socialante Paris Hilton had the following quote considered something enough to be entered into the Oxford Dictionary of Quotations: “Dress cute wherever you go, life is too short to blend in.”  Since Paris’ lofty observation got in, next year I can expect to have accepted my exclamations “%$#!^” and “God, I swear to you I’ll never drink again if you just get me through this” after a night of whiskey shots at McCarthy’s.  See you at the awards ceremony!

VH1, Reality TV Shows On – Insiders at VH1 say that, after one of their reality show contestants (Ryan Jenkins) murdered his wife (Jasmine Fiore), they’ll “chill on the crazies” for a while by running shows featuring more celebrities and fewer random people.  To anyone who has ever watched reality TV, especially VH1 programming, showcasing more celebrities will not achieve their goal of “chilling on the crazies.”

Willis, Rumer – The 21-year-old daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore tells People magazine that she celebrated her 16th birthday at Ashton Kutcher’s place, who at the time was 26.  It must have been weird to have to say, “no, future stepdad in my same age cohort, I will not shotgun a beer with you.”

Paris Hilton now a part of Oxford Dictionary of Quotes

Hotel heiress Paris Hilton has joined the rank of intellectuals like Confucius and Oscar Wilde with her philosophical musings which http://www.hindustantimes.com/news/images/Paris.JPGhave been made a part of the Oxford Dictionary of Quotes.

Her take on life, “Dress cute wherever you go, life is too short to blend in”, will stand alongside words from world famous thinkers and philosophers, reported Daily Mail online.

The reality TV star’s words are among the 20,000 new quotations to enter the seventh edition of the prestigious tome including US vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s infamous quote, “What’s the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? Lipstick.”

Others come from the likes of Stephen Hawking, Aung San Suu Kyi and US president Barack Obama who found a place in the dictionary’s 65th edition with the line, “The arc of history is long but it bends towards justice.”

“Anything quoted today, verbally or “written” in electronic-form, can be and probably will be encountered by people all over the globe. The new edition of the dictionary reflects the impact of these changes,” said the dictionary’s editor-Elizabeth Knowles.

Hilton who is best known for her wild lifestyle and a leaked sex tape may have reacted to the good news with another of her favourite catch phrases, “That’s Hot”.

The blonde beauty had earlier sued greeting card company Hallmark for using the catch phrase without her permission.

Big Bang FILA Pictures

So I was browsing Fila’s website to look for 2NE1 updates about their Fila endorsements. The girls aren’t featured yet, but I stumbled on Big Bang’s Fila corner instead. I saw these pictures and I love it. These are adorable pictures. So I thought I would share these babies to you. Big Bang endorsed Fila’s Summer collection. And if I’m not mistaken, 2NE1 will be endorsing Fila’s Winter collection. That makes pretty sense why the girls are not featured on the website yet. And oh, you know that socialite Paris Hilton? Yeah, she’s endorsing Fila’s Fall collection.

Michael Jackson será a celebridade que vai faturar mais em 2010

Mesmo morto, rei do pop é aposta dos analistas de mercado para fazer mais de US$ 200 milhões no próximo ano, acima de Ronaldo e dos Beckhams

O cantor Michael Jackson, durante anúncio de sua turnê mundial 2009: shows em Londres que nunca aconteceram

Mesmo depois de ser devidamente enterrado, o cantor norte-americano Michael Jackson continuará sendo a celebridade a faturar mais como marca em 2010. A aposta é dos analistas de mercado britânico, que elegeram Michael o “mais valorizado” de uma lista de 20 celebridades com poder para movimentar as caixas registradoras no país.

O ranking inclui o cantor Elvis Presley, o ator Heath Ledger (o Coringa de Batman) e a vencedora do Big Brother, Jade Goody, todos falecidos.

Morto aos 50 anos, a imagem de Jackson tem potencial para vender de roupas e acessórios até bonecos e chaveiros, ampliando uma já lucrativa linha comercial que deve perdurar com os anos.

A lista traz ainda os atores Daniel Radcliffe e Emma Watson, de “Harry Potter”, cantoras pop como Lady GaGa e Britney Spears, o ator Robert Pattinson, o vampiro de “Twilight”, a herdeira e empresária Paris Hilton, e esportistas como o corredor de Fórmula 1, Lewis Hamilton.

A previsão foi feita por mil especialistas em licenciamento e branding, os maiores da Europa, que se reunirão para o evento Brand Licensing em Londres no final deste mês.

Segundo Ciarán Coyle, diretor do Beanstalk Group, “os herdeiros de Michael Jackson poderiam faturar de US$150 milhões a mais de US$ 200 milhões em royalties de licenciamento de 2010”.

“A imagem de Michael e seu legado estão licenciados para qualquer tipo de produto, de moedas a roupas, livros e até bichinhos de pelúcia”, disse Coyle ao jornal inglês The daily Telegraph.

“Para se entender melhor as coisas, a marca Elvis faturou US$ 45 milhões no ano passado e só uma pequena parte disso veio de acordos de licenciamento”.

“O motivo pelo qual Michael Jackson continuará faturando como uma marca licenciada é que ele tinha fama e uma ligação muito forte com seus potenciais consumidores”, garante.

20 Maiores Marcas de Celebridades para 2010 * Posição Celebridade 1 Michael Jackson 2 Cristiano Ronaldo 3 Lady GaGa 4 Emma Watson 5 Daniel Radcliffe 6 David e Victoria Beckham 7 Lewis Hamilton 8 Robert Pattinson 9 Elvis Presley 10 Britney Spears 11 Katy Perry 12 Andy Murray 13 Usain Bolt 14 Jenson Button 15 Kate Moss 16 Katie Price 17 Jamie Oliver 18 Paris Hilton 19 Heath Ledger 20 Jade Goody *Brand Licensing
