According to Lee’s website, this is a video of the hostage taker, James Jay Lee, throwing money in the air in Silver Springs, MD. The YouTube video is dated as March 3, 2010. The person who shot this video wrote:
While walking to get lunch while on my break from work, I looked around to see a mob of people flocking back and forth from one area of the downtown Silver Spring area to the next. As I walked more, I saw money being thrown up into the air..! To this day, I still don’t know what exactly happened, so hopefully with this video being online, I can find out!
Update: The man in this video who was throwing money is also the gunman of the recent (Happening as I update this) shooting and hostage situation at the Discovery Building in downtown Silver Spring, MD. Quite crazy!
Thanks to Verum Serum, here is another video of a title sequence he created for his proposed Discovery channel show.
I came across this video yesterday and I thought it was interesting. Apparently at a small town in Maine the police were called because somebody was openly carrying a gun around town. Here is the exchange:
After the first listen this video seems pretty simple. The police acted within the law even if they were a bit overeager to get this guy’s name. Plus, who can blame the cops for wanting to know the guy’s name? They got a call about him carrying a gun around and even if that’s not illegal it still makes sense that they’d want some basic information about the guy.
This was old a long time ago, now it’s just downright annoying- not to mention ineffective.
On August 30, President Barack Obama talked about his administrations ‘focus’ on the economy after meeting with his economic team. Of course, there’s no shortage of blaming Bush within the speech– or technical difficulties.
Apparently after the difficulties, the people gathered could not hear what he was saying, but Obama insisted the press could and continued anyways.
In an interview with NBC’s Brian Williams, President Obama reinforced his position on the Ground Zero mosque. In typical Obama fashion, he blamed the media for the mis-understanding of his initial remarks.
Of course, we all know nothing is his fault…
However, despite Obama defending his position, it still puts him at odds with Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid who called for relocation. Howard Dean also came out in support of the mosque being moved. As are 71% of Americans who are saying it’s “inappropriate” to put a mosque at Ground Zero.
Benjamin Jealous, president of the NAACP, told Eyeblast.tv at Al Sharpton’s ‘Reclaiming the Dream’ rally at Dunbar High School in Washington, D.C.– a counter protest to Glenn Beck’s ‘Restoring Honor’ rally held on the same day from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on the 47th anniversary of Martin Luther King’s ‘I Have A Dream’ speech–that if you were to read King’s speech to the crowd in attendance at Beck’s rally, no one would applaud.
“I have a feeling if someone stood up and read Dr. King’s speech to that crowd, it would not get applause”, Jealous said.
Last week, we went to the site of the Ground Zero Mosque– which is located just two blocks away from the WTC site– and interviewed the Imam’s close friend and security guard on whether Imam Rauf ever clarified his comments made about U.S. policies as the reason for the attacks; he responded saying the Imam doesn’t have to.
What a sad display. A constituent of Russ Carnahan, who also runs the awesome SharpElbows.net, calmly and very politely asks him what his position on the Ground Zero mosque is. Yet the congressman refuses to even acknowledge the question.
I guess some liberal politicians are finally starting to realize that taking positions in opposition of large majorities of the American people is a bad idea. However, I don’t think deliberately not taking a position at all is a much better idea. I guess we will find out in November. (h/t Breitbart.tv)
Given this ‘get out of jail for free’ card, lets look at one example of how illegal immigrants drive up costs and how this would be completely unfair, not only to U.S. citizens who pay into the system, but also those who come to the U.S. legally.
One year ago, Carol Plato, an executive director of Martin Memorial Medical Center in Florida, gave a briefing on the specific costs and liabilities hospitals incur when they knowingly treat illegal immigrants.
Besides hearing the outrageous itemized costs that Carol lists, even more outrageous is that one of the illegal immigrants treated was deported — after racking up millions of dollars in legal fees– and is now suing the hospital.
A Ground Zero mosque supporter hurled expletives towards a Holocaust survivor during the protests in NYC this past Sunday, going as far to claim that he “obviously he didn’t learn his lesson all this time he was a Holocaust victim.”
“I have no problem cursing out an unpatriotic, treasonous, piece of garbage that wouldn’t know the god**mn Constitution if it hit him in the f***ing face”, the mosque supporter said of the Holocaust survivor when confronted afterward.
Later he said,”obviously he didn’t learn his lesson all this time he was a Holocaust victim, cause right now he want’s the same god**mn thing to happen to the Muslims that happened to him.”
At 51 Park Place in New York City–the proposed Ground Zero mosque location– Eyeblast.tv was interviewing people on the street when an American Muslim supporter of the mosque said to “get over” 9/11 and that despite Manhattan having over 200 mosques, they need to keep the location of the mosque “right here.”
“God d****it, my wife is Jewish. Come on you guys, get over it”, the man said in regards to 9/11 after trying to draw an analogy using the Vietnam War. Right after he says to “get over it”, a lady responded “Oh my God, I’m not going to get over it- it happened right there”, pointing towards Ground Zero. An argument then breaks out between the two. In typical leftist debating fashion, he later calls her a “racist”.
