Jayson Williams Gets A 5 Year Prison Sentence!

Jayson Williams has finally found out how much time he has to do in prison. He accidentally killed his limo driver back in 2002. Mr. Williams received a 5 year jail term for that fatal shooting.

Considering the fact that this happened eight years ago,I would say that Jayson Williams was given ample time to prepare for his prison stint. Maybe now he will sober up & engage in some serious self-reflection. Because the victim's family feels like Jayson Williams has not been as remorseful as he should be.

Here's more from nj.com:

"In a letter to the judge read to the judge, Andrea Adams, Christofi's sister, said she endured eight years of watching Williams "partying around" as if her loss was "meaningless."

"Jayson Williams has been treated like a king, and it has been tragic," Adams said. "I believe Jayson Williams is a danger to society and should not be walking the streets."

"Maybe then my brother can rest in peace," she said.

Williams first went to trial in 2004, and a jury acquitted him of aggravated manslaughter, the most serious offense. He was convicted of the four charges related to the cover-up. Reckless manslaughter was the only charge on which jurors could not agree. He was slated to be retried this year, but pleaded guilty Jan. 11. During that hearing, Williams admitted that he pulled a shotgun from his gun collection on Feb. 14, 2002. He failed to check whether the safety mechanism was on, or if the gun was loaded, and he didn’t pay attention to where the muzzle was pointed. When he snapped the gun shut, it discharged and hit Christofi in the chest.

Williams has remained free on $250,000 bail and has spent the last few days tying up loose ends with his lawyers and spending time with his daughters, ages 7 and 5, said Akhtar Farzaie, his friend and manager. He has also made provisions for his charity work to continue, Farzaie said.

In addition, the Manhattan District Attorney’s office has charged him with driving while intoxicated for a Jan. 5 car crash. His blood alcohol content was 0.19, court papers say. If he pleads guilty, the district attorney will recommend a year in jail, consecutive to his New Jersey term." (END OF EXCERPT) Read the article in its entirety here.

A Man Intentionally Crashed A Small Plane Into A Building in Austin,Texas!

A man intentionally crashed a small plane into a building today in Austin,Texas. This guy may have also set his house on fire before the crash.There is no information on the pilot at this time.

The police said, during a news conference on the status of the investigation into the crash,that journalists were speculating & that they were guilty of being "irresponsible."All of the "inaccurate" reports seems to have incensed Austin's police chief.

CNN has reported that the perpetrator Joseph Stack left a 6 page suicide note that espouses his anti-government views. He also talked about his hatred towards the IRS. The building that Joseph Stack crashed the plane into housed 199 Internal Revenue Service employees.Wow!

"Now, here's the dude's manifesto, labeled...

Well Mr. Big Brother IRS man... take my pound of flesh and sleep well.

If you’re reading this, you’re no doubt asking yourself, "Why did this have to happen?" The simple truth is that it is complicated and has been coming for a long time. The writing process, started many months ago, was intended to be therapy in the face of the looming realization that there isn’t enough therapy in the world that can fix what is really broken. Needless to say, this rant could fill volumes with example after example if I would let it. I find the process of writing it frustrating, tedious, and probably pointless... especially given my gross inability to gracefully articulate my thoughts in light of the storm raging in my head. Exactly what is therapeutic about that I’m not sure, but desperate times call for desperate measures.

We are all taught as children that without laws there would be no society, only anarchy. Sadly, starting at early ages we in this country have been brainwashed to believe that, in return for our dedication and service, our government stands for justice for all. We are further brainwashed to believe that there is freedom in this place, and that we should be ready to lay our lives down for the noble principals represented by its founding fathers. Remember? One of these was "no taxation without representation". I have spent the total years of my adulthood unlearning that crap from only a few years of my childhood. These days anyone who really stands up for that principal is promptly labeled a "crackpot", traitor and worse.

While very few working people would say they haven’t had their fair share of taxes (as can I), in my lifetime I can say with a great degree of certainty that there has never been a politician cast a vote on any matter with the likes of me or my interests in mind. Nor, for that matter, are they the least bit interested in me or anything I have to say.

Why is it that a handful of thugs and plunderers can commit unthinkable atrocities (and in the case of the GM executives, for scores of years) and when it’s time for their gravy train to crash under the weight of their gluttony and overwhelming stupidity, the force of the full federal government has no difficulty coming to their aid within days if not hours? Yet at the same time, the joke we call the American medical system, including the drug and insurance companies, are murdering tens of thousands of people a year and stealing from the corpses and victims they cripple, and this country’s leaders don’t see this as important as bailing out a few of their vile, rich cronies. Yet, the political "representatives" (thieves, liars, and self-serving scumbags is far more accurate) have endless time to sit around for year after year and debate the state of the "terrible health care problem". It’s clear they see no crisis as long as the dead people don’t get in the way of their corporate profits rolling in.

And justice? You’ve got to be kidding!"(END OF EXCERPT) Read the rest here.
