Not since 1863 when Lincoln imposed martial law have we seen such a act passed. I came accross this news article here. There is also a better write-up here.

Apparently in Helena-West Helena, Arkansas a recent gang turf war has enacted drastic measures by the Mayor James Valley. They have enacted a 24-hour non-stop curfew. If you don’t have a valid reason for being outside, you go to jail. That means that the police have no need for probable cause and everyone is subject to search and investigation. The ACLU submitted a statement saying that the mayor has violated first, fourth, and fourteenth amendment.

Here is a news broadcast of the event:

Here is another news broadcast of the event:

OMG Please think of the children!

I love how when the cards are down, people are all but willing to give up their God given rights like the lady in the video approving the loss of her rights:

I commend the Helena-West Helena Police Department!

Now don’t get me wrong, I think its messed up the amount of crime that is going down there. The guy interviewed, Richard Robinson, hit the nail on the head, the way in which the local government there is handling it is completely wrong.

I love it when the mayor gives classic sound bites like:

This turf belongs to the tax payer citizens, not to the drug dealers and the hustlers. And we gonna pop them in the head!

Wow, how eloquent. You cant make this stuff up. The mayor is totally off his rocker, here is another article where:

… the mayor of an Arkansas community decides the way to deal with pet overpopulation is to take the pound dogs out into a national forest and “set them free”. -mylifewiththecritters.blogspot.com

Simply amazing that he is still in office.

People that know me, know that I have this terrible addiction to monkeys. They add a modifier to everything funny. I call it the “monkey modifier affect.” Add it to something, and it makes it 30% funnier.

So Holy crap man, this movie was totally made for me. What is funny about skating? Nothing much, but add the monkey modifier and here ya go. Monkeys really freaking skating on the freaking ice, ZOMFG:

Ice-Skating Monkeys

That is prally the most BAD-ASS movie I have EVER seen!

Badminton cant be all that cool now can it? Honestly I wasn’t even aware that this was an Olympic event. This will make you change your mind about how insane it can be:

Crazy Badminton - More amazing video clips are a click away

I mean holy crap! Is this crazy or what? I am afraid to say this, but I am honestly pumped up about watching it now after having seen this.

Came across this video when looking at the new Olympics for this year. This was the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia. This in particular is the 100m FreeStyle event. This has got to be the WORST swimming event I have ever seen. Two get disqualified right off the shot, so the last guy gets to go by himself. Poor Eric Moussambani! He makes the swim in 1:52.72, but hey he freaking won!

Remember, at the time, the world record is 48:18, and this is quite a long horrible attempt here comparatively.

He looks like he’s thrashing around like a wet dog! His swimming form is awful! I guess they don’t have pools in Equatorial Guinea cause the national record there before this run was 1:53!

Before coming to the Olympics, Moussambani had never seen a 50 m (160 ft) long Olympic-size swimming pool. He took up swimming only 8 months before the Olympics and had practiced in a 20 m (66 ft) pool at a hotel in Malabo. - [Wikipedia Quote Pending Citation]

Freaking hilarious! Hey but hey, good heart Eric!
