http://downtownseattle.komonews.com

A man was fatally shot by police in downtown Seattle on Monday afternoon, according to police.

The shooting occurred on the northwest corner of Boren Ave. and E. Howell St. at approximately 4:15 p.m.

Police said an officer was on patrol when he spotted a man sitting on the sidewalk, whittling, and approached him.

The officer told the man to drop the knife several times, police said, but instead of doing so, he stood up. When the man refused to heed to his commands, the officer opened fire and hit the man.

Free the 'Shine! Why it's finally time to legalize liquor

http://www.youtube.com

Federal agents still raid distilleries much like they did during Prohibition, and making any amount of moonshine at home is not only illegal, it's a felony that can carry up to five years in prison. The result is a market dominated by a few big names, where would-be craftsmen are forced to hide their work.

And yet, despite the danger, America is in the midst of "moonshine renaissance," in which a new wave of hipster hobbyists has joined with old-time 'shiners to flout the law and do what they love to do.

760AM listeners say Muslims should register with the Government

http://www.examiner.com

760 KFMB AM is a talk radio station hosting such conservative luminaries as Michael Savage and Mark Levin. Today their website has a fun little poll that asks listeners:

During a time of war, should we register as many practicing Muslims as we can find in a national database?

No - it’s an invasion of privacy.
Yes- gun owners have to, why not Muslims?

Currently, 70% of those polled are in favor of forced registration for American Muslims.

The Market Value of Gold and Silver if the Dollar Fails?

If the dollar failed tomorrow and gold and silver took its place...Heck Yes!! Is it safe to say that the buying power of an ounce of silver or gold would match that of their current spot prices. In other words 1 ounce of silver would buy about $19.00 worth of goods and gold would buy apx. $1,200.00 worth of goods. Or would their values change dramatically therefore their buying power would be worked out overtime by the market.

Shinto Shrine Near Pearl Harbor

http://www.japanprobe.com

There are plans to build a Muslim community center a few blocks from the site of the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York City, and some American nationalists are not happy about it. A few people have tried to argue that a mosque near Ground Zero in New York would be just as offensive as Japanese building a Shinto Shrine near Pearl Harbor. If they’d bothered to do some fact checking before opening their mouths, they’d probably know that there are already some Shinto Shrines in Hawaii, with a couple not far from Pearl Harbor....

Netherlands to close 8 prisons due to lack of criminals

http://www.nrc.nl

The Dutch justice ministry has announced it will close eight prisons and cut 1,200 jobs in the prison system. A decline in crime has left many cells empty.
During the 1990s the Netherlands faced a shortage of prison cells, but a decline in crime has since led to overcapacity in the prison system. The country now has capacity for 14,000 prisoners but only 12,000 detainees.

Prison Without Walls

http://www.theatlantic.com

Incarceration in America is a failure by almost any measure. But what if the prisons could be turned inside out, with convicts released into society under constant electronic surveillance? Radical though it may seem, early experiments suggest that such a science-fiction scenario might cut crime, reduce costs, and even prove more just.

This is how the market deals with bigots

http://ambulancedriverfiles.com

Southern Style Granite. They have a really nasty attitude toward gays, to the point of refusing to do business with them.
And that’s fine, really. If they’re afraid of the gay cooties, that’s their business. The libertarian in me tells me that, as a private business, they have the right to refuse service to anyone.
But they don’t have the right to be immune from the consequences of their intolerance and bigotry.

Officer, that's not me! Mistaken ID jails Louisiana pastor

http://www.mercurynews.com

SHREVEPORT, La. -- A series of unfortunate coincidences led to a case of mistaken identity that put a Louisiana minister behind bars for nearly eight hours.

Gregory Jones, pastor at Eden Worship Center, was pulled over for speeding and arrested as a man wanted for violating parole in Texas.

The minister not only had the same name as the wanted man, but the same birthdate -- and a Texas driver's license. So he wound up handcuffed and taken to a Shreveport jail.
