Series of home invasions hit the Las Vegas Valley, police say – ReviewJournal.com

Josh, my boss, likes to send me links from the conservative Review Journal just to piss me off. Yeah, it’s news, but from a wingnut point of view.

The paper and it’s owner are bad enough. However, it’s the regular commenters that really, really blow your mind.

Here’s a story from today on a rash of home invasions in the area. Check out some of the comments if you wish, but here’s one that – six hours after it’s posting – has not yet been deleted:

My horrid racist, bigoted neighbors

A selection of comments concerning the shooting at the Federal Courthouse on Monday. There are a couple I missed because they were deleted, one of which was truly heinous. The Review-Journal story predictably has the worst of it as it is the local conservative rag. But the Sun has some filthy bastards of their own commenting.

Its starting to happen. Citizens against the oppressive government.

Whew! Glad to hear the shooting victims were government union workers and not actual people.

This sad story just noiw being reported, by the media, but I predict…

Many, many, many Metro Police Officers, CCFD and LVFD firefighters were be declared as “Heroes” and we see them over and over and over again on TV, internet, radio and in the print media receiving citations, ribbons, pay raises, Hero blankets, flyovers, salutes, plaques, keys to the city, medals, etc. etc. etc. for their work as Brave Heroes!

Question: Isn’t this the job coppers and firefighters get paid so handsomely for, especially the firefighters???

P.S. Give a medal to Union Representative Ryan Beaman also. With the unions, everyone gets something right?

These animals really hate the local firefighters, as evidenced here:

Hold all the Lobster for us when the truck comes in today. We will as always, buy all the lobster you have.

We have to be gone to some silly little problem down at the Federal Building. Oh well, we’ll get plenty of overtime to sit around and shoot the breeze with the union brother cops.

See you soon,

LVFD

And this guy really has an axe to grind since his home invasion didn’t override crime still in progress.

James the Lawyer wrote on January 04, 2010 04:28 PM: To “CCFD Family”,
To answer your comment, I had a break-in at my expensive house recently. I immediately called Metro and was told by a Metro Officer they WOULD NOT COME OUT TO MY HOUSE. They will always run or sprint to the funeral parlor at the drop of hat for a union brother though.

Metro said they were too short handed and for me to call Commissioner Rory Reid and tell him to increase officer pay and staffing. The loss was over $40,000. I was told to file a written report at one of the Police Stations. Metro was probably at the funeral home forming a parade line for a fellow Hero officer…complete with balloons, candles and flowers.

I did file the break-in report and called a month later to followup and Metro had lost my 4 page report. They had no record of my report…morons.

So “CCFD Family”, see why I have ABSOLUTELY NO RESPECT for you overpaid and under-worked firefighters, coppers, a/k/a by the general public the Las Vegas Morons?!!!

James The Lawyer.

P.S. Was your posted “attorney comment” a physical threat against me and/or my family? If yes, inform me of your real name.

And then there’s just generic cretins who apparently hate everyone. Mormons, Democrats, African-Americans, Firefighters, Policemen, Muslims. If you’ve got a group, they’ll hate it and want it dead:

Glad Wicks was shot and killed. Saved us taxpayers some money and Social Security too.

Yes it is true this man murdered on his job. God Be with him and his whole family.

It was abuse to victims in the story when Senator Harry Reid who lives day by second thinking how much money and power he can have over Americans, and our Country.

These politicians who are destroying our Country have no feeling for America, let alone a hard working man who is now dead to.

Translation: Man brought up thinking he’s entitled to free money finds out he’s going to have to go out and get a job since there is less free money.

Just think an entire generation in their 30s are going to find out there isn’t any social security money for them at all. FRom the article is sounds that he snapped after hearing he’s getting less (rather then none). If just .05% of the people snap like this you’ll have more combatants then some wars.

I hope there is more to this then just money but worse has been done in the name of a few dollars at a liquor store.

We are worn out from sitting in our firetrucks at the Federal Building for hours and hours and hour and earning thousands and thousands of dollars in firefighter overtime pay. The coffee and donuts from COSTCO was appreciated. Next time we need more glazed donuts and fewer sprinkles.

Just think $118 in overtime per hour pay, hell I’ll sleep in my firetruck for that amount of money any time.

Harry and Rory are my Heroes and they are Mormans like me and half my union brothers and sisters. I am black so I am double protected and will be the absolute last person to be fired. Affirmative action got me the job in the first place…and now I am a black, Morman, firefighter Hero and rich!

i love when they print happy new! Great way to start the new year. My heart does the dance of joy ever time a pig died. I hope they all burn in hell.

I mean, I’m not the hugest fan of the police, particularly the Vegas version, but never have I been thrilled at the death of a law enforcement officer of any department dying doing his job. That said, I do reserve the right to chuckle if Joe Arpaio strokes out.

There is some push back against these trolls, but it is drowned out by the hate:

A law officer is killed today and another in serious condition but hey, there’s still some pathetic union-haters finding time to contiue their holy jihad against city workers.

The poster is ONE PERSON — union-hater Helen Weils, who has a hundred aliases.

And a warning that the Rethugs have been stocking up on weapons solely because we have a black president:

My Idiot Neighbors

I completely forgot about these two fools but I’ve read some updates to their stories and am just flabbergasted at the stupidity allowed in this country.

First, there’s the nitwit teacher/Holocaust denier who apparently can’t be fired for trying to teach this crazy conservative crazy bullshit to kids. Thankfully, some of Lori Sublette’s students are smarter than she is. At least I hope they are. Others who went into automatic anti-Semite mode are probably hopelessly lost to us as thinking Americans. Sadly, they will grow to vote for Sarah Palin.

Is she still teaching? Yeah, here’s in libertarian Nevada, crazy psychopaths can not only teach, we let them be governor.

Then there’s Joseph Pepitone. This guy decided to don a barrel, put a bunch of anti-government placards on it, then vandalize the “Welcome to Las Vegas” sign. He now swears he woke up, took the wrong meds, and impulsively did this. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Here’s the bulk of the coverage by the network who just happened to be there when Whack Job went a’painting. Check out the video, particularly this one and this report.

Oh, and the non-premeditated part of his defense? Bullshit, as evidenced by this video:

He’s been profiled before for having a jackpot taken away by a game malfunction. It’s a four part series that starts here.

Hey, I work in the gaming industry. I feel bad for anyone this happens to but it DOES happen. This doesn’t give you a reason to be insane.

But yeah, there are just a couple of the morons that make up Vegas. You gotta take the bad with the good sometimes I guess.

Las Vegas club agrees to halt promotion featuring live dancers on truck – Friday, Nov. 13, 2009 | 5:48 p.m. – Las Vegas Sun

So long stripper truck, we hardly knew ya.

Look, I’m pretty much a local here. I don’t go to the Strip much, if at all unless folks come to visit or we get really cheap show tickets.

And I definitely don’t drag my kid down there at midnight. But apparently the “moral values” dipshits think they need to shut down something that is making a local business some money. So, alas, the stripper truck is no more.

I hate it when uptight nitwits ruin a good marketing venture. I had no need to see the truck, so it didn’t bother me. No one was actually getting naked in it. The Strip is covered in ads for burlesque shows and clubs and whatnot that have scantily clad females on it. Apparently those are fine to the so-called Christians or whatever they think they are.

Look, it’s Vegas. The whorehouses are over an hour away. Stripping is legal, and I don’t want to know what goes on in the all-night massage parlors and 24-hour acupuncture clinics. If you don’t like what Vegas means to the rest of the planet, move back to Provo or Chico or Alpine, TX for all I care. But quit voting for a guy who cheats with his best friend’s wife and then get all irate over a girl in lingerie in the back of a truck.

Hypocrites.
