— Ace Well, my rule of thumb (if the police don't tell you, they're actually telling you) didn't apply this time.
The man and woman arrived at MacDill Air Force Base as it cleared out for the day. They slowed the sport utility vehicle and showed identification.
In the Honda were six guns, ammunition and military-style clothing. The man, active duty military, reportedly was absent without leave.But the military security guard didn't know that.
Only the IDs raised a flag. They appeared to be fake, base officials said Tuesday.
Authorities identified the pair who tried to enter the base's Bayshore Boulevard gate about 5 p.m. Monday as Spc. Christopher Paul Kilburn, and Micah Goodier of Palm Beach County.
Kilburn had been stationed with Alpha Company, 1-16th 1st Infantry Division, Fort Riley, Kan. He was charged with desertion and will be turned over to the Army.
Oh, and remember Amy Bishop? And how current US Representative William Delahunt dropped the ball on that investigation? (PS, good luck tracking down mentions of Delahunt's role in MFM articles.)
U.S. Rep. William Delahunt today stood by his office’s handling of a 1986 shooting in Braintree...“The real tragedy here is an opportunity for a psychiatric evaluation of Amy Bishop could have been done,” Delahunt told the Herald today.
She'll be charged for that shotgun murder.
- Amy Bishop has been charged with murder for the 1986 shotgun slaying of her 18-year-old brother in their Braintree home, according to Norfolk District Attorney William R. Keating."The grand jury has indicted Amy Bishop for murder in the first degree,'' Keating told reporters today."Here in Massachusetts, we had evidence of a murder. We proceeded with that, as we should have."
The slaying of Seth Bishop was declared an accident by Norfolk County authorities at the time. But questions were raised about the investigation after Bishop, a college professor, was charged in February in a shooting rampage at the University of Alabama Huntsville. Three of Bishops' colleagues were fatally shot and three wounded in that case.
Keating said an indictment warrant has been lodged with Alabama authorities. He indicated that he would give the Alabama triple murder case priority. Asked if Amy Bishop would ever be tried in Massachusetts for murder, Keating said, "you never know.''

When we used to do exercises to challenge the Base SPs, we would try to pass off our American Express cards as IDs. It worked on more than one occasion. That's a little harder to do with the CAC cards.

Amy Bishop said she was showing her brother how to use the shotgun. She shot her brother at point-blank range while he was facing her.
That doesn't raise red flags? That's a funny way of showing someone how to use a shotgun.

Politician's kid rule.
In the town where I grew up, the cop lingo was "peecee," short for the "PCS" (politically connected suspect) notation that sometimes mysteriously found its way onto their paperwork. It meant "Drop it, with prejudice."
My best friend's dad owned a bank and ran a couple non-profits. His being a peecee (and saying so) got us out of two underage drinking arrests. He could have killed somebody if he wanted to.
Bishop didn't grow up with a sense of murderous entitlement for no reason. She was entitled.

Didn't she accidentally shoot her brother....twice?

U.S. Rep. William Delahunt, who was then the Norfolk County district attorney, has said that Braintree police never told anyone in his office that after Bishop shot her brother, she tried to commandeer a getaway car at gunpoint at a local car dealership, then refused to drop her gun until officers ordered her to do so repeatedly. Those events were described in Braintree police reports but not in a report written by a state police detective assigned to the district attorney's office.
Investigators looking at an old crime scene photo from her brother's shooting discovered a newspaper article about the 1986 killings of actor Patrick Duffy's parents. The clipping, which was in Bishop's bedroom, described how a teenager shot the "Dallas" star's parents with a 12-gauge shotgun and stole a getaway car from an auto dealership.
F-ing Adrian Monk would have missed that clue.

That means, Alabamy has the death penalty suh, and Dr! Amy will be long dead by the time those yankees pull their asses out of their butts. If they want to try her state fried dead body, they can have her. Heh.

I'm from MA and here's a true-true fact about Bill Delahunt that you don't want or need to know:
He likes to go to those hedonism vacation clubs in the islands. You know, the places where old perverts gather and and walk around naked looking at the few stupid young people (mostly doods) who thought it would be fun to go on a nude club med vacation and maybe see some hot chicks (or other young doods).

Maybe one day....
Joran van der Slut was found dead in his Peruvian cell of accidental head trauma. It appears that he slipped, fell and hit his head on the toilet. Seventeen times.

And the police and DA bought her bullshit story?
From the linked article (Polio was police chief at the time):
"I don't question myself one bit,'' Polio said during a telephone interview this afternoon. "I did absolutely the right thing because when I took it for granted that (reports) were sent over to the DA's office when in fact there was a lack of communication that I was unaware of. I did nothing that I would change.''
I read this doubletalk as his putting it on Delahunt.

And both are clad in black and white. Coincidence? Perhaps............

In the movie, Bishop would never act that twitchy because of behavioral inhibitors.

52 I'm so ashamed to have been born and raised in Massachussetts.
I was there as a child. Nice countryside / suburbia. And Scott Brown's victory shows that east of the Berkshires and outside the 128 corridor, the moonbattiness is less than it appears.
