Crime News

I would have posted this yesterday, but I was taking a break to watch a Movie- Night at the Museum and celebrating the last birthday I'll ever have which will actually make me a year older. Every birthday hereafter will be celebrated with me remaining the same age as I am today.

Anyway, a while back crime blogging buddy Trench started CrimeNe.ws For those of you who know Digg, it's a lot like that- only dedicated to stories involving crime. For those that don't- imagine it as being a community blog, where the readers get to submit the stories, and then vote on which ones make it to the front page. You may comment on the cases posted, sharing your personal thoughts with other members.

While all of the crime bloggers highly enjoy your thoughts on the cases that we cover- those cases are ones we have been touched by, or that have stuck out in our minds as ones needing more attention. CrimeNe.ws on the other hand- gives you the chance to let us know which cases you are most drawn too, which ones you feel are in need of the attention. And, because most of the crime bloggers within the True Crime Blogroll are members of CrimeNe.ws- we'll be able to pick up the stories that you submit, and get a better idea of what you'd like to see. It is the perfect tool for you to reach not just one crime blogger- but all of us. And, as a community- it provides the chance to interact with others who, like you, are interested in current, and past, crimes.

And, best of all, it provides you with a place to remain up to date on what's been going on in crime- even if your favorite crime blogger fails to make it to the computer in time to share it.

Now, I'd be silly not to mention this- while I already have your attention. If you look at the footer of each of my posts- you'll see a link to "Submit to CrimeNe.ws". This gives you the chance (if you are a member of CrimeNe.ws) to submit any post from here, to there, in a simple step. And, there's chance that you might be seeing this link pop up in the other crime blogs too- so keep an eye out for it.

Florida Sex Offender Registry

Reading the news today, I was taken back to see that the Florida Sex Offender registry was being criticized. Having had the chance to look at it previously, I had always found it rather informative, and well organized. The issue that many are having with it now wouldn't be noticed by the occasional browser on the site. Which makes it even worse. A review of the FSR has found some rather unsettling statistics: The News-Press analyzed the Florida Department of Law Enforcement database of 36,306 sex offenders and found: • 9,205 of them are incarcerated • 7,037 have run away or can't be found • 824 have been deported; and • 516 are dead. Of the 15,573 sex offenders listed as released and not on parole or probation, only 11,355 of those actually live in Florida. Sex offender registries can only be usefully, and only fully do what they where designed to do when they are updated, maintained and monitored continuously. When you are relying on the SO registries to monitors how safe your...

This land is my land, this land is not your land...

I was reading the illegal immigrant news this morning... you know, all about the Spanish National anthem... and all about their big rally May 2... and I started thinking. Perhaps, just perhaps we need to stand up. It may be a really good time to remind everyone who's country this is. 12 million illegals... heh, I think we can beat that. The rough estimate is that the US has a population of 298,000,000, or close too it. Take away the estimated 12 million illegals, and we still have 286,000,000 give or take some. So, basically, if one were to be honest- a boycott by legal citizens would be more impressive. 12 million illegals, who can not legally vote verses 286 million citizens who can minus children and some criminals. My country. Not theirs. My taxes, my jobs, my political leaders. 286 million people should be able to remind law makers just who put them in office. 286 million people should be able to remind companies who buys their products. 286 million people should be able to si...

WTW Someone Please Help Us

There's so much to work with, I'm going to just hit as much as I can. Ashely Simpson decided to pick a fight at McDonald's. Betting millions that if the employee would just go and get the manager- the manager would just love her. Simpson's climbing on the counter and irate behavior where in typical White Trash Style. Great coverage at Stereogum. Tom Cruise has decidedly canned his sister for her inability to help him keep his mouth shut. Evidently he needs a real professional as his PR person- in order to keep him in line. It's just not right firing family because you're and idiot. Kate Hudson is suing someone because of photos of her in which she looks like a starving actress. She claims the images suggest she has a eating disorder- no Kate, it's not the images, it's the you. One should not sue because they have starved themselves to the point of it being noticeable in photos. Please stop by these other great sites to read more WHITE TRASH WEDNESDAY B...
