Silly MSM

The main stream media is just silly. I mean, they say that they report the news, but so often it seems that they only report the parts they want. Take this story, (found via crimene.ws)

Police arrested a teen suspected of trying to lure three young girls into a stolen vehicle after a group of parents confronted the boy at a Scottsdale elementary school.

The teen fought with a group of as many as 10 parents Monday evening at Copper Ridge Elementary School, 10100 E. Thompson Peak Parkway after the parents used their vehicles to trap the teen on campus until officers arrived.

The 16-year-old boy told officers he escaped from a bus traveling to a "group home" in the West Valley before going to a friend who reportedly gave him a stolen Buick sedan, which he drove to the Scottsdale school.

Police released the boy's name; however, The Republic is withholding it because he is a juvenile.


Because he is a juvenile? Really? The police release it, but the news won't? I know, you're thinking that this is limited to just this one news source, but it's not. In fact, another news source released the name, and then had second thoughts and withdrew the name from their story.

I wanted to know the name of the perp- because lets face it, we have a right to know. So, I did a Yahoo News Search for "Copper Ridge Elementary School", and the first results were:

Mob of parents corners suspect until police arrive Open this result in new window
KTVK Phoenix - 2 hours, 8 minutes ago
A suspect accused of trying to lure children at a Scottsdale elementary school was corralled by a mob of parents before police arrested him Monday. According to Scottsdale police, a parent spotted Anthony Ross chatting with three girls at Copper Ridge Elementary School
But, evidently after posting the story, KTVK had a change of heart on sharing his name, so they removed it from the story, the story on their site now reads:

A suspect accused of trying to lure children at a Scottsdale elementary school was corralled by a mob of parents before police arrested him Monday.

According to Scottsdale police, a parent spotted the suspect chatting with three girls at Copper Ridge Elementary School in Scottsdale.

I don't know about you, but I take offense to people who believe that just because some pervert is under 18, they should have some sort of extra protection despite the fact that they are openly attempting to prey on our children.

So, since the news media in Arizona doesn't seem to think it's important that you know the suspected perp's name, I'm going to go ahead and give it to you a few times:

Anthony Ross Anthony Ross Anthony Ross Anthony Ross Anthony Ross Anthony Ross Anthony Ross Anthony Ross Anthony Ross Anthony Ross

Now, this is important, because according to yet another news story that didn't run the name either:

The teen was released to a guardian at his group home and is facing charges of aggravated assault, endangerment and possession of a stolen vehicle.

Yep, he was released. Back to the same group home, because after all- they did such a good job of watching him to begin with.

Guided by practical experience and not theory, especially in medicine Kennedy hate crimes rider may doom Hatch's sex offender bill By Robert Gehrke The Salt Lake Tribune WASHINGTON - A fight over federal hate crimes legislation could torpedo Sen. Orrin Hatch's push to strengthen the nation's sex-offender registries and clamp down on sex crimes. The Senate Judiciary Committee gave quick, unanimous approval to Hatch's bill Thursday, clearing its way for consideration by the full Senate. But Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., said he plans to try to attach language to a bill that would require tougher sentences, provide federal assistance and offer grants to prosecute hate crimes - those motivated by hatred for a race, religion, gender or sexual orientation.

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...

Boyfriends...

I sometimes wonder if certain men have some sort of animal DNA breed into them. The type of DNA or whatever it is that makes animals ritually preform certain actions. Like lions, when a male lion takes over a pride it'll often kill the offspring of the previous male, before mating with the female lions and creating cubs of it's own. I only wonder this, because it seems like there are an overwhelming number of men out there that end up killing the children of their girlfriends, not all of them do- but on a case by case comparison between girlfriends killing their boyfriends offspring and boyfriends doing it, it just seems that it's a lot more common amoung men. NOT THAT ALL OF THEM DO THIS... there are some great boyfriends/stepfathers out there that actually take care of kids as if they are their own... but then we have cases like Christopher Thunborg and Kashon Scott. Thunborg was babysitting his girlfriend's 11 month of baby in March when police say he caused ...
