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.

He loves me, he loves me not, oh what the heck he loves me...

It seems to resemble a bit of a 3rd grade crush. Mag said first grade ... but it's really less annoying that having my ponytail pulled. He loves me... after all, he keeps linking to me . He loves me not... evidently that's why he uses my comments out of context and twists my words... he loves me, because clearly he likes to "poke the bear" (That 70's Show quote). Yes, I just referred to myself as a bear. A lot less hairy, but no less scary. Because anyone that thinks you should be locked up for the rest of your life is indeed scary. Especially when she likes to go around telling everyone how demented you are... and how she'd like to see you locked up forever. And even more scary when you know that it's the truth she speaks. And Lindsay, he is demented. And he should be locked up forever. And, well it seems that he is a fan of mine. Yep, that sick lil monkey can't help himself. He reads this here blog (which is a hint that you should share your thoughts...

Mom Arrested After Baby Found Mauled By Dogs

This is a story that I really don't want to share, it angers me all the while breaking my heart at how someone could be so cold and callous. My only comment is that there is always a better way. Some may of thought of going to the hospital, others may have thought about calling someone- anyone for help. But the complete disregard this person showed is horrifing. PORTSMOUTH, Ohio -- Investigators said the badly-mauled body of a newborn infant was found Tuesday afternoon on the banks of the Ohio River. The next day, the baby's 21-year-old mother was arrested after admitting to a hidden pregnancy. The mother told investigators that the baby was still-born at home. She said she panicked and disposed of the baby boy a few miles from her home, NBC 4's Erin Tate reported. The investigation began after authorities received a 911 call from a frantic mother. Dispatcher: "911, what's your emergency?" Caller: "My kids were just outside, telling me that the dog was ch...
