THEY JUST LOOOOOK LIKE CRIMINALS.....

Martins Ferry Police Chief - Barry Carpenter

Carpenter was charged with two felony counts of burglary, one count of receiving stolen property, one count of theft in office, one count of tampering with evidence and one count of unauthorized use of telecommunications property. If convicted on all counts, the defendant faces up to 21.5 years in prison and fines totalling $45,000.

He entered innocent pleas to all charges and was released on his own recognizance. Belmont County Common Pleas Court Judge John Solovan set a status conference for Aug. 21, and a trial date has been set for Oct. 20.

Bridgeport Police Chief - Chad Dojack

Charges of complicity to burglary, one a second-degree felony and one a third-degree felony, and a charge of complicity to receiving stolen property were filed against Dojack. He also pleaded innocent to the charges and was released on his own recognizance. If convicted, he faces up to 14.5 years in prison and fines totaling $30,000.

A Nov. 17 trial date was set in Dojack's case.

Bruce Callarik was charged with one count of complicity to receiving stolen property. He faces 18 months in prison and a fine of up to $5,000. He pleaded innocent to the charges and was released on his own recognizance. A Dec. 1 trial date was set.

I am totally impressed that this investigation moved along so expeditiously. considering it took 10 years for New Jersey to break the money laundering, organ stealing group operating in their state. Kudos to Ohio BCI!!

Now Dojack, may just join the rest of the felons in his family. (**Sandy that's for you guys!)

Happy Anniversary to me....woohoo!

I just realized that as of today I am starting into my 4th YEAR in the blogosphere!! WOOHOO. My very first pathetic posting was on December 28, 2005 - for me this is quite an accomplishment. I still hope I can get better at this venture, as I am far from "a writer", I more or less just blather on and on! I have a moderate amount of followers - I'm sure if I were a better person with words, that would be a larger figure, but I am a satisfied individual.

***********

Since a new administration will officially take office in THREE weeks, I needed to get this last grievance out - never to be spoken of again, I hope!

Now on to "current events." Just reading about Dick Cheney makes me want to puke, but reading this, brings on thoughts of a full blown stroke. The man is totally delusional and so obtuse. Not understanding why he is so unpopular just reeks of his distance from the populace.

Let's see now, he was the primary architect of a war against a sovereign country, based on deliberately fabricated intelligence. He then turns around and lies to the American people about the threat this country poses against the United States. He (and this administration) failed to complete the military actions started in Afghanistan - thus creating a massive debt based on two wars - which future generations will still be paying!

Cheney's personal assistant was involved in the outing of a United States secret intelligence agent, all in the name of political revenge.

Aha, now we can't forget the massive failures in dealing with Hurricane Katrina.

Cheney also, a huge proponent of torture of prisoners, which goes against the general beliefs and mores of the citizens of the U.S.

Cheney and this administration turned a blind eye to the sub-prime mortgage debacle, although the warning signs were evident...and now the major economic meltdown as a result.

In his quest to "expand" the privileges of the President and Vice-President, he and Bush have managed to violate Federal law and our Constitution.

And finally - if I hear "we haven't been attacked since 9/11" one more time - I will end up in prison. Wake up assholes - 9/11 happened on YOUR watch!! I take small issue with that statement, because since 9/11, we had the D.C. sniper, and anthrax poisonings - so I feel they constitute the classification of "attacks!"

I'm not holding my breath, but Cheney and Bush should be held accountable for their treasonous acts - even after office. This is something we will have to just wait and see about.

The only salvation for this outgoing administration would be - for the "revisionists" to work overtime in re-writing this history.

I feel better now, just having the opportunity to vent a wee tad. Of course, there are always other issues that keep me awake at times, but for now...I will rest.

Have a good one all and later............
