The Navy Seals are not the only government officials out shooting people. Tidewater police are doing their best to take no prisoners:

No weapons in car of men killed by Chesapeake police

"City police recovered more suspected drugs and bullets, but no weapons, from the car of two men shot and killed by Portsmouth police last week."
...Records filed Wednesday with a search warrant in Circuit Court showed that Chesapeake police, who are investigating the April 9 incident in the Holly Cove neighborhood, seized several items including four bullets, a bullet fragment from the seat behind the driver, suspected marijuana, a bag containing a white substance, a digital scale, $27.98 in cash and two cell phones."


Four (4) bullets, $27.98 in cash and two cell phones. Some bigtime drug kinpin killers, no?

here is a possible source of the four bullets--they went through these guys' bodies:

"The men killed were Demetrius D. Edens, 28, of Chesapeake, who police said was the driver, and Darren S. Wilson, 25, of Virginia Beach. Edens died of multiple wounds to the chest and neck, and Wilson died of a shot to the head."

And the local civilian bloodletting is also reaching for the stars:

Two teen brothers and girl are shot, injured in Portsmouth
One teen shot in Portsmouth home from hospital
At least one of the three teenagers shot Wednesday in the 1500 block of Richmond Ave. has gone home from the hospital, police said Thursday.

A second male victim, the brother of the released one, remained hospitalized in stable condition. Police on Thursday could not confirm the status of the third victim, a girl.

The brothers were standing outside a duplex when they were shot, while the girl was wounded inside one of the residences. Police were still looking for two people in an older blue Ford Crown Victoria with tinted windows whom they suspect fired the shots just before noon

Americans don't get riled up to protest. Give away billions in taxpayer money to financial fatcats with no accountability--no worries. Refuse to punish war criminal torturers--no problem. The battle cry is...moo. Koreans, on the other hand, live in a vibrant democracy and their political action is a bit more direct. Here is a striking photo of union protesters in Daejeon using sharpened bamboo spears to attack riot police.

CHAOS WASHING MACHINES

My apartment comes with a washing machine called, imposingly, a Goldstar Chaos Hi Tech Washing Machine. I thought it was a dryer too but that doesn't seem to be the case. Korean apartments have these alleys between the living areas and the outside wall in which clothes are dried. There are sliding doors between the apartment and the alley, and large windows between the bedrooms and the alley. I thought I wouldn't have to use it but if the washing machine is also a "hi tech" drier I sure can't find the right combination of buttons. Not that I haven't looked. I tried to decipher everything with the help of my dictionary and limited knowledge of the hangul alphabet (which includes only a dim understanding of the actual letter order--still working on that). The word pronounced (I think) "saw" is a simple two letter word. But according to my dictionary, it means, "a cow, a bull, an ox" or "dressing, stuffing," "little, few, ...

In case you didn't see that county map indicating increased Republican voting between 2004 and 2008 before they took it off of the NYTimes page, here is an image of it: This is a fascinating document that I think will be the focus of many studies. Explaining increases only in these areas in the entire country could be very instructive. Andrew Sullivan notes dryly: "Ah, yes, Appalachia and Arkansas. Obviously concerned about marginal tax rates for those earning over $250,000 a year, I suppose."
