Sheriff Arpaio Must Report To A Monitor

This is too funny! Sheriff Arpaio, from Arizona, who makes prisoners wear pink underwear and hates people who demand that he respect their civil rights, has been found guilty of unlawfully profiling people of Latin descent. So Judge Murry Snow is going to make Arpaio report to a monitor every month or so, in order to ensure that he is not violating the civil rights of Arizona citizens, or anyone else passing through the state. We have probation officers, DWI monitors, and hall monitors, and now Sheriff Arpaion will have his own monitor. According to his attorney, he is not happy about this either, but since he has been ordered by a judge to report to a monitor, and since he claims to be all about law and order, he should really just shut up and cooperate. The judge apparently does not trust the sheriff to remember that this is America, and that the Constitution was not written for only a select few, but for all Americans. This is actually a great idea; possibly the best law enforcement idea since making prisoners wear pink! I'll bet the sheriff never thought that he could be profiled lawfully by Karma!

Immigrating From Mexico

Interesting! The Santa Rita mountains in Arizona have aliens from Mexico in the form of jaguars! The Department of Homeland Security has been helping to monitor them. Too cute!

One might wonder, since the United States obviously has the technology to track wild animals as they move back and forth across international borders, and also to count the number of mating pairs of the same animals, if the effort to control immigration done unlawfully is actually serious. Just a thought.

 

 

Arizona TV Station Takes A Stand Against A Bully

An Arizona mom, who was identified as "Jennifer" by her local TV station in Arizona, was not guarenteed safety for her child, a seven year old boy, on the school bus, when she complained about a bully assaulting and battering him to the extent that he was unconscious. His younger brother had to "wake him up". In fact, the principal of Vesay Elementary has taken these complaints from Jennifer in the past, because the same bully has assaulted and battered her child in the past, yet no matter how many times Jennifer complains, nothing is done. So Jennifer gave her story to the local news station, who aired it. Mrs. School Principal was scheduled to weigh in with the school's side of the story, but at the last moment, told the reporter that "her boss" told her not to comment. Yeah. They probably could not find a way to blame a fight wherein a child would suffer a concussion on a seven year old. That's usually what a lazy school administrator will attempt as a first line of action-blame the victim. Hopefully, this media coverage will cancel Vesey Elementary's "Blame The Victim" card.

 

Here's more on the subject of bullies in schools.

 

Jan Brewer Endorsed Obama!

That's right! A Freudian slip of the tongue! Governer Jan Brewer of Arizona accidently endorsed President Obama! She actually stated that she hopes he wins the presidential election this year!

"I know that if President Obama is elected in November, which I hope that he is, that he will be able to come together with all of us and come up with a solution and I believe he will secure our borders and therefore we can resolve all those other issues, it's a simple matter."......Jan Brewer, via Yahoo News.

Jan Brewer has a serious problem, stemming from an apparent deap seated hatred, with any immigrant to this country who does not need sunblock at the pool. While it's true that immigration laws have been enacted for good reasons, those laws should apply to everyone, not just people with darker complexions than Jan Brewer's. Within the past month, a congresswoman from Missouri begged and whined at the powers that be to allow the caucasion and blond Lauren Grey to unlawfully overstay her visa; yet others in exactly the same position do not get that privilege. America's problem appears not to be with immigration per se, but with olive and darker immigration! But Jan Brewer's quote reveals what she very likely knows is best for America. Instead of talking out of her ass, as usual, she spoke from her subconscience.

 

Lady, go get yourself a life!

 

Update On Isabel Celis

Unfortunately, Isabel Celis, six years old and missing from Arizona, has not been found yet. And she has been missing for three weeks. Sadly, Isabel's parents have separated, and apparently, Isabel's dad, Sergio, did not get custody of Isabel's brothers. I hope Isabel does not get forgotton in all of this.

Isabel Celis And Her Parents' "Friends"

It seems that I have picked up a whole new breed of naysayers here in Siri's World.....people who want me to know that they know the family of Isabel Celis personally, and also want me to know that these parents should not be questioned or expected to act as concerned parents because they simply are above doing anything that isn't legal or right. Even if I wanted to believe that, it has already been established that Sergio Celis, Isabel's father, has a record for DUI. While not damning, in and of itself, it shows that on at least one occasion, Mr. Celis lacked respect for the law. The tone of the dissenting comments also suggests that because both parents are employed, there is no possibility that a child could have incurred abuse in their home. Sorry, unhappy commenters, but crimes against children have been committed many, many times by people who hold down regular jobs. Nice try, though. Also, the fact that Isabel's mother works as a nurse has nothing to do with possible guilt or innocence. Some time in the near future, I should really put together a post containing the statistics of the number of nurses and other medical professionals who are addicted to prescription drugs. Hopefully, no one is overlooking possibilities in Isabel's case because of the chosen professions, favored churches, or educational pursuits of the people in her life. Certain types of tragedies do not discriminate.

Here is a recent comment someone sent me, because the commenter did not agree with my statement that Isabel's parents were not vocal enough. "The parents said in a recent interview that they were unwilling to be on camera because they did not want to take attention away from looking for Isa. I don't think it is completely necessary for them to make a public statement, as long as they are fully cooperating, and the police have confirmed they are." Now; Mr. and Mrs. Celis are purporting that Isabel was kidnapped by a stranger. And so are some of their "friends"........here's another comment, "know the parents. know the kids. know more than just the news coverage."  Ok, disgruntled gentleposter, here's what I know, straight from the U.S. Department of Justice: 75% of children abducted by strangers are dead within the first three hours! No joke. By this time, I am sure Mr. and Mrs. Celis have been made aware of this too, if they did not already know. It has been about two weeks since Isabel was reported missing. The police have begged the parents to be more vocal and public about their pleas. And if the stats that I just quoted are not enough reason for Isabel's parents to get over their camara-shy and media-phobic tendencies, then I don't know what is. As long as the police are asking them to do things that they are not doing, such as showing a stronger sense of urgency on behalf of this little girl or speaking to the public, then pardon the rest of the world if it sees your friends as "uncooperative"! Most parents of missing children won't shut up!

Everyone who enjoys clouded vision can continue, if they so choose. I am still waiting for Isabel's parents to act with the urgency of a parent whose child has been kidnapped by a stranger.

Arpaio Thinks Birth Certificates Are More Important Than Real Police Work

Sheriff Arpaio strikes again! He's hot on Obama's trail! (seriously; where's the eye-rolley when I need it?) He's training his merry gang of volunteers, the Cold Case Posse, to scan copies of Obama's birth certificate, over and over again, with a magnifying glass, and....who knows...maybe a ouija board....for anything at all that can stir up the merry gang of "birthers", those determined but unstable folk who think it's not okay to have a president of mixed race born in a rather new state, (bona fide, inasmuch as our constitution is concerned) but think it would have been okay to have a whiter president born in another country, namely Panama, in a CIVILIAN hospital. (possibly not bona fide, according to the constitution)

Isn't there enough actual crime in Arizona and nationwide to keep volunteers for any law enforcement organization busy? Everyone from Sherlock Holmes to Donald Trump has had a look at President Obama's birth certificate, only to determine that it's authentic. Arpaio's efforts to reduce recidivism among convicts resonated among his constituents because they were a teeny bit parallel to reality. While his ideas to reduce illegal immigration in his community were unconstitutional and unethical, the ideas still responded to a real situation. But this birth certificate thingy has been proven quite a few times to be imaginary. Just a bunch of undereducated, undersocialized, unsmart prejudiced people who want a white male for president.

Crime in Arizona sometimes requires volunteer efforts.....let's see: we have the Jhessye Shockley case. Other children sometimes go missing in Arizona and need to be found. Volunteer efforts are almost always needed at some level in those cases. Why don't we see Arpaio putting his time and energy into that? Or....if he really has time to snoop at things that are not truly his own state's jurisdiction, such as another citizen's birth certificate, why not help with out of state missing persons cases? Kyron Horman,  Lisa Irwin, and Ayla Reynolds are still missing. If Arpaio doesn't want to do anything difficult, such as actually search or do police or hard core volunteer work, but prefers riling up the public with his take on documentation, instead; what's wrong with organizing volunteers to update and age progress some of these missing childrens' pictures?  

If Arpaio is using the President's birth certificate to garner attention from right wing loonies and gain votes during the next election, perhaps he would gain better and more solid attention for actually mobilizing his volunteers to solve real crimes and real problems, rather than acting on unbased impulses and insane thoughts.

Aisha Khan And Other Found People

Today has been a good day. Aisha Khan, reported missing from Overland Park, Kansas, was found last night. While many people are frustrated because she apparently was not in immediate danger, the fact that she is safe is good news. Also found was Lauren Weinberg, who had been lost in a snowstorm in Arizona since December 11. She survived by melting snow in a water bottle for drinking water. Her cell phone battery was dead, and she was unfamiliar with the part of Arizona where she got lost.

Some else was also found. Ted Tzal had been missing for thirtyfive years,  and his sister decided to give DNA to help rule him out as a victim of the serial killer John Wayne Gacy, of Florida, who was executed in 1994. One thing led to another, and Tzal was located, alive and well, in Oregon! Instead of closure, his family got another person for their holiday shopping and Christmas card list. He actually had an interest in the Gacy case, and had read books about it, but had never considered that during his thirtyfive year absence, someone may wonder if he had been connected to Gacy, as a possible victim! That's him, in the picture on the left. All too often, a sheriff has to knock on a door to inform a family of a death, but this time, it was quite the opposite. It's probably the best Winter Holiday ever for Tzal's family.

One more for the "found list"......In Philadelphia, Pa., a newborn girl was found yesterday in a cardboard box on a sidewalk. She still had her umbelical cord, and was wrapped in a blanket, a bathrobe, and a sweater. She was also lucky she was found shortly after she was abandoned. Her prognosis is good.

Some Good News

This is interesting; two year old Caleb Teodorescu, of Arizona, had been at the bottom of a swimming pool for about half an hour when his mom found him. She actually called her dad, to tell him that little Caleb was deceased.......yet rumors of Caleb's demise were greatly exaggerated! Here's the story, curtesy of Yahoo:
