I think I'll go down to the video shop and rent a copy of The Running Man to see how this will turn out.

I'd rather read the Stephen King story.

If you have to go video, you might as well watch the 21st Century version - The Hunger Games.

I've got hard copy first editions of all of his works, also Vonnegut's and Murakami's. I figure it's a better spend than sex toys and far cheaper than first batch cars (Hi Sailor!).

We have way too many fucking books, hardbound and trade paper.

I'm in the process of eBooking everything I intend to re-read.

My goal has been to try to move out some of the military responses that they have been embracing and see if we can't get back to good, solid police work

I would too, but doubt the Ferguson Brain Trust has done more than watch it on VHS.

I can only see this ending badly in one of two ways: Either some hothead sets up an IED and causes a major shitstorm, or the residents meekly crawl back to their shacks and accept the boot on their neck again. Anybody taking bets on which way it will go?

Hmm.. more detail... seems our young innocent may have been charging the officer when he shot. I can't wait to see the autopsy results... those cigars he ripped off from the store, when soaked in PCP, would make nice fat sherms... and if smoked would also create a rather aggressive and out-of-control young man.

Wait, did I hear someone say 'Rodney King'?
