48. #12. If you must know... and obviously you judge people yourself, 4 of my children are from the same man (whom I'm married to) and the oldest is from my first marriage. And no, I don't live off of welfare. I provide for my children by being successfully self employed and am able to work from home. So there.

49. I suppose defensive arms is a right of self-defense. Packin' defensive arms against paparazzi is one thing but packin' defensive arms against teenage girls is something else.

51. I agree with #12. If you're going to throw out stupid ignorant comments that are clearly for the purpose of judging another person, then you better be prepared to be judged as well. Mommyx5, I hope your tubes are tied. We don't need anymore better than thou pricks running around.

How many of you have been to south Louisiana? Or out in the country
anywhere? In south Louisiana, if there are bayous or marsh/swamp land
(which is most of Louisiana), you have huge moccasins and rattle
snakes. To say nothing of gators. If you have a dog, you'd better
be willing to protect it from the gators, no matter how big the dog
is. Gators think that dogs takes like chicken and they really like
chicken and won't quit trying to eat one until they catch it or are
shot.

That's why so many people who live out in the country (whether
Louisiana or anywhere) carry shotguns, pistols and rifles. When you
need one, you need it. Calling 911 could be too late and mace isn't
going to do a whole heckuvalot of good, either.

Now, I suppose if you were Naomi Campbell and had a dead-eye with a
Blackberry you could get by... Nah. If I'm looking at a big ass
rattlesnake, moccasin or bull gator, I'd rather have more firepower
than battery power.

Coroner jury: Diana unlawfully killed

By ROBERT BARR, Associated Press Writer 4 minutes ago

LONDON - A coroner's jury ruled Monday that Princess Diana and boyfriend Dodi Fayed were unlawfully killed through the reckless actions of their driver and the paparazzi in 1997.

The jury had been told that a verdict of unlawful killing would mean that they believed the reckless behavior of the driver and paparazzi amounted to manslaughter. It was the most serious verdict available to them.

New criminal charges were unlikely because the incident happened in France outside the British authorities' jurisdiction, a court spokesman said.

Nine photographers were charged with manslaughter in France, but the charges were thrown out in 2002. Three of the photographers were convicted of invasion of privacy in 2006 for taking pictures of the couple.

The couple and their driver died in Paris when their speeding car slammed into a concrete pillar while it was being chased by photographers in cars and on motorbikes. The jury added that the fact that Diana and Dodi were not wearing seat belts was a contributing factor.

The coroner, Lord Justice Scott Baker, had instructed the jury that there was no evidence to support claims by Fayed's father, Mohamed Al Fayed, that the couple were victims of a murder plot directed by Prince Philip and carried out by British secret agents. The jury was not at liberty to disagree.

The six women and five men on the jury began deliberating April 2 after hearing six months of testimony from more than 240 witnesses. They also went to Paris to see the scene of the Aug. 31, 1997 crash.

The cost of the inquest itself, including lawyers and staff assisting the coroner, has exceeded $6 million.

Baker had expressed hope that the inquest would lay to rest, once and for all, any false theories about the princess' death.

Dodi Fayed died instantly when the couple's Mercedes, moving in excess of 60 mph, slammed into a concrete pillar in the Alma underpass in Paris at 12:22 a.m. Medics initially thought Diana would survive her severe injuries, but she died at a hospital around 4 a.m.

The paparazzi who pursued the couple were vilified. As grieving Britons piled up flowers outside Diana's Kensington Palace home, some British newspapers declared they would never use another paparazzi shot — a vow that proved time-limited.

French police announced a day after the crash that tests on driver Henri Paul's blood showed he was three times over the national drunk-driving standard.

To # 56 M

I don't know where they are from, but from some of the postings, it would seem that their feet haven't ever been far from a paved surface. There are reasons to carry a weapon when you are out in the country and it has nothing to do with violence against other people, either.

That's probably why mountain bikers get picked off and eaten by mountain lions while they are out for their weekend bike ride. Hunh. How many people in Texas or New Mexico or Louisiana do you hear about who get picked off their horse or bike by a mountain lion? Doesn't happen. We shoot them before they eat us.

59. WOW! You're husband's friend is a redneck, huh? Well then....I guess it's OK for me to refer to someone as being a n**ger just because my best friend is black...and people think "rednecks" are ignorant.
