Fried Sniper

At least he would have been if they still had the electric chair, but it looks like we'll have to settle for the injection as being the method of execution of John Allen Muhammad, the DC Sniper who is now having his lame carcass hauled off in the back of a van for disposal and instead of 72 virgins, he had at least that many Virginians cheering his demise after he killed a dozen people, at least, and injured 3 others as he fired from a hidden position, mowing down folks. One woman was cleaning her car, a man was gassing up his car at a Virginia gas station, another was cutting grass at a Rockville car dealership.  One man was waiting for a bus in Aspen Hill and a woman was sitting on a bench in front of a lunch counter.  A woman was killed in front of a Home Depot in Fairfax. The fall of 2002, one year after the 2001 attack on America showed once again the radical Muslim attacks could paralyze America.





Fire Marshal ran light, hit jeep

Eric White as Jason Armacost, of Lusby. The Fire Marshal, who witnesses said caused the wreck was identified as Sander Cohen of Germantown.  Both drivers were taken to a hospital for treatment of their injuries. No charges have been placed as of Thursday, said Cpl. White.

Are there more crazy Ragheads ready to attack? Stay tuned and your views are always welcome...Have you forgotten about the Beltway Sniper who is set to die on Nov. 10th for his killing spree?

Are folks getting ticked off at the media?  Are news organizations feeling their ire?  More than 30,000 jobs have been eliminated in the print (over 13,000) and broadcast operations in the past year as revenue drops but still the mainstream media functions as a house organ for the Obama White House while the Obama Administration worries not about Afghanistan, health care or the economy...they are spending their time trying to put Fox News out of business... click on the photo below to learn more about how these folks are fighting back.



Killer in the News: 1991


Douglas Alan Kovak, left, as he was placed under arrested by police for burglary in 1990.  Right, under arrest for the murder of Kovak on Oct. 2, 1991 was Michael Jerome Young.  Escorting Young from the St. Mary's Sheriff's offices to the jail was Deputy Rusty Malone.   Kovak's family just recently learned of the fate of their son by reading an online article in ST. MARY'S TODAY. Young was with fellow drug dealers in the wild and wooly open air drug market at the old Hills Trailer Park in Great Mills when Kovak, on the day after he was released from jail on the burglary charge, arrived at the drug market to buy crack cocaine.  He was stabbed and taken by ambulance to St. Mary's Hospital where he died. Young pleaded guilty in 1993 and was sent to prison. ST. MARY'S TODAY photos
