So what’s the deal with this guy – Nick R. Martin of Heat City, the Phoenix blog operated by a former East Valley Tribune reporter.

You should do an interview before his home is raided like that last blogger who was critical of the cops.

Link?

“Still, I thought the song choice was inspired.”
Can’t disagree with that.

That’s true Ariel, it would have been better to confront him and get him to address some of his controversial tactics.

Still, I thought the song choice was inspired.

Oh, and for Stoddard, good on him for going to jail. Some integrity amongst the lies, or ignorance if you give him the benefit of the doubt.

SFL,

The problem with that is that they gave him and excuse to leave. It would have been better if he had had to face more hard questions.

Protests like that just lead to silence. You may get emotional satisfaction, but ultimately that technique simply decreases the discourse. “Feelings all I have is feelings…”

I love how the Sheriff got mocked the other day by journalism students, all singing Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody!

So, let me get this straight. The detention officer was going to stay at the jail because “it’s what the judge ordered”, but he refused to apologize even though that was “what the judge ordered.” Cute.

A travesty for justice the mainstream media is not on top of? Really?

Don’t know if this has been mentioned yet, but has he been reprimanded yet for dereliction of duty for being so wrapped up in staring at a document that was none of his business that the defendant, who was standing two feet away on the officer’s gun side, could have easily gotten to the officer’s weapon and done who knows what?
