GRATEFUL HOMELAND SECURITY THANKS LOCAL MORON FOR REPORTING TERRORIST VALENTINE CARD KDKA 2003-02-11 2:25 AM
A father alerted authorities after opening a box of valentines that he bought for his 3-year-old daughter; now authorities are crediting his vigilance. Nicholas Poillucci says he was shocked when the box of valentines contained the word "Jihad" -- a word commonly known to Americans as the Muslim word for 'holy war' -- followed by the message, "It's time to be mine." Concerned that the message might contain a hidden terrorist message, Poillucci called authorities. Officials are crediting Poillucci for demonstrating the awareness all Americans should have in the wake of September 11th. (text/plain + 2 comments)

DA Rules Police OK in Shooting 12 yr. Old; Group to Protest F15 miranda c. 2003-02-02 3:22 PM
On December 24, 2002, Pennsylvania State Police Trooper Samuel Nassan shot and killed Michael Ellerbe, an un-armed 12 year old African-American boy, in Uniontown, Fayette County. The boy was shot in the back after running from the officers. Nassan and his partner, Juan Curry, were chasing the boy because they believed he had stolen an SUV. That is where fact ends and speculation begins. What followed was a series of proceedings that highlighted the two troopers’ accounts of the killing that at least one person called a “kangaroo court.” (text/plain + 1 comment)
