No __ Seriously !! They really ARE getting away with murder

WHY??
Please read on ................
UPDATE May 20, 2007 --- I am going through the blog bit by bit and re-doing and editing (not to content but to language .....) these posts. One of my purposes is to remove any profanity (in some posts) and another purpose is to correct mistakes made due to time constraints and rushing. There's SO much. Michaela Mahoney is NOT the only person whose son was murdered. She's one of TOO MANY but her case and the Michael Scott Niesen case and the Joey Turner case are still working their way through the system in one form or another and my purpose is to draw attention to them as much as possible. The newest post, devoted solely to Shawn McMillan is located here. Upcoming pieces will highlight Joey Turner and continue to highlight Michael Scott Niesen.
UPDATE: Sometimes I am late to the party. Okay, I'm late to the party a lot, frankly. I'm a beeeezzy girl. But just because I am fashionably late doesn't mean I can be denied a prime seat.
North Country Gazette (thank god for this paper) is all over this and has done a pretty stellar job of covering. But, there's still more and it needs to be uncovered. Remember when MSM did all that work instilling public trust in Bernie McCabe? We were led to believe we could always trust him for the truth of the nitty-gritty of the matter. Yea --- not so fast, there.
UPDATE : This guy did actually only GET seriously THIRTY DAYS for what was at least manslaughter (IMO)of this young man. That makes me SICK. He must be well-connected because the second judge accepted the first judge's offer but the asshole only EVER faced SIXTY days. EVER. Can you believe it? Read the story. And this, too. It's so fishy.
AND EVERYONE is in on it. Same old names everywhere you look.
And the review remains the same. Big surprise there. They make better covers than blankets.
Here's the original spin they tried to put on it ...
Read the PLEAS from his brother and family friends for justice in this case.

WHY ??
I know why and so do you.
Help me/us/his mother to stop this.
They threatened his mother with criminal liability if she talked with the press !! (she's an attorney, by the way but they still attacked her)
Open your mouth and stop cowering.
If you are assisting in this you have blood all over you no matter HOW SMALL you consider your 'role' to be. Stop covering up. Stop falsifying medical and police reports. STOP ENABLING MURDER.
STOP CHECKING OFF THOSE FUCKING BOXES asking to retain bad judges.
STOP believing in elections that are obviously false.
When people call out for help --- STOP turning your back.
Or giving your ignorant, participating UNIFIED FRONT.
You are participating in MURDER by looking the other way.
And you know it.
Just change.
It's not too late.
I see a lil soul in all of you.
It's not always gonna be someone else, see?
Your number will come up.
For those outnumbered and unthanked folks fighting the good fight: THANK YOU.

UPDATE:
An EXCERPT: I can never STAND thinking things like this go unread ....
17. Detective Mackenzie threatened and intimidated the victim’s mother the day after her son’s funeral to prevent her from speaking to the Press, attorneys or other individuals. (he's also the officer who was called at home at three in the morning and subsequently decided the "FACTS" of this murder or manslaughter.) During the weeks that followed, Sgt. Mackenzie continued to behave in an unprofessional, volatile and aggressive manner, shouting at Shawn’s distraught younger brother, Daniel McMillan and the mother of the victim on several occasions in an attempt to intimidate and to silence them.
Margaret Mackay and I met with Tarpon Springs Police Detective Allen Mackenzie on 09/06/01 (Ex.12; pg. 4-5). As Ms. Mackay looked on and I continued to take notes, Sgt. Mackenzie carefully explained that because Dan Nordmark was a member of law enforcement as a Corrections Officer, there would be an internal investigation by the Inspector General’s office. He explained that anything Dan Nordmark admitted during the investigation could not be held against him in criminal court because he would have no fifth amendment right and it would be considered compelled testimony. Then this highly aggressive police officer, who had unholstered his gun and had been waving it around in front of us, leaned forward, locked his eyes on mine and warned me several times in a threatening tone of voice that if I spoke with the press, attorneys or anyone else before the Inspector General’s investigation was completed that I would be criminally liable with criminal sanctions against me. Sgt. Mackenzie did not arrest Officer Nordmark as my son lay dying in the hospital but here he was, the day after my son’s funeral apparently threatening to arrest me, the mother of the victim if I expressed my concerns to anyone.
On at least two other occasions when my son, Daniel and I came to the police department to request a copy of the police procedures which were normally followed in the event of a shooting, Sgt. Mackenzie behaved in an unprofessional, volatile and aggressive manner, shouting and attempting to frighten us into submission. At one point, he actually yelled at me to leave the poor man, (Officer Nordmark), alone because he had been through enough. (Sgt. Mackenzie never expressed any regret or sympathy for the horrible death Shawn had suffered when the drunken Officer’s bullet destroyed his brain). On a third occasion after Daniel had called City Hall to ask for the procedures, he was told to go to the front desk of the police department and the procedures would be given to him. Daniel then proceeded to the Tarpon Springs Police Department and although he did not ask to see Sgt. Mackenzie, he was angrily greeted by him, shouted at and actually followed to the door by this irate and very aggressive Tarpon Springs police officer.
Shawn never touched Dan Nordmark’s gun and he did not shoot himself. What Sgt. Allen Mackenzie of the Tarpon Springs Police Department referred to as “Special Circumstances” apparently pervaded and controlled the incompetent, despicable and corrupt investigation into my son’s death. While Shawn’s precious young life slipped away that night, the Tarpon Springs Police showed no compassion and no sympathy for him or for the people who loved him. Were they preoccupied with an unswerving quest to protect and shield the drunken Officer as they defended their utter failure to conduct a proper and competent investigation.
What do you honestly believe would have transpired that night if you, the reader had been the one who had gone out drinking in bars with a loaded gun, became violently angry with others, and drove to the hospital with a young man bleeding to death in your backseat? (you have to read the whole thing to pick up all she talks about in this summary --- he was very very very aggressive earlier in the evening with the young lady who was the karaoke leader at one of the bars --- she stated OVER AND OVER AGAIN to "law enforcement" that she was afraid for Shawn Harrison (who died) and who had also defended her against the raging Dan Nordmark, Corrections Officer (whose gun it was which killed young Shawn Harrison) Would the Tarpon Springs police simply accept your drunken explanation that he shot himself with your gun and then allow you to simply walk away, leaving him to die with virtually no questions asked? It is highly predictable if not certain that no matter how the incident occurred, you would have been arrested, handcuffed, interrogated, incarcerated, fingerprinted, tested for gun residue and drug and alcohol tested. Your car would have been impounded and as a result of culpable negligence, you would most likely have been charged with manslaughter at the very least - murder at worst. Why were crucial police procedures ignored when the intoxicated Officer and his sister in law drove my dying son into the hospital parking lot that night?
At 2:39 hours on September 2, 2001, I was called at my residence in reference
to responding to a shooting at Helen Ellis ER with “Special Circumstances”.
Sgt. McKenzie’s written statement re: the night Shawn was shot by Officer Nordmark’s gun.
Sgt. Mackenzie closed the case within two days of Shawn’s death alleging that his fellow Law Enforcement Officer, Dan Nordmark did nothing wrong and nothing illegal that night. However, to the credit of the State Attorney’s office, Sgt. Mackenzie’s apparent efforts to convince the authorities, Press, the public and even Shawn’s own family that no crime had been committed, were ultimately and courageously ignored by the State Attorney. And nearly a year after Shawn’s death, in spite of the glaring lack of evidence supplied by Tarpon Springs police officers, Dan Nordmark and Bernie Dillman were arrested for the most obvious crimes based on their drunken actions as the weapon was loaded, cocked and fired in the parking lot of the British Pub minutes before Shawn was shot. During Officer Nordmark’s trial, two dynamic and tough prosecutors, Pat Siracusa and Dee Bartalucci, relentlessly challenged and discredited every defense presented by opposing counsel and their powerful legal arguments left no question as to the material issues of the case. They brought swift justice to the defendant who forfeited his job with the Department of Corrections and was sentenced to thirty days in jail for use of a firearm while under the influence of alcohol. Shortly before his own scheduled trial for Discharging a Firearm in public, Bernie Dillman pled guilty to a reduced charge of use of a firearm while under the influence of alcoholic beverages and was sentenced to 30 days of work release.
Still, one has to wonder what charges would have been levied had truth and justice been diligently pursued that night and had the Tarpon police questioned any credible witnesses, followed any leads, administered drug and alcohol tests, taken fingerprints and gun residue tests, impounded the car or more appropriately, had summoned Sheriff Everett Rice’s office to professionally and thoroughly investigate Shawn’s death.
Are any of the officers guilty of obstruction of justice, tampering with material evidence and acting as accessories after the fact based on their apparent efforts to assist a fellow Officer in avoiding arrest, trial or punishment? Isn’t this corrupt and illegal behavior defined as police misconduct or is it acceptable for the Tarpon Springs Police Department and other branches of law enforcement to justify what appears to be their cold, calculating and illicit actions designed to protect a fellow law enforcement officer and simply call it what it is:

Ms. Mahoney joined the swelling ranks of folks whose loved ones were murdered by those 'paid to protect'. There's noone to protect US from THEM. Except for US. You and me. We're all we've got.
Keep dividing along lines of racism, hating, parties, ideologies and whatever-else-ish-ness. I see good things in all of you. The important thing is that you're giving them what they want. By foolishly hating and ignoring your allies in the good fight against control you are allowing 'them' to 'divide and conquer'. Lots of people don't see this but I and others like me do: This is how they are doing it in America: a few at a time. It's not like we're some third-world country where they can just haul a young guy out to his mailbox and axe his arm off so he can't fight a revolution.
But that's where this is taking us.
One or two or a few at a time.
The best and the brightest.
Please see this and please help.
Don't leave these voiced isolated when they are calling for your help.

WOW, I click to the front of North Country Gazette to see if perhaps I can find out more about these people who know so much of Tampa and I find this. That's Mayor Pam's niece, Jessica. (wonder if Pam will be so anxious to claim the relationship this time as she was around "American Idol" time and when they were jailing the guy for taking a cab ride. That's NOPE and NOPE. Assault in a bar ... possession of cocaine and intro of contraband to a public facility or some such. Once, I was reading Wikipedia and there was some stuff in there about Pam Iorio's daughter being charged with assault and unable to attend her prom or homecoming but next I looked it was gone. (she was a minor at the time)... the apple doesn't fall far from the tree if this is true,
HOWEVER, the larger part of me WANTS TO say that maybe this mayor is not as bad as I think she is but I DO think she's pretty bad. How can someone NOT NOTICE that their town has fallen into utter fucking LAWLESSNESS amid the cranes??? But, if someone is undermining her this is perfect. As well, they ,aybe just waited til this chick turned 21, pissed her off while she was drinking and that was that. Took her down. No matter --- she deserves her day in court. I just wondered if the Tampa Trib will be as sure to point out the relationship in an editorial as they did in the Tampa Tribune last time.
Either way, hitting someone in the head with what sounds like a beer mug is not good politics and could do some serious damage. And, imagine me sitting here 'at this very moment' blogging on how they are getting away with murder. If they're getting away with MURDER in YOUR TOWN and YOU are the top law-enforcement officer then, guess what? You're complicit. Ignorance is no excuse of the law.
I hope everyone will be okay.
Seriously. I never liked american idol. I like people ON the show LESS. It's stupid on a stupid premise. That's how they wish they could get us to vote for Presidents and then Verizon could cut out all these fuckin middle men and just NAME the Prez, already ... stop wastin all that time on those silly memory cards, eh???
Anyway, even with all that and I couldn't tell you what I think of one, J. Sierra, American Idol finalist, except I hope she adds something BETTER THAN THAT SHIT to her resume' .... (and I heard she wasn't bad, incidentally; just not that good or that beautiful, moderate on both ---) but for all that --- she's young, the guy's probably young -- money changes hands all around. Everybody happy. Just struck me as ironic the timing, LOL
And someone should probably mention to the ELITE that they can't just go around hitting the lil people over the head and murdering them. FUCKERS.
And to the Elite wannabes and you and your boobs know who you are: Grow up.
