Wow would you look at all this verbal jabbing? I honestly think half the people on the board don't know shit about the case but to see some of the more informed participating in this banter really sickens me. Aw I'm just kidding, have at it. As George W once proclaimed "Mission Accomplished!"

<quoted text> I appreciate what you're saying, Ole South, and I agree. But as is the case with any profession, there are those who are conscientious and those who are not. Sometimes it's very hard not to call some people "stupid".
I am currently reading Vincent Bugliosi's book "Helter Skelter" (a really excellent book, btw). He tells of a 10-year-old boy, Steven Weiss, who lived not far from the Tate residence, finding a gun in his garden one day approximately two weeks after the murders. This little boy had been watching TV and understood the importance of handling the gun correctly, so he picked it up very carefully by the tip of the barrel so as not to eradicate any prints and showed it to his dad who called the police.
Steven later related how, when the cop arrived and handled the gun, he touched it all over with both hands and removed the cartridges from the cylinder. Then he took the gun away, booked it into evidence and apparently never gave it a second thought. In the meantime the Tate investigators were frantically searching for the gun and may never have found it had Bernard Weiss, Steven's dad, not put two and two together. However, when he called LAPD homicide and told his story, their attitude was pretty much dismissive. It was only after he called a newscaster friend of his who called a connection in LAPD, that the gun was finally located THREE AND A HALF MONTHS later.
Stupid cop? In that case, definitely. That little ten-year-old boy had more sense.

Hi, Lynette: First I'd like to tell you how beautiful your(?) kitties are! It gives me an urge to reach out and stroke them! Regardless of all the pokes at me for saying so, I am a cat-lover and don't mind saying so! I love dogs, too (I lost my Cocker Spaniel whe she was 17 and just haven't had the heart to get another one) but cats are really my love. We've always had pets of some sort in the family.
And I hope I wasn't too harsh in my response to your post. Friday nite, when our police officer was killed, all three TV stations kept abreast of the story as it unfolded and it was nerve wrenching to see all this right on your TV -- especially knowing a crazed gunman was on the loose shooting at everything in sight. And the entire chase/capture lasted some 3 hours!
Also, it brought to mind a similar incident involving two officers who were seriously wounded some time ago and I had to go to the hospital to get statements from each of them, shortly before their wounds had even been treated! It did bring back some terrible memories along with the horror of the scene unfolding before our eyes!
Since this was all still fresh in my mind, I probably was a bit too critical in my response to you. I do understand what you were saying and even though police officers today definitely are more educated and qualified for the job, there still are some, just like everywhere, who don't always use good judgment all the time. But, hey, they are only human and humans aren't perfect.
Since I mentioned Patricia Krenwinkle, I saw her while she was confined in our jail. She was really a rough-looking character, having long, wild hair, heavy dark eyebrows, and a coarse appearance in general. I was told she would lie around in her bunk with no underwear, wearing only a jail smock. I also was told she had a dark growth of hair over her body, which was said due to the drugs she had been on. In short, she was definitely someone I wouldn't want to come across at night on a dark street, LOL.
I do hope I didn't offend you with the tone of my post.

<quoted text> Hi Ole South. I wasn't in the least offended by your comments to me. You weren't harsh at all. I think most people feel outraged when good, decent police officers are murdered in the line of duty by worthless thugs who are not assets to society and not deserving of the air they breathe. You would feel it more than most as you worked in a police department for so many years and therefore got to know them as people. Watching a situation as you described unfold as it's happening brings home the true horror of it all and would obviously evoke strong feelings. Had I seen it, I'd have felt the same as you.
You're lucky Patricia Krenwinkle didn't escape while she was in jail in your area :). Seriously though, she was an awful person, they all were. It's mentioned in the book that she was very hairy to the extent that it actually put the guys off. I didn't know it was due to the drugs she'd been taking. Yuk!
Yes, that kitty is mine. She's very cute. She knows what time I get home from work in the afternoon and sits in the garden waiting for me. As my car comes up the driveway, she runs over like a little dog, maiowing and welcoming me home. It's very touching. I'm sorry about your spaniel. 17 is a very good age for a dog, but their lives are too short and it's heart-wrenching when we have to say goodbye. I also grew up in a home which always had pets. I couldn't imagine living without them.

Good Morning', Lynette. I'm so glad to hear from you. I was just going to send you a PM to see if you saw my post. So, thank you for your kindness.
I know what you mean about your kitty waiting for you. My Pi, my inside/outside kitty, does the same. It's funny how she acts. She'll wait next door for my car to come in, then she'll meet me at our side door and after rubbing on the bannisters, she then runs to the front door. She's so funny! She won't come in the side door with me, so I have to go through the house and let her in the FRONT DOOR, lol.
And my cocker -- she was so beautiful -- a lovely blonde with big brown eyes. She was so-o-o protective of me. Every time anyone came to the house, she would jump in my lap or stay at my side and no one dared to come near me! She slept on the foot of my bed and if there was ever a strange sound, she would sit up and growl. I couldn't have asked for a more protective, loving companion.
IMO, the entire Manson gang should never be considered for parole. In fact, it's very disturbing when I read that one or another of them is coming up for parole. They are lucky they all didn't get the death penalty.
And as for the police officer, his funeral was yesterday and had to have been the most touching, impressive event I've ever witnessed. The procession was over 10 miles long, consisting of law enforcement from all over the Southeast and as far away as Chicago. Although with the Department for only two years, the officer had been active in coaching Little League Football and had played for one of the local high school teams. One of the most touching scenes was along the boulevard where I was watching, each member of the present football team stood, carrying a flag of the individual states, thus 50 young boys lined the roadside, each holding a state flag. And above them was a H-U-G-E American flag, hoisted high in the air between two Fire Department ladder trucks, while even more officers stood at attention...All a very chilling sight and a wonderful tribute to him and for his family.

....
From what you described, I can believe that the police officer's funeral procession must have been extremely moving to watch. I felt moved just reading your account of it. For his family, it must have been tremendously comforting to know that their loved one was that much appreciated. I hope his killer gets the harshest possible sentence.

Ahh, that was a refreshing release of pent up frustration. I am sure noticed that I was using words (fat, old, etc.) that have been used in reference to OS and myself. Actually, you and other RDIs encourage this behavior. I thought it would feel good to give y'all a taste of your own medicine, and it did feel good to just retaliate in like...
Capricorn seems to be the "queen RDI bee" and the rest of your group are more or less the "wannabes". Have you read that book? It's about bullying with regard to pre-adolescent to adolescent-aged girls. I use it as resource for a club that I have organized with our school counselor. The behaviors exhibited by you and your "friends" exemplify the theories presented in the book, but you all are GROWN women.

Anyway, at the time of the post I thought Capricorn was the meanest in the group. Although, I'm not sure I feel the same way now. You seem to do her "dirty work", and she sits back cheering you on. So, I guess you may be the most malicious of all the posters here. Eh, it's a toss up b/w you, RT and Capricorn....but she's still your mis-"leader".

Yes, she is a sweetheart! She will be 15 years old in two months, and I could tell you a lot of stories about her. She's a black and white manx and I almost didn't adopt her because she had no tail! But I felt sorry for her, think she might be put to sleep if no one adopted her, so I did. I've never regreted it for one minute. Like I said, she is really a sweetheart and has given me much joy.
One more thing about the funeral procession, I've never seen anything like it before and I've seen several. Afterwards, it was reported to be the largest funeral ever held in the state. I can vouch for it being the most impressive. Whoever planned it did a tremendous job. It was so well thought out, down to the last detail, like, when after the 21-gun salute, 3 white doves were released into the clear blue sky.
As for the killer, when he kept firing and refused to surrender, even after having been bombarded with tear gas, a SWAT team finally took him out. I hate to sound so hard hearted, but all I could think of was, "What took them so long?"

No, can't say as I have ever read that book and don't think I need to. Perhaps you should read it again and let it sink it.

If you are thinking anybody believes you are a teacher, you are delusional.

What has this to do with the case? I thought you only wanted case discussion.

Don't you think I didn't know this? The thing was, there were dozens of cats brought in for adoption and when choosing a cat/kitten most people don't know any better than to look for ones with big, long, bushy tails. So there was a chance that she would not be among those chosen for adoption.
I doubt seriously if there is anything you can tell me about cats that I don't already know. Both the four-legged and two-legged kind... I've had lots of experience with both.

No mention of the word TO me. Even a second grader knows the difference between the two words.
