BRUCE A. BRENNAN BLOG FROM THE WORLD AND MY MIND
The news as I see it and the views as I want them.
September 2 is … National Beheading Day
At this moment many people would love to invite former Vice-President Dick Cheney to a beheading, his own. Even bitter old men who cannot live out of the limelight get to write a book. If you do not like it or think you will not enjoy what is in it, do not buy it or read it.
This is just what the NBA needs while they are shut down over a labor dispute. Many of the criminals, including accused murderers, in the NBA do not feel being paid in excess of ten million dollars a year is unacceptable. Former NBA player Javaris Crittenton, who was suspended from the league for having guns in a locker room with teammate Gilbert Arenas, was arrested Monday in Southern California to face a murder charge in a deadly Atlanta shooting, an attorney said Monday.
Crittenton was taken into custody at about 8 p.m. at John Wayne Airport in Orange County after checking in for a Delta Air Lines flight to Atlanta, FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said. Eimiller said he was arrested without incident by FBI agents with assistance from the Orange County Sheriff's Department.
Authorities were trying to determine whether Crittenton will make an initial appearance in federal court, or be taken directly to Atlanta to face state charges there.
"He offered to turn himself in," Lawyer Brian Steel told The Associated Press earlier Monday. "He's not guilty. We look forward to getting it to the courts." Blah-blah-blah, lie, lie lie.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution first reported that Crittenton planned to surrender in Atlanta. Police earlier obtained a murder warrant for Crittenton in the Aug. 19 shooting of 22-year-old Jullian Jones, a mother of four young children. Police say Jones was walking with two men when she was shot and they believe one of the men with her was the target.
Police spokesman Carlos Campos on Friday said the motive appears to be retaliation for a robbery in April, in which Crittenton was a victim. When asked earlier Friday about Steel's statement that Crittenton planned to surrender, Atlanta police didn't confirm it. "Mr. Crittenton is wanted for murder," Sgt. Curtis Davenport said late Monday. "We will be pleased when he is taken into our custody in a peaceful manner."
When he was with the Washington Wizards in December 2009, Crittenton and Arenas had a dispute over a card game on a team flight. Two days later, Arenas brought four guns to the locker room and set them in front of Crittenton's locker with a sign telling him to "PICK 1." Crittenton then took out his own gun. Crittenton pleaded guilty in January 2010 to a misdemeanor gun charge and received a year of unsupervised probation. Arenas entered his guilty plea on Jan. 15. He served a short time in a halfway house.
Steel said he was retained by Crittenton's family on Monday morning, and was in contact with Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard and the FBI Fugitive Task Force to make arrangements for the former player's arrest. "They asked that he come to Atlanta, and we said 'no problem,'" Steel said. Wonder why he went to California then. Is he directionally challenged or just stupid or is the lawyer just a liar? Many lawyers need to learn to say nothing rather than say something so ridiculous they lose credibility.
Crittenton is on the roster of the NBA developmental league's Dakota Wizards, waiting for the labor dispute to end so he can sign with an NBA team or maybe not.
President Obama would not take on the Republican party debate head to head so e moved his big speech about jobs to Thursday night. Now he is taking on the opening night of the NFL season and the Green Bay Packers. He has mentioned how important the job situation is and how it has to be dealt with swiftly; of course that was months ago and he announced this speech over five weeks ago. If is so important why did he wait and why didn’t he move it to Tuesday and not conflict with any major TV event? Just wondering? We need a fighter in the White House not an apologetic wimp made out of clay capable of being molded by his opposition.
Just a couple of thoughts I had and you should too or at least think about.
