Re: Bizarre Story of the Day: 'Wrong IP Address' Leads to Sha q Attack on I nnocent Family

["Fergie" <fergdawg () netzero net>]

The seriously disturbing thing about this whole thing is the
sheer ridiculous, and dangerous, publicity nature of it.

First, the December 2005 article you forwarded is dateline
Miami, FLA -- it makes you wonder why in hell he would be
involved in a botched kiddie porn raid in Gretna VA (of all
places). Believe me (and as Valdis knows), I grew up in that
area of Virginia, and it's in the middle of nowhere. :-)

This whole thing sticks. Especially since it was a wrongful
intrusion on a backwoods family...

Well, that rapper gig didn't work out, neither did the acting thing. At
least 
he's looking for honest work.  Anybody police officer that big is bound to 
make a real impression on a criminal. If he needs to use a gun, let's hope 
he's better with it than with his free throws. 
Seriously, he is a reserver officer.  More noble than rapping anyday.
