That time you�re driving in Virginia and the Attorney General spots a group of people in front of a police precinct showing their support for the police.

AG to FBI Detail: �Can we make a quick U-Turn? I want to jump out and thank those people.�

Watch!

Two police officers in Chicago lost their life this weekend defending businesses during an onslaught of looting. I�m tired of the lack of respect for authority, and law and order. Life under democrats is a dangerous hell.

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

Hundreds of people poured into the streets in the wee hours of Monday morning, and police said they smashed windows, looted stores, and confronted law enforcement.

Good grief!

Another man was killed Sunday in Marquette Park on the Southwest Side.

Officers responding to reports of gunfire at 2:59 a.m. found the 31-year-old man unresponsive on a porch in the 6700 block of South Maplewood Avenue, police said. He was shot multiple times and taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was pronounced dead.-- excerpt, rest at link above --
