Police beat for Dec. 22, 2008

Man thrown from motorcycle dies
An Ocala man died Saturday when he was thrown from his motorcycle after hitting a curb.
Manuel Ramirez, 27, was driving his 2003 Suzuki motorcycle west on Northwest 7th Street at about 9:40 p.m. as he approach the intersection at Northwest 27th Avenue, according to an Ocala Police Department report.
The intersection is a T intersection and Northwest 7th Street does not continue past Northwest 27th Avenue. Police say Ramirez was driving at a high rate of speed and did not stop at the intersection's stop sign. Instead, he drove into the intersection and hit the curb, ejecting himself from his vehicle. He was not wearing a helmet.
He was taken to Munroe Regional Medical Center and pronounced deceased. This brings the total of fatal crashes in the City of Ocala to 11 for the year.
The Ocala Police Department would not give any additional information about the crash or the nature of the injuries, saying only it was an ongoing investigation.

Oh, oh dkdjskldfjsdkalj ;-; I am very, very new to this character, but your stories have made me ache for him, and now I really, really need to read more comics with Tommy... must find more of this character... and Molly was just wonderful, and just... thank you. Seriously. Thank you.
| Ace7 chapter 1 . 7/7/2012
And as she walked hand in hand with Tommy, Molly began scheming of ways to convince Nico to let her keep him.
Lol. Best Molly line ever.
I think Wiccan does care about his twin, as much as you can care about someone you've known for a year or less (though considering this is Billy maybe even a bit more) though how well he would fit with the Runaways can't be denied.
All in all good job.
| North Caskett chapter 1 . 7/4/2012
Sad but I feel this is Tommy's inner self in a nut shell.
| Kairan1979 chapter 1 . 6/20/2012
Thank you! There are never enough stories with Tommy and Molly.
It makes sense that only Molly Hayes (who is seriously underestimated by her teammates) realizes what happened to Tommy (who was seriously misjudged by HIS teammates).
P.S. If only Molly punched Eli through the roof after he put the foot into his mouth again!

Numerous news outlets -- including the Los Angeles Times, ABC, CNN, and CNBC -- uncritically reported President Bush's false claim that Democrats oppose "listening to," "detaining," "questioning," and "trying the terrorists." In fact, Democrats have repeatedly acknowledged the need to eavesdrop on, detain, question, and try terrorists, while objecting to specific Bush administration antiterrorism policies that they consider to be violations of current U.S. or international law, or unwarranted expansions of presidential powers.
In a segment on whether Osama bin Laden will release a propaganda tape prior to the midterm elections -- as he did two years ago -- NBC's Lisa Myers omitted any discussion of bin Laden's motivations in releasing the 2004 message, which the CIA reportedly determined to be an effort to assist in the re-election of President Bush.
On Fox News Sunday, Michael Barone falsely claimed that Democrats would prefer to "hang up the phone and go to court," rather than "listening to what ... terrorists are plotting." In fact, Democrats -- and numerous Republicans and conservatives -- have said nothing of the sort, pointing to a provision in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which the Bush administration has apparently violated, that allows the government to undertake surveillance in emergency situations for up to 72 hours before obtaining a warrant.
ABC's Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos juxtaposed actor Michael J. Fox's recent campaign advertisement for Missouri Democratic Senate candidate Claire McCaskill with the Republican National Committee's (RNC) new advertisement featuring clips of Osama bin Laden and other terrorists making threats against the United States. Roberts claimed Fox's ad is "raising a lot of eyebrows," but she did not note that Fox, who has Parkinson's disease, has endorsed McCaskill because she supports embryonic stem cell research. Introducing the RNC ad, Stephanopoulos asserted that Republicans have a "big card" to play on "terrorism," but recent polling is mixed on whether the public trusts Democrats or Republicans more on dealing with terrorism.
CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC dedicated a considerable amount of airtime to a purported threat to NFL stadiums in seven cities, despite the fact that the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI both characterized the threat as not credible. Further, with one brief exception, at no point was there any reference on any of the three channels to evidence that the Bush administration has used terrorism-related announcements for political gain.
Loading the player leg...
At an October 11 press conference, President Bush said he "question[s]" what he claims is the Democratic "strategy that says we can't give those on the front line of fighting terrorism the tools necessary to fight terrorism." As evidence of this alleged "strategy," Bush pointed to Democratic votes against the Military Commissions Act of 2006, which addresses the interrogation and treatment of detainees and procedures for their trials, and their votes against a bill to authorize warrantless domestic wiretaps. None of the reporters present challenged Bush's attacks on those who opposed the bills or asked him to name a Democrat who opposes the authorization of "the tools necessary to fight terrorism."
In an interview with former Bush administration lawyer John Yoo, National Public Radio's Steve Inskeep failed to challenge Yoo's many assertions on the recently passed terror detainee bill, including the claim that a U.S. citizen captured in the United States and detained as an "enemy combatant" would have the "right," under this law, to challenge his or her detention in federal court.
On Special Report, Fox News' Major Garrett falsely suggested that the House's approval of a bill to govern detention and interrogations of U.S. detainees would allow all detainees to challenge their detention in court. In fact, the bill does not provide a procedure for a person who the government initially held as an enemy combatant but is subsequently determined not to be an "enemy combatant" or deemed release-eligible to appeal to a civilian court.
Los Angeles Times staff writer James Gerstenzang reported that the recently released National Intelligence Estimate said "that the militant movement opposing U.S. forces in Iraq had grown stronger." In fact, the NIE found that the Iraq war has boosted terrorist recruitment worldwide. By downplaying the NIE's judgments, Gerstenzang failed to provide proper context for the Democratic criticism noted in the article and added credence to President Bush's recent attack on those critics.
NBC's David Gregory claimed that "no one questions whether this president has been tough on terror," and that "Democrats charge the U.S. is creating more terrorists because of Iraq." But several reports have called into question Bush's "toughness" in the war on terrorism, and contrary to Gregory's suggestion that only Democrats are claiming "the U.S. is creating more terrorists because of Iraq," that assertion is one of the "key judgments" of recently declassified portions of the April 2006 National Intelligence Estimate.
OpinionJournal.com editor James Taranto cited a 1998 memo to then-President Bill Clinton titled "Bin Ladin Preparing to Hijack US Aircraft and Other Attacks" to claim that Clinton ignored evidence of the danger Al Qaeda posed to the United States. However, the 9-11 Commission detailed an immediate and aggressive response to the memo by the Clinton administration.
On NBC's Today, discussing the recent dispute between the Clinton and Bush administrations over which administration has better handled the terrorism threat, Bill Bennett falsely claimed that President Clinton was the one who "brought ... up" the topic of his administration's anti-terror efforts. In fact, the recent dispute between the Clinton and Bush administrations grew out of Clinton's Fox News interview, during which host Chris Wallace first brought up the subject by asking Clinton why he did not "do more to put [Osama] bin Laden and Al Qaeda out of business."
In reports on the dispute over the Bush and Clinton administrations' anti-terrorism policies and their culpability in failing to prevent the September 11 terrorist attacks, the Associated Press and Newsday presented the two sides of the argument without exploring the factual basis for either.

Jodie Foster brought some to tears when she spoke of her ailing mother during her revealing Golden Globes speech Sunday night – and, backstage, the actress continued to praise her.
"My mom is an amazing inspiration for me," Foster told reporters in the press room after her speech, in which she opened up about her family life with her two sons and ex-partner Cydney Bernard for the first time publicly.
"She picked me up from school and took me to see foreign films, sometimes two or three, and she wouldn't let me do my homework because she really wanted me to see movies. She passed that along to me, and I am grateful that she wanted me to be respected."
"That was her number one goal for me," Foster continued, "and I think that permeated my early career."
Foster explained that her own mom prepared her repeatedly for a career that would be fleeting, telling her it would be over at 18 and then again at 40 and asking her to consider life after acting. Fortunately, the work never evaporated.

No Unified Front on Russia
Center Global, a program of The DC Center, the city's LGBT community center, welcomed about 30 people into the center's U Street space last night for the "Center Global Discussion on Russian LGBT Equality Issues." For roughly an hour and a half, an expert panel on LGBT rights in Russia offered a sophisticated breakdown of the situation that exists in light of that country's new anti-LGBT law that forbids "propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations." While the conversation was long on legal background and sharp insight, it was short on agreement or any clear advisement to LGBT activists in the West hoping for a unified action on behalf of their oppressed Russian counterparts.
"There's obviously been a lot of engagement with the International Olympic Committee," noted Mark Bromley, council chair of The Council for Global Equality, citing a petition effort by AllOut.org and Athlete Ally, asking the IOC to take strong action to protect LGBT people at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. "In terms of the Olympic Boycott issues ... we're sort of, at this point, taking our guidance from the Russian LGBT Network, which put out a very strong statement saying, 'Speak Up, Don't Walk Out.' ... We take that statement very seriously and are not supporting a boycott."
Similarly, Bromley's organization also cautions that a boycott of Stolichnaya vodka - the national origins of which are one of the points of friction among those activists looking for ways to help Russia's LGBT community - may have unwelcome repercussions for the LGBT community in Latvia, where the vodka is produced for sale outside Russia.
Echoing the question that so many are asking - and answering with multiple petitions, boycott efforts, counter-boycott efforts and urgent letters to various officials - Larry Poltavtsev, a Russian-American with the Spectrum Human Rights Alliance, detailed the buildup to the extremely hostile environment in Russia and asked, "What can we do about that? Well, I've been meeting with the State Department today as well and we've been talking largely about that and we need to have certain programs in place, we need to have certain messages to the Russian public. ... This is hard. It's much easier to boycott vodka, which is a great marketing tool, I think. At least that gives us an opportunity to attract the general public's attention to the problem. So I'm not necessarily saying this is a bad idea, even though there may be certain repercussions. At least we've managed to attract public attention to this problem using this as a tool."
Speaking with Bromley and Poltavtsev on the Thursday evening panel were Innokenty Grekov of Human Rights First, and Matthew Schaaf of Freedom House, who also had much to share regarding issues such as asylum, human-rights organizations within Russia, the years-long buildup to the situation as it exists now, etc.
Despite the vast breadth of knowledge the four collectively represent, the emphasis at Thursday's forum was on there being no simple solution for challenging the Russian crackdown. As the event neared its end, however, a recent émigré from Russia arrived, delayed by his late train from New York. Though unidentified due to consideration of his immigration status, the young man offered soft-spoken yet intense comment in Russian, translated for the audience by Poltavtsev.
"The first wish that the LGBT community expresses in Russia is that -- and this is what they expect as international involvement from other nations -- is that every trip that Mr. Putin makes abroad they wish that he would be greeted in the same way as he was greeted in the Netherlands," the young man said, as translated by Poltavtsev, who noted April protests against Putin in Amsterdam.
