Two Robbers Killed on Nostrand ave

sorry, but i don't believe the nyt reporter who says he wrested the gun away.

i agree with it, but i think the plot is to ensure youssoff drame does not face charges. and i support that.

since when did the nyt start covering these types of stories?

Yeah baby, "B" as in billions. No, corner store for these fellows, just tax dollars that our kids, kids, will be paying back.

Naomi Klein: Bailout is ‘multi-trillion-dollar crime scene’

The Bush administration has already handed out almost half of the $700 billion in bank bailout money authorized by Congress but has not even filled the mandated oversight positions to review how it is being used.

Naomi Klein, author of The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism, has described the handling of the bailout as “borderline criminal” because of this and other problems. Klein spoke to Amy Goodman of Democracy Now! on Monday to explain her accusations.

“We were all reassured that there was going to be transparency, accountability, legality,” Klein stated. “But now we’re finding out that, in fact, Henry Paulson has achieved his original goal by stealth, because there is no accountability, and lawmakers are very hesitant to challenge this. … Essentially, what the Bush administration has done is said, ‘We dare you to challenge us and be responsible for the Great Depression.’”

Klein sees three areas of borderline illegality. The first is that rather than being used to get banks lending again, the bailout money “is instead going to bonuses, is instead going to dividends, going to salaries, going to mergers.”

The second is that, without Congressional authorization, “the Treasury Department pushed through a tax windfall for the banks, a piece of legislation that allows the banks to save a huge amount of money when they merge with each other. And the estimate is that this represents a loss of $140 billion worth of tax revenue for the US government.”

(2) "He was planning/thinking of going back to school"
(3) "His child was the most important thing in his life"

Oh well, at least they quoted the inevitable "he was a good person" line.

I can't say it will matter to me. When you rob a store with a gun, sometimes does not go as planned. (sometimes you get caught, sometimes you only get $12) ...it seems that they had the misfortune of robbing the wrong guy, and "got dead".

I'm ok with them being dead, even if they were perfect before this. Most robbers don't get the death penalty for robbing (and I'm not an advocate of the death penalty for robbery), but I have nothing against it being a risk.
