I am not real familiar with the situation, there are canals, pond. Lakes that interconnect through the disney property. Wouldnt be unusual for alligators to move from one body of water to the next.

This is a train wreck waiting to happen one officer wrote announcing he was quitting the cia. But director george tenet assured the white house, socalled enhanced interrogation techniques enabled cia to disrupt terrorist plots, capture additional terrorists and collect critical intelligence on al qaeda. The first al qaeda prisoner to be water boarded was abu zebeta, a draft memo shows before the water board being gain, the cia wanted attorney general John Ashcroft to state in write he would not prosecute anyone for what they were about to do.

The judge who is under fire for sentencing a Stanford University swimmer to just six months for Sexual Assault has been blocked from a similar case. Prosecutors objected to the judge in the trial of a nurse charged with attacking an unconscious patient. Reporter the Santa Clara County das office took unusual step of removing judge aaron persky from a new Sexual Assault case. We lack confidence that judge persky can fairly participate in the upcoming hearing. Comes after a local newspaper published a scathing letter from one of 12 jurors in the brock turner case who unanimously convicted the stanford student on three counts of felony Sexual Assault. When persky handed down a six month sentence, the unnamed juror called it ridiculously lenient adding it makes a mockery of the trial and ability of the Justice System to protect victims of assault and rape. Justice has not been served in this case, the juror continued. Shame on you. This is someone who is very frustrated the judges sentence doesnt fit what they believe they reached the verdict in the case. Law professor Laurie Levinson said jurors rarely speak out like this. Even more out of the ordinary amount of public backlash persky received forcing the da to act. There is a rationale basis for the District Attorney to say, that came out of the blue. We cannot take another chance at A Brock Turner type of result. We want him off these types of cases. Perskys problems are unlikely to end here. Last week a womens Rights Advocacy Group Calling for perskys removal delivered nearly 1 million online signatures to the state commission on judicial performance. The Santa Clara County District Attorneys office handles 40,000 cases a year, but scott, the das office tells me last year, they only requested to have a judge removed less than 10 times.

President obama said it is just crazy to allow someone on a terrorist no fly list to buy a gun. And now the nra says it agrees. The group which supports donald trump for president , now says anyone on a terror watch list who tries to buy a gun should be thoroughly investigated and the sale delayed. While that investigation is under way. The nra also wants people to be able to get their names off of the terror watch list. Right now there is no mechanism for that. Nancy cordes reports from the campaign trail. He said i will abolish the second amendment. Thats wrong. Reporter clinton said he favors a return to restrictions for people on the no fly list. People being watched for suspected terrorist links can buy a gun with no questions asked. That is absurd.
