Treatment. Tell him to cut it out. The shooting happened days after she asked for the restraining order. Im glad she has received justice. It has been a long time coming. She has been very brave. I think again as was resonated through the trial no one is above the law. Especially Police Officers. Reporter he was with the Police Department for more than 10 years. His attorney tried unsuccessfully to argue for a new trial. We are disappointed with the verdict. More importantly we were disappointed with the results of the new trial motion. Reporter the judge called his actions extremely irrational callous and mindlessly dangerous. He asked the officer if he had anything to say. Goodner said no. You could hear the emotion in her voice when she was talking about what happened. He allegedly he fired through the bedroom and how many shots were fired . She is lucky she wasnt hit. Reporter she was sleeping at the time. He fired many shots. She easily could have been killed. I can tell you that
Mentioned i think its always fun when you can put documents together that casts several different lights, several different kinds of light on the same event and sometimes even the same person saying something differently at different points in time. A little example of that for example, in hemingways novel about the war for whom the bell tolls, the central episode in that novel the blowing up of the bridge behind nationalist lines, hemingway himself part in a. That lou up the bridge and i tell that story in the book. Anyway in that novel he paints an excoriating picture of stalins man who was in charge of the international brigades. When the book appeared in this country, the communist press was outraged because they had expected hemingways muchanticipated book about the war would be about workingclass men from Different Countries standing shouldertoshoulder in the fight against fascism and the hero is a lover of Spanish Literature who is nonpolitical and heres this portrait of stalins
It should have been an obvious question because nationalist spain has no oil, hitler and mussolini which were supporting it or importers, not exporters. It would have been very difficult and expensive for them to supply the oil. What was the major source of oil in the world at this point . The United States, especially texas. As it turned out general franco was getting most of his oil from texaco which had a ceo at that point to buy a name who was basically a fascist sympathizer. He not only supplied franco with most of his oil throughout the war, but he violated u. S. Law in several ways by sending it to him. American law said that anything traveling to a country at war could not travel on american ships. Nationalists had no oil tank so he loaded the oil onto texaco tankers at the texaco pipelines and off it went to spain and the sea where the ships were found for amsterdam and the captains would open c sealed orders redirecting them to spain. That was the first violation of u. S. Law
