Assault Brassiere ban NOW!!!

MOSCOW (AP) -- Russian investigators say a woman in East Siberia has strangled an elderly neighbor to death with her bra.

The Investigative Committee in Buryatia said in a statement on Tuesday that the 26-year-old woman from the town of Zakamensk, just miles north off the border with Mongolia, has been charged with murder.

Investigators say the woman was drunk on a July evening when she and her boyfriend called on their 65-year-old neighbor for money to buy drinks. Angry that he refused to lend them money, the woman punched him in the face and tried to strangle him with her hands, before taking off her bra and strangling him with it, they say.

The woman is now in custody awaiting the end of the probe, investigators say. Her name was not released.

Chicago Crime: Putting the Pieces Together
http://www.chicagomag.com/Chicago-Ma...eces-Together/



People can swap guns for cash this week through a program aimed at getting weapons off Detroit streets.

The police department will buy guns 9:30 a.m.-3 p.m. Thursday at St. Cecilia Catholic Church, 10400 Stoepel, near Livernois and Grand River. Unloaded weapons will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, no questions asked, officials said Tuesday.

Payments will vary -- up to $50 for an operational weapon, up to $100 for two or more operational weapons, up to $100 for an assault weapon (with a limit of $200), up to $25 for a long gun and up to $25 for any non-operational weapons. The money will be distributed at the church when a weapon is turned in.

At the same event, the department will offer free vehicle etching. The owner must have proper ownership documents.

RIGHT TO CARRY TOWN HALL MEETING

"I would like to extend an invitation for you to join me at my upcoming Right to Carry Town Hall Meeting presented by IllinoisCarry.com.

49 states have concealed carry provisions for law-abiding citizens which recognize the right to carry a defensive firearm for personal and family protection. That means that 49 states have some form of right to carry law in place.

Illinois is the last and only state to prohibit carrying a firearm for personal protection; it is also a felony to do so.

If you have questions or concerns about the Right to Carry, I invite you to please come to this important meeting and present your questions to the panel of experts who will be on hand to address this important issue. If you find Illinois laws regarding self-defense alarming and you want Illinois to join the rest of the nation, come find out what you can do about it!

The event is Thursday, September 13th, 2012 from 6-8 p.m. It will be held at the VFW, which is located at 309 McKinley St. in Morris.

Please pass on the word to anyone you think may be interested. See you on the 13th!

Sincerely,

Pam Roth

State Representative – 75th District"
