Do Somthing...

 

Federal Court Judge Robin Camp was a provincial court judge in a case involving a 19-year-old woman who said she was raped over a sink during a house party.

Camp asked the victim "why didn't you just sink your bottom down into the basin so he couldn't penetrate you" and "why couldn't you just keep your knees together?" He suggested if she moved her pelvis, she could have avoided him.

He also said, "wom[e]n want to have sex, particularly if they're drunk" and “sex and pain sometimes go together [...] that’s not necessarily a bad thing.”

Camp has since apologized and said he didn't receive training on sex assault cases prior to the case, CNN reports.

The Canadian Judicial Council will decide if Camp will be dismissed over the comments. The story as reported is very limited and some details are deliberately not reported.

Just a thought. 

Value...

The talk-show celebrity and 10% owner of Weight Watchers has seen $117 million in wealth vanished as shares have crashed 66% from their high notched November 2015.

Shares of Weight Watchers are down another  7%,  after the company said it is replacing its CEO. 

Reality is setting now as things haven't worked out as many investors hoped after Winfrey formed close professional ties with the company in October 2015.

But the level of enthusiasm is proving in hindsight to have been much overdone. The company's revenue during the just completed second-quarter of $309.8 million is flat with a year ago, although profit is up 9.3%. The company lost $10.8 million in the first quarter.

Oprah Winfrey's halo effect on Weight Watchers (WTW) is disappearing fast.

New Low...

Notre Dame Cathedral

Three women were arrested in connection with gas cylinders found inside a car left in front of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. One of the women had a letter in her purse swearing allegiance to ISIS.

In the letter, she said she was answering the call of one of the highest-ranking figures in ISIS, who was killed in late August.

The letter also said that "I am attacking you in your lands in order to terrorize you," according to the prosecutor.

Describing the women as radicalized, the three were likely planning an "imminent and violent" attack, French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said after their arrests near Paris.

A police officer was injured in the shoulder when one woman attacked him with a knife in Boussy-Saint-Antoine, southeast of Paris. The injury was not life-threatening.

The minister said the women are 19, 23 and 39. CNN affiliate BFMTV said the owner of the car reported two daughters as missing and they were arrested. 
This is a new low.             Just a thought.

Legal?

He was born the son of a prince. He boasts that his companies developed multimillion-dollar properties across the globe — from St. Lucia to Southern California to the Middle East.

His sprawling, 8,000-square-foot home in Russell Township, Ohio, complete with horses and an in-ground swimming pool, and the sports cars attest to the lifelong success of Ali Pascal Mahvi.

Yet there he was, waiting his turn, a prince becoming a pauper, asking for food stamps in Geauga County, Ohio. And, he got for himself, his wife, and their three adult children.
For two years, the family was handed about $300 a month in government food stamps. They also wanted help to pay their gas and electric bills. And Medicaid. 

Detectives are now looking at Mahvi’s myriad bank accounts, trying to piece together his family’s total worth as they investigate potential theft as well as Medicaid and welfare fraud charges.
“It’s outrageous to see a situation where somebody is living in a house almost worth a million dollars, a horse barn, driving luxury cars, have millions of dollars in overseas bank accounts and here they are accepting this type of assistance,” said Geauga County Prosecutor James R. Flaiz.
“Certainly, they were very good at manipulating the system.”

Mahvi, reached by phone, adamantly denied any wrongdoing. He said he is "not a wealthy man" and that the investigation "is all a misunderstanding."
He said despite his appearance of wealth, he was and is eligible for aid. 

Sad story. Just a thought.

Swiss Cheese?

A Customs and Border Protection officer has been arrested on suspicion of allowing unauthorized immigrants into the U.S. in exchange for sexual favors and money.

Jose Cota, an officer at the San Ysidro Port of Entry, was arrested along with alleged co-conspirators.
Cota, 50,  has been on duty for 15 years.  He allowed Juarez-Herrera and Aguilar-Martinez, a married Mexican couple, to illegally smuggle people from Mexico into the U.S. through his vehicle inspection lane on four occasions. 

Cota admitted during an interview with FBI agents that in exchange he received sexual favors from Juarez-Herrera, according to the complaint. Bank records show Cota also received large amounts of cash deposited into his bank account.

Juarez-Herrera and Aguilar-Martinez were pulled over in San Marcos by a sheriff’s deputy for traffic violations. Two undocumented immigrants, who Juarez-Herrera later admitted she had smuggled hours earlier, were also taken into custody.

We need better border protection.       Just a thought.
