Texas Thug Police Department Rob Strip Club of Money and “Fun” Tokens

After a little city planning shuffling, the people of Edinburg, Texas, found themselves now having jurisdiction over a wonderful establishment called the Jaguar’s Club (*read: titty bar*).

Edinburg strip clubs operate under a very strict set of operational codes and because the Jaguar’s Club does not comply with Edinburg’s zoning policy, management has long been suspicious of the city’s effort in trying to strong arm their way into forcing  to them close down.

Though the club’s owners claim that they were grandfathered in during the annexation the police department has targeted the business as part of a harassment campaign.

In a lawsuit filed against Edinburg police Chief Rolando Castañeda, the owners accused the police department of robbing the place during an August 18 drug raid which turned up no drugs but left the club short on $10K of cash and redeemable ‘fun tokens’ used as “gifts” at the strip club. Laptops, files, electronic devices and an employee’s wallet were also confiscated and never returned even after the police conducted their search for drugs and found none.

The prosecution lawsuit mentions the additional items confiscated during the raid were not covered by the search warrant and therefore the police had no right to seize them.

Django Unchained: No Thanks, I’ll Pass

Hollywood has again deigned to allocate space for a movie set during slavery to be disseminated for public consumption. It has debuted to mostly positive reviews and a massive PR machine is doing its best to make sure everyone takes in the movie for the “holidays”.  Which is what they should do because its a [...]

Django Unchained Isn’t About Martin Luther King Jr.

OK, let’s get something straight: Django Unchained is not about Martin Luther King Jr, nor is it the black version of the epic The Birth Of A Nation. However, it’s a very timely film. I doubt very seriously whether it was Quenten Tarrantiino’s intent to spark a conversation on race. But with his new movie [...]

NC Tea Party Hosts “Great American Gun Giveaway” As Purchases Spike

It has been almost a week since the Shady Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. Ironically, even as funerals are being held for the victims, assault weapons like the AR-15 Bushmaster used in the shooting are selling like hot cakes. Yep, amid the talk of a federal assault weapons ban and a tightening up [...]

Would we be Mad at the NRA if Adam Lanza was Shot by the Newtown, CT. Police?

So I’m wondering: Would we be mad at the NRA if Adam Lanza was shot by the police? Seriously, think about that one for a second before answering. Anyway, I just found out that the 12-year-old daughter of one of my wife’s former co-workers committed suicide yesterday — she hung herself. Yes, she was twelve years [...]

Gun Control: If Only We Could Be Spearchuckers Again

Way back in the day, well before we were known as Niggers, Negroes, and subsequently African-Americans, we were known as Spearchuckers. It was meant as a derogatory term as did most other terms used to describe Blacks of African descent in America. But you know what? I do not think Spearchucker is a bad term. [...]
