| Citizens shoot down private surveillance drone… Posted: 17 Feb 2012 05:45 PM PST
A remote-controlled aircraft owned by an animal rights group was reportedly shot down near Broxton Bridge Plantation Sunday. Steve Hindi, president of SHARK (SHowing Animals Respect and Kindness), said his group was preparing to launch its Mikrokopter drone to video what he called a live pigeon shoot on Sunday when law enforcement officers and an attorney claiming to represent the privately-owned plantation near Ehrhardt tried to stop the aircraft from flying. “It didn’t work; what SHARK was doing was perfectly legal,” Hindi said in a news release. “Once they knew nothing was going to stop us, the shooting stopped and the cars lined up to leave.” “Seconds after it hit the air, numerous shots rang out,” Hindi said in the release. “As an act of revenge for us shutting down the pigeon slaughter, they had shot down our copter.” He claimed the shooters were “in tree cover” and “fled the scene on small motorized vehicles.” To read more, visit: http://thetandd.com/animal-rights-group-says-drone-shot-down/article_017a720a-56ce-11e1-afc4-001871e3ce6c.html |
| Ron Paul: Why Can’t We “Put Into Our Body Whatever We Want?” Posted: 17 Feb 2012 05:40 PM PST
VANCOUVER, Wash. — Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul decried the "war on drugs" Thursday night, telling supporters in Washington state that people should be able to make their own decisions on such matters. Voters in Washington are likely to decide this year whether to legalize the recreational use of marijuana "If we are allowed to deal with our eternity and all that we believe in spiritually, and if we're allowed to read any book that we want under freedom of speech, why is it we can't put into our body whatever we want?" Paul told more than 1,000 people at a rally in Vancouver, a suburb of Portland, Ore. Paul did not mention his rivals for the Republican nomination but criticized President Barack Obama for killing American citizens with suspected terrorist ties and for expanding federal regulations.

| Maine GOP: Results went to spam Posted: 17 Feb 2012 05:38 PM PST
Maine Republican Party chairman Charlie Webster has admitted that the state party made numerous clerical errors in counting the state's caucus results — even omitting some votes because emails reporting tallies "went to spam" in an email account. However, Webster insisted that the errors did not change the outcome. On Saturday, he had declared former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney the winner of Maine's Presidential Preference Poll by fewer than 200 votes, even though not all municipalities had reported results. "There were clerical errors that did not significantly change the numbers. There were several smaller towns that were left out, the reporting was wrong. … We've corrected those clerical errors and will send those numbers out [soon]," said Webster in an interview with POLITICO. For example, in Portland, the state party's results originally showed that Paul won by 15 votes when in reality Romney won by 15, he said.
