Legal things – Bombers and smokers

Predictions and conspiracy theories fly as people anticipate the legal process in the aftermath of the bombings – a first after so many violent events ending in the death of the perpetrators

Some predict legal process will frustrate justice (red meat for readers too)

Murdoch other paper in NYC predicts the opposite Along with the news of Bloomberg’s new attempt to lord over people’s lives. I don’t smoke anymore and wouldn’t mind if people quit/don’t start. But legislating this is dumb. And will probably fail as the tobacco industry has even more lawyers than the beverage industry (but less than civil rights/stop&frisk)

Boston Aftermath Day 2, guns, stop & frisk

The Daily News has a very silly cover on the gun law being voted down in the senate. Not featured on Newseum, my own photo. It’s the speech they would have liked Obama to give, so they make believe he did.

Meanwhile the NY Post once again fingers the guilty

Because of their track record, i don’t buy it, Sure enough, it was another lie

The two were also on the Post’s front Thursday with the headline: “Bag men: Feds seek these two pictured at Boston Marathon.” The Post reported later Thursday that the men weren’t considered suspects, and the FBI has since identified two other men as suspects in the bombings Monday

Teen stunned at portrayal as bombing suspect

except to the extent that The Boston Globe confirms

Back in NYC, Bloomberg’s stop and frisk is challenged in court. Not being backed by a big $$$ industry I am not too optimistic.

Good News tabloids

Only the free papers in NYC have some relevant covers.

Great news in The Bronx for our civil rights

and some  nice news from Chelsea

(I remember chasing that WiFi during Sandy& aftermath).

Want an abortion? You’re Hitler!

Hitler was bound to get drawn in the anti-choicers arguments and now we have a front page

Oh, and don’t even start telling me to vote D because of that. Obama constantly declared the right of choice “not a civil right but a moral issue”

Tabloids: “At least they didn’t shoot you!”

After all the implications of mutual violence in the news about “clashes between protesters and police” (never the other way), AM-NY choses a photo of a cop at Liberty Square to praise them for shooting very little this year. Maybe it’s because they vere involved very little with actual criminals.
