Karma Train Comes a Calling
Remember the two "Uselessness of Europe" threads we put up last week (post 1; post 2)? The German government released the killer of a US Navy diver after serving 19 years of a life sentence in spite of a standing treaty and official request for his extradition. Shortly thereafter, a German hostage in Iraq was released. Quid pro quo? You bet your ass it was. The terrorist was briefly held by the Lebanese government, but released after a few days as there is no standing treaty with Lebanon for extradition. The only darkly humorous part of this entire story is that the released hostage had converted to islam a few years ago when she married an arab and refused to stay in Germany after her release - she is in the process of returning to Iraq if she isn't there already. So she's right back where she began and Germany is upset she isn't more appreciative of their efforts.
The lesson learned? It pays to kidnap Germans because they'll negotiate, pay ransom and release terrorists, even for hostages that have left the country of their citizenship.

Headline yesterday: German Ex-Diplomat Kidnapped in Yemen (h/t Captain's Quarters)
- A former German ambassador to Washington and four members of his family were reported missing and apparently kidnapped Wednesday while vacationing in a remote part of Yemen.
- Chrobog, 65, served as Germany's deputy foreign minister until last month, when a new government came to power. In 2003, he played an instrumental role in winning the release of 14 European hostages -- nine of them Germans -- who had been kidnapped in the Sahara and held for six months by Islamic radicals.
- he personally delivered a cash ransom worth several million dollars to intermediaries in Bamako, Mali, in exchange for the hostages' safe return.
Once the bandits, terrorists, and other assorted miscreants know that your governments will pay (and pay millions!) to get their citizens back, or will release prisoners upon demand (even those sentenced to life in prison!), you are going to see quite a few more kidnappings of Germans in the coming year. Useless Europe continues it's slide into irrelevance.

Thanks for those SCRUBBING BUBBLES S.C.C.!
SORRY "WHYTE STRIPES"...
(but go easy on me, `kay?! ;-)
I bet the Germans would have 2 radios in their squad cars for new years eve. Unlike our mandatory 2 man cars with only 1 radio for this saturday night. Got to love it.
I have Teutonic blood running through my veins, and it shames me what those assholes in Germany have done. Maybe they're overwhelmed with guilt over the bullshit they pulled during Hitler's reign? I don't know.
Give in to terrorists, kidnappers and the like, you're only asking for trouble.
If I could say only one thing to whoever let that sonuvabitch loose, it would be "go fuck yourself!"
Happy New Year to everyone else
For a country that once brought murder and mayhem to a "fine science", it's hard to believe that these are the same people.
In Europe POLSKA! POLAND is the greatest country in the world. Most of the worlds greatest minds came from Poland. The germans stole Polish tech. We designed the first jet plane. Neil Armstrong was half-Polish and the first man on the moon. The atomic bomb was designed by Polish techs.
Polish people took over the capacino/coffee spots from the Italians. POLSKA RUNS IT! Down with the rest of you euro-trash. Bust out Irish drunks. Our construction has taken over. The Sears tower was built by polish crews. All of the new condos are built by us. SO REMEMBER POLSKA!!!
Whats up with all the coppers carrying knives? Are they gangbanger thugs? The dept. has a class on knife use on the job? Or are they possibly "drop weapons"? So what is it. Carrying concealed weapons not enough. Carrying knives is illegal in Chicago.
To see a significant representation of Polski-Pride, drive by the corners of 5632 W. Belmont (Major), and 5700 W. Belmont (Parkside) on any warm day. You'll see a contingent of piss-bum Polacks and you'll see why they haven't done anything significant since Madame Curie (she died after exposing herself to radiation). You can include Roman Polansky and Ted Kazynsky as proud Poles.
Even Fredrick Chopin moved to Paris to get away from the cultural malaise of his homeland.

How did you get all that done, while surrendering your great country at the drop of a pin? If your race are so top shelf why the stigma as a "dummy" nationality?? Go Irish! At least we can fight and hold our liquor, you Polkas need a vodka drinking class! I like polska people though they are usually very cool.
Whats up with all the coppers carrying knives? Are they gangbanger thugs ANSWER>>>
Well again another educated liberal idiot cant figure it out.
Lets say that you get into a car accident. Your seat belt is jammed and wont unlock. Your was smoking and now starts on fire.
However, I cant cut your seat belt to get you out because some yuppy liberal complained that Police Officers carry knives. So your sorry ass burns to death! TTMF! Not a great loss I say.
So, ya liberal yuppy goof, does this answer your question?
Oh my God I forgot to place car before was smoking in the second paragraph. It shows I am uneducated. My appologies.
Cop gonna cut a seatbelt ina burning car? Only hero firemen do that. The copper would probably cut the strap on the womans purse and steal her money.
Ever notice that the "Fighting Irish" are all black. hmmmmm.
Poland...The Hilly Billy capital of Europe.
Ever notice America is the dumping ground for all the worlds trash. Bustout thieves, drunks and dope fiends. They need their guns because of the type of people who live there. Their cops carry knives because of their pirate heritage. Their priests are all child-molesters. They attack helpless countries and steal their oil. What else of a World Oppressor Nation!
9:43 Learn the law before you open your yap, Fuckface. ILCS exempts police from the illegality of carrying almost any weapon upon their person. A knife has many uses for a police officer, since you are not one (or at least not a good one) you wouldn't realize this. To the "Hero"....why don't you go on Ebay and buy some of the GAP jeans that the heros of NYC looted on Sept.11 or some of the shit that "fell" into a fellow CFD heros boot while fighting a fire?
"Fighting Irish" all black?
The quarterback and his two best receivers must paint their faces white before every game. fucking moron
Cops carrying illegal weapons? Of course, but you forgot the blackjack and the sap gloves. The above, plus the knives they carry are the tools of thugs. The off-duty carry of guns is not enough for these cops. They need the likes of above for their drunken actions at the taverns. They know they can't shoot people in most actions so they use the sap or the jack to bust you up. P.S. they also want tasers to shock the shit out of you!
Oh yes, they also like black boots to stomp the shit out of you!
Isn't Notre Dame in France? Why Fighting Irish? Why not the Fighting French? Okay, no one would believe that, how about the Fighting Africans?
A lot of them old country Polish bitches look like porn stars. Its too bad they smell so nasty.
Chrobog that a type of cystthat grows on horses balls.
I use to carry an Isreali stun gernade, and a double barreled coach gun, and I really really really wanted to use both. Now I feel ashamed of myself for feeling that way.
NOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S. they also want tasers to shock the shit out of you!

Damn straight! Why should "I" get hurt fighting with your bust out relatives, when all I gotta do is zap em. I want to go home safe every night. If the tools are available and legal for me to use -them I'm going to use them.
Oh and by the way, this site of for Police - not wanna be's
Off thread. An Illinois State Trooper pulled me over a few days ago, I am ret det cpd. We talked, he snapped to attention, saluted me and walked away. Trooper if you read this you damm near bought a tear to my eye, your a class act and a gentleman.
Europeans, with the exception of the British, have always been pussies, always will be. Remember, if it wasn't for the good old United States, which has become trendy to hate, they would all be speaking German.
Tell the knife Nazi to fuck off. Sorry you failed the psych, didn't have the college needed or were just too much of a thugass gangbanger to get on this job. You aren't on it, deal with it. And stop reading this, your 30 minute lunch break at McDonalds is up, get back to frying burgers.
If Europe would be speaking German without us, how does that make the Germans pussies?
A country the size of Texas, that nearly took over the world. They were many (bad) things, but pussies wasn't one of them.
POLSKA?????
They are all pissed off that Americans are telling POLAK JOKES and have started one regarding Americans:::
Here it is::
How many Americans does it take to screw in a Light Bulb
ANSWER:
ONE AMERICAN
I see the historical knowledge of the European-Americans here is as wrong as the misguided history taught in schools. You European-Americans here need to read more. And I don't mean Guns and Ammo.
Had Hitler not violated the non-aggression pact with the Soviet Union, things would have been a whole lot differant. We should be thankful that he did.

So, let me get this straight, it's OK for coppers to have firearms, but oh no....knives? You're a dickhead, plain and simple. I've carried a small pocket knife for years. It comes in handy as a letter opener, to cut twine on packages, open boxes, and even once, to cut a seatbelt.
It's true, it is a violation of CITY ORDINANCE (note, NOT state law) for a civilian (not police) 19 years or older to have concealed upon his person a knife with a blade in excess of 2½ inches (or was it 3? I forgot) and for a person 18 and younger, 2 inches.
Switchblade knifes are illegal for all, including coppers. But I'm wandering off subject. The knives coppers are carrying are utility tools, not a drop knife, illegal weapon, or any other fantasy your pea brain has imagined.
If you go outside the Communist State of Chicago, you'll find millions of average people have a small pocket knife with them. This is not a problem, except in your feeble mind.
So get a life then go fuck yourself.
Oh yeah, and try to have a Happy New Year too!

Hate to burst your bubble, but read the law again. Someone was nice enough to post an abbreviated portion. Note the exemption for peace officers does NOT include 24-1(a)(1).
