A Comedy of Errors - Starring Thomas Arnold Jones and the Sherrif’s Department



So, as most of you have probably seen, yesterday , Thomas Arnold Jones escaped a reportedly moving Sherrif’s van while be transported to the courthouse. Well this Gumshoe has a few things to point out about this supposed "Escape". Walk with me shall you?




First, in the picture taken by a driver behind the van, it proves a few rather glaring inconsistencies with the story being told.

Reports say he kicked out the back window, crawled out it, scrambled onto the bumper, and leapt off. Ok, so I may not be a crack detective, but let’s look at the obvious. First the windows. The rear windows in the picture are both still obviously intact. So let’s do some forward thinking, and assume maybe, just maybe, the door wasn’t closed properly. Oh but wait! Would an escaping criminal go out the door and then take the time, and extreme effort (ever try to operate a door on a moving vehicle?) to close it? Also it begs the lifelong philosophical question: "If a window in a Sherrif’s van is kicked out, and you pretend not to hear it, does it make a sound?" They claim they never heard him escape, and didn’t know he was gone, until they reached the court house.

Also, I would be remiss to not mention the fact that he was in shackles. So again, he crawled out a window (which is still there), while in shackles, on a moving vehicle, and was able to gracefully make it to the bumper? All I have to say here is

BULLSHIT !

Also, I beg to differ on the status of the vehicle. Based on the picture, the brake lights are on. So either the vehicle was slowing or stopped. That makes it a bit easier to get out. It was reported that he crouched on the back bumper. If he was escaping, what was he crouched for? They were on a highway. Was he going to wait until the off ramp? I would guess it would difficult to maintain himself on the bumper for any period of time, where the highway speed in NS is approx. 100 -110 KM/H. So they go on to say he eventually leapt from the van on Mount Hope Ave. Would you not see a body rolling on the highway in your side mirror as it leapt from your vehicle? He was reported seen on Stephen St (3.4KM away from launch point) and was assumed to be heading to Brock St ( 3.46km from launch point).

Then when he was seemingly successfully in eluding police, he calls and turns himself in. They pick him up on Marilyn St. (3.57 KM from launch point)

Well Armchair detectives, that is my 2 cents. I won't elaborate on the conclusion, I'll let you draw your own.  :)

Another Teacher...... Another Rant. Justice Served?

***DISCLAIMER*** Before I get started on this, I want to curb a few of you right off. This post is not about what I would do, or “if it was my daughter”. This is about facts and about how things get so f’ing twisted we can’t see straight. If you are going to reply, and say “If it was Adora……” don’t waste your time. I am commenting on the situation, not the morality. ***END DISCLAIMER**** Derrick Joseph Redden is an idiot. Hands down, an Idiot. A sexual relationship with a 16, now 17 year old girl…. Ludicrous. But the question is, is he a criminal? My response to this……. Empthatically, NO. We discussed this after the last teacher scandal. I fail to understand what these so called judges find illegal. If being a complete and utter moron is a crime (and maybe it should be) then hell yeah, he’s guilty. But it is not a crime. The judge was quoted as saying It’s clear that there lurked in that teacher an evil which was an evil that led this man to throw away his career, the res

The Dog is the Thing.......

                                      I know I’m about to APPEAR insensitive, but here me out first, I think I have a valid point.  So we have all heard of seeing Eye Dogs, and know the benefits they bring. I wonder if we are all aware of Hearing Ear Dogs? Here is What I found out about hearing ear dogs: For a person who is hearing impaired, the feeling of vulnerability and isolation can be overwhelming. A Hearing Dog is a dedicated assistant to such people — He will alert his master to important sounds, such as the sounds of a baby's cry, the telephone ringing, a knock at the door, an alarm clock, a kettle whistle, in addition to such danger signals as the sound of a smoke alarm, burglar alarm, or even the rustling of a prowler, by leading the owner. (ok say maybe not in the case of the prowler, but you get the idea.) These dogs provide a sense of security, independence, and of course companionship to their human partners. They proudly wear their working vests and enjoy t

An Update on Yours Truly

Image
Warning: There will be a tiny sales pitch at the end of this Blog. Hello everyone. I am taking a break from my normal controversy to bring you something near and dear to me. My writing. As most of my friends and family know, I enjoy writing. Whether it’s poetry, blogs, fantasy wrestling league NEWA ( www.nextevolutionwrestling.com ) , or simple jotting words on a page, I love to write. Often I evoke emotional responses from people, some good, some bad. But isn’t that what true writing is about? As many of you might remember, I have for some time been working on various projects and trying to get something published with a major publisher. This is a daunting task at the best of times, and I’m sad to report that I have had a great deal of rejection. But all is not lost. In this marvelous technological age that we live in, I have found another avenue in which to pursue my dreams. It may be a long road, but I feel that I have what it takes. What am I babbling about you ask? Well, it
