Monday- Today I read about the geezer bandit. And how he robed a bank again on Friday. I think it’s crazy how it is still going on. This guy caught a lot of fame with all of his robberies. I remember I read a story on how he got caught up but I'm guessing it wasn’t the real one because this guy who appears to be the geezer is not MIA but still in action. He’s not only a smart man but his plots and schemes are becoming epic. I also read about a grandmother suspected of abusing her grand child. She was roughing up her grandson in a Chula Vista parking lot. She was arrested on felony child abuse and remains in custody on Sunday.

Today I read about Sudanese police who CLASHED with students Sunday as protests inspired by rallies in Egypt broke out in the capital. The students protested at a university in Khartoum. About 100 students hurled rocks at police officers, who forced them back. Five people arrested. Students resumed the protests and tried to engage bystanders as soon as police left the are. I think that there was a specific reason why these people started a CLASH with the police I mean can’t the law do something about it if they know that bystanders and innocent people are going to get hurt is that what they want for it to happen? The law is just acting retarded now.
In today’s morning blog I read about a big storm that is happening in Chicago. Chicago is bracing for a snow storm of historic proportions that was expected to coat the Windy City and large sections of the country's midsection in a thick blanket of snow. People from Chicago are probably transferring out of there because of that storm. People are also seeking for coats and rain coats and all those things that can keep themselves warm from the Storm. This resource is not real good right now because its freezing cold.

Today I read about the Los Angeles district attorney that will decide if Lindsay Lohan will be charged with stealing a necklace from a jewelry store last week. The necklace, valued $2,500, was taken from a jewelry store in the Venice, California, home. On Feb 1st, 2011 detectives with Los Angeles police got a search warrant for Lindsay to search for the necklace at her home. Lohan, 24, is currently on supervised probation for a drunk driving conviction. The judge overseeing her case told her in October that he would send her to jail for 180 days if she violated her probation rules before her next court date appearance set for February 25th. She left the Betty Ford clinic a month ago after three months in a drug rehabilitation program. The rehab stint convinced the judge not to send Lohan to jail for failing a drug test . I think that if anyone else would come up on that necklace there would be no search warrant but since she is rich they want her money; and what don’t send her to jail if she pops a dirty!? That’s not fair I’ll go to jail if I pop a dirty!

Today I read about the FBI that they are hunting for three mysterious Qatari men who might have ties to the Sep. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The men’s stories and identities-Meshad Alhajri, Fahad Abdulla and Ali Alfehaid-were revealed in recent wiki Leaks online document dump that included a Feb. 8th, 2010, U.S diplomatic cable selling out discussions form a U.S. meeting in Doha, Qatar. That meeting was led by Mirembe Nantongo, then and now the deputy chief of mission at the U.S. Embassy in Qatar. It was held more than eight years after the 2001 attacks for "watch listing purposes," according to the document, suggesting that those named should be put on terror lists. There was no immediately available information Wednesday on the three men's current whereabouts, and none has been publicly charged with a crime According to the cable, the three flew on British Airways on August 15, 2001, from London to the United States. Over the next nine days, they visited New York (including the World Trade Center and Statue of Liberty) as well as Virginia and Washington, with one stop being the White House.
On August 24, 2001, al Alhajri, Abdulla and Alfehaid flew to Los Angeles, where they stayed in a motel. 101: Wiki Leaks revealed
RELATED TOPICS. The three paid for the room in cash and told the motel staff they did not want housekeeping service, the ex-law enforcement official confirmed. When they checked out, they left behind pilots' uniforms, paperwork containing pilots' names and cardboard boxes that were addressed to Syria, Israel, Afghanistan and Jordan.
Booked on a September 10, 2001, flight from Los Angeles to Washington, their flight, as well as hotel room, was paid for by "a convicted terrorist," according to the Wiki Leaks-released cable.
But the three men never showed up for the flight. Had they, the three would have flown on American Airlines Flight 144 -- the same plane hijacked the next day and flown into the Pentagon in northern Virginia.
Besides the convicted terrorist, who was not named in the cable, the three men were tied in the Wiki Leaks cable to Mohamed al Mansoori. The United Arab Emirates native had spent time traveling with al Alhajri, Abdulla and Alfehaid during their time in California. According to the former law enforcement official, al Mansoori was being investigated for possibly funneling money to support the 9/11 hijackers. His visa was revoked, but his name wasn't put on a terror watch list -- something that the Wiki Leaks cable's author suggested should change. The same source said he did not know whether al Alhajri, Abdulla and Alfehaid had any direct or indirect role in the 9/11 attacks, or why they left the United States. Still, investigators remain interested in at least talking to them. "Primarily, they were looking for the (three men) to collect any intelligence on what they were doing and looking at the money (trail)," the official said.
