Culture Buzz In Bellflower, CA a cop was video taped striking a handicapped woman on the bus. According to a spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's office, the woman, who's name was not given, has a previous record of assaulting police.

Rick Perry being the most prolific practitioner of capital punishment in the United States received spontaneous and rapturous applause at the Republican presidential primary debate.

Culture Buzz It's not as though he has any distinguishing characteristics or anything. Patrick Brooks was arrested in Redding, California for burglary, forgery, and receiving stolen property. But how did police find this stealthy master of the normal and nondescript? Perhaps it's because his disdain for society was written all over his face. You see where I'm going with this? You see where I'm going with this.
