She said that she had a lot of jewelry, apparently so much so that she couldn't even begin to explain how much it was worth.

How much jewelry does she say she has?
"Rick Rolls"??

The first problem I saw (from a civil rights perspective) came way earlier.

Maybe I'm off on my interpretation here, but didn't she say she earns $200 a week, has a car and some jewelry, to which he told her, she was not entitled to a public defender because she could sell her jewelry to hire a lawyer?

That seems like a travesty to me. She'll be forced to pay several months salary up front, simply as a retainer, before she even gets her day in court.

*howto get away clean. Works for public indecency like it does in a jewelry heist!

On Oct. 1, 1997, Luke Woodham, 16, part of a satanic cult, stabbed and bludgeoned his mother before driving her car to Pearl High School in Pearl, Miss., where he shot dead two students and wounded seven others with a rifle he made no attempt to conceal. He then got back into his mother’s car and planned to go to Pearl Junior High School to kill some more. But assistant principal Joel Myrick retrieved a .45-caliber pistol from the glove compartment of his truck and subdued Woodham.

On Jan. 16, 2002, Peter Odighizuwa, 43, of Nigeria, went to the Appalachian School of Law campus in Virginia with a handgun and killed three and wounded three others. At the sound of gunfire, two other students – both police officers – retrieved guns from their cars. Meanwhile, another police officer and former Marine jumped Odighizuwa and disarmed him by the time the other officers got to the scene.

On Aug. 23, 1995, a band of crack cocaine addicts entered a store in Muskegon, Mich., with a plan to kill everyone and steal enough cash and jewelry to feed their habit. One member of the gang shot store owner Clare Cooper in the back four times. He still managed to grab his shotgun and fire on the gang as they fled. They were all apprehended.

On Dec. 9, 2007, a 24-year-old gunman named Matthew Murray launched an attack on the congregants of the New Life Church in Colorado Springs that left two victims dead. A former police officer, Jeanne Assam, a member of the security team for the church, shot Murray 10 times, killing him, as he was shooting at her. Murray had killed four others at a church 70 miles away earlier in the day.

On July 24, 2012, Richard Gable Stevens rented a rifle at a shooting range in Santa Clara, Calif., and herded three employees out the door, saying he intended to kill them. One of the employees, however, was carrying a .45-caliber handgun and shot the assailant.

On Dec. 17, 1991, two men armed with stolen pistols herded 20 customers and employees of a Shoney’s restaurant in Anniston, Ala., into a walk-in refrigerator and locked it so they could rob the establishment. However, one customer was armed with a .45-caliber handgun hidden under a table. He shot one of the gunmen dead. The other robber, who was holding the manager of the restaurant at gunpoint, began firing at the customer. But he was wounded critically by return fire, ending the incident.

On July 13, 2009, an armed man entered the Golden Food Market in south Richmond, shooting and wounding a clerk while firing at store patrons. He was shot by another customer who had a concealed-carry permit, likely saving the lives of eight other people in the store.

On July 29, 2012, Charles Conner shot and killed two people and their dogs at the Peach Tree RV park in Early, Texas. Vic Stacy got a call from one of the neighbors, got his .357 magnum and shot Conner as he fired upon the first police officer to arrive at the scene. Stacy was credited with saving the life of the officer.

The truth is that every single day mass murders are averted by armed civilian

Yet, every time there is a horrendous slaughter like we saw at the Sandy Hook Elementary School, there is a knee-jerk outcry for stricter control of guns.

And I'd love to see where you got that information from shang. Haven't heard trespassing, breaking and entering, and the robbery angles yet. Have heard stolen jewelry and drug dealing.

On the other hand......Zimmerman was in court over domestic violence and took a deal on what was originally police assault with felony charges. And it's actually IN the court records.

And didn't live in the neighborhood? Troll comment.

You're a trolling shit head. Trayvon never had a criminal record.

What you read in a FoxNews.com article about Trayvon's school suspensions DO NOT count as a "mile-long [sic]wrap sheet".

Skipping class, having an EMPTY baggie on him, and carrying jewelry that wasn't reported stolen DO NOT make Trayvon a thug, criminal or a "bad person"

Trayvon was a person, flesh and blood. Just like you, you asshat.

Even if he engaged in criminal acts in the past, like George Zimmerman who assaulted a police officer..

Trayvon was minding his own business that night. Then was hunted down and murdered.

Step outside your little hateful, willfully ignorant bubble, @shang

>> ^Stingray:

Yeah, so... depending upon what/how much they were going to steal... were they just going to throw it all into the sunroof of the moving vehicle?


Yup, think low weight, high value items. Blueray player, jewelry, ect.

Meh not really, I feel that guy's genuine excitement for their fashion. Maybe it's because of making jewelry I have an appreciation for older clients with style.

I also want to note, the third woman @0:36 has a fantastic look.>> ^Boise_Lib:

Does this set off anyone else's creepdar?

Another content creator who only wants their rights and money stream protected at the cost to everyone else.

And it literally is a cost to everyone else in them giving up rights, plus the people and/or businesses paying to monitor for other people's content and protecting it.....for free or it costs them their money stream.

They want to produce the song/movie, have people pay for it but don't want to design something that both makes people able to use the product as is their right but also make it so they can control it enough without infringing upon the user's freedoms and rights. Instead looking to others to police this for them, at no cost to the copyright holders.

If we could suddenly copy diamonds using our garbage or some other plentiful item in a nearly cost free way. It'd be like the diamond companies wanting the state to test all jewelry for chemical signatures that there are no "copied" diamonds in there. And expecting your competitors to check the jewelry of people shopping there for competitions chemical signatures and report back to them...turn their customers in if it's not absolute 100% positive matches. And then expecting the state to force people to turn over their garbage/whatever. And making other industries produce items/services that leave no garbage/whatever to be turned into "copied" diamonds. No matter the cost to those industries, because the diamond industry harvests and cuts diamonds and people shouldn't just be allowed to copy it and cut out their revenue stream. You must protect their revenue stream at the cost to your own...and they'll get laws to say and do as much. Except....if this were actually possible, good luck stopping it and convincing people to not laugh at you and your dumb/"old way"/hard/pointless/whatever way of diamond creation. People'd be driving diamond encrusted cars and manufacturing companies would be replacing their expensive diamond tipped stuff with "copied" diamonds, because they'd be foolish not to move to the more cost effective way of operating.

Now cost-effective in handling piracy = bare minimum which = DMCA procedure to the bare minimum requirement, no more, no less. Otherwise you end up policing everything on imperfect data of who owns what copyrights and who has bought what items, etc...and creating a mess for everyone...especially people who use your services.

Here is an excerpt from a Ron Paul newsletter that instructs you how to cover up the evidence after you murder a black person. This is despicable.

Blast ‘Em?
(From the Ron Paul Political Report October 1992 newsletter. [source])

If you live in a major city, you’ve probably already heard about the newest threat to your life and limb, and your family: carjacking.

It is the hip-hop thing to do among the urban youth who play unsuspecting whites like pianos. The youth simply walk up to a car they like, pull a gun, tell their family to get out, steal their jewelry and wallets, and take the car to wreck. Such actions have ballooned in the recent months.

In the old days, average people could avoid such youth by staying out of bad neighborhoods. Empowered by the media, police, and political complicity, however, the youth now roam everywhere looking for cars to steal and people to rob.

What can you do? More and more Americans are carrying a gun in the car. An ex-cop I know advises that if you have to use a gun on a youth, you should leave the scene immediately, disposing of the wiped off gun as soon as possible. Such a gun cannot, of course, be registered to you, but one bought privately (through the classifieds, for example).

I frankly don’t know what to make of such advice, but even in my little town of Lake Jackson, Texas, I’ve urged everyone in my family to know how to use a gun in self defense. For the animals are coming.

Obviously he didn't hide it well enough, or we wouldn't be having this conversation.

I offer you a test of your own objectivity. Here are some quotes significantly worse than 'a few scattered words like "Jew" and "Sodomy". Will your mind change based on new evidence or will you make more excuses?

"If you have ever been robbed by a black teen-aged male, you know how unbelievably fleet-footed they can be." - Ron Paul, 1992

"Given the inefficiencies of what D.C. laughingly calls the `criminal justice system,' I think we can safely assume that 95 percent of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal." - Ron Paul, 1992

"We don't think a child of 13 should be held responsible as a man of 23. That's true for most people, but black males age 13 who have been raised on the streets and who have joined criminal gangs are as big, strong, tough, scary and culpable as any adult and should be treated as such." - Ron Paul, 1992

"What else do we need to know about the political establishment than that it refuses to discuss the crimes that terrify Americans on grounds that doing so is racist? Why isn't that true of complex embezzling, which is 100 percent white and Asian?" - Ron Paul, 1992

I find glass to be much more expensive. Then again, it depends on what you mean by "smithing" if you are talking about a blacksmithing studio then yeah a small lampworking set up will be cheaper but still more expensive than the basic start up tools for metalsmithing. Glassblowing however is extremely expensive requiring an annealer, glory hole (no not THAT kind for you dirty minds), and a furnace that runs all the time so it takes a great amount of glass. Coldworking tools are also very expensive. It is understandable why studio cost for glass students are always WAY higher than for metals students.
>> ^Porksandwich:
Glass and smithing are two things I'd like to at least say I'd made something from, even if they looked like crap. Glass is probably the bigger one because it's something you could more likely do at home and on a lower budget. But they are both one of those things where I think you need a apprenticeship in to keep from doing stupid things that could potentially kill or maim you bad enough to screw you up for life.



Honestly don't know enough about either to say one way or another. Glass seemed like it would be cleaner and something you could do without a full production setup, where as blacksmithing would be something you have to go full bore on to do anything worthwhile.

I know they have some metal like substances people use for jewelry and such now that only require a small oven. They are like some kind of clay-ish substance that you mold by hand how you want then bake it to get the metal like look. And I may even be half informed on that as well.

Although I can think of one type of glass creation that I've always wanted to make and keep, where you find a beach and stick a metal rod into the sand to capture the lightning formation as it heats up the sand to glass at the end of the lightning rod. Nothing really man created about it, just kind of coaxed.
