11. December, 2003 - Punk Karaoke R.I.P.
- Punk Karaoke will be no more. Friday December 19th will be the last night, so if you’ve got an urge to sing The Circle Jerks’ “World Up My Ass” in front of a couple friends, by all means, head to Nordeast either tomorrow or next Friday. [jim]
- I watched the new Battlestar Galactica Tuesday night. Seems like it might be a pretty good geek show. Not great, but pretty good. As a bonus, I didn’t really watch the original so I’m not as upset about changes they’ve made. But it’s more than a little frustrating that there’s no way to find out when they’ll be running more episodes. Or maybe the two-parter is all there is.
- Yesterday I pointed to an article saying there’d been a
minimum of disruption
due to the snow. But for some, it was a Waking Nightmare as they got towed under the snow emergency rules. In Minneapolis, people who were in the dark on plowing got enlightened at the impound lot. [press-patch]
- Wood-plank road takes visitors back to the past as part of the Mill Ruins Park and museum. The plank road will be dedicated at 11:30 this morning. [press-patch]
- Student sues U, police for spleen loss in riot after he was shot in the back with a beanbag from a shotgun. Minneapolis Police Information Officer Ron Reier said
Cops do not have to fight fair. The law gives (police) the right to use more force on you than you use on me.
Jeffrey Arndt says he was just walking home during the riots and got shot for no reason, and if that’s the case, I hope he prevails. For that matter, I’ve even seen some debate (via End The War on Freedom) about whether cops do have a right to use more force than the rest of us, or whether police are even constitutional.
