Retired Marine Greg Kachka Was Sent To Jail Over This Shirt:

The 60-year-old Vietnam veteran and former Marine was arrested at his home Tuesday and charged with two counts of disorderly conduct after two village trustees complained that, during a heated meeting, Kachka pointed his finger at them while wearing a shirt with a Marine Corps insignia that said, "Don't Move. If You Run, You'll Only Die Tired."

Trustees allege Kachka's thumb was raised and his index finger extended, as though he were firing a gun.

Witnesses claim he was threatening others by pointing at them or pretending to fire an invisible gun. Kachka says that just isn't true. He faces up to 30 days in jail, 2 years probation and a $30,000 fine.

Former Bush Speechwriter Battles 9/11 Conspiracy Theorists:

So I'm at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books. I've done my paneling duties, and I'm sitting under a tent to sign books. The (short) queue terminates, and up comes a guy with a videocamera.

"Remember me?" Amd I do - it's the same 9/11 denialist who showed up at a LA Public Library event I did some weeks ago.

"Still think I need stronger medication?" (A reference to what I'd told him at the prior encounter.)

I said: "Actually I regret I didn't tell you what my friend Christopher Hitchens told you - F—- off."

Frum blogged about the encounter on Sunday. I have to say, I feel for him. These conspiracy freaks are crossing the line from annoyance to stalker at a rapid pace. At some point you have to put your foot down and say enough is enough. Besides, the 9/11 'truther' guy filming the encounter is clearly unstable and quite possibly dangerous.

Disturbing Video Shows Child Threatening President Bush:



This video was posted a week ago today by YouTube user DEEZVIDEOZ. There are several more, all of which I've saved as they will soon be removed. It's obvious that this is nothing more than a wayward kid with a webcam but that doesn't make it any less disturbing. The kid in the video looks no older than 5 or 6 years old. I'll see if I can dig up any more information on him.
