Attorney slain in 100 North Main parking garage in Memphis

Too bad. judging from his affiliations, he seems like a good guy.

Are you telling me that the property management office at the Port Authority was in the WTC?

I will look for the source later and flag you. Gotta run now. Thanks for the interest in the most under reported story of the year.

A search on Google returned 5 matches for Denko Mechanical. 4 of them are for a kitchen equipment repair company in Canada. Nothing matching that name in the US.

Here’s my template on the “Tennessee Drivers License Scandal”. Could use some editing. :)

And addiitions or suggestions welcome. Honway and Nita, the articles are “not there”, for me at least, directly from the Comm. Appeal site - did you get them from there, that is, the texts you posted above?

TENNESSEE DRIVER'S LICENSE STATIONS OVERRUN BY ILLEGAL ALIENS Personal and prescient observation from a Freeper...

Almost every Tennessee driver's license office now has lines cueing up at around 4- 5 a.m. as thousands of illegals previously denied a driver's license are trying once again.

And don’t forget the stories about the Doctor who “fell” off a Memphis bridge!

Born June 19, 1950, Memphis, Tennessee. Married to Elaine Freda Burson. Two children: Daniel and Jonathan Friedman.

My God.

Murdered two days after his 52nd birthday.

I can only imagine what his family is going through.

Ping for my Tennessee License Scandals ping list - ever growing into more (related?) subjects.

If you want off or on my list, please tell me.

Though the Tyson fight was a disappointment, I'd say this puts Memphis ahead of San Diego in the weirdness contest.

Thanks for the ping, Shermy. Keep me on the list. It's just getting far too weird out there.

"Mr. Hammad's father, Peter Hansen, said his son was a plumber, and he provided a letter he said he had obtained from his son's employer attesting to his work at the trade center. "

Why does the father have a letter from the son's employer?

Please keep me on this list.

Like Alice said "Curiouser and curioser"

Though the Tyson fight was a disappointment, I'd say this puts Memphis ahead of San Diego in the weirdness contest

And go WAY back to the phony FBI story that gave the *G-Men* their name, supposedly from the FBI capture of George *Machinegun* Kelly. It was a Memphis PD Detective that made the bust....More FBI phoney baloney.

Then there was the Martin Luther King hit....

And I guess you know who came here for their retirement....

And, of course, I'm here. Now THAT's scary!

-archy-/-

"Why does the father have a letter from the son's employer?"

Good question. Also, why does Hammoud's 'father' have a Nordic name? Did anybody do DNA testing to prove the relationship?

The person who wrote the threatening letters to Dr. Smith was not American. He's Mideastern. He misspells the same word and he uses grammatical incorrectnesses which point in that direction. Also, wording and the threats point to an Arab Muslim sifting through Christian ultra right wing sites to find correlations between the Bible and the Qu ran. Not that those are hard to find, since the Arabs had 700 years to study up on Christianity and assimilate certain concepts into what came to be the Qu ran. They did the same with Judaeism. I can't remember which sutras, but those phrases used in the threatening letters are also in the Quran. The 'abortion' BS is the same stuff bin Laden spouted in one of his videos.

The Islamofascist organized crime ring is getting rid of witnesses.

Archy, do you know if the two Smiths are related?

It appears from the following documentation that they are brothers. The suspects may have since shaved their meards, or could be hiding out among the Amish or Mennonites.

What! No Elvis sitings?

Oh, braids rather than blue suede shoes.

'sider this an "ON" Ping, please ??

Keep 'em coming !!

Shermy what is happening in Memphis???

Thanks.
I have been unable to establish any connection between the Canadian Denko Mechanical and the WTC Denko Mechanical. Thanks for the search.

Dog, it's rock'n'roll time in Memphis.

Everyone, sorry for the double ping but you got to see the surveillance video. From a camera that look's like it's from an auto mechanic or taxi base, invisible from the street, straight on the perp running to his car. Also, a guy in a pink shirt looking right at him (he should be careful!!)

Go to this link: Surveillance video of shooting suspect's getaway and click "Play video". Video comes up in upper righthand corner.

Also video at www.wreg.com, but unstable.

Here's some more info:

Good work by Memphis, TN - Prominent Memphis Attorney Robert M. Friedman was shot and killed in a North Main street parking deck this morning. Friedman is a senior partner of the Law Offices of Friedman, Sissman, and Heaton, P.C. and was apparently on his way to work when he was shot and killed on the 4th floor of the parking deck at 100 North Main. Police say Friedman had just gotten out of his Mercedes Benz, when a man walked up and shot him. The suspect in the shooting is described as a black man, with corn-row braids, wearing a black pin stripe suit, his shirt open at the collar, around 6' to 6'2" tall, and left the scene in a blue Toyota Corolla that was parked on Jefferson Street. Originally police said the suspect was last seen running west on Jefferson before getting on a Mata bus. Now surveillance video shows the suspect got into a Toyota to flee the scene.

It was widely reported in the media that the spinkler systems did not work in the Towers on 9-11.No conclusion has been made as to how the sprinkler systems were disabled in the WTC towers.

Wouldn't have anything to do with those big airplanes that hit the building, would it?

Shermy I went and looked at the video.....interesting..... the guy in the pink shirt better get police protection .......fast!
