A Pizza Hut worker allegedly killed his manager in the restaurant’s kitchen this month over a $7,000 inheritance check the victim cashed earlier in the week, according to Wisconsin authorities. Kavonn Ingram was charged with the Feb. 5 homicide of 55-year-old Alex Stengel, whose body was later tossed in a dumpster outside Pizza Hut in early February, police said. South Milwaukee police received a call of a dead body at the garbage area, from where officers followed a trail of blood to the kitchen, a criminal complaint states, according to reports. The 31-year-old was charged with first degree homicide.

Hopefully some of the more legally astute Freepers may have some insight into this thought, but I am wondering how feasible it would be for Congressional districts in states like PA, MI, WI and even NY & CA to split their electoral votes by Congressional district in the same way that Maine and Nebraska do currently. I imagine the rules vary from state to state on how to implement this, but it may be a way for states with more Republican Congressional districts to build a sort of firewall around their electoral votes to protect them from being overwhelmed by...

My apologies if this a duplicate. I didn't see this posted. I couldn't help but notice on ABC's 20/20 'report' on the Fort Hood shooting last night, that they went out of their way to blame "stress" for the shooting despite the fact that the shooter had never been deployed anywhere, nor had he ever been on the battle field. Although they did touch upon his islamic jihadi tendencies of late, they didn't dare point to that as the motive. They also only gave a brief (literally 10-15 seconds) mention of the heroic woman (Kimberly Munley)who stopped the killer's rampage...

This forum has been a great resource for information, not just for political and media related topics, but for a wide range of other topics as well. This is a testament to the diverse skill sets and expertise possessed by the members of Free Republic. I am hoping to leverage this expertise by asking for some advice in the technical area. I am looking to make the switch from a PC to a MAC. I am hoping that some of you may be able to provide some information or even links to information about some of the pros/cons of making...

I know I shouldn't be nearly as angry as I am over this (In fact, I know I shouldn't even care), but I couldn't help but notice that featured prominently on the top of the front page of the comic section of today's Philadelphia Inquirer (big surprise) was today's blatantly racist Boondocks comic strip. The strip in question consisted of one frame in which two young black characters observed a white character jogging in the snow while dressed for warm weather. The line written for the black characters is simply “White People”. The implication was obviously that only white people...

CNN just did a story about the disappointment of voters in blue states over the re-election of President Bush. It included "man on the street" interviews in New York where people (all Kerry supporters) voiced their disappointment with the same predictable rhetoric we have been hearing from the left for the past 2 days. In the interest of being 'fair and balanced' they also interviewed a 'Bush supporter'. Naturally, the Bush supporter they chose was some half inebriated homeless guy standing on a street corner with a bible who started rambling about how God had told him that he sent...
