This ain't good news...

That's right around the corner from IGT, next to that Kung Fu Diner place. I wonder if it's that Briana girl from UNR? :(

Yeah, when I drove back from lunch we saw the police cordoning off the whole area.

Didn't look good.

='(

I dunno how I feel about that.

Ugh. Not good at all. So many people's hopes are WAY up for finding her alive. And there's a good chance that's her.

Unfortunately, if you don't find a kidnap victim within the first day or two... you don't tend to find them alive... Especially with all the attention the family was brining to the kidnapper, the guy probably freaked out.

It's pretty scary and really sad. On one hand I hope it's not her, on the other hand it might be even scarier if it's someone else, 'cause then we've got two crappy situations going on.

Still technically hearsay, but still not looking good :(

My wife's coworker knew Brianna, I guess. This kinda sucks, but I realized that it may turn out this way right off the bat since the guy that's the suspect is a kidnap/rapist and they found blood in the original crime scene.

Don't know how you guys feel about Bill Manders, but they are talking about it on 780am.

They just confirmed the body is Brianna's

:(

Let's just hope there are enough clues there to find the guy that did this.

This just kinda makes me ill, considering it means I drove by her body ~30 times.

What's worse is that there were like 3 "Bring Bri Home" posters hung at that intersection. :(

Honestly, I'm glad it turned out to be her. There was so little chance of her showing up alive after the second day or so, that I'm glad it isn't some other poor girl instead.

Man.

And for the last week or so, the various PD's have been stopping anyone in the north part of town that looks suspicious, shaking them down, and demanding DNA samples. This happened to one of my lab's grad students at UNR, out on the street near his residence up past the Bonanza Casino at 10pm. Pat-down, interrogation, and DNA swab. I asked UNR PD about it, and they said it's new policy while this case is hot, and "please cooperate". Scary.

Hmm. Not sure of the legality of demanding DNA samples on the spot without PC.

It sounds like they are asking people for one, not so much demanding one.

If so, that's retarded. If they happen to stop the guy who did it, he's going to say no. If I were brass at RPD, I'd be real wary of this as its probably going to lead to negative attention from lawyers with loud political mouthpieces, especially sicne it's not going to find the guy that did it.

That's what I was thinking. It's just a waste of time and resources.

They can demand but you can say no. Without a warrant they can't do shit. Considering that there are zero legislative deterrants against law enforcement from keeping your DNA sample indefinitely, the average citizen who is innocent can be harassed for years on end if their DNA is in the database and is matched to some random piece of garbage (soda can, whatever) in the vicinity of a crime scene. For people such as those going to school at UNR, I wouldn't doubt this would be likely if something else happens in the future on campus.

Hence my expectation of lawyers (rightly) getting very upset with RPD in the near future.

Just brought to my attention that Westboro Baptist Church plans to piss people off again. I try my best not to waste emotion or attention to people who are 100% full of hate and have no purpose in life whatsoever. But this gets me bad. Anyways, don't bother reading if you know already know about WBC or don't feel in the mood to be full of rage. It involves them and funeral of girl.

If they plan to picket Denison's funeral, this may actually be the straw that breaks the camel's back. There'll be a riot and a bunch of these WBC idiots will get beaten... which is what they're after as far as I can tell. I think they've just been looking and looking for a reason to sue someone for beating their asses.

Lolz. They're picketing the "incompetent" and "corrupt" RPD because they are attempting to use DNA evidence, and allowing the Patriot Guard Riders to keep WBC away from the funeral? I have nothing more to add to "lolz."

This is exactly my concern. I actually went and asked the UNR PD office about it, and got this:

"Yes, field sample collections are the current policy because of how many assaults have been happening around here, please cooperate because refusing and coming down to the station will waste everyone's time"

To everyday people, they will see it better to submit to a forceful request from an aggressive cop rather than buck the "man". Because of the increasingly widespread use of DNA evidence, I foresee these police-state types of procedures becoming the norm in the future, all in the name of keeping people "safe". Long-term archiving and profiling/cataloguing usage of individual DNA information will be a natural development.

Conspiracy Mode Off.

I can't wait for them to drag someone down to the station for being in a parkng lot after dark. :rolleyes:

I went ahead and called in a tip that there will be some shady fuckers in the parking lot at the tamarack on thursday night. :cool:

As long as Cory's there the rest of us will be okay. ;)

Strangely enough, the aforementioned victim of Reno 911 clownage is of similar ancestry....this might work....

Hooray for rioting!

The description of the guy they're looking for is a white dude...


Sucks to be you guys!!! :P

Yeah, it's a hunt for whitey this time!

Yeah, sucks to be you guys :p

But, random black dude > white perp on the Police hassle rankings. Sucks to be oppressed!

No really. I've been driving around all week, with my windows down and the radio up super loud, throwing fake gang signs out the window at every cop I see. They really have no interest in me at the moment... YOU are the one that looks suspicious now Kev.

So... where do I get a can of blackface anyway? :liljon:

I guess Bob isn't a threat either.



Cop 1 "Hey Steve, get a look at that guy over there. He looks like a greasy scumbag!"

Cop 2 "Yeah, look at that long haired bastard. I bet he couldn't get close enough to a girl to be any real danger though."

Cop 1 "Your probably right. Lets get out of here."

Cop 2 "We can't leave yet, he's still changing my oil."

Shoe polish store?

White criminals are the really scary ones... mass murders, serial rapists, TV evangelists, heads in the fridge type psychos, etc. Black criminals just get arrested for smoking weed and pimping hoes... so while they're in and out of the clink frequently, they're not in super-max because of a disturbing underground sex-lair discovery or anything.

With the exception of the beltway snipers, name one black mass murder.

Simon Phoenix!

Exactly! We just usually shoot each other for wearing the wrong color in the wrong neighborhood, and shit like that. And even with the exception of the snipers, you still don't see black guys going all Buffalo Bill and making a "people suit"...

:lol: I nominate this statement for un-PC QOTW.

:liljon:

:lol:

The whole statement was supposed to be tongue-in-cheek... I guess I kinda left off the smilies. I hope no one is taking me too seriously!

...'cause, black people also get arrested for stealing stereos too.

:lol: You're KILLING me!

Have fun with the cops when they stop you tonight for a "random" DNA sample whitey! ;)

I bet there's plenty of white dudes out right now hoping a female cop pulls 'em over.

...but I bet they get arrested faster than a black dude driving a hummer on 22's doing 2 mph over the limit when they whip it out to supply the "DNA sample".

Robert Mugabe comes to mind. Also... there's this place called Rwanda...

Ummm... when they whip out that cheek-scraping thingy? ;)

That's what I was thinking too (Rawanda, DRC, etc) but I think he was more referring to 1st world countries.

I would like to do something to piss them off and not get sued, but a funeral is not the place to do that. Maybe I can catch them at the airport.

I was referring to the USA alone.

Back on topic, the Brianna memorial stuff is getting out of hand. That street is no longer a useful street. There's two tent pavilion things setup to keep all the flowers and teddy bears out of the rain.

Why people want to memorialize where her body was found rather than her life is beyond me. "Hey lets worship where this bastard left her body". :mad:
