The small community of Harrold in north Texas is a 30-minute drive from the Wilbarger County Sheriff's Office, leaving students and teachers without protection, said David Thweatt, superintendent of the Harrold Independent School District. The lone campus of the 110-student district sits near a heavily traveled highway, which could make it a target, he argued. "When the federal government started making schools gun-free zones, that's when all of these shootings started. Why would you put it out there that a group of people can't defend themselves? That's like saying 'sic 'em' to a dog," Thweatt said in a story published Friday on the Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Web site. Barbara Williams, a spokeswoman for the Texas Association of School Boards, said her organization did not know of another district with such a policy. Ken Trump, a Cleveland-based school security expert who advises districts nationwide, said Harrold is the first ...

Hildreth, 57, is the public face of the National Immigration Bond Fund, a fledgling organization that helps immigrants swept up in Immigration and Customs Enforcement workplace raids post bonds. BOND FUND FACTS Q: How does the fund help with bonds? A: The fund works with local organizations that represent or assist people arrested in immigration raids. These local organizations can ask the fund to pay half of the bond if they have helped the detainee raise the other half. Q: If I donate, can I ask that the money go for a specific person? A: No. Your donation will go into the national pool to help match the money that family and friends raise for a particular person. If you want to help an individual with bond, you should contact the local organization or family members assisting that person. Q: Will the money I give to the bond fund be reimbursed when the case is over? A: No. At the end of a case, the immigrant will return the money paid by family and friends, and give the other half to the fund. The fund will use ...

The Arizona Department of Public Safety said the crash occurred on a state highway near the town of Florence , 63 miles (100 kilometers) southeast of Phoenix. Officials said the dead and injured had been travelling in a GMC four-wheel drive vehicle. The injured victims were being airlifted to hospitals across Arizona , the ADPS said. ADPS spokesman Bart Graves said the victims were suspected illegal immigrants. "We believe them to be undocumented aliens," Graves said. The crash occurred after the vehicle left the road at high speed, hit a ditch and rolled over before landing on its roof, Graves said. Florence is approximately 142 miles (228 kilometers) from the town of Nogales on the US-Mexico border. In June 2006, nine illegal immigrants were killed after a Chevrolet Suburban sport-utility vehicle carrying 20 people crashed following a chase with police near the town of Yuma, Arizona . The Mexican driver of the vehicle was jailed for life in May after being found guilty of ...

CALDWELL Associated Press Aug. 6, 2008, 11:55PM EL PASO — An admitted drug smuggler shot by a pair of former U.S. Border Patrol agents was sentenced to nearly a decade in federal prison Wednesday. Osvaldo Aldrete Davila, who was shot in the buttocks while fleeing from an abandoned marijuana load in 2005, was sentenced to 9½ years in prison for his role in other smuggling efforts months after he was shot. The sentence was issued a little more than a week after a federal appeals court upheld lengthy sentences for the former agents convicted in the shooting. Their case has drawn national attention, prompting several members of Congress to call on President Bush to commute their sentences or pardon them outright. Aldrete, of Juarez, Mexico, pleaded guilty in April to two counts of possession with intent to distribute a controlled ...

Another got shot in the chest. A 6-year-old boy was temporarily blinded when he was spray-painted in the face. And they were the lucky ones among those who have had run-ins with graffiti "crews," or gangs. Over the past 2 1/2 years in Southern California, three people have been killed after trying to stop graffiti vandals in the act. A fourth died after being shot while watching a confrontation between crews in a park. "We have seen a marked increase in these graffiti-tagging gangs taking to weapons and fighting to protect their walls, their territory, their name," said Los Angeles County sheriff's Lt. Robert Rifkin.  [Whose?] Los Angeles County has battled graffiti for decades, spending $30 million a year to paint over or clean up the emblems, names and images spray-painted on stores, concrete-lined riverbeds, rail lines, phone booths, buses, even police cars. On Wednesday, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a law requiring convicted graffiti vandals to remove their scrawl. For some taggers, protecting their work is akin to defending their names ...

Stevens Tuesday, July 29, 2008  AP Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska WASHINGTON —  Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens allegedly made false statements to cover up gifts given to him by an oil contractor seeking his help on Capitol Hill, according to a seven-count federal indictment charging Stevens obtained Tuesday. Stevens, 84, is the longest-serving Republican in the Senate and has been under investigation for more than a year, with a heavy focus on work done to his Girdwood, Alaska, ski-community home. The Justice Department announced a 1:20 p.m. ET press conference, although the conference had not begun by 1:40 p.m. Watch the news conference streaming live on FOXNews.com. The indictment alleges that Stevens made false representations in his Senate financial disclosure forms and to federal investigators in an effort to cover up his receiving significant construction services. Those services came from Bill Allen and the company he founded, VECO Corp, an influential Alaska oil services firm that has been the focus of federal investigators in an ongoing public corruption probe spanning the last two years. In 2000, Allen oversaw construction on ... Tue, 29 Jul 2008 18:11:16 GMT (CM) Jim from Texas http://www.firesociety.com/forum/thread/28170/Senator-Ted-Stevens-indicited-on-7-felony-counts/?src=103
