After spending nearly 12 hours behind bars, accused of slapping a police horse, a Florida woman is out of jail Monday facing misdemeanor charges in the incident.
"A horse was literally right in my face all of a sudden," Stephanie Six told CNN affiliate Bay News 9. "So I put my hand up into his face as a reaction."
Six, 29, was released after being arrested early Saturday in downtown St. Petersburg, a report from Pinellas County Sheriff's office said.
Police were using mounted patrols to try to control crowds outside a tavern, when they say Six hit the horse, according to local news reports.
Six told the local television station she did not strike the horse.
"They're saying I slapped this horse when that's not the case," said Six. "I was basically getting it out of my face. I did not hit him."
CNN contacted St. Petersburg police and the state attorney's office, but officials were unavailable for comment because of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.
Six is charged with battery on a police horse. In Florida statutes, any person who actually and intentionally maliciously touches, strikes or causes bodily harm to a police dog, fire dog, SAR dog or police horse commits a first-degree misdemeanor.
If convicted of the first-degree misdemeanor, Six could face a $1,000 fine and up to one year in prison. A second-degree conviction is punishable by a $500 fine and up to 60 days behind bars.

I'll withhold verdict until someone remembers they recorded this incident on their cellphone and we see if the horses head snapped back on the impact!! :lulz:
FUCK YEAH, DA BURG!
Pretty soon it will be because the woman is white and the horse is black, and there will be racial riots on 22 Ave Souf where they'll hang effigies of white drunk girls and burn out cars and shit like they always do!

As evidence of a slight rhetorical shift, House Speaker John Boehner abandoned labeling the current health care law as "job killing," and instead called it "job crushing" and "job destroying" in a new message posted on his webpage.
"Repealing the job crushing health care law is critical to boosting small business job creation and growing the economy," Boehner wrote in the post.
Boehner also said "job destroying" in his closing remarks at the GOP retreat Saturday.

Worried that her job might be cut in Texas, IT professional Elisa Sumner took a big step by deciding to work on the other side of the world in Shanghai, China.
Sumner's high-tech company in Austin, Texas, was laying off people in her area of the business and hiring aggressively in Asia. The 45-year-old decided to take a job in Shanghai and move with her company, even though she could have eventually found work elsewhere in the United States.
Sumner's husband, Joel Sumner, a senior research and development manager, followed her to China with a job that has evolved into something "bigger" than his old one.
In addition to their careers, Elisa Sumner said the move was a chance at a "new and interesting" life experience for both of them, because they had never lived outside the United States together.

Why It's Not So Crazy
They can totally beam voices into your head.
In 2006, a guy whom multiple counselors labeled as a "paranoid schizophrenic" filed a Freedom of Information Act petition requesting all declassified government documents pertaining to covert attempts at microwave auditory effect, telepathy and hypnosis. While no one was surprised that a guy who once complained that the backs of his shoes were vaporized by an electromagnetic weapon would go through the effort of filing the request, a lot of people shit a brick when they saw the papers that came back.
Page after page of verified government documents confirmed that taxpayer dollars had funded research on everything from a telepathic ray gun to fever lasers that made victims disoriented and less aggressive. And, yes, one of the released tests even broadcast a person's voice telepathically by "using close-range microwaves ... to project the spoken numbers 1 to 10 across a lab to volunteers."

The Supreme Court has rejected an appeal from opponents of same-sex marriage who want to overturn the District of Columbia's gay marriage law.
The court did not comment Tuesday in turning away a challenge from a Maryland pastor and others who are trying to get a measure on the ballot to allow Washingtonians to vote on a measure that defines marriage as between a man and a woman.
Bishop Harry Jackson led a lawsuit against the district's Board of Elections and Ethics after it refused to put that initiative on the ballot. The board ruled that the ballot question would in effect authorize discrimination.
Last year, Washington began issuing marriage licenses for same-sex couples and in 2009, it began recognizing gay marriages performed elsewhere.

In a recent interview in Christianity Today Magazine, Jackson outlined some of his political views. He says he feels his moral values are closer to that of the Republican Party than that of the Democratic Party, particularly regarding gay marriage and abortion. However, he emphasizes that he felt the Republican Party was lacking in areas such as health care and justice reform. In the interview, he established that he feels that both ends of the political spectrum, social justice and individual responsibility, must be balanced.[1]
Jackson has made statements on the issue of illegal immigration. His editorials on the townhall website express concern for the treatment of Hispanic workers and for the effect they may be having on low wage employment opportunities for American citizens. [1]
mmigration reform is important to African Americans. The current liberal amnesty and porous borders approach to immigration is a part of what I call, "The New Slavery." Hispanic workers are taken advantage of by corporate employers and subjected to unsafe work environments and poor wages because of their current illegal status. This has directly affected black employment opportunities at the lower end of the employment spectrum.

Ain't that the truth.
A school district outside Columbus, Ohio, is on track to receive more than $1 million in federal grant money for its Chinese arts and language program. But what's really caught people's attention is the $30,000 that the district is getting from the government of China.
The Gahanna-Jefferson School District began teaching Mandarin Chinese four years ago and since then, the number of students in the program has increased from about 40 to 350.
{snip}
Outside Los Angeles, the Hacienda La Puente Unified School District was set to receive similar funds from the Chinese government through the Confucius Classroom network. But backlash from community members who cited "communist propaganda" meant they ultimately had to turn it down.
"The objection ... was not to the teaching of a foreign language," said John Kramar, the district's former superintendent and a vocal opponent of the proposal. "The problem here was the culture portion and the involvement with the Chinese government."
Kramar said he was concerned about impressionable elementary students learning about communism through material provided by the Chinese government.

Chicago, LOL
Dozens of suspects — almost all of them black men — claimed for decades that Burge and his officers tortured them into confessing to crimes ranging from armed robbery to murder.
Prosecutors presented testimony at trial from five men — Anthony Holmes, Melvin Jones, Andrew Wilson, Gregory Banks and Shadeed Mu'min — who claimed Burge or his men put plastic bags over their heads until they passed out, stuck guns in their mouths or shocked them with electric currents.

As a decorated Chicago police lieutenant, Jon Burge prided himself on sending bad guys to prison by getting them to confess to terrible crimes — and by committing terrible crimes himself in the process, prosecutors say.
If this guy is not convicted I predict Chicago will burn again.
Three police officers -- two St. Petersburg, Florida, officers and a deputy U.S. marshal -- were shot and wounded while serving an arrest warrant on a St. Petersburg home, authorities said.
All three officers were taken to a local hospital after the incident, which occurred just before 7 a.m., St. Petersburg police spokesman Mike Puetz said.
The marshal was in stable condition, Puetz told reporters, while the police officers were in critical condition.
The suspect remained inside the home, and authorities have heard nothing from him in nearly an hour, since the last gun volley with officers, Puetz said just after 10 a.m.
The three were trying to serve a felony warrant on charges of aggravated battery, said Puetz and U.S. Marshals spokesman Jeff Carter.

The who opened fire on officers inside a Detroit police station had a relative who is scheduled to be sentenced for double homicide Monday, said the city's police chief, who he would not confirm that as the motive behind the attack.
"We can't speculate as to motive," Chief Ralph Godbee said in a press conference Monday. "There is nothing in this that makes sense at all," Godbee said.
Lamar Deshea Moore, 38, walked into a police precinct Sunday and "indiscriminately began firing," Godbee said. He was shot and killed by return gunfire from police, according to the chief.
Two of the four officers wounded in the shooting were hospitalized in stable condition on Monday, Godbee said. Cmdr. Brian Davis is recovering from a gunshot wound to back, and Sgt. Brian Anderson was grazed in the head, he said.

WHERE'S THE BEEF?
An Alabama law firm claims in a lawsuit that Taco Bell is using false advertising when it refers to using "seasoned ground beef" or "seasoned beef" in its products.
The meat mixture sold by Taco Bell restaurants contains binders and extenders and does not meet the minimum requirements set by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to be labeled as "beef," according to the legal complaint.
The class-action lawsuit was filed Friday in federal court in the Central District of California by the Montgomery law firm Beasley, Allen, Crow, Methvin, Portis & Miles.
Attorney Dee Miles said attorneys had Taco Bell's "meat mixture" tested and found it contained less that 35 percent beef.
