New video of shooting?

The new evidence reportedly includes footage never before seen by the public -- or the defense -- from a security camera at the clubhouse near where George Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin.

Add to that witness accounts, and prosecutors said that was enough to charge Zimmerman with murder, despite his claims that he shot the teen in self-defense. Zimmerman has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder.

    Harrisburg, Pennsylvania-AP -- A pair of suspected bank robbers made it easy for police yesterday in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

    Officers say the men blundered into the middle of an unrelated police action as they fled the scene of a bank hold-up.

    Police were looking for a man wanted in a bank robbery earlier in the week when the suspects' car sped into their midst.

    As one officer put it, "They ran square through the middle of a manhunt with a helicopter above it."

    The men abandoned their car after hitting a pole and were arrested.

    Police say they found two handguns and money from the robbery on the sidewalk.

    This was embarassing when it happened, but the more I thought of it, the more humorous it seemed . . . and I figured no one would mind a laugh at my expense.

    Standing in checkout line at area pharmacy Halloween morning. Mother with two small, costumed, children ahead of me. Nice little ankle biters just being kids & I was joking with them, pretending to be scared, the usual routine. Then I turned to their mother and remarked that it was nice to see adults join in the fun with their kids and complimented her for her realistic Elvira wig. If looks could kill, I would have grown a wooden stake in the heart in the next nanosecond. Wasn't a wig. Oooops!

    Almost got Mrs Rembrandt arrested and on the 6:00 news the other day. She was flying out to Phoenix for a visit and took one of the bags I use for hunting trips....has all sorts of zippered pockets, I had forgot and left some .44mag ammo in one.....fortunately she found it before the airport metal detectors did....now I have to convince her I didn't do it on purpose....

    She's been hinting around about some new furniture....guess this will be my punishment....why is it every time I make a mistake it cleans out the bank account, but if she makes a mistake...shouldn't I go gun shopping?....Hope all you young single fellows are paying attention....

    Sure, Rembrandt, Sure, she is going to want you to by that new 1911 clone, that new Baretta Shotgun, and that new Sako 75 you have been wanting. Man, I would think by now you would not even dream about fair any more. Enjoy the new furniture! All three rooms of it.
