A man who claimed Texas' version of a stand-your-ground law allowed him to fatally shoot a neighbor after an argument about a noisy party was sentenced Wednesday to 40 years for murder.
Raul Rodriguez, 46, had faced up to life in prison for the 2010 killing of Kelly Danaher.
Rodriguez, a retired Houston-area firefighter, was angry about the noise coming from a birthday party at his neighbor's home. He went over and got into an argument with 36-year-old elementary school teacher Danaher and two other men at the party.

96,000 here...150,000 there.. Here a blocked vote, there a blocked vote
C'Mon local Dems.. YOU KNOW WHO THESE PEOPLE ARE.. GET THEM THE ID THEY NEED..AND DO IT QUICKLY.
Complaining on TV about how unfair it all is, will NOT work.
We've only known about the devious actions of Republicans since... well FOREVER..
Spend those precious resources on getting the IDs necessary, and spend money on lawyers AFTER the election.
I know there will be people here and there who cannot get whatever papers are necessary in order to get an ID, but the "rare" case of a 95 yr old born on a farm with no birth certificate is no reason to stonewall and let all the others get shoved aside on election day.
This is a WAR.. We have to start pushing back...and perhaps even asking new registrants to register REPUBLICAN..especially in the "danger areas".
A suggestion for the 30-35 possible turncoat Dems in the house
STAY HOME THE DAY OF THE VOTE.
Lending a hand to republicans so they can get "cover" with a BI-PARTISAN vote is nothing to be proud of.
The vote will be overwhelmingly republican anyway, so why bother to boost their numbers.
If you are too "askeered" to vote NO, then just stay the F home & watch Fox News.
A Chapter 9 bankruptcy by the city of nearly 300,000 (Stockton, CA)
http://in.reuters.com/article/2012/06/27/economy-stockton-idINL2E8HQ3XU20120627* Stockton has $700 mln outstanding debt
By Jim Christie
STOCKTON, Calif., June 27 (Reuters) - Stockton, California will become the largest U.S. city to seek protection from its creditors after its leaders approved a budget on Tuesday night based on the city filing for bankruptcy.
A Chapter 9 bankruptcy by the city of nearly 300,000 in California's Central Valley, about 85 miles (135 km) east of San Francisco, could come as early as Wednesday.
Stockton's city council voted six to one in favor of the 2012-2013 budget after a contentious five-hour meeting where angry retired city workers pressed council members to reject the $155 million spending plan. It proposes eliminating retirees' medical benefits to help fill a $26 million budget deficit.
Retired police department employee Geri Ridge said she fears not being able to afford health-care insurance. "I don't have that kind of income," said Ridge, 56, noting she is concerned a large share of her $1,895 monthly pension payment could be consumed by large insurance costs due to her history of heart attacks.

ONE city with 700 million in debts..WTF..
Multiply this by all the other US cities that have been starved by Bush and then crushed again by the depression/recession, and we have a HUGE problem.
There is NO way these debts can be repaid, no matter how many retirees they kill off (by cutting off health care they EARNED)
