A transgender woman accused of being a serial killer is blaming the 1990 murders of three prostitutes in Washington State on Douglas Perry, the person she identified as before her transition.

Donna Perry, 62, told police in 2012 in an affidavit filed in Spokane Superior Court that she had gender reassignment surgery in Thailand, and when a person transitions from male to female, "there's a great downturn in violence."

She also told police that she intentionally had the operation, which she underwent in 2000, "as a permanent way to control violence."

Perry is being held on $1 million bond in a Spokane County jail and declined to make a court appearance on murder charges this week, according to ABC affiliate KTLY, which first reported the story.

Whelp, some groups are going to have a field day with this persons chosen murder defense.

I think it will be interesting to see how this case goes.

"Woo" is generally anything that has not gone through rigorous scientific testing and stringent peer reviewed studies.

Given the federal ban on marijuana, it hasn't gone through rigorous scientific testing and peer review. And while people have reported good results for medical conditions while using marijuana, people have also reported the same on other treatments what people here consider woo.

Boycott anything that is open on Holidays!

Seems to be how most people think.

But none of you have said we should boycott hospitals. They were open on holidays. They are always open on holidays. Think of all the doctors and nurses, forced to stay at at the hospital instead of being home with loved ones.

If your going to cry out "Evil to make people work on holidays!", then don't be a hypocrite. Shame them all equally.

Edit - Since everyone else is going crazy over this, figured I'd throw in some crazy of my own.

[quote]An uproar of criticism has erupted following the release of a new online video game that allows players to re-enact the Sandy Hook Elementary School Massacre in Newtown, Conn.

Entitled “The Slaying Of Sandy Hook Elementary,” the game retraces the steps of gunman Adam Lanza, according to CBS Connecticut. It instructs players to “Shoot Mother” and “Get AR15 and clips,” before sending the silhouetted gunman into the school to open fire on teachers and first-graders, the Hartford Courant reported.

The game then switches to the school, where glass breaks as Lanza shoots his way into the school. Gamers are then given 10 minutes for Lanza to go into classrooms to shoot students and teachers. After the time is up, Lanza kills himself in the video game as a police arrive notice pops up on the screen, CBS Connecticut reported.[/quote]

I can see the point that the person was trying to make, but really... How can anyone think a game like this would be a good idea?

Lets make a new law about how the American Flag can be used, or at least manufactured. I'm thinking something like this...

Any item that has a representation of the American Flag, or previous versions (Including the Confederate Flag and varients), on it, and is intended to be sold in the US, must be made in the US.

Simple ja?

Democrats would agree to it I'd bet, brings back some jobs at least. Convicing Republicans and their crazy cousins the Tea Party would take some effort, but I don't think it would be to hard to do so. We'd just need to word things the right way - Imply that allowing our symbol to be created in other countries serves to weaken us.

We'd just need a name for the law. I was thinking the Flag Act, but we've already got that... Actually, since that law is about the design of the flag, we could add this as a amendment to it. Or something.
