To be fair, this situation is just begging to get turned into a black comedy/spy thriller flick. Just like Burn After Reading

Abortion doctor gunned down in church
Quote:With one bullet, a gunman ended the life and the controversial career of abortion doctor George Tiller, killing him as he stood in the foyer of his church Sunday.
Today, a 51-year-old Johnson County man could be charged with murder and aggravated assault in the shooting of Tiller, who had been shot before by an anti-abortion foe.
The crime has drawn condemnation and outrage from the president and stirred strong emotions across the nation.
Tiller, 67, was shot once just after 10 a.m. Sunday as he stood in the lobby of Reformation Lutheran Church, 7601 E. 13th St., where he was serving as an usher. The gunman threatened to shoot two men who tried to apprehend him.
Wichita police said that the suspect was arrested without incident on I-35 in Johnson County about three hours after the shooting, following a statewide broadcast describing the suspect and his car.
Although Wichita police would not name the suspect, the Johnson County Sheriff's Office identified him as Scott P. Roeder, according to the Associated Press.
Wichita police said it appeared that the suspect had acted alone but that they are investigating whether he had any connection to anti-abortion groups.
Police on Sunday said they expected the man to be charged with murder and two counts of aggravated assault.
In a news conference at Wichita City Hall, Deputy Police Chief Tom Stolz said police will "investigate this suspect to the Nth degree, his history, his family, his associates, and we're just in the beginning stages of that."
Tiller had long been a focal point of protests by abortion opponents because his clinic, Women's Health Care Services, 5107 E. Kellogg, is one of a few in the country where late-term abortions are performed.
He was shot and wounded in both arms at his clinic in 1993.
Sunday's shooting stoked emotional debate on the Internet between supporters of abortion rights and abortion opponents.
Without elaborating, Stolz said investigators will look into the Internet comments because the discussion could bear on public safety.
Tiller's family issued a statement through Wichita lawyers Dan Monnat and Lee Thompson:
"Today we mourn the loss of our husband, father and grandfather. Today's event is an unspeakable tragedy for all of us and for George's friends and patients.
"This is particularly heart wrenching because George was shot down in his house of worship, a place of peace."
I find it sadly ironic that the very movement that is supposed to be all for the sanctity of life is also just as willing to take a life of an innocent man.

Quote:Moshe Kai Cavalin, 11, graduates with honors from East Los Angeles Community College this week, but just don't call him a genius.
"I consider myself a regular kid who works hard and does his best," says this only child of a Taiwanese mother and an Israeli father.
When Cavalin started college at the age of 8, he may have been the youngest person in class, but he ended up tutoring some of his 19- and 20-year-old classmates in math and science.
Astrophysics is his passion. Albert Einstein and Bruce Lee are among his idols.
Yet like a twist out of a Hollywood action flick, Cavalin combines his exceptional smarts with fearsome martial arts abilities: The preteen has won numerous national martial arts championships.
Up next for the tireless boy wonder: In the next take six months to a year he plans to devote himself to martial arts, write a book for kids on how succeed in school, and take up scuba diving.
This kid is cool, until...

Ubisoft merges video games and films
Business World Wrote:Ubisoft merges video games and films
LOS ANGELES — French video game company Ubisoft is building its movie-making muscles.
While pairing films with video games is a long-running trend, Ubisoft is rising to a new level by collaborating with famed director James Cameron on a title crafted as an extension of his highly-anticipated 3D movie Avatar.
"Ubisoft didn’t want to just put something flashy on the screen; they wanted a soul behind the video game," Mr. Cameron said during a press conference with Ubisoft at a recent Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles.
"The world of the ’Avatar’ game is, in some ways, considerably richer than what you are going to see in the film."
Mr. Cameron said the film and video game teams have worked so closely together that ideas from each side have been incorporated into the other.
"We are learning from the best," said Yannis Mallet, head of Ubisoft’s Montreal studio.
"The film and video game industries are on lines that are not quite parallel, so let’s anticipate that the talents are converging and build collaboration so the whole is greater than the sum of the parts."
Ubisoft was free to create its own characters, vehicles, and weapons for the video game, as well as embellish on settings on the fictional moon called "Pandora" where the film story takes place.
"Ubisoft challenged themselves to set the bar pretty darn high," said Academy Award-winning Mr. Cameron, whose films include Titanic and Terminator.
"We are all pretty passionate about making ’Avatar’ the coolest new game out there," he added.
The "Avatar" story centers on a magical, lush Pandora where an indigenous tribal population living in rain forests is standing against an Earth-based corporation’s efforts to plunder the world of precious minerals.
Players of the video game choose whether to side with the corporation or the natives, one of whom becomes a love interest for the protagonist.
The main message of the movie is to see and understand situations and things through the eyes of others, Mr. Cameron said.
The director said he wrote Avatar about 14 years ago but the technology to realize his vision hadn’t existed until now.
"This film is way beyond anything I’ve done before," Mr. Cameron said. "Which is why it has taken four years. To put that in perspective, Titanic took two years to make."
The film and the video game are due out late this year.
Ubisoft is a believer in the convergence of films and video games, and last year bought Canadian special effects firm Hybride, which worked on animated action films 300 and Sin City.
"We started a year ago developing tools that will let us create games and movies at the same time," said Ubisoft chief executive Yves Guillemot.
"We are still very junior at creating movies, so why not join forces with the best of the best to make our visions come to life?"
Mr. Guillemot revealed at E3 that Ubisoft will be working on projects with more film makers including Peter Jackson and Steven Spielberg.
Ubisoft will be releasing this year short films based on its blockbuster "Assassin’s Creed" video game, a sequel to which will be released in November.
The video game company has also acquired the rights to make a video game tied to a Tintin: The Secret of The Unicorn film being directed by Spielberg and scheduled for release in 2011.
"Ubisoft is going from a simple developer and game publisher company to a full 360-degree content provider," said Mr. Mallet.
"We are excited about our future. The aim is to bring together video games and Hollywood." — AFP

New Jersey Police Enjoys Clubbing Man After Complying with Another Officer's Request to Zip-up Shirt
Quote:The CNN video shows a man standing on a street corner in Passaic, NJ. According to the story, a police car drove next to the man, and one of the officers instructed the man to zip up his sweat shirt (Apparently the police officer decided it was OK to abuse her authority to enforce her personal dress code on the man). The man complied with the request immediately and another officer jumped out of his car and ran to the man and proceeded to beat him senseless.
....Sounds like Manila cops.
Theory from a commenter on that site: "They asked the man to zip up his shirt for the camera in the cop car, in order to say that he might have been reaching for a gun. Unfortunately for the abusive officers, they did not notice the other camera."
