Local time where you're at. ("Where you're at"?)

Okay, picture this:&#160 Your spouse is driving home late at night, and is stopped at a red light.

Without warning, a 16- or 17-year-old snot-nosed punk-ass high on crack or whatever rips open your spouse’s door, shoots and kills him/her and takes your car.

You had best catch and kill that bastard before the cops get to him.&#160 Otherwise, once the judicial system gets hold of him, he’s going to be pampered for the rest of his life.

The not-so-Supreme Court just said so.

“The age of 18 is the point where society draws the line for many purposes between childhood and adulthood. It is, we conclude, the age at which the line for death eligibility ought to rest,” Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote.

Right now, across the country, hordes of Crips, Bloods, Latin Kings and various other gangs are hoisting beers in honor of you, InJustice Kennedy.

And pray tell, you dumb son-of-a-bitch, just what portion of the Constitution compelled you to decide that you and four other bastards on that rotted-from-the-inside bench knew better about how to punish those who trespass against us than we do, eh?

The Department of “Hypocrisy Much?” checks in today with the story of a Springfield bimbo who got busted on drug and gun charges.

Oh – did we mention she founded that town’s chapter of the Thousand Trollop Tantrum Million Mom March?

A Springfield woman who began lobbying against gun violence after her son was shot to death in 2002 was arrested last week when police allegedly found an illegal gun and drugs in her home.

Annette “Flirty” Stevens, however, said Monday she’s innocent, and the arrest is an attempt by police to get her to give up information about unsolved crime in the city.

Mheh.&#160 Well, that’s&#160 a new defense.&#160 “Your Honor, I’m being tried for knowing too much!!!”

The handgun, which had a scratched-off serial number, and drugs allegedly were discovered Friday morning inside Stevens’ home in the 2500 block of South 15th Street. Authorities said they obtained a search warrant for the residence as part of an ongoing investigation of a recent series of drive-by shootings. No one has been hurt in the gunplay.

That would be (pardon the pun) dead giveaway number one.&#160 When did you ever hear of one of these slutinskis be able to hit a target with such a reviled&#160 weapon, eh?&#160

Although police declined to get into specifics, Stevens has a “close connection” with one of two feuding groups involved in the shootings, Lt. Rickey Davis said Monday.

Stevens, 47, who is free on bond, admitted she does know some of the people allegedly involved in the drive-by shootings. But she said she only knows them because her interest in stopping gun violence – sparked by the shooting death of her son Jericko Clark, 20, on July 13, 2002 – has her in the neighborhoods talking to the youths.

To me, that’s dead giveaway number two.&#160 If I’m the parent of a murder victim, I’m not chatting up these snot-nosed punk-asses.&#160 I’m hunting them down.&#160 I think she does&#160 know something, and she’s not telling what it is.

One wonders if the drugs were a payoff for that silence.

She said the police wrongly believe she is the ringleader of the shootings, and they think she has information to solve those cases, as well as others, including the December murder of Andre Ayers, 22, who was shot as a procession of cars wound through the city’s east side.

“This is a blatant attempt to try and undermine me,” she said Monday night. “… They can’t solve these crimes, and I’m familiar with these individuals, so they’re going after me because I socialize with all of them.”

How’s that axiom go?&#160 Something about the company you keep?

A shame hypocrisy’s not a crime in Springfield.&#160 We could lock this bitch up and throw away the key…
