Stupid is right and that is putting it mildly.... As for being cut off, to me that's part of the deal you "signed up for", it's the chance you take when being an idiot, it's the taking someone else out is what I really dispise. Total disregard for human life other than their own... their closing remarks, of "going out in a fiery wreck....". WHO THE "F" cares if it was them what about the innocent bystander that wasn't expecting an idiot to be driving that fast in his/her town to blast into his/her car killing all of their children, etc... This deserves NO press... what so ever!

Hey Taxpayer, Who do you really pay for?
Dear OCEA member,
This morning, your OCEA bargaining team met with the County, and the County continued to refuse to provide you and your families with a wage increase. The County’s CEO, executives and elected officials continue to ask concessions from you, while at the same time refusing to give up their enormous perks. Here’s what County CEO Mike Giancola has stuffed in his Christmas stocking for himself and his executives:
1. The “Two Mercedes Car Allowance”: County executives receive $765 per month to pay for their vehicles. That’s enough to lease two Mercedes Benz!
2. On top of their pensions, an additional pension (defined contribution plan). Taxpayers pay 8 percent into this personal executive piggy bank.
3. Annual cash bonus: Executives get a $4,500 so-called “optional benefit,” which is supposed to pay for education. But since the County doesn’t require them to submit receipts, they take it all in cash and don’t have to tell anyone how they spent it!
4. Special vacation accruals: Executives can accrue more annual leave time than anyone else—up to 296 hours per year.
5. Extra annual leave cash outs: Executives can also cash out more than FOUR TIMES as much annual leave as OCEA employees can cash out each year. Executives get up to 170 hours!
6. Golden parachutes: When executives like Giancola retire, they get to cash out even more of their annual leave balances than anyone else. Some can get as much as 580 hours at 100 percent, and up to a total of 1,600 hours at up to 50 percent.
(All these perks have led to huge six-figure payouts—just read this story for more details about that.)
So we know County executives will be treating themselves nicely this holiday season. Judging by their approach at today’s negotiations, they’re not planning on giving the rank and file employees much more than a lump of coal.
We meet with the County again on December 11!!
We will continue fighting for a better approach—one that recognizes the sacrifices you and your families have made and rewards your hard work during these challenging years. Thank you for reading these updates and continuing to stay informed.
In solidarity,
Nick Berardino
OCEA General Manager

Shot him 5 times and he is recovering in police custody?
I would have caped his ass once and he would be in the custody of the morgue in a box!

Woman who falsely accused Duke lacrosse players of rape found guilty of murder
Back in 2006, the lives of several young men on the Duke lacrosse team were changed forever when they were falsely accused of gang rape by a woman whom they hired as a stripper at a party. Amid the scandal, the team's coach was forced to resign and the remainder of the season was canceled.
Now, the woman who accused them, Crystal Mangum, will spend some time behind bars after being found guilty of second-degree murder, according to Business Insider. Mangum was convicted Friday in the stabbing death of her boyfriend.
According to the report, Mangum stabbed 46-year-old Reginald Daye in April 2011 and claimed self-defense, saying Daye was beating her in a jealous rage when she grabbed a knife and "poked him in the side."
Mangum was sentenced to between 14 and 18 years in prison.
