click on the video link next to the harris case for the actual video. You'll need real player to run it i think.

my favorite part of this article:

"Scalia said Harris intentionally placed himself and the public in danger by unlawfully engaging in reckless, high-speed flight.

He rejected the argument by lawyers for Harris that safety could have been assured if the police had simply ceased their pursuit."

Now don't you just love lawyers? Clearly this Harris guy thought he was wronged by being put in a wheelchair for the rest of his life by the mean police.
oh well.

Vetrook , could you give us computer skill lacking grunts some instruction on how to post a link like you did ? Seriously, I've had some I wanted to share but have no clue how to make it appear in a post where you can just click on the highlighted blue link. Thanks brother. I'm probably not the only one who wants to have this ability and has no clue how to do it.

[mod 167]

1. Go to the web site that you want to display.

2. At the command line (Where the web address is) use your mouse to Right Click on the command line that the web address appears. A drop down list will appear and simply click on COPY.

3. Then go to this forum and click on the thread you want to reply in.

4. When that page opens, go to the bottom of the page and click Post Reply.

5. Left click your mouse within the message box so that the cursor is blinking.

6. Then use your mouse and Right Click within the reply message box.

7. Another drop down message box will appear. Select PASTE. The web address link will appear.

From there you can write above or below the pasted link as normal.

Hope that helps. If not ask again and maybe someone else can explain it better.

Good Luck,

Mod 167
