Admittedly this is only one side of the story, but perhaps it will make readers as uncomfortable as it did me.An Ottawa taxi driver, Sami Aldobani, is nursing a broken wrist, broken fingers and other injuries after being attacked by a thug in an apparent fit of road rage.
The thug followed him down the Airport Parkway into the Airport Taxi parking lot. Both men exited their cars, and the thug shouted racist insults, then proceeded to beat the taxi driver savagely until fellow cabbies pulled him off and restrained him.
This is where it gets interesting. The thug hauled out a police ID and showed it to a witness, one of thirty or so who had gathered. Two police officers arrived a few minutes later, he showed them his ID, and the two officers then told the gathering crowd to back off.
The police officers then got into the back seat of the thug's grey Nissan Xterra SUV and the thug drove away with them. Four other officers arrived, and one drove the officers' patrol car away.
The cabbie spent the night in hospital. The cops say that they are holding no one in custody at present, but are "investigating."
More of the culture of cop impunity? You decide.
UPDATE: Local CBC news is reporting that the assailant was indeed a police officer. He remains on active duty while the alleged "investigation" continues. A police spokesperson said the latter "may take some time." Anyone seen this movie before?

Today, while I was at work, my sister stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a 30 foot drop,
just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now destroyed
and she has 83 views. I know this is totally off topic but I had to
share it with someone!

Hi there! Do you know if they make any plugins to protect
against hackers? I'm kinda paranoid about losing everything I've worked hard on.
Any suggestions?
my blog - easy way
With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright
infringement? My blog has a lot of unique
content I've either written myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my authorization. Do you know any techniques to help prevent content from being stolen? I'd definitely appreciate it.

Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it
to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the
shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside
and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back!
LoL I know this is totally off topic but
I had to tell someone!

Heya just happened upon your website from Bing after I typed in, "Blogger: Dawg's Blawg" or
perhaps something similar (can't quite remember exactly). In any case, I'm delighted I found it because your
content is exactly what I'm searching for (writing a university paper) and I hope you don't mind if I collect some material
from here and I will of course credit you as the source.
Thanks.

Hi there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers?
My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended
up losing months of hard work due to no back up.
Do you have any solutions to prevent hackers?
