  1. Disturbed – I’m Alive
  2. Limp Bizkit – Almost Over
  3. Disturbed – Indestructible
  4. Hellyeach – Alcohaulin’ Ass
  5. Nonpoint – Bullet With a Name
  6. Buckcherry – Crazy Bitch
  7. Disturbed – God of the Mind
  8. Nonpoint – In the Air Tonight
  9. Nonpoint – Alive and Kicking
  10. Airbourne – Too Much, Too Young, Too Fast
  11. Limp Bizkit – Build A Bridge
  12. Limp Bizkit – Red Light Green Light
  13. Skillet – Monster
  14. Sick Puppies – You’re Going Down
  15. Drowning Pool – Bodies
  16. Metallica – Don’t Tread on Me
  17. George Strait – I Saw God Today
  18. Breaking Benjamin – I Will Not Bow
  19. Brad Paisley – Then
  20. Hollywood Undead – Undead

So there’s the top 20.  You’ll notice the country starting to creep in there towards the end.  Most of that list is there because it can be heard over the tools in the shop, heard over the engine in the boat, and provides a mood to set me in a groove.  Rarely do I listen to country while in the shop, for some reason I can’t just focus while listening to country.  Surprisingly though there’s no techno in there,  I did expect to see Crystal Method – Name of the Game, at least.  I’ve got a bunch of Paul Oakenfold on here, most of them weigh in at an hour or longer, so the play count probably isn’t that high on them just because they won’t repeat as often.  Those I prefer for coding for the same reason as above, it just puts me in a groove.

Come to think of it though, I haven’t reset the statistics counter for a long time.  There’s probably some newer stuff that has to overcome the existing play counts.  Maybe it’s time to flush the counter I haven’t done it in at least 3 years.  See what my new popular list looks like after a month.

SSCC #221 -Madison WI

A federal court has ordered the city of Madison to pay members of a gun-rights group $10,000 to settle a lawsuit.

Notice its the city paying for the officers screw up, not the officers responsible.  Also note the damage bill is so low the city isn’t going to even notice, doubly so since the city insurance will probably pick up the bill.

This case started prior to the Wisconsin concealed carry law when open carry was their only option since it was legal.

State Sponsored Criminal Count 221: John Doe

Because deprivation of rights is a administration problem, no need for the actual perpetrators to pay.

SSCC #220 – Texas State Patrol

A state trooper has been indicted on several sexual abuse charges involving a child, the Texas Department of Public Safety confirmed Thursday.

A cop and a child molester, will this judge worry about his safety

State Sponsored Criminal Count 220: Davie Crockett Davis

Because safety of the officer always comes before the safety of the public and law abiding.

In which someone is probably offended.

For some reason many people get offended by this day or the oh so many other winter holidays.

Well, seriously people grow the fuck up.  I know there’s some scrooges out there, not everyone believes the same things, but we’re all a part of the same race.  When someone says Merry Christmas, they’re being polite and extending a greeting.  If you’re offended by that, well you’re being a dick!  When a Jewish person says, “Happy Haunakah” to me I don’t flip off the handle, I smile and extend the greeting back.

This is my pulpit so I can say whatever the hell I want.  So Merry FUCKING Christmas.  Seriously, you should partake in Dr. Joe’s cure all today, the holiday is a perfect excuse. 

See again, if you’re offended, just grow up and grow some thicker skin.  You may not agree with the way I said it, but you should at least agree with the sentiment.

SSCC #219 – Indy PD

A former Indianapolis police officer who set a string of apartment fires won’t serve time in jail.

The reason he’s not going to jail?

Judge Grant Hawkins expressed concern about Russell’s safety if he sentenced him to prison.

So remember, if you want to be a criminal, become a cop.  That way you can escape prison.  Not only that, but you can get your felony reduced after the fact.

If Russell successfully completes his probation he can come back to the court and ask for alternative misdemeanor sentencing.

Other than the anointed class, who else gets that kind of treatment?

State Sponsored Criminal Count 219: Jesse Russell Jr.

Because prison isn’t for bad police, it’s only for the the lowly peons.

SSCC #218 – Clarksburg WV

A man plowing snow for a church pastor claims a police chief violently and falsely arrested him, and that when he asked the chief to take it easy because he was disabled, the chief said, “Disabled my ass,” and kneed him in the back, dislocating four spinal probes.

No good deed goes unpunished, especially when a bored police chief has nothing better to do.  Have a disability not immeidately apparent,he doesn’t care and can risk spinal injury and beat the hell out of you.  Even if you’re not resisting arrest and have done nothing but try and help the public good.  Then you get stuck with the medical and legal bills while he keeps on treating the public like a group of children that he needs to beat on a regular basis.

Seriously go read the complaint, it’s down right despicable and the department should be bankrupted for the chiefs behavior and tolerating it.

State Sponsored Criminal Count 218: Chief Justin Burke Childers

Because the right thing to do when someone is helping clear snow in a blizzard is to beat the hell out of him while arresting him.  When they’re compliant and alert you of a medical condition you should call bull shit and work to aggravate that condition.
