| Good News (for a change): SUSPECT ARRESTED IN VICIOUS ATTACK ON COP |
| 2004-09-01 |
| A suspect was arrested last night in the vicious beating of a cop at a protest Monday, a law-enforcement source said. Jamal Holiday of Manhattan, who turns 20 today, will likely be spending his birthday in jail for assaulting Detective William Sample Jr., according to the source. "Jamal, meet your new cell-mate, Bubba McDoom." Sample, meanwhile, was on the mend at home. The 10-year veteran who usually investigates taxi-business crimes, was badly bruised and suffered internal injuries in the attack that Mayor Bloomberg called "outrageous" A "protest legal team" member from the National Lawyer's Guild was right there at the time of the attack, his official green NLG hat clearly visible in the video, but has not yet been publicly identified. Could this be the source who outed Jamal (as an officer of the court would be required to do on pain of disbarment)? |

| #14 NYC's state courts have never enforced (in recent times) the death penalty. Morgenthau et al need to be booted out! |

| #13 Mr. Holiday better hope somebody hides the NYPD's broomhandles. You can bet the NYPD is looking forward to hiding at least one of them. |

| #11 I just saw the video again. Definately a black punk kid in a black and white baseball cap doing some stomping. |

| #10 Charles, NYC doesn't have a death-penalty law as that is from the state. |

| #8 I certainly hope Jamal gets a sound beating from the prison guards. I'm sure he is attempting to "escape" as we speak... |

| #6 Antone want to bet that the 'legal eagle' on the scene will testifiy the young Jamal was attacked first by the cop? Bulldog I went to school with lots of kids named Muhamad, Achmed, Jamal, etc and they certainly were not muslim. Just a naming phase the black community was/is going through. On a side note all the loons are having a definate affect on the electorate. |

| #5 Bulldog, my understanding is that if convicted, cop-killers can be sentenced to death and automatically get put at the top of the waiting list on death row. I also think NYC shortened appeals on cop-killers, but I'm not sure about that. |

| #4 I expect you guys've got appropriately robust sentences for attempted cop-killers. |

| #3 No not likely. Perhaps a "nation of islam" member. I even doubt that. Some people just give their offspring pure crappy names. I imagine it was some family trying to celebrate it's "blackness" by giving their child the name of an arab oppressor. The one vidio clip I saw showed what I though to be one black kid (early 20's) making a kicking motion, a woman in a green hat (supposedly a lawyer) and the cops ruinning in. My guess is "Jamal" is the punk doing the kicking. |

| #2 Jamal Holiday? A convert to the Religion of Peace(TM)? |

| #1 Unfortunately, it is kind of a crap-shoot whether the guy will get punished. If Holiday is tried in at least one NYC court, the judge is libel to help him escape out the back. |
