Arkansas Cop Killer Linked to ‘Patriot’ Movement

Jerry Ralph Kane Jr., the man who was killed with his son Thursday after apparently gunning down two West Memphis, Ark., police officers, traveled the country before the encounter giving classes in “redemption foreclosure mortgage fraud” — an apparent variation on a scheme common among antigovernment “Patriots.”

According to a blurb on a website called Pro Blog: Blog for Professionals, that was the title that Kane gave to an all-day class he gave on Aug. 29, 2009, in Fontana, Calif. In several YouTube videos of the Fontana class, Kane can be heard discussing such Patriot theories as the idea that only gold and silver are real money.

Packers Schedule Released: Things Are Looking Up

The schedule was just released and I say bring on the Eagles . . . and the Bills and the Patriots and, of course, the Vikings. With the home opener against the Lions (blah) not until Sunday, October 3, Packers fans will be revving to go for some action at the Frozen Tundra. The first game is at the Eagles, the second at the Bills, and the third at the Bears. With opponents like the Cowboys and the Patriots, the Packers rank 22nd in terms of how hard their season is for 2010.

The cumulative record of our opponents for the 2009 season is 125-131-0. With the Lions and the Bears still expected to struggle next season, and the fate of the Vikings yet-to-be-determined quarterback, I think it’s safe to say that the Packers are in a great spot for the NFC North title.
