I was about 20 feet away from the steps of the state house and you can actually hear me screaming on the video. Since I got a little carried away with my angry yelling and screaming, I remember thinking that someone was about to slap a pair of handcuffs on me and haul me away in a paddywagon! I can honestly say that I have never been that angry in my entire life.

It's not a matter of being able to "see" certain injuries. But it would be remarkable to not see that someone with such injuries was in pain.<br /><br />You might check out the comment from Max Shelby above, who has experience in emergency medicine.<br /><br />By the way, there is nothing in my posts about a conspiracy.

He knew he would be rescued by the pickup, and precisely calculated just how badly he could hurt himself without perishing? He isn't escaping anything, and is not a target of the prosecution. I thought you were supposed to be a LAWYER.<br /><br />Give it up. You sound like a small, pathetic, twisted soul.

I know several people who "ride" (their term) and they don't even go to the next state without a buddy and usually a ride across the country would involve a dozen or so.

Riley was an idiot for even taking a motorcycle on a gravel road traversed by trucks exceeding 60 miles an hour trying either to get to Prudhoe or back to Fairbanks. I had to drive the haul road almost weekly as a Land Manager for BLM. I lost many a windshield and had dents made in the side of the vehicle the size of cantaloupes, both by flying rocks and gravel from passing 18 Wheelers.<br /><br />There are two restaurants on the Dalton, one at the Yukon River and the other at Coldfoot, about two hours further north. Prudhoe is about a six hour trip from the Yukon River. The stories conflict in their details, so I can't tell which place they are describing, in fact, it seems that they two places are confused within each other.<br /><br />That being said, I think Riley may have lost it between the two restaurants, but nearer to the Yukon River. And the sudden convulsions. . .Puleeze! Riley knows good and well that testifying the truth now could very well put him in jail and will certainly ruin his chances for President (perish the thought). And lying about his involvement in things like Paragon Source on the stand to save his political career will confirm his reservation at the crossbar hotel. He is between the proverbial rock and hard place.Glacierbearnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-5963139838137041272011-07-09T07:05:04.869-05:002011-07-09T07:05:04.869-05:00"You want a job?

I matters not what you do when yuo leave wether you go on a bike ride to Alaska or enter a Trappist monastery, yiouy still stand acountable for what you did while you were in office. The past is past and it is not going away. Bob rRiley left this state in a financial mess. <br /><br />As soon as he was sworn in he started the machinery of government to make sure that several millioon dollars of our tax money went to finance a medical research facility to do what UAB was already doing. The guys who now own the operation made significant contributions to the Riley campaign. But since Riley is a Republican, he didn't violate the law doing so. <br /><br />Don Siegelman took a check to pay off the debt of a education lottery foundation. He was a Democrat and he was prosecuted. <br /><br />Oh course I don't expect JT to understand any of thisDavidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-43566832162090348882011-07-07T21:50:44.696-05:002011-07-07T21:50:44.696-05:00J.T.

I'm a journalist by background, so I just see it as reporting, with a strong dose of my analysis. But it starts with facts, and I see a lot of disturbing facts around the Riley regime. Unlike Barack Obama, I think we must look backwards before we can have any hope of moving forward. So I don't see Bob Riley, or his associates, as being off limits just because he is out of office--especially when it seems pretty clear that his son is lusting for the governor's office. Hope you will stay tuned. I'm always pleased to have conservative readers because I don't think we will correct our justice system without a bipartisan effort from citizens of all stripes.legalschnauzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619089628125964154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-14775182954913345472011-07-07T21:27:42.559-05:002011-07-07T21:27:42.559-05:00Roger,

You really look like the Clinton haters of the late '90s. He's no longer in public office and not on any ballot, and whether you like it or not he left office with a 50+ approval rating. Give it a rest, please, and focus your very good journalistic ability on other relevant issues that will positively affect, not divide, our great state.J.T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01059179532651761884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-31474555780677099172011-07-07T19:03:31.200-05:002011-07-07T19:03:31.200-05:00Okay, hello is anybody asking themselves how a 66 ...Okay, hello is anybody asking themselves how a 66 y/o man with seven fractured ribs, a fractured clavicle and a punctured lung is able to have a conversation?<br />Let alone ride 110 miles in a pick up truck, over lots of bumpy road and he can talk as if he isn't hurt that bad?<br />I can say this from former first hand experience--if he had those kinds of injuries he would be fighting for every breath!<br />I call big bs on this.<br />Check with a few paramedics and ER docs and ask them how plausible this nonsense really is!<br /><i>BTW--real nice of Todd Stacy, Taylor Nichols and Flashpoint to gang up on LS and LIA on their stupid little social twatser accounts.<br />I would expect that kind of nonsense from anyone who follows the ultra trashy Drunkey Single.

The very idea of her disgusting bashing of Bingo when her husband took 13 million from the Mississippi Choctaws to shut down the competition in Alabama. Not to mention that Robbie is up to his ears in gambling, representing gambling interests through his sleazy law firm. I am hopeful that Boob will get some rest and "heal up", and then return to Montgomery to testify. Let the truth about his corruption be known to all, even his ugly wife.

Even in a Federal trial?<br /><br />Surely, the answer to that is no, otherwise it's a huge loophole that could stop all kinds of federal cases... <br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br /><br />Generally No (4.00 / 1) <br />A Federal subpoena is good in any state. The Govt, in a criminal case, must offer to pay the witness' transportation costs and lodging costs while testifying.<br /><br />In a State case you must go through a procedure where in essence you get a Court in the jurisdiction where the witness is located to issue a subpoena requiring the witness to be in court in Alabama. You must pay transportation costs etc and you must certify that the witness will not be subject to being served with any other legal process while in the State.<br /><br />In Riley's situation, attorneys for Riley moved to "quash" the subpoena which, if granted, means he would not testify. The grounds for this is that Riley does not have any information that would be admissible and/or material to the Bingo Trial. The Fed Judge has ruled that Riley will not be required to appear unless testimony at trial indicates that he can testify to material facts. Furthermore it was agreed that if Riley does have to testify he will be given several days notice of when to appear.Redeyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16726342951810334788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-34039162637473600492011-07-07T14:03:04.370-05:002011-07-07T14:03:04.370-05:00What exactly are Riley's ties to such conserva...What exactly are Riley's ties to such conservative criminals as Karl Rove?<br />***<br />August 6, 2009<br /><br />Thank you for your e-email expressing your concern regarding criminal behavior conducted by Karl Rove.

Other points: Gadsden Times "...Good call Roger! Other points: Gadsden Times "Two people Riley had met at a restaurant at the Yukon River happened upon the accident scene, which was on the road made infamous by the television show Ice Road Truckers.” If they "met" him earlier, why were they trying to figure out his name and who he was? Hubbard stated Riley said he had met an individual earlier that day and was riding with "him/her". Why didn't that person help, could it have been Delaney? It was reported one of them (Smith/DeMolen) visited Riley everyday in the hospital. DeMolen, it is reported didn't see BR again after dropping him at hospital...therefore, Smith was the visitor. How did a non-family member visit in ICU? A private investigator needs to look into DeMolen and Smith to check out their spending habits, bank accounts, background, and friends. The picture of the bike has little damage. I have been on a bike that laid down, I was scuffed up and that was it. Others agree by the looks of things his injuries are unwarranted. The need to put the comment about the cell phone coverage is just a spin response to the bloggers that are asking how could he call Hubbard daily but not call for help. More dirty Riley. Keep the story alive! Thanks.Mollihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01287033587534729630noreply@blogger.com
