Not one person on this board believes you for one second that you didn't post that link without knowing damn well the identity of the killers.

Not one person. Not even the other Pro-Discrimination Liberals.

As I said, it's your modes operandi. It's as transparent a spring day. You posting something with a racial bent is all you've been good for lately, most unfortunately.

Your admittance of guilt has been duly noted by the court.

I didn't make an issue of the race of the killers. I pointed out that we all see you for the pathetic race huckster that you innocently deny.

"Who me? I didn't know the race of the killers. Nope. I'd never deliberately post an inflammatory article that I can use to further my agenda of all racism, all the time. I have no history of racial posts, racial threads, or deliberately, and consistently, trolling the Spin Room with accusations of racism."

You're our own little Al Sharpton.

True, but the kinds of people who kill someone for their phone are unlikely to have that type of specialized knowledge.

I have a jailbroken iPhone and iPad and it was quick and easy to do it - just download the program onto a computer, connect the device to that computer and run the program. I'm sure once a kill switch is added to phones a hack to defeat them won't be far behind. Besides, say a phone is stolen and then killed, would the person the thief sells it to know it? He'd probably buy it without even knowing it won't work. And most phones have GPS capabilities, so how come we're not finding all these phones with the crooks attached to them?

That is actually a very good question, I was driving in SC and saw a wreck, called 991 to report while seeing if the people were hurt, one had nasty cuts, the other a broken wrist and leg. The 911 operator asked me where I was, I knew the road, but not the mile marker or the area (land marks). She asked if my phone had GPS and if I had it on, I said yes. She tried the the number and pinged my GPS, within seconds she knew where I was within 50 feet.

That system is great when it works, but it is a disaster when it is wrong.

We spent several hours one rainy night looking for a woman who while intoxicated wrecked her car in an area she was unfamiliar with. She wasn't seriously injured, but the dash of the vehicle did move enough to pin her in the car enough for us to have to use the Jaws to get her out. The cell phone GPS put her about a mile from where she really was. We eventually found her when a deputy finally saw the reflection of her headlights on the rain soaked tree leaves at the bottom of the embankment.

Weather had a fact there for sure, me story was a sunny day, guy was texting and crossed the center line. Seen far too much of that and people crashing while talking on their phones when I was a volunteer fire fighter and EMT. And, I have experienced going to calls both before and after the GPS systems. I will say though the systems are getting better. I remember when dispatcher had to call cell companies and get to triangulate the signal from 3 towers, several we could find in time.
