maniacbastard: I figure I like figitives, particularly emperor figatives fresh from my neighbors figgy tree.



Hmmmmm fresh figs.

\figgity

You know what fig rhymes with?

Crispy: I like how they say the sex offenders were the cream of the crop. I wonder how many of the "sex offenders" took a piss out doors or something equally lame to get that term.

Many times these task forces focus on only the most serious criminals. There must have been a few "oh shiat the waterslide pulled off my trunks for 3 seconds" in there, but I would venture to say that the vast majority were pretty bad people.

figgitaboutit!

Well the Cleveland Indians, Browns, and Cavs stink beyond recognition so they needed to be arrested.

35,000 crooks and only 82 guns? Methinks they left off a couple of zeroes.

TommyymmoT: Why are they not arrested on a continuous basis?

They let criminals roam the streets until the numbers are impressive enough to warrant some big ass self serving media event?

It's quite obvious that they already knew where the bad guys were.
Were they waiting for mom to get back with the family minivan or something?

Could you imagine your rage if one raped and murdered your child, and they knew he was capable of it, but didn't want to pick him up because it was a Friday, and news coverage of the bust would have gotten lost over the weekend?

Scumbags.

Also, of note is they waited until the bulk of the Michael Jackson media circus passed.

What the hell is a 'U.S. Marshal' anyway? Aren't there enough farking former hall monitors with badges running around as it is?

OGC: How many of them were figgers?

/what?

That's fegroes...they prefer fegroes

good0179: I can't believe that no one has posted the Hastily Made Cleveland Tourism Video (new window).

Classic.

When the Black guy was on the phone and the song went, "Who the frkk still uses a pay phone," I thought I heard "Ooo, the buck still uses a pay phone," and then I thought

I was told there would be no math.

I no get it, Subby. Fugures. I no can dooz maff.

Just figit about it.

Alright, listen up, people. Our fugitive has been on the run for ninety minutes. Average foot speed over uneven ground barring injuries is 4 miles-per-hour. That gives us a radius of six miles. What I want from each and every one of you is a hard-target search of every gas station, residence, warehouse, farmhouse, henhouse, outhouse and doghouse in that area. Checkpoints go up at fifteen miles. Your fugitive's name is Dr. Richard Kimble. Go get him.

Oo-ee, gooey, rich and chewy inside.
Golden, flaky, tender cakey outside.
Wrap the inside in the outside.
Is it good?fark NO, it's got a farking WASP in it!

Ok, so if the population of the US is about 350 million, marshals arrested 25 thousand fugitives, or about .0001% of the population of the United States. According to Wikipedia, Cleveland had a population of 478,403 in the 2000 census and 1211 were arrested. Marshals arrested .0002531% of Cleveland.

Hello Cleveland!

wiki: "In figs of this sort, the crunchy bits in the fruit contain both seeds and wasps."

Sweet Lord that's horrible.

How were all these asshats on the streets to begin with?
/rope + tree = inexpensive end of problem

Cleveland Rocks! the crack cocaine

Take some figs, cut them in half and stuff a piece of provolone or fontina cheese in it, then wrap with a slice of prosciutto. Throw them on the grill to heat through then drizzle with some fig infused balsamic vineger and eat.
/pure heaven

How many were black?

Over a 30-day period, U.S. Marshalls arrested over 35k fugitives...

The same old question - clearly they must have known where most of these people were before the special 30 day window came up - so why didn't they just arrest them right away? Let's have some figures on how many crimes these people commit every year while the feds are waiting to hold their annual publicity stunt.

So what are they going to do with the 500 kilos of narcotics they picked up? The street value for that has to be at least $50 Million!

Wow, generally you don't see the police that active unless there was a financial incentive. Are all those a ticketing offense?

USA: 35,000+ arrested, out of population of 304,000,000

Ohio: 1,211 arrested, out of population of 11,485,000.

About average for their share of the population.

KingErf: Oh dang, almost forgot, getting a kick out of these replies...

Also, LOL, U.S. Marshalls Service, learn to spell subby, its Marshals.

I wondered when someone would point that out.

FTFA:
Among the 35,190 fugitives apprehended during Operation FALCON (Federal and Local Cops Operating Nationally) were 2,356 fugitive sex offenders, the service said.

"This might be considered the cream of the crop for the most violent felons that are out there. For example, we arrested 433 murder suspects," said U.S. Marshals director John F. Clark at a Chicago, Illinois, news conference."

Did no one notice that sex offenders were the 'cream' of the crop?
