Can anybody please add something to my ”Righteous Kill” review cuz i think it’s not adequate?
So it’s De Niro and Al Pacino again after “The Godfather Part II (1974) and
Heat (1995)”. I mean, come on let’s face it, it has been a while since they got
along and acted together, in fact it’s been thirteen years since their last release
in this film directed by Jon Avnet, and starring Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, John
Leguizamo and also Carla Gugino, Donnie Wahlberg, and Curtis “50 Cent”
Jackson. The film was released in the United States on September 12, 2008.
Tom “Turk” Cowan and David “Rooster” are both NYPD Detectives and
partners for over thirty years. The story is set in New-York city where lots of
criminals exist. The story involves an investigation into the activities of a serial
killer within the police department who is murdering many convicts who have
been let off the case by legal loopholes and attempts his acts with poetry and
leaves no trace of evidence which prevents him from getting caught.
The film is absolutely spectacular, especially for those people who are devoted
action fans. The film is very mysterious. It has a number of astonishing twists of
the plot as well as unpredictable ending. I mean like, how the partnership makes
the two central characters care about each other. Actors such as De Niro and
Pacino are the most important characters in the film because they almost play
the entire scene on their own. This movie could have been slightly improved by
making one of the characters like Spider “50-cent” get along more with the
principal characters (De Niro & Pacino as in Tom Turk and David Rooster),
mainly for the reason that 50-cent is a star and people would be disappointed
because he only had a cameo role. But other than that the film is great and I
would recommend people to watch it.

If DNA evidence is found of a suspected rape, can the police break down the door?
I’m writing a story, and it involves a case of a rape murder. Traces of semen was found in the body, and went under DNA testing, finding exact results. Now, if the criminal was famous, and the police knew where this criminal lived, do they have permission to break into the house? Like, kick the door down or something?

I remember a trip to London several years ago, going to the British Museum and seeing that Egyptian Cross. You are right, it is signifying male & female sex organs. In many religions that do not even follow Christ, there are crosses. The swastika is a bent cross. This is all originally coming from Babylon where all false and even harmful teachings come from.
The principal god of the imperial city was Marduk, also called Merodach in the scriptures. Triads of deities were also prominent in the Babylonian religion. Two gods in one was Sin the moon-god. Shamash was the sun-god.
If you do a study of religions of the world you will see how false teachings became implanted into those professed Christian religions.
The reason it matters is: ‘People are being lied to”. That is significant enough for me!

DNA evidence is conclusive, meaning it is more than enough evidence to justify the need for a warrant, in which case if the suspect does not respond to a knock on the door, the police may force an entry (kick down a door if necissary). If the suspect is known to be armed and dangerous a tacticle unit (small likely) will aprehend the suspect through the means of forced entry without warning in order to lower the risk of the suspect being able to react violently. SO the answer to your scenario is yes there is more than enough evidence to gain the rights to a warrant and therefore the right to force entry into the suspects suspected location. Of course im assuming that the individual who was matched was already a suspect, not a new name, in which case the police would conduct an investigation and gater more ground for a warrant.

(Matthew 16:24) Then Jesus said to his disciples: “If anyone wants to come after me, ……?
…..let him disown himself and pick up his torture stake and continually follow me.
Here is some facts about it being a cross or torture stake ) Sex worship is indicated by the Egyptian cross, the crux ansata. This symbol represents the male and female sex organs united, thus constituting the key of life. On one wall appears a picture of a god holding a cross to signify that he is giving Pharaoh life. Interestingly, Syrians visiting Egypt nearly 2,000 years before the Common Era were wearing crosses similar to those of today. That the cross was passed on to the apostate Egyptian Christians is evident from their tombstones dating from the fifth to the ninth centuries of our Common Era.
The beautiful Phoenician ivories bear unmistakable traces of Egyptian influence. Clothing, head cloths, gods and the cross of Egypt were passed on to the Phoenicians. Additionally, they had the sacred pole, a religious symbol of the male sex organ. But, even worse, the Phoenicians practiced the depraved religion centered around the fertility god Baal. It involved abhorrent rites of child sacrifice, the babies’ ashes being placed in cinerary urns.
The cross did not become popular as a symbol in Christendom until the fourth century C.E., when Roman emperor Constantine adopted the labarum, a flag bearing the symbol [Artwork—Greek character]. However, this represented, not Jesus’ death stake, but the Greek letters khi (X) and hro (P) one atop the other. Many began to view this symbol as depicting the first two letters of the Greek word for Christ (XRistos).
The Greek word rendered “cross” in many modern Bible versions is stau·ros′. In classical Greek, this word meant merely an upright stake, or pale. Later it also came to be used for an execution stake having a crosspiece. The Imperial Bible-Dictionary acknowledges this, saying: “The Greek word for cross, [stau·ros′], properly signified a stake, an upright pole, or piece of paling, on which anything might be hung, or which might be used in impaling [fencing in] a piece of ground. . . . Even amongst the Romans the crux (from which our cross is derived) appears to have been originally an upright pole.”—Edited by P. Fairbairn (London, 1874), Vol. I, p. 376.
In connection with the execution of God’s Son? It is noteworthy that the Bible also uses the word
xy′lon to identify the device used. A Greek-English Lexicon, by Liddell and Scott, defines this as meaning: “Wood cut and ready for use, firewood, timber, etc. . . . piece of wood, log, beam, post . . . cudgel, club . . . stake on which criminals were impaled . . . of live wood, tree.” It also says “in NT, of the cross,” and cites Acts 5:30 and 10:39 as examples. (Oxford, 1968, pp. 1191, 1192) However, in those verses KJ, RS, JB, and Dy translate xy′lon as “tree.” (Compare this rendering with Galatians 3:13; Deuteronomy 21:22, 23.)
The book The Non-Christian Cross, by J. D. Parsons (London, 1896), says: “There is not a single sentence in any of the numerous writings forming the New Testament, which, in the original Greek, bears even indirect evidence to the effect that the stauros used in the case of Jesus was other than an ordinary stauros; much less to the effect that it consisted, not of one piece of timber, but of two pieces nailed together in the form of a cross. . . . It is not a little misleading upon the part of our teachers to translate the word stauros as ‘cross’ when rendering the Greek documents of the Church into our native tongue, and to support that action by putting ‘cross’ in our lexicons as the meaning of stauros without carefully explaining that that was at any rate not the primary meaning of the word in the days of the Apostles, did not become its primary signification till long afterwards, and became so then, if at all, only because, despite the absence of corroborative evidence, it was for some reason or other assumed that the particular stauros upon which Jesus was executed had that particular shape.”—Pp. 23, 24; see also The Companion Bible (London, 1885), Appendix No. 162.
Thus the weight of the evidence indicates that Jesus died on an upright stake and not on the traditional cross.
With research of documented prof why do the clergy teach that Jesus died on a cross that is in truth a pagan symbol for sex worship?
Why do the people follow this false belief when there is prof that is overwhelming that their Savior didn’t die on this pagan symbol?
Alaric ??? Reread, nowhere is there referenceJesus couldof died on a pagan sex symbol.
RevDr ??? Only man refers to the cross, this is a pagan sex symbol & the symbol for the pagan sun god Tau. You need to research scripture not man made doctrines(2 Tim 4:3-4)
Ernie ???? What? Did they turn the channel knob on the cross from sex worship to the death of Christ? Tau the sun god’s symbol is the cross, maybe it was on that channel.
Graham It means mans salvation, Christ died for all mankind, being hung on a sex symbol is a false teaching. Gen 3:15 the first prophecy says that this would happen, I don’t think our God would use a pagan sex symbol or the symbol of the pagan sun god as place his Son would die on, do you?
