Britney Spears had access to a gun during standoff
K-Fed, 29, panicked on Thursday night after realising the fallen pop princess kept the handgun—a Beretta 92FS—in the master bedroom where she was holding the kids, Jayden James, one, and Sean Preston, two.
Convinced that in her out-of-control state she would use the weapon to kill the lads then turn it on her herself, the wannabe rapper rang his lawyers who alerted the authorities. "Kevin knew she was on the edge and might snap at any time.
"Knowing there were TWO firearms in the house, including the Beretta, he wasn't taking any chances— hence the massive police response." That is some chilling shit.

India issues ultimatum to ICC
Just making an observation, absolutely no insult intended. Agree (0) Alert moderator Darryl: 08 Jan 2008 10:06:09am What seems to be forgotten in all of this "debate" is that this is not the first time that Harbajhan has been in this situation with Symonds. He used the same terminology in India in the last series. In that series, it was dealt with between the two teams without involving the umpires or the ICC etc. and Harbajhan was in no doubt that Symonds found the term "monkey" as offensive because classed someone as being sub-human. Harbajhan agreed not to repeat the event. Given this sort of background, it doesn't seem much like an innocent mistake by Harbajhan to me. I am not sure that I would have dealt with it quite the way that Ponting did - no-one does until they are in the same situation themselves - but I am quite sure that because of the context that I would have dealt with it.
