| BERLIN (AFP) — Germany is bracing for its biggest May Day protests in years amid fears of a rise in social unrest caused by the worst recession since World War II in Europe’s biggest economy.

Barry and Candi Bust Cops In Odessa!!
TX Cops Get Busted
Barry Cooper’s new reality show ‘Kop Busters’ gets the footage for its pilot on 12/4/08.

Our broken criminal justice system ignored the evidence and railroaded her through court sentencing her to 8 years in prison.
