This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

	Good news is one less strain on the system too bad they didn't shoot all the family members. I'm sure they are all on the government dole. An unarmed 18-year-old man was shot and killed by a police officer Thursday in the Bronx as the teen allegedly was trying to flush drugs down a toilet, the fourth time police have shot and killed a suspect in as many weeks. Narcotics officers had arrested two other men whom they watched allegedly sell drugs just before 3 p.m. when they approached the teenager, Ramarley Graham. Mr. Graham ran into his nearby home at 749 E. 229th St., a law-enforcement official said. Mr. Graham rushed into a second-floor bathroom, where he was possibly trying to flush drugs, NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said. Mr. Graham spun around when an officer confronted him, and the officer shot him once in his chest after what Mr. Browne said was a struggle. It wasn't clear what caused the officer to fire. A law-enforcement official said Mr. Graham had eight prior arrests, including burglary, robbery, dealing marijuana and other offenses. The disposition of those cases wasn't known. Police didn't release the name of the officer involved. Constance Malcolm, 39, who said she was Mr. Graham's mother, stood crying outside the crime-scene tape that police had used to rope off the block where her son died. She said she was working as a nurse's aide at Cedar Manor Nursing & Rehabilitation Home when she heard from a neighbor that her son had been killed inside the family's apartment. She said her 6-year-old son and her mother were also home at the time. "The cops told me they were chasing him. He had weed, and that's it," Ms. Malcolm said. "Nobody deserves to be shot like that in their own house." http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203711104577199620095178212.html -----signature----- Fight white guilt and injustice by going to a Native American casino and gamble your money away. me pic http://acf.curbjaw.com/armchair.htm Formerly known as :armchair warrior, sysphus, fallen_deamon http://www.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form

	He didnt deserve to be shot but he shouldnt have been messing with drugs in the first place. He pretty much brought it on himself.(although like I said he didnt deserve to be shot and killed especially when he was unarmed) Now if he attacked a police officer, I say let them fire away whether he is unarmed or not. That something you just DONT do and live to tell about it imo. No one should be allowed to lay and aggressive hand on an officer of the law. The minute when an officer cant protect his own persons is the moment he is killed. -----signature----- Q: What's an AW? A: A whore that likes attention
