SFist Interviews: John Ortved, Author of The Simpsons: An Uncensored, Unauthorized History
Well, for those of you dying to know what the feds got when they raided erstwhile District 4 supervisor and criminal defendant Ed Jew's house, the records have been unsealed! From Ed's house, $10,000 in cash in $100 bills and some computers.
More intriguingly, though, you may remember that the feds also raided Ed's buddy Robert Chan's house (though he was referred to by the mellifluous name "Co-Conspirator No. 1" at the time). Not only did they find $20,000 (in $100 bills) at Chan's house, but also a box of hollow-point ammunition bullets. Chan's attorney says that the bullets are "of no consequence" to the investigation. Well, sure, we'd say that too if our client had a box of hollow-point bullets readily available!
Oh, and one last thing! So it turns out the only reason why the feds raided Ed's house? It turns out Ed noticed he kept being followed by cars and called the SFPD to ask if they could run the plates -- at which point the SFPD alerted the FBI, who decided they had to move. That is so bad spy movie! It reminds us of that Simpsons episode where Marge says "I think we're being spied on!" and then a van pulls away from their house and another pulls up, labeled "Flowers By Irene."

Would somebody please just tell me if spies and FBI agents really carry around tampons to dress bullet wounds? The suspense is fucking killing me.
Yes they do.
And in other news, you totally missed the chance to use this headline (you can have it for free if you like):
ED JEW! HOLLOW CAN YOU GO?
Or: ED JEW: AMMO GONNA CALL THE FEDS IF YOU KEEP FOLLOWING ME AROUND.
(Bit long that one)
I know this is terrible, but I miss the days when he was just referred to as 'Jew'. It made the Chron headlines so much more interesting.
I know, right? It's like Chron was walking right up to the edge there for a while. Let's get some mileage out of the "Jew" thing, can't we?
Journalistically, I think that hollow-pointed ammunition should always be referred to as cop-killer bullets. I adore that term.
Incandenza... Once the headline of the City Star was City Moves To Oust Jew. I adored that headline.
Chinese had to be paper wongs to get into this country. you live 20 miles out of your district? not such a big deal.
"Paper wong"? Anyone?
WTH are "hollow-point ammunition bullets"? A self-contained metallic cartridge of ammunition contains a bullet, case, powder, and primer. The "bullet" is only the chunk of metal which comes out of the muzzle of the barrel. Hollow point bullets are no big deal and are the preferred bullet for personal defense and police.
Aren't hollow-point bullets more explodey?
Hollow point bullets expand to a larger diameter than their caliber. They don't explode.
My point is that "hollow-point ammunition bullets" is a jumbled up phrase indicating a gross lack of knowldge about firearms or related subjects.
Hollow points expand in soft tissue, reducing the chances of over penetration and hitting two people with one bullet. They deform more easily when striking hard or semi-hard objects, expending energy and decreasing velocity, reducing the dangers from ricochets. They are more likely to quickly incapacitate a bad guy. These make them ideal for personal defense or law enforcement.
They also are less likely to penetrate body armor than 'normal' Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) bullets of the same weight, caliber, and velocity.
In short, so what if he had hollow points? Most firearm owners have at least some hollow points. That he had hollow points vs FMJ bullets, semi-wadcutters, lead round nose, frangibles, poly-tipped, or partition bullets is complete noise.
