Locate the resource it's blocked on and unblock it. Not necessarily
feasible, but usually the only way. However, note that once you've
killed such a process (i.e. sent it the signal, not actually had it
disappear yet) it's not going to be doing any more harm (or work for
that matter), so unless it's stopping you unmounting a filesystem it
doesn't really matter that its corpse is still littering your process
table.

Third, I propose prompt action on legislation extending and reforming the
state's asset seizure law. The current law, which is a valuable tool for law
enforcement in its fight against drug criminals, is set to expire on January
1st. This law provides over $30 million a year to law enforcement agencies,
and should be quickly renewed. - Kathy Brown
