The Newer, Softer Criminal

They just don’t make criminals like they used to. Our first case of what the hell is Timothy Chapek. He broke into someone’s house, inexplicably took a shower, then heard the homeowners come home, and freaked out. Did he hide in a closet or maybe wait for them to go away or perhaps try to …

The Unthinkable Was Certainly Not Untried

In the 1950’s, lots of attrocities happened at residential schools. According to this class action lawsuit, W. Ross Macdonald was not immune. If all of this stuff went down the way they say it did, somebody needs to pay, and in a perfect world, I’d like to see some folks go to jail, even though …

There Was Some Measure Of Justice, But Not Enough

Well, there’s an update on the Central High School rape case, and it’s not a good one. Someone who was responsible for the loss of all that evidence and the way they handled the victim has been charged with a crime, but the crime is not nearly what it should be. I would have thought …

Which Is He? A Woman Or A Baby?

This little incident just may have revealed bigger problems with this family. An unnamed 17-year-old Orlando boy was laying on his bed with his 12-year-old sister and a 9 mm pistol.

I think I may have had a run-in with one of our harmonicas from December. If she’s not one of them, she should be considered to be one. I took Trixie outside for business. As I returned to the door, I could hear someone having considerable trouble with the door. Our door has a long …

His Driving Record Went Down The YouTubes

Man oh man, the people who want to get on YouTube for stupid reasons. This guy won’t be going on YouTube, but his videos will get a few views, probably by cops and a jury if he’s stupid enough to fight the speeding fine he got. Police pulled Stanislav Bakanov over for speeding. He said …

Thoughts On The Troubles In Libya And Everywhere Else

I haven’t talked about what’s going on in Egypt and Libya and Bahrain And Tunisia and everywhere else over there that I may have forgotten about. It’s not that I don’t think it’s important. I guess it’s just that I felt I didn’t have anything else to add except holy crap look at the carnage …

He Asked You To Do What? And You Did It?

Wow. Speaking of frightening things people fall for… Steven Demink liked to cruise through online dating sites. He would steal pictures of male models and use them as his headshots. He called himself a psychologist and single father. He would find mothers, and convince them that as some form of therapy, they should engage in …
