Me neither. Initially, Fennick approached the deputies and asked why they were there. After …
Uncover Letter
Call me out of touch, old fashioned, whatever you like. But for some foolish reason, I still like to think that in my world, there live a few people smart enough not to keep naked pictures of themselves on their phones. Naked pictures of themselves that they might later accidentally text to the human resources …
Me, Or Whoever This Dodgy Looking Guy Is, Didn’t Do The Crime, Officer
Here’s something you don’t see every day. A store owner making a video to tell the story of a man who tried to shoplift from him, got caught, ran off, and then went to the police station to complain about the posters of him that ended up around town and in the newspaper the next …

Keith Griffin’s goddamn cat is at it again. Richard Hovan, a former math teacher being tried on charges that he had carried on an affair with a 16-year-old student, claimed that the open container of lube found in his apartment was not opened by him, because that would have been impossible. More likely, he claimed, …

I’m Sorry, But If I Don’t Rob You I Won’t Be Able To Pay The Cab Fare It Took To Get Here
It’s sadly common to hear stories about a parent leaving a kid or two out in the car while they nip inside to rob a place. But what’s not so common and for a very good reason I should add is the car in question being a cab. The incident occurred shortly before 3:30 a.m. …

Thanks To the U.K. Government, Children Will No Longer Have Access To Age Inappropriate Music Videos Until They Put In 30 Seconds Of Work
What a fantastic, child protecting initiative this is. I’m sure it will work exactly as intended. But don’t just take my word for it.
