Remember last week when the Philadelphia Phillies won the World Series? It was pretty awesome. Of course Philly fans celebrated the victory the only way they know how... by destroying shit. This poor guy is an example of the wrath of destruction. His car was flipped over on Broad Street and he cannot afford to repair it or purchase a new one. Donate to this guy if you were there or are just feeling generous....
"In an elaborate robbery scheme that's one part The Thomas Crowne Affair and one part Pineapple Express, a crook robbed an armored truck outside a Bank of America branch in Monroe, Wash., by hiring decoys through Craigslist to deter authorities.
It gets better: He then escaped in a creek headed for the Skykomish River in an inner tube, and the cops are still looking for him. "A great amount of money" was taken, Monroe police said, but did not provide a dollar value.
It appears to have unfolded this way, according to a Seattle-based NBC affiliate: around 11:00 a.m. PDT on Tuesday, the robber, wearing a yellow vest, safety goggles, a blue shirt, and a respirator mask went over to a guard who was overseeing the unloading of cash to the bank from the truck. He sprayed the guard with pepper spray, grabbed his bag of money, and fled the scene.
But here's the hilarious twist. The robber had previously put out a Craigslist ad for road maintenance ... Read more
"102 people were arrested after fans took to the streets in an impromptu protest march after a Rage Against the Machine concert in Minneapolis Wednesday night.
Before letting out the concert, fans were asked to stay peaceful and to remain above the tactics of the police but were told that they didn't have to be passive.
Thousands poured out of the Target Center and were met by dozens of police on their bikes and in riot gear but the crowd thinned to a few hundred after a relatively short time. The remainder gathered on First Avenue, stopped traffic and began to chant, "Who's streets? Our streets!"
"Kay Underwood, 20, has cataplexy, which means that almost any sort of strong emotion triggers a dramatic weakening of her muscles. Exhilaration, anger, fear, surprise, awe and even embarrassment can also cause sufferers to suddenly collapse on the spot.
Victims are often left paralysed for several minutes, although they always retain the ability to hear what is going on around them.
Kay, of Barrow-upon-Soar, Leicestershire, who was diagnosed with the condition five years ago, once collapsed more than 40 times in a single day. She said: "People find it very odd when it happens, and it isn't always easy to cope with strangers' reactions.
"Once, when I collapsed on some stairs, a woman walked past, hit me over the head and said I should have collapsed in a more convenient place."
I would have punched that bitch in the face, once the temporary paralysis wore off of course.
The campaign, which plastered the London subway with posters advertising the charms of South Carolina and five major U.S. cities to gay European tourists, landed with a resounding thud in South Carolina, where the issue of gay rights has long been a political flashpoint.
The advertisements were timed for London’s Gay Pride Week, which ended Saturday. The posters touted the attractions of the state to gay tourists, including its “gay beaches” and its Civil War-era plantations."
The 30-year-old woman, a publishing firm manager, was apparently drunk on champagne when she headed onto Jumeirah Beach with a fellow Brit known only as Vince.
A police officer later found them in the middle of a steamy copulation, and let them off with a caution. When he returned a few minutes later, the couple were at it again -- and were summarily arrested. Apparently the United Arab Emirates has strict laws on public sex. Who knew?
The woman then launched into a four-letter racist tirade against the Muslim official, and was later charged with indecent behaviour, public drunkenness and assaulting a police officer. She now faces between three months and six years in jail, as does her (temporary) partner."
If you're doing something illegal and get caught, wouldn't you then stop?
Police tell The (Baltimore) Sun they learned about the shipment when it was delivered Tuesday to the wrong resident. Authorities posed as FedEx employees and arrested the shipment's intended recipient, 30-year-old Richard Gwatidzo.
Officials say he was charged Thursday with possession of a large quantity of a controlled dangerous substance with intent to distribute along with other drug related charges."
This bums me out. Not that the marijuana's being confiscated, but that this guy's going to go to jail for something that really shouldn't be a crime, and he'll probably get one hell of a sentencing, too. The fact that he's being charged with "possession of a large quantity of a controlled dangerous substance disgusts me. It's not any worse for you than cigarettes or... Read more
