Chinese delivery guy dresses as Batman and busts criminal

6 Mar

Is this a statement about how tight budgets for basic services are or a statement on the ubiquity of super hero culture?

Revealed – identity of man dressed as Batman who handed in wanted man at Bradford police station

Tuesday 5 March 2013  |  www.halifaxcourier.co.uk

A mystery man who walked into a police station dressed as Batman to hand over an alleged criminal has revealed himself as a Chinese takeaway delivery man.

Stan Warby, 39, reportedly said he had been at a football match dressed as the superhero when his friend called him asking for help in handing himself in to officers.

He accompanied Danny Frayne to Bradford police station as a favour, after returning from Bradford City’s cup final clash against Swansea at London’s Wembley Stadium on February 25.

Mr Warby was dressed head to toe as the comic book hero when he anonymously took his 27-year-old friend at Trafalgar House police station in the early hours of the morning.

Sinkhole that took man’s life may be considered his grave

5 Mar

The details of this story are startling and heartbreaking. A healthy 37 year old man man perishes when his bedroom is swallowed by a sinkhole. A weeping brother who recounts his attempted rescue. The relative clutching a tattered family bible carefully salvaged by precision backhoe work by solemn demolition crews. Jeffrey Bush was only 37 when he lost his life. What about the rest of his family? The house was in their family for generations. These are tough times for a working class family to have such tragic losses. Imagine losing everything you own and news crews from around the world watch you literally pick thru what you have left.

Sources say “sinkhole season” has only begun in Florida and another has been found 2 miles away. I hope tragedies like these lead to better uses of land and water resources. People’s lives may depend on it, and not hypothetical future generations but people living in Florida today. Don’t let Jeffrey Bush’s death be for naught.

 

 

 

Florida sinkhole now considered victim’s grave

March 5, 2013  |  www.freep.com

After demolition work Monday revealed the giant sinkhole that swallowed a Tampa-area man as he slept Thursday night, crews began filling in the chasm presumed to be his grave.

During a brief ceremony at 4 p.m., the family of 37-year-old Jeffrey Bush placed a teddy bear, a photo, notes and flowers into the bucket of a backhoe, which dropped them into the estimated 60-foot-deep hole in Seffner, about 15 miles east of Tampa. Then came a truckload of gravel, the first in the process of filling in the yawning hole that took Bush without warning.

Parachuting poison mice combat Guam tree snakes

www.islandsbusiness.com  |  Thu 28 Feb 2013

HAGATNA, Guam— The US Department of Agriculture will drop mice laced with a sedative deadly to brown tree snakes around the island’s Andersen Air Force Base over the next couple of months.

Daniel Vice from the US Department of Agriculture’s Wildlife Services has told Radio Australia’s Pacific Beat the snake is a serious threat to wildlife.

“Virtually all of the tropical west Pacific is potentially at risk from brown tree snakes,” he said.

“We’ve had them turn up on virtually every island in Micronesia associated with some sort of transportation from Guam.”

ex Priest deals meth, tries to buy sex shop, gets busted

28 Feb

There are plenty of misleading headlines about this story. As far as I can the order of events is as follows. Priest appears to be a sexually active cross dressing homosexual who uses sex toys and cavorts in the rectory with adults. Priest is asked to step down. Ex-priest begins doing and perhaps selling meth. Ex-priest begins dealing meth and tries to buy sex and smoke shop called LAND OF OZ AND DOROTHY’s  PLACE perhaps to launder funds. Ex-priest gets busted.

Let me look into a crystal ball. Ex-priest goes to jail, writes a book, is subject of movie starring Kevin Spacey and falls off and on the wagon.

Priest Charged In Meth Sting Tried To Open Sex Shop, Feds Say

A Catholic priest indicted earlier this week for his role in a bicoastal, crystal methamphetamine distribution ring may have been trying to launder thousands of dollars in weekly drug profits through an X-rated video and sexual novelty store, according to authorities.

The indictment on narcotics charges Tuesday of Monsignor Kevin Wallin, 61, has stunned the Diocese of Bridgeport, where he formerly served in positions that included personal secretary to successive bishops, including Edward Egan, later appointed a cardinal.

TSA’s response why it stopped a 3 year old in a wheelchair

Unlike other stories of airport security I’ve posted, this one features a response from the TSA about their actions. Warning the video is really sad and heartbreaking and features a crying toddler in a wheelchair.

Here’s The TSA’s Defense For Stopping A 3-Year-Old Girl In A Wheelchair On The Way To Disney World

Alex Davies  | Feb. 22, 2013  |  www.businessinsider.com

After TSA agents stopped a wheelchair-bound three-year-old girl at Lambert-St. Louis International Airport earlier this month, the TSA felt prompted by media attention to clarify its side of the story.The parents of Lucy Forck, who has Spina bifida and uses a wheelchair, were furious after TSA agents stopped them on their way to Disney World on February 9.

When Annie Forck began recording the encounter, she was told doing so is illegal.

Nathan Forck rightly argued it is legal, and Annie continued recording. In the video, posted to YouTube, Lucy is crying because TSA agents took her stuffed animal away, to be screened.

Ultimately, Lucy was not subjected to a pat-down, and the TSA apologized for the incident.

In a post on its blog Thursday, the TSA offered a few explanations:

  • Our officer did initially mention a pat-down. We admit this was confusing, and contributed to a stressful situation. Very quickly, a manager was able to step in and give guidance.
  • Also, our officer told the passenger that it was illegal to film at the checkpoint. This is not the case, and you can take a look at our filming policy here.
  • The child did not receive a pat-down. You can read our new procedures for children 12 and under here.
  • Neither the child nor the parent was detained. TSA does not have the authority to detain passengers. Only Law Enforcement Officers can detain passengers.
  • The child’s stuffed animal was not confiscated. It was screened and handed back to the child after being screened.All accessible property is screened prior to traveling to you departure gate. You may remember this stuffed animal from last year.

“This stuffed animal” refers to a case from May 11, 2012, when a disassembled gun and ammo were found in three stuffed animals at Providence TF Green Airport.

Parody menu from Guy’s American Kitchen and Bar

22 Feb

People either love or hate TV Food personality Guy Fieri. When the diner and dive food king recently opened a restaurant in New York City the venerable food critics of the New York Times pretty much wiped their dog’s bum with paper and published the results as a restaurant review. 

Was the food at Guy’s American Kitchen and Bar really THAT bad? Was Guy’s American Kitchen and Bar menu tailored to the cheddar cheese tastes of the average American (blue collar) and not to the goat cheese tastes of the New York Times (white collar)? Perhaps.

When Guy’s American Kitchen and Bar opened they for some reason didn’t purchase the domain name http://guysamericankitchenandbar.com.  Since the domain was available a prankster purchased it and posted the parody menu below.

This is truly one of the funniest things I have ever read.

Think back to your first grade days when your innovative thoughts inspired the creation of gold-sprayed macaroni collages, paper mâché pieces and indoor cardboard box castles. If you haven’t noticed, the creative process has changed a bit–especially with school-age children having access to technology, namely mobile devices.

Sheriff: Spontaneous Human Combustion May Have Killed Man

by and , www.5newsonline.com  |  February 19, 2013

Sheriff Ron Lockhart said his office is investigating whether a Sequoyah County, Okla., man died after spontaneously bursting into flames.

The sheriff said 65-year-old Danny Vanzandt’s death might be a rare case of spontaneous human combustion.

“This is a case that I’ve never seen before,” Lockhart said.

Emergency crews responded to Bawkin Road in Sequoyah County about 10:50 a.m. Monday (Feb. 18) after a neighbor told police she saw smoke coming from next door, Lockhart said. Vanzandt’s brother, Aaron, tells 5NEWS he and his stepson found the body around 11 a.m. and called 911.

“The body was burned and it was incinerated,” Lockhart said.

Defense contractor slaps baby on plane

18 Feb

Baby slapper and mean drunk Joe Rickey may be one of those people to rich too prosecute. As the president, oops, former president, of defense contractor UNITECH Composites and Structures he was probably very well compensated. He may even have lots of rich white well connected friends able to put in a good word with the right people on his behalf so that he can avoid jail time.

This is a nice time to remember that 60% of our federal budget goes for defense spending and supporting fine, old, white, racist, mean-drunk, intolerant, useless tools like Joe Rickey as well as a few other people that their wealth trickles down to.

Mr Mullet sounds like a scary guy. Hopefully jail time will result in his terrorizing fewer people.

Amish Sect Leader Sentenced to 15 Years in Hair-Cutting Attacks

By TRIP GABRIEL  |  February 8, 2013  |  NYT

The leader of a dissident Amish sect was sentenced on Friday to 15 years in prison for a series of bizarre beard- and hair-cutting attacks on other Ohio Amish that drew national attention.

Samuel Mullet Sr., 67, the leader, was sentenced in Federal District Court in Cleveland for coordinating assaults that prosecutors argued were motivated by religious intolerance. Fifteen of his followers, including six women, were given lesser sentences, ranging from one year and one day to seven years.
