Virginia police chase stolen armored personnel carrier for more than 60 miles, soldier arrested

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/06/06/virginia-police-chase-stolen-armored-personnel-carrier-for-more-than-60-miles-soldier-arrested.html

A solider stole an armored personnel carrier from a Virginia National Guard base and led authorities on more than a 60-mile chase before being arrested in the state's capital city on Tuesday, officials said.

Virginia State Police said in a news release the incident began around 7:50 p.m., when the armored personnel carrier was driven away from Fort Pickett in Nottoway County. The military vehicle, which moves on tracks similar to a tank, was not equipped with any weaponry and is the property of the Virginia National Guard.

Survivors penning 'revenge obituaries' to settle scores with the departed
By Andrew O'Reilly | Fox News

The posthumous pillorying of the dead – or the "revenge obituary" – is part of a growing trend that has family members digging up dirt on the deceased and getting the final word.

The latest is a local newspaper obituary for Kathleen Dehmlow, who passed away last week at a nursing home in Springfield, Minn., and could barely have hit any harder.  ...

After reading Kathleen Dehmlow's obit, one of her relatives, Dwight Dehmlow, told the Star Tribune Kathleen was sorry for the way she treated her children.

“She made a mistake 60 years ago, but who hasn’t?” he said. “Has she regretted it over the years? Yes.”

Dwight Dehmlow added he believed that Kathleen's son was behind the obituary. “He’s very upset,” he said. “He decided to go out with hate. I can’t believe he did this. ... This is going to hurt a lot of people.”  ...
The article recounts other vengeful obits, as well.

F*cking your husbands brother and deserting you family after the birth of the bastard child made from that unholy union might leave a bad taste on the offspring left without their mother.  But what would I know?

I definitely understand their anger and pain. As noted in the article I posted, sometimes writing an angry obit serves as catharsis for the aggrieved family members.

To head off any such nonsense after my passing I already paid for my Obit and left a copy for print at the Newspaper and county organ of record.  I also left instructions with my wife that it be posted here on TBR.   

It starts with a friendly opening:  "Kiss my Ass"

Boy Scout's novelty grenade prompts scare at Hobby Airport

June 07, 2018

A security checkpoint at Hobby Airport is back open after authorities were sent in to investigate a suspicious device early Thursday morning.

Houston police confirmed the device was a novelty grenade found in a 17-year-old Boy Scout's bag...

The radio broadcast turned into a discussion of what not to bring or discuss while at the security check-in for the airport.

Cattle battle: Bulls caught fighting in California neighborhood



An impromptu “bullfight” broke out in a California neighborhood, police said Tuesday, after the animals reportedly took off from a rancher.

The Fremont Police Department shared video of two large, black bulls duking it out in the middle of the street. The pair charged at each other before one skittered away and the other lost its footing.

Man Interviewed After Finding A Dead Body; Arrested Later For Murdering His Mom

He pretty much snitched on himself with this interview

Written by Wayne Dupree · 1 hour ago

A Pennslyvania man killed his 60-year-old mother and then took a TV interview about claiming he just found the body.

Matthew Haverly killed his mother Patricia and tried to trick the news crew and police as if he just found the body at the creek. During the interview, he tried to give scenarios of what he thought happened, and he couldn’t stop talking.

It was found it a few hours later that the dead body was his mom and the police quickly arrested him and charged him with murder.

Man And His Monkey Are Caged By Cops
Capuchin named Monk was clinging to auto theft arrestee

JUNE 8--A man arrested this morning for auto theft had a small diaper-clad monkey clinging to his chest when Florida cops apprehended him after he drove the hot wheels into a ditch.

Investigators allege that Cody Blake Hession, 23, took a vehicle from the driveway of a St. Petersburg residence early this morning (keys to the unlocked auto were on the floorboard). Hession then drove the car about 35 miles to Holiday, a Tampa-St. Pete suburb, where he “drove off the edge of a parking lot, into a ditch,” according to a complaint affidavit.

When Pasco County Sheriff’s Office deputies detained Hession, who had fled the vehicle, there was a leashed Capuchin monkey attached to Hession’s pink polo shirt....

FIGHT NIGHT Tyson Fury crowd explodes into huge 15-man brawl which distracts the boxers midway through fight

Blokes could be seen leaping out of their chairs to throw punches during the brutal rumble during Fury's victory over  Sefer Seferi

The brutal rumble exploded during Fury's victory over Sefer Seferi as blokes leaped from their chairs to throw punches.

Fury, 29, even took some time out of his boxing clash to watch the punch-up at Manchester Arena.

Instead of taking advantage of Fury losing his concentration, Seferi stood motionless, and looked out over the ropes too...

Good guess.

But also even more disgusting if he picked it up with his own hand to throw it.   :terror:

Asylum Seeker Raped Disabled Belgian Woman for Three Days Hoping for Anchor Baby

A 30-year-old asylum seeker in Belgium has been sentenced to four years imprisonment after he raped a mentally disabled woman hoping to get her pregnant so he could use the child as an excuse to remain in the country.

The migrant, named Karim, met with the 19-year-old girl in November 2014 in the city of Liege and held her for three days at a squat where he was living, raping her repeatedly, Belgian newspaper La Dernière Heure reports.

The mother of the girl, who despite being 19 is said to have a mental capacity equal to a seven or eight-year-old child, told the court that 30-year-old Karim wanted to get the girl pregnant as he had previously been deported from the country and banned from living there for six years.

So he gets to spend the next 4 years living off the backs of the Belgian taxpayers,which is basically a paid vacation for scum like him?

And the Belgians SERIOUSLY believe that 4 years is a stiff sentence for kidnapping,raping,and beating a mentally defective woman?

Hell,let HIM out of prison and put the Belgian politicians in there in his place. They are more dangerous criminals than he is.

Well, it does say he's from New Tripoli!   Close enough?

I suppose he'd have to throw with his left hand.
