Florida Man Angry Over Neighbors' Parking Habits Uses Flamethrower at Occupied Car: Police

KATIE WERMUS  |  12/10/21  |  11:52 AM EST


AFlorida man used a flamethrower on a car with three teenagers inside after he was angry about a running feud with his neighbor's parking habits.

Andre Abrams, 57, admitted to using a flamethrower, which shoots flames up to 20 feet, towards his neighbor's parked car over what he says is a long-running feud over their parking. However, he denied targeting the teens, police said.

"This family, how could I say this—the worst thing that could ever happen to a neighborhood," Abrams said. "They've had issues with other residents, and it needs to be brought to light."

Armani Singleton, one of the three teenagers in the car, was sitting in the driver's seat when she and the others saw Abrams come towards them and start spraying fire before they escaped.

"You better not burn up my car," she said, according to police.

Ashley Gainey, the mother of one of the teens, confronted Abrams as he was shooting flames towards the vehicle.

"When I got to the door, he was still shooting it," she said. "I asked him, 'What is your effin' problem?'"

This isn't the first time Abrams has used a flamethrower in the neighborhood. Gainey said Abrams often sprayed flames to scare away visitors at her home.

"When he shoots it, it lights the whole road up," Gainey said. "It's like it's daylight outside. He'll do it in the middle of the night."

I would have paid money to see this.

Secularist group targets decades-long tradition of laying wreaths on soldiers' tombs
Wreaths Across America is accused of taking part in an 'unconstitutional' act
By Kyle Morris | Fox News

A secularist non-profit organization that strongly urges separation of church and state in America is taking issue with Wreaths Across America's nearly 30-year tradition of placing wreaths on thousands of military graves.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) is calling out Wreaths Across America, telling the Colorado Springs Gazette that the organization's actions in placing wreaths on military gravesites around the country are "unconstitutional, an atrocity and a disgrace."  ...

"The gravesites of Christians and non-Christians alike will be adorned with this hijacked-from-paganism symbol of Christianity — circular and made of evergreen to symbolize everlasting life through Jesus Christ — whether the families of the deceased veterans like it or not," Rodda wrote.  ...

Weinstein, who is Jewish, concluded in his conversation with the Gazette that the process of laying wreaths should "be an aspect of respect," adding that it is "almost like a fundamentalist Christian gang sign to put a symbol of the Christian season of Christmas on any grave." ...

This is the first I've heard there was Christian symbolism attached to a wreath.
 Would they have every circle-shaped object banned, too, or is it the pine that offends them?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

A naturist once dubbed The Naked Carpenter has lost his appeal against conviction for walking through a town centre at night wearing see-through trousers.

Robert Jenner, 47, was stopped by police dressed in the black mesh trousers which revealed his buttocks and genitals.

Maidstone Crown Court heard he had worn the transparent garment without underwear to go drinking in a nearby Wetherspoon's in Maidstone, Kent, and was arrested in St Faith's Street at 11.20pm on January 19, 2020. ...

He denied having any intention to expose himself, claiming his fleece went lower than his waistline.

Accused by prosecutor Honor Fitzgerald of wanting to reveal his manhood to cause 'alarm or distress', Jenner said: 'No, never. That has never been my intention.'

The court heard statements from four Kent Police officers, who described his clothing as see-through and 'completely inappropriate'. ...

Box of human heads stolen in Denver

By Jesse O’Neill
March 5, 2022

A box of human heads intended for scientific research was stolen from a medical truck in Denver Thursday.

Someone broke into the parked truck in broad daylight and stole the box of human remains, along with a dolly, according to KVDR.

The macabre crime happened in Denver’s leafy Central Park neighborhood, the TV station reported.

The situation was “pretty shocking,” resident Isaac Fields told the station.

I'd like to know how my box of heads ended up in Colorado. Darn post office.

As for Netflix's black female Viking king, I have to say - as a descendant of a Viking king - I'm so triggered now I'm shaking! Quick, I need a coloring book and a safe space!
