Ridiculous News of the Day

If one goes on to read the rest of the story, yes, the bear broke windows to enter the vehicle. Must have smelled the cupcakes.

"Allen says that she hopes that this doesn’t happen. She just wants the bear to leave her family alone."

Maybe she can ask it nicely,and swat it on the nose with a newspaper while saying "Bad Bear,Bad!" to teach it a lesson?

[Sanguine]

The bear ate two dozen vegan cupcakes? Was he later found saying, "Yecchh, what the heck was that?!?"

I wondered about the concept of "leftover cupcakes".  Now I understand.

Bounce house flies onto California highway with child inside
Nicole Darrah

A bounce house — with a 9-year-old child inside — suddenly got swept onto a nearby highway in Southern California and slammed into a vehicle amid strong winds Saturday afternoon.

Fortunately, the child survived with minor injuries.

Deputies responded to the incident on Highway 395 in Adelanto just after 3 p.m., the Victor Valley branch of the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department said in a news release.

Those things are really popular at little carnivals and festivals out this way, but in North Dakota, they're tied down better than most overseas deck cargo even before they're inflated. .

A flock of geese were cocks of the walk chasing off an alligator on a Florida golf course.

Video of the encounter was captured by Ryan Witkowski of Jupiter while attending a charity golf event at PGA National golf course in Palm Beach Gardens earlier this month.

Witkowski posted the video to his Facebook page and you can see eight determined geese running off the smallish gator while onlooking golfers gawk from the safety of their golf carts.  ...  link to story, with video

Man to North Ridgeville police: Help me … I’m being followed by a pig

Posted 2:05 pm, May 19, 2018, by Lindsay Buckingham

NORTH RIDGEVILLE, Ohio — Imagine a police officer receiving this call: “Help me. I’m being followed by a pig.”

We’re not sure of the exact wording, but that’s pretty much what happened in North Ridgeville early Saturday morning.

Police say a man called the station just before 5:30 a.m., saying he was being stalked by a pig on Center Ridge Road.

They thought he was drunk, but when officers responded...

Lawyer in hazmat suit held man hostage, pulled out bolt cutters to slice his genitals, Ala. cops say
BY JARED GILMOUR

Updated April 26, 2018 04:14 PM

An Alabama lawyer is headed to prison after orchestrating a kidnapping that nearly cost his hostage a finger — and his genitals.

The lawyer's motive? It was all over $60 the victim was supposed to pay the lawyer in exchange for some tires, prosecutors said.

On Thursday, a judge sentenced James William Woolley, 52, to 20 years in prison on the robbery, kidnapping and attempted murder charges that a jury convicted Woolley of last month, the Birmingham News reports.

Woolley’s kidnapping plot was set into motion on Jan. 25, 2016, with some help from an accomplice. Kimberly Murphy, 33, lured the victim to her Birmingham home by promising she would return a piercing kit the victim had left there, according to prosecutors.

Woman's obituary takes a dark turn: 'World is a better place without her'

An 80-year-old woman’s seemingly straightforward obituary took a dark turn that no one could have predicted.

The obituary for Kathleen Dehmlow (Schunk) first appeared in the Redwood Gazette this week. It stated she was born on March 19, 1938, and resided in Springfield, Minn. She married Dennis Dehmlow in 1957 and had two children with him -- Gina and Jay.

…

“In 1962 she became pregnant by her husband’s brother Lyle Dehmlow and moved to California. She abandoned her children, Gina and Jay who were raised by her parents in Clements, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Schunk,” the obituary reads.

…

“She passed away on May 31, 2018, in Springfield and will now face judgment. She will not be missed by Gina and Jay, and they understand that this world is a better place without her,” the obituary concluded.

Man Shot by Gun Hidden in Oven

Police say they've solved a shooting in Ohio that left a man wounded.

The oven did it.

The Vindicator in Youngstown reports 44-year-old Robin Garlock received wounds to both shoulders while trying to retrieve a handgun he'd hidden inside the broiler unit of his oven.

Warren police say Garlock put the gun in the broiler because children were coming over.

His girlfriend, unaware of the gun's presence, turned on the oven Sunday to bake. Police say she called out to Garlock when she thought she heard a gunshot fired outside. Police say Garlock was struck by bullets or bullet fragments when they exploded inside the gun.

...

No charges have been filed against the oven.

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.

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....

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?
