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 the Germans think fifteen years is a stiff sentence for murder so yeah the Belgians would seem to take their chocolate more seriously then heinous crimes.

The substantial funds raised from the successful world record-breaking skinny dip over the weekend will be used to purchase a furnished, family-friendly house in Dublin for cash-strapped parents of cancer-stricken children visiting the capital for extended hospital stays.

Weren't they concerned about exposing that much white to the sun at one time? That many Irish getting naked outdoors at the same time could suck up all the suns rays,and maybe kill it!

Don't you think the greater risk was of potentially blinding the observers? The reflected light must have been harsh, let alone just the sight of some of the participants.

Woman accused of killing lover, serving remains at barbecue, police say

(Meredith) – Police say a woman in Michigan may have barbecued the remains of her ex-lover and served them to her neighbors in 2014.

According to USA Today, Kelly Cochran was arrested and brought to trial, where she told her plan to the court. She said she and her husband, Jason, lured Chris Regan, her former lover, to their home where they shot and dismembered him. She said that she and her husband made a pact that they would get rid of anyone “involved in their extramarital affairs.”

They then dumped Regan's remains in the woods, but some believe the couple may have served part of Regan to their neighbors. WJBK-TV reported that during the barbecue, one of her friends said the burgers were “strange-tasting.”

Two years later, authorities said she injected Jason with a fatal dose of heroin and choked him to death because he “took the only good thing” in her life, referring to Regan.  ...   Full story

That's gross. 

Reminds me of an old Alfred Hitchcock Presents episode where a woman kills her husband by assaulting him with a frozen leg of lamb.  WhIle the detectives are looking for the murder weapon, the wife has it roasting in the oven.  When the roast was done, the wife fed some of it to the detectives.  They were eating the murder weapon.

I try to always look on the bright side of things instead of obsessing on the negative,and the good thing about this is there are now a MINIMUM of 3 fewer Dim voters next election,and maybe as many as 10!

Bank robbery suspect gives ID, easily tracked by police
Associated Press • June 22, 2018
https://www.yahoo.com/news/bank-robbery-suspect-gives-id-easily-tracked-police-105614880.html

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — [...]

Authorities say the man walked into a Huntington Bank in Columbus on June 4 and gave the teller a note saying he was armed and demanding money.

The teller gave the man a stack of cash, but then he demanded more money from the electronic cash recycle machine in the bank's lobby.

Police say the teller told the man the machine needed a driver's license to dispense cash, so the man handed his own license over.

Well,the truth is he needs to be in jail for his own safety,where he will have someone tell him when to go to bed,when to get up,when to eat,etc,etc,etc. He doesn't seem to do well on his own.

Army veteran decapitated his mom using a butter knife and his teeth, deputy says in court

WIGGINS -- Terrelle Johnson confessed to killing his mother the morning after her decapitated body was found June 6 in their backyard in Stone County, a sheriff's deputy testified at a preliminary hearing Wednesday afternoon.

[...]

When that was done, they interviewed Johnson. He confessed on audiotape to killing his mother, Boggs said. Johnson said that he and his mother got into an argument over credit cards. He said he tried to walk away, but the argument escalated into a fight.

"He told me that he beat her up real bad," Boggs testified. " . . . He said it got out of hand."

Johnson said he then choked his mother until she stopped breathing. He decapitated her with a butter knife, he said, also using his hands and teeth to remove her head. He said he took her body to the backyard so the house would not smell bad.

You wait until the butter is room temperature,and then you just spread it around. No actual cutting required. You could use a spoon just as well.

Woman forced ex to have sex holding machete to his face: cops



A Montana woman broke into a man’s house with a machete, ordered him to take off his clothes and forced him to have sex with her, police said.

Samantha Ray Mears, 19, was charged Friday with two felonies — aggravated burglary and assault with a weapon — as well as several misdemeanors for the incident at her ex-boyfriend’s Great Falls home, according to the Great Falls Tribune.

Mears reportedly broke into her ex of seven years’ house Friday while he was away. When he returned, she confronted him with the large knife, demanded that he take off all his clothes and ordered him to lie on his bed.

I'm marveling at her ex's powers of concentration. I doubt I could cope with the machete distraction.

"When an argument ensued soon after, an enraged Mears ripped a piece of trim from the victim’s wall and deliberately urinated in his bed, according to KFBB."

And I definitely could not cope with this.

Good catch.

DOVER, Delaware — It’s not the kind of thing you just leave behind.

But someone in Delaware left a house in the middle of the road.

The Dover Police Department posted pictures on Facebook that showed a mobile home sitting in the middle of a road.

Man armed with sword, Bible caught at 'haunted house' in Wilkes-Barre
James Halpin, The Citizens Voice | Thursday, June 28, 2018, 9:00 a.m.

 WILKES-BARRE — He's ghost busted.

A city resident who tried entering the infamous Welles House — a purportedly haunted property at 46 S. Welles St. — was arrested early Wednesday morning after being found armed with a shotgun, sword, brass knuckles, a pocket knife and a copy of the Bible, according to police.

Anthony Parker, 33, of 586 Carey Ave., told police he was at the home to “look for ghosts,” according to the charges. ...

When officers circled around the home, they found Parker holding a pry bar in his left hand, with a 24-inch sword tied to his back, the charges say. Parker was also wearing red gloves, despite the warm weather, police said.

Parker complied with orders to drop the pry bar and to untie the sword, and lay on the ground while police frisked him, police said. The search turned up a silver brass-knuckle bladed weapon that was in Parker's pocket as well as a folding pocket knife and a Bible, the charges allege.

Parker also had a Crown Royal bag containing 10 shotgun shells that was tied to his belt, the complaint says. Parker claimed he had left the shotgun home, but police subsequently found a loaded pistol-grip shotgun in the rear of the home, police said.   ... Rest of story

Man armed with sword, Bible caught at 'haunted house' in Wilkes-Barre
James Halpin, The Citizens Voice | Thursday, June 28, 2018, 9:00 a.m.

 WILKES-BARRE — He's ghost busted.

A city resident who tried entering the infamous Welles House — a purportedly haunted property at 46 S. Welles St. — was arrested early Wednesday morning after being found armed with a shotgun, sword, brass knuckles, a pocket knife and a copy of the Bible, according to police.

I don't know what the problem is.  You have to be prepared when anticipating encountering ghosts, right?

Weird story. So he was planning to shoot the ghost with a shotgun, or cut them up with a sword, or beat the hell out of them with brass knuckles. That's an odd plan. Apparently this guy has no idea what a ghost is? (if they even exist at all)

The Bible was on target. Along with that he should have sage, holy water, a blessed silver crucifix, lots of lights (ghosts hate light for some reason) and a video recorder. To say this guy is a couple of slices short of a whole pizza would not do it justice. He sounds retarded and heavily prone to violence. Probably a very good coincidence for everybody that he did this and got himself arrested, before he showed up at a mall somewhere looking for people who are demons.

Shark drags woman into crocodile-infested waters in Australia

A “once-in-a-lifetime” trip in May for a woman in Australia quickly turned into a harrowing experience when she suffered a bite while feeding a shark, which then dragged her into the water.

Melissa Brunning, 34, was on a yacht in the remote Kimberley region in the northwest part of the country, located about 1,550 miles north of Perth, when she tried to hand-feed up to four tawny nurse sharks swimming around her boat.

Brunning told the West Australian that she didn't realize she shouldn’t hand feed a shark, until the animal became "like a Hoover," sucking her right index finger into its mouth full of rows of razor-sharp teeth...

MCSO: 92-year-old refuses assisted living, shoots and kills son in Fountain Hills
Seth Pines
3:28 PM, Jul 3, 2018
2 hours ago

FOUNTAIN HILLS, AZ - A 92-year-old woman is facing multiple charges after she allegedly shot and killed her son in Fountain Hills Monday because she refused to be admitted into an assisted living facility.

According to the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office, around 10 a.m., deputies responded to a call of an unknown trouble at a home near Palisades and Saguaro boulevards.

Officials say deputies found that Anna Mae Blessing, 92, had shot and killed her 72-year-old son.

"According to statements provided by suspect Blessing and received by the detectives, she had been contemplating for several days her son’s intentions to place her in an assisted living facility," MCSO said in a news release.

Blessing had reportedly concealed two pistols in the pockets of her robe and then confronted her son in his bedroom. ...

By doing what she did, she only proved that he was right to be concerned about her. She proved him right.
The assisted living facility she is headed for now will be a lot less comfortable than the one she killed to stay out of.

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.

Bhopal man shoots self at girlfriend’s house to ‘prove his love’, now brain dead
The Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha leader’s friends said he had been in a relationship with the woman, a bank employee, for the last 13 years.
INDIA Updated: Jul 04, 2018 23:46 IST   Hindustan Times, Bhopal

A leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s youth wing shot himself at his girlfriend’s house in Bhopal on Tuesday night, allegedly after he was asked by the woman’s father to “prove his love by killing himself”. He was declared brain dead by doctors and is now on ventilator.

Police said Atul Lokhande, vice-president of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) for Arera Mandal went to the woman’s house around 9.30 pm and shot himself in the head with a country made revolver.

According to a Facebook post put up earlier by Lokhande, the woman’s father had told him to prove his love for her by killing himself.

He allegedly promised to let the marriage happen if the youth survived, and if he did not, they could always unite in their next birth.

Tourists on honeymoon collide while zip-lining, leaving husband dead and wife injured
Samantha Schmidt
1 hr ago

An Israeli newlywed couple on their honeymoon collided while zip-lining in Honduras, leaving the husband dead and the wife seriously injured, Honduran authorities said.

The wife was zip-lining amid the treetops in Roatán, the largest of Honduras’s Bay Islands, when she became stuck shortly before 1:30 p.m. Thursday, Wilmer Guerrero, commander of the Roatán fire department, told The Washington Post.

As she remained halfway down the cable, her husband came gliding down the zip line from behind, slamming into her, Guerrero said. While the Israeli Foreign Ministry declined to name the couple, the Honduran news outlets identified the husband as 24-year-old Egael Tishman and the wife as 27-year-old Shif Fanken. ...

Armless Miami man charged with stabbing Chicago tourist

An armless homeless man in Miami, Florida has been charged with stabbing a Chicago tourist with scissors.

Jonathan Crenshaw, 46, used his feet to hold scissors and stabbed Cesar Coronado, 22, Miami Beach police said Wednesday.

Crenshaw told police he was lying down just after midnight Tuesday when Coronado kicked him in the head. The man then allegedly stabbed Coronado twice before fleeing the scene, according to the arrest report.

Daughter kills father after finding his child porn collection
By Jeff Tavss - Executive Producer
Posted: 3:56 PM, July 13, 2018
Updated: 3:56 PM, July 13, 2018

STOCKPORT, ENGLAND - A woman turned herself in to authorities and admitted to killing her father after she found his child porn collection 12 years earlier.

Barbara Coombes, 63, was gardening outside her father's Stockport, England house in 2006 when she found the pornographic images on the table, some of which included her, according to USA Today.

Coombes hit her father, Kenneth, with a shovel and then slit his throat. She later buried his body in the garden.

Coombes, who was sentenced to nine years in prison on Wednesday, testified that her father was a "violent bully" who physically and verbally attacked her while keeping her daughter as a sex slave.

During the trial, Coombes said her father raped her hundreds of times ...

@InHeavenThereIsNoBeer

Noticed that,did ya?

MY favorite part was her outrage at "discovering he was a child molester" after claiming he raped her hundreds of times when she was a child.

After being raped by him 100's of times her first clue he was a child molester was when she saw photos?

If ANYTHING,it seems to me she killed him in a fit of jealousy.

Another account was a little more clearly written. As I understand it, she saw that he had been looking at old photos of child porn (it wasn't clear whether the table was inside the house or in the yard) and realized she was pictured in some of them. She snapped over the realization that her father was still getting off on seeing her as a naked child and, thus, whacked him with her gardening spade.  It wasn't that she only just then realized he was a molester.

@mountaineer

Don't get me wrong. If he really did rape her and there are photos of it,I would stand up and cheer her is she set him on fire and filmed him running around in circles trying to beat the flame out.

I have a zero tolerance for child rapists mindset. I don't want to hear about their troubled upbringing,or how they were bullied at school. All I want to hear about them is that they are now dead and will never do it again.

Children should be left alone to enjoy the brief period of childhood innocence they are blessed with. It only lasts a brief while,and once they lose it they are adults with adult responsibilities for the rest of their lives.
