I found myself feeling a might peckish. I thought to myself, "a little fermented curd will do the trick," so, I curtailed my Walpoling activities, sallied forth, and infiltrated your place of purveyance to negotiate the vending of some cheesy comestibles.

Georgia man who blew up ex's house and planned to use python to devour her daughter learns his fate

A Georgia man who blew up his ex's house and planned to set a python on her daughter has been sentenced to 20 years in federal prison.

Stephen Glosser, 38, pled guilty in court on Thursday to using a homemade bomb to destroy the women's house in Richmond Hill, Bryant County, in January 2023.

He allegedly planned with his 34-year-old roommate Caleb Kinsey, who awaits sentencing, to kill her after she rejected him when their dating-app romance ended.

The pair were said to have plotted to shoot arrows into her front door, scalp her head, mail her dog feces or dead rats, blow up the home and release the snake to eat her daughter.

He was given his sentence after pleading guilty to stalking and use of an explosive to commit another felony offense, according to the Southern District of Georgia Attorney's Office.

Presiding Judge R Stan Baker also ordered Glosser to pay $507,781 in restitution to the two victims, and to serve three years of supervised release upon completion of his sentence.

'The level of malevolent violence in this case is astounding, and it’s truly fortunate that there were no deaths as a result of this horrific crime,' said US Attorney Tara Lyons.

'This successful prosecution is a credit to the outstanding investigative work of the ATF and our state and local law enforcement partners.'

Dating app romance is Russian roulette. The last thing I need is to invite some deranged lunatic into my life and they know where I live.

Why should someone like that ever be released???

Well they just conditionally released an axe murderer cannibal….so my expectation that this POS will do even 20 years is very low.

A New Hampshire woman was arrested on Friday after police found footage of her urinating on food products at the grocery store where she was employed in a trove of online videos documenting similar disgusting acts dating back four years.

Kelli Tedford, 23, allegedly tainted a slew of products at Monadnock Food Co-op in New Hampshire with her urine — costing the grocery store roughly $1,500 for the ruined products and cleaning expenses, the Keene Police Department said in a press release.

A woman with red hair, named Kelli Tedford, who is a grocery store employee arrested for urinating on products, related news link included

The grocery store also had to issue a recall for its organic quinoa, cornmeal, polenta, coconut shreds and raw walnuts after Tedford had apparently relieved herself on the products.

It wasn’t Tedford’s first time peeing in places she shouldn’t. If anything, it was a hobby for the young grocery store employee.

Police recovered multiple videos Tedford herself posted online showing her peeing on produce, surfaces and other objects. The oldest videos date back to 2021.

Kris Owen, a 79-year-old Vietnam veteran, had planned to spend his golden years in Indiana with his wife, Karen. They wanted to spend more time with his son and travel the world together.

But she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2019, and the COVID-19 pandemic hit soon after.

“All of our plans for travel and everything kind of went out the window,” Owen told ABC News.

Two years later, Owen's wife passed away.

"Probably one of the reasons I was so susceptible to what happened to me," Owen said.

Wilson said the 91-pound boy threw himself on the front lawn outside her home, at which point she sat on him while calling his caseworker as he screamed and eventually stopped moving, according to court documents viewed by Express US. ...

Pastor Marvin Sapp accused of holding congregation 'HOSTAGE' and refusing to let them leave until collection plate hit $40k

Daily Mail

27 March 2025



A megachurch leader and gossip singer is under fire for using some very aggressive tactics to get his congregation to cough up $40,000 in donations.

Marvin Sapp, 58, has come under fire after a video resurfaced of him directing ushers to 'close the doors' at an unknown church and demanding attendees donate $40,000.

'Ushers, close the doors. Close the doors. Close the doors,' he said, each time more forcefully, reportedly holding 1,000 churchgoers inside.

'We all gone [sic] leave together. Y'all ain't going no place but the restaurant,' he said, emitting a laugh from the crowd. 'This is a small seed... This is easy, saints.'

The pastor wanted the congregation - which included an additional 1,000 virtual visitors - to each give $20, which would amount to $40,000 between 2,000 donors.

Sapp went onto say that $20 used to buy movie tickets, a popcorn, and a shared drink on a date with his late wife.

'I wasn't cheap, that's swag,' he joked to the crowd's laughter. 'I was looking into her eyes, she was looking into mine.'

The father-of-three went on to ask for the people standing behind him to donate $100 each because it 'costs to stand up here.'

Georgia man who blew up ex's house and planned to use python to devour her daughter learns his fate

Horrifying moment python's bulging belly wriggles as grandmother is found swallowed whole inside the snake

Daily Mail

2 April 2025



This is the horrifying moment a python's bulging stomach appeared to wriggle - before a family found their grandmother swallowed whole inside.

The anxious family of a missing woman tracked the snake down to a patch of dense vegetation in South Sulawesi, Indonesia yesterday afternoon.

Locals feared for the worst when they saw the 26ft serpent weighed down by a large bulge in its stomach.

Slashing into the snake, they found the body of 66-year-old Hasia, who had vanished while walking home from her job at a rubber plantation.

The snake is believed to have pounced from the tall grass and clamped down on her leg, causing her to fall.

Hasia battled to escape from its grip, but was squeezed to death while being swallowed whole, it was reported locally.

Her son, Nurdin, said the worried family launched a search when night fell and the elderly villager still hadn't returned.

Two employees were injured in a fire at a medical marijuana facility in Maine on Friday afternoon, according to the State Fire Marshal's Office.

Firefighters responded to a reported structure fire on County Road in Gorham around 2:30 p.m. Friday. Officials said the fire occurred at a 20,000-square-foot facility used to cultivate medical marijuana.

People flocked from miles away to deeply breathe the smoke from the fire, I suspect.
