Cruel hoax, but also some pretty gullible people. Overly intimidated by police or other "authority."

Pretty gullible?

Ok, criminally gullible.

Is "criminally gullible" really a thing, legally?

I've heard of "criminal negligence", which is pretty close, but couldn't find anything that specifically states "criminal gullibility" has the same legal implications.

This may be the grossest, most horrifying and most depressing article you'll read all year. It's a reprint from 2005. Idk why it's being published now. Everyone involved - prison guard alleged perp, managers, other dupes, corporate, some prosecutors, and even the ultimate victims - don't give reason to have much hope for humanity.

This guy: Misses his targets AND locks himself out AND leaves a very clear image of who he is and what he did AND I saw elsewhere that there's a $3500 reward for turning him in.

Man lights firework on his head and it explodes into his skull, Texas cops say

... First responders found the victim was suffering from severe head trauma, with brain matter exposed from his skull, police said....

Investigators believe it somehow exploded from the bottom of the tube and pierced the top of his skull....

Or it was upside down. Guaranteed Darwin winner.

I think that's called a brainstorm.

I'll have to try it myself to see if it was just a freak occurrence.

Texas! I thought it would be Florida...................

Texas, what do you expect???

Fire ignites as resident tries to siphon gas with vacuum, Wisconsin officials say



A homeowner sparked a garage fire while attempting to transfer gas between containers with a vacuum, Wisconsin firefighters said.

The Janesville Fire Department responded to a call about a residential fire on Sunday, July 17, according to the department’s Facebook page.

When firefighters arrived, they found the detached garage engulfed in flames. The fire spread to the main house, the department said.

Retired Lt. Dave Sheen posted photos of the incident, noting the vehicle in front of the garage also caught fire.

One person was taken to the hospital for minor burns to the arms and hands, the fire department said.

Sheen said the fire ignited when the resident “was transferring fuel between containers in the garage.”

The resident had used a wet/dry vacuum to siphon gas from the vehicle, the fire department said in a news release on July 17....

Authorities estimated that the fire damage cost $150,000....

I wonder what the value of the gas he was transferring was.

Greta Thunberg’s Twitter Takedown Inadvertently Leads to Andrew Tate’s Arrest for Human Trafficking



... In case you missed it, earlier this week Tate, a former kickboxer turned misogynistic far-right media personality, attempted to troll Thunberg by flaunting the 33 cars he apparently owns. “Please provide your email address so I can send a complete list of my car collection and their respective enormous emissions,” Tate wrote in a tweet directed at Thunberg. The 19-year-old Nobel Prize nominee responded with an absolutely brutal takedown: “yes, please do enlighten me. email me at smalldickenergy@getalife.com,” she tweeted.

In an attempt to save face, on Thursday Tate uploaded a video in which he responded to Thunberg’s mockery while smoking a cigar and eating a pizza. The only problem? The pizza box was from a local pizza chain—alerting Romanian authorities of his presence in the country.

According to Romanian newspaper Gândul, Tate and his brother Tristan were among four individuals who were arrested on Thursday. Romania’s Directorate for the Investigation of Organized Crime and Terrorism said in a statement that police raided five homes as part of an investigation into organized crime, human trafficking, and rape. The suspects allegedly kept at least six women captive in houses outside of Bucharest, where they sexually assaulted the women and forced them to produce pornography for social media under threats of violence.

Upon conducting their raid, police reportedly found “several” women, as well as cash, guns, bars of gold, and vehicles.

Opps. Greta Thunberg, international crime fighter. No one ever accuses LOL LOL LOL AGW deniers LOL LOL LOL of being smart, no one.

Karma! I can't remember when I read something this delicious!

Thanks, Greta, for helping to end '22 on a high note.

Two charged with attacks on four power substations in Washington state

RW terror? Maybe not:

... Matthew Greenwood and Jeremy Crahan have been charged with conspiracy to damage energy facilities and Greenwood faces a separate charge of possessing illegal short-barreled rifles.

According to court documents, Greenwood, 32, and Crahan, 40, plotted to knock out power from four substations. While power was out in the first two facilities, the pair broke into a local business to steal from the cash register, Greenwood allegedly told investigators after his arrest....

The two cut off power to thousands of locals and caused at least $3 million worth of damage, according to charging documents.

One cash register? Seriously?

Investigators identified Greenwood and Crahan almost immediately after the attacks took place by using cell phone data that allegedly showed both men in the vicinity of all four substations, according to court documents. Surveillance images cited in the court documents also showed images of one of the men and of the getaway car.

Haven't they watched a single crime show in the last 20 years?

When Greenwood was arrested in a trailer Saturday,

Of course.

law enforcement also found two short-barrel rifles, which they say Greenwood did not legally own.

Um, hide your other illegal stuff for awhile. Haven't they watched a single crime show in like forever?

The two face up to 20 years behind bars if convicted of conspiring to attack energy facilities....

All for one cash register? Seriously?

... Though investigators have repeatedly warned in recent months of a rise in threats to critical infrastructure by anti-government groups and domestic extremists, prosecutors did not highlight any association between the two defendants in this case and any such organization.

They may just be regular idiots.

Canada Man:

Man Rescued After Getting Trapped Inside Famous Sculpture
A 26-year-old man was trying to climb the Talus Dome in Edmonton, Alberta, when he slipped through an opening



... Known as Talus Dome, the sculpture is made up of more than 1,000 handcrafted metal balls stacked into a mound....

... The shiny, reflective spheres mimic piles of rock or gravel, serving as a reminder that “the landscape has been altered by the bridge, a rigid, controlled construction that meets our needs to traverse the obstacle of the river,” according to the city’s public art website. “It refers to the coexistence of the man-made and the natural.”

On Sunday evening, a passerby called first responders and told them that someone—or something—was stuck inside the sculpture. Once firefighters arrived on the scene, they had to break out some heavy-hitting rescue equipment to extricate the man, including the tool known as the jaws of life, which is typically reserved for car accidents....

In total, three crews were brought in to help free the man, including a technical rescue team. Firefighters had to cut into the sculpture and remove one of the spheres to get the man out.

After roughly an hour and a half, he emerged. While he was physically unharmed, he was promptly charged with one count of mischief over $5,000....

Parody hitman website nabs Air National Guardsman after he allegedly applied for murder-for-hire jobs

... Garcia applied on the website for work as a hitman in February, submitting identification documents and a résumé, as well as "indicating he was an expert marksman," earning him the nickname "Reaper," and was "employed in the Air National Guard since July 2021," according to the U.S. attorney's office.

Garcia continued to follow up on the website for about a month — submitting even more identifying information, including his home address and a head shot — and eventually agreed to kill someone for $5,000 in a conversation with an undercover FBI agent, according to the criminal complaint.

"On Wednesday, Garcia met the undercover agent at a park in Hendersonville, Tennessee, and was provided with a target packet of a fictional individual, which included photographs and other information about the individual to be killed, and a down payment of $2,500," the U.S. attorney's office said. "After agreeing to the terms of the murder arrangement, Garcia asked the agent if he needed to provide a photograph of the dead body. Garcia was then arrested by FBI agents, who in a subsequent search of his home, recovered an AR style rifle."

Garcia was charged with use of interstate commerce facilities in the commission of murder-for-hire. If he is found guilty, he could face up to 10 years in prison....

Not a good week for the Air National Guard...

"BE A HOMETOWN HERO IN THE TOWN YOU CALL HOME" is already pretty dumb. Where else could you be a "HOMETOWN HERO"? However, maybe they should make the point clearer with:
"BE A VILLAGE IDIOT IN THE VILLAGE YOU CALL HOME, Air National Guard."

This shows that the military top brass doesn't care.

Timothy Hale-Cusanelli, 32, of New Jersey, an Army reservist, was know as a proud nazi for years. He grew a hitler stash, sported a hitler haircut, walked like hitler and wore that hitler grimace. He was the real deal. To show their concern, the military gave little hitler a security clearance and were silent about his looking and talking about hitler.

It was until after he stormed the Capitol that they dropped his security clearance.
