--------------- Birth Ends in Cocaine Arrest ---------------

KANSAS CITY - What should have been a celebratory event
turned into a drug bust. When a 23-year-old man's wife went
into labor at their apartment, he immediately called 911
and told the operator they needed an ambulance. He was in
such a frenzied state that he neglected to tell them it was
for a pregnancy. So, police were called to the scene first.
When they reached the apartment, the door was ajar so they
entered the premises. By this point, the place was empty,
On their way out, the police noticed a brick of pressed
powder on the kitchen table, sitting next to scales. Inves-
tigators determined the "powder" to be almost $12,000 worth
of cocaine. They found $3,500 more in cocaine in the kitchen.
In the meantime, husband and wife gave birth in the hospital.
Later that night, the husband returned home with relatives,
where police were waiting to slap the bracelets on him and
book him in the country jail. They will still need to speak
with the new mother.

----- Robber Returns to Scene of Crime for Keys, Busted ----

ITALY - A 45-year-old man in Italy thought he had gotten away
with the perfect robbery. He successfully held up employees
at a post office in Bruno d'Asti in northern Italy and left
with a bag of money. He didn't get very far, though - he left
his car keys on a staff member's till. He hurriedly returned
to the post office, but employees had already locked the door
and refused to let him in. An employee described the scene,
"He was desperate and almost started crying, begging us to
open the door, when police finally arrived." The robber was
arrested on the spot and is prison awaiting a court hearing.

---------- Man Arrested For Having Sex Doggy-Style ---------

TACOMA, Wash. ? A Spanaway man believed to be the first person
in the state charged under Washington's new bestiality law
bailed out of the Pierce County Jail this morning. Pierce
County prosecutors say 26-year-old Michael Patrick McPhail
was caught by his wife on Wednesday night having intercourse
on the back porch with their four-year-old female pit bull
terrier. The wife took photos with a cell phone and called
police. Pierce County sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer says
"There's pretty clear proof what happened to this dog."
McPhail was arrested that night. Charged with animal cruelty,
he could be sentenced to a year in jail if convicted. The
bestiality law took effect in June. It was prompted by an
incident in Enumclaw where a man died after having sex with
a horse.

Britain's Home Office announced in November that it had agreed to a settlement in a lawsuit by 197 heroin-addicted prisoners that it was "assault" and a violation of the European Convention on Human Rights for them to have been almost immediately denied all drugs when they were arrested. For forcing the inmates to go "cold turkey," the government agreed to pay each the equivalent of about $7,000. [The Daily Telegraph (London), 11-14-06]

That is wrong on so many levels. Fucking whiney cunts. Didn't anyone tell them that getting off heroin might be a good thing, and that methadone (sp?) is just as addictive?

This is typical San Francisco. One of the few things I disliked about living there.


San Francisco fights over its character
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061209/ap_on_re_us/defending_bl...


By JUSTIN M. NORTON, Associated Press Writer Fri Dec 8, 9:29 PM ET

SAN FRANCISCO - An effort to clean up some of the city's seedier neighborhoods and rid the streets of junkies, hookers and runaways has run headlong into San Francisco's free-to-be-who-you-are ethos.

ADVERTISEMENT

Nearly four decades after the Summer of Love, residents and merchants frustrated with what they regard as blight are turning to the city for help or taking revitalization into their own hands.

But other residents of the Tenderloin district and Haight-Ashbury contend a crackdown would rob their neighborhoods of their identity and violate everything San Francisco stands for.

Joey Cain, a board member of the Haight-Ashbury Neighborhood Council, complained that those who would drive the vagrants from the neighborhood are turning their backs on the Haight's "historic obligation" to shelter the downtrodden.

This is, after all, the city that proved so appealing to the Beats, the hippies and practically every other brand of noncomformist.

Haight-Ashbury was the very capital of the Summer of Love in 1967, when young people flocked for the music, sexual freedom and drug culture. They are still coming, panhandling on corners and sleeping under the trees in nearby Golden Gate Park.

But the neighborhood has changed. Its stately Victorian homes sell for millions, and the head shops are mixed with chain stores and trendy cafes. Business owners and longtime residents complaint that street kids harass the elderly and leave playgrounds littered with needles.

"There is definitely a tension in the neighborhood between the people who live here and the scene on the street," said Gary Frank, owner of Haight Street's Booksmith shop since 1976.

Earlier this year, the city decided to enforce an ordinance that makes overnight camping in Golden Gate Park a misdemeanor. It gave 200 homeless people time to remove their belongings; they were paired with social workers who advised them on how to find housing. Those who had someone back home to care for them were given a one-way ticket.

But an online neighborhood message board was soon filled with diatribes accusing the city of pandering to well-to-do residents and abandoning its principles.

Cain, the Haight-Ashbury community leader, said those who want to drive the homeless out are simply trying to keep real estate prices high.

Elected officials in San Francisco know they must tread lightly to avoid offending people's ultraliberal sensibilities.

"If that behavior is negatively impacting a neighborhood, we are going to deal with it," said Trent Rhorer, the city's head of human services, "but deal with it sensitively and responsibly in a way that gets people in real services instead of simply fining them, citing them and putting them in jail."

Other parts of the Bay Area are feeling similar tensions. In Berkeley's People's Park, site of historic 1960s protests, the University of California has proposed eliminating the grassy hills where the homeless have long congregated. Critics complain the plan would destroy what makes the park special.

In the Tenderloin district, San Francisco's seediest quarter with its flophouses, strip clubs and sex shops, a community group wanted to plant hundreds of trees and enlisted an organization that helps homeless young people to do the work.

But the beautification project angered some gay and transgender residents.

Pamphlets were handed out deriding the proposal, and a picture of the community group's chairwoman, Carolynn Abst, was featured on "Wanted" posters accusing her of heading a "brutal gentrification squad."

Those who want to preserve the grittiness of the Tenderloin point with disgust at San Francisco's Mission District, where in the late 1990s the working-class, mostly Hispanic residents were pushed out by rich dot-com employees.

Abst said opposition to the tree-planting effort was driven by a small group of gay activists. She said she was stunned by the personal attack over what she saw as a good-faith cleanup effort.

San Francisco's image as a city that accepts all comers "is everybody's initial good idea," Abst said. "But over time it wears thin. There is always a new wash of people coming here for the first time and you are cleaning up their bathroom habits."

Despite creeping gentrification, San Francisco continues to draw transients, like the young people in tattered black sweatshirts who sat on a street corner in the Haight with leashed pit bulls recently, asking for change.

"You can get around by the kindness of people's hearts," said Jaclyn, a 25-year-old who would only give her first name.

Race-separatist cult leader Yahweh Ben Yahweh is awaiting a decision on release from parole (after serving 11 years of an 18-year sentence on racketeering charges in connection with as many as 23 gruesome murders, some involving beheadings) and is dying of cancer. His lawyer asked a federal judge in October to approve his immediate release so that his client could "die with dignity."

Texas bill: Let blind hunters use lasers
Associated Press
AUSTIN, Texas - A lawmaker in this firearm-friendly state wants to help more people get the chance to shoot live animals - even if those people can't see.

A bill filed for the 2007 legislative session would permit legally blind hunters to use laser sights, or lighted pointing instruments.

"This opens up the fun of hunting to additional people, and I think that's great," said Republican Rep. Edmund Kuempel, the bill's sponsor.

Visually impaired people are allowed to shoot now with the aid of a sighted person, he said, a requirement that would continue if the sights were legalized.

"I've seen this on TV before, when they're taking target practice," Kuempel said. "When they aim the gun, the guide tells them, aim two inches higher or two inches lower and you're on the target, and you're off and running."

Kuempel's bill would give the state until Jan. 1, 2008, to come up with a definition of legally blind so the law could be enforced.

Under existing law, the use of laser sights, spotlights and headlights is strictly prohibited in all Texas hunting. The practice can have the effect of making animals stand still as the light shines on them. Hunters using sights under the proposed legislation would have to carry proof that they are legally blind.

The Legislature convenes Jan. 9 for its 140-day session.

this is kinda old, but the above reminded me of it...


Internet hunting coming to Texas
Don't let anyone convince you that the Blue States have a monopoly on technologcal innovation. Case in point: a rancher in Texas says he's going to start offering an Internet hunting service where visitors to his website can bag a deer, antelope, and wild pigs using a remote controlled .22 caliber rifle with a webcam mounted on it (the gun is already available for target practice right now, he's just waiting for a faster Internet connection that'll make the gun easier to aim). But don't worry. Smokey, aka Texas Parks and Wildlife Department wildlife director Mike Berger, is already trying to figure out how to shut this down, and has proposed a new rule that'll require anyone hunting animals to actually be physically present at the site where they're shooting.

13 december 2006


Police are to confirm the identities of two more victims of the so-called Ipswich Ripper.

The women are expected to be named as Paula Clennell and Annette Nicholls - the discovery of their bodies on Tuesday took the total of murdered prostitutes to five.

Miss Clennell had not been seen since Saturday night, while Miss Nicholls had not been seen since December 4.

A massive manhunt is under way and detectives are hoping to recover DNA evidence which could aid their search for the killer.

Detective Chief Superintendent Stewart Gull of Suffolk Police, who is leading the investigation, earlier said the "natural assumption" was that the bodies discovered were those of Miss Clennell, 24, and Miss Nicholls, 29, both from Ipswich.

The bodies were discovered near Levington, a village to the south of Ipswich.

All five murdered prostitutes were found close to the A14 dual carriageway which links the Suffolk port of Felixstowe with the Midlands.

The naked body of Gemma Adams, 25, of Ipswich, was found on December 2 in woodland at Hintlesham, on the outskirts of Ipswich. She had last been seen on November 15.

On December 8 the body of Tania Nicol, 19, of Ipswich, was found in nearby Copdock. She was the first to go missing and had last been seen on October 30.

The naked body of Anneli Alderton, 24, from Colchester, Essex, was discovered at the weekend in Nacton, a few miles further east. She had been strangled.

----- Student Deposits Semen in Cafeteria Condiment ------

A student at Wheaton North High School has been accused of
depositing his bodily fluids into a container of ranch
dressing in the school cafeteria. When police investigated
they reported that he did in fact supply an extra ingredient
to the dressing- his own semen. School officials, parents,
and most of all students were disturbed, outraged, and
horribly revolted. The dressing was ingested by an unknown
number of students during the last lunch period on Wednesday
and all five lunch periods on Thursday, before it was
discovered. Though rumors swirled around the school that it
had been going on for months, school officials have made
clear that this is an isolated incident and the police assure
that an attempted aggravated battery arrest is imminent.
Nevertheless, in order to reassure the public, the super-
intendent has made a statement of changed protocols of the
access to and type of containers used in the cafeteria.
