Enrique Gonzalez is evidently a member of the Bulldog gang, and evidently was intent on making sure that his 7 year old son knew it. Police say that the 26 year old thug took his young son to another gang member who agreed to tattoo the child as Enrique Gonzalez held him down. "The boy did not want to have the tattoo put on, but the father forcibly restrained the boy, pinning him to the ground while his friend who is a 20-year-old validated bulldog gang member put a Bulldog paw print on the young boy," said Cardinale. Travis Gorman was taken into police custody on Tuesday at a home in Central Fresno. Tattoo paraphernalia was also found and confiscated. "The tattoo artist was positively identified by the young child as being the one who put the tattoo on him," said Cardinale. The child was placed in his mother's custody after she filed a police report on Monday, April 20th against Gonzalez for having their son tattooed. Police say Gonzalez also goes by the nam...

Two heathens at Sequoyah Middle School decided to start summer break a little early this year, and hopefully they'll end up spending it in some sort of military reform school/ and or juvenile detention center. During first period, a teacher took a sip of her coffee and soon became seriously ill. The teacher was rushed to the hospital, but not before telling administrators what she had seen earlier -- kids lingering at her desk. "The administrators put two and two together and talked to those students to find out if, in fact, they were involved in putting something in her coffee," said Diane Turner with the Federal Way School District. The students admitted to having added Ipecac, a syrup that induces vomiting, to their teacher's coffee. SOURCE

Not my usual crime related post, but this one just annoyed me more than you can imagine. Those reading Byron Shane Carpenter's obit were probably divided on their feelings. Those that knew and loved him may have felt some pain and grief over their sudden loss. But something tells me that MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) was less than impressed, and more angry than sad. Carpenter filed the fake obit, then waited just long enough to ensure that a few people had seen it before prompting his wife to call his lawyer crying and inform him that Carpenter had been in a fatal car accident in order to avoid going to court. It is ironic that Carpenter would choose "fake fatal accident" as his means of fake death- especially given that his upcoming court date was related to charges that while driving drunk, Carpenter struck another car, killing a woman. Carpenter faces charges of homicide by vehicle, great bodily injury by vehicle and aggravated driving while intoxicated from a 2...

Officer John Hege served Oakland California, getting up everyday to put on his uniform and work the streets serving those he swore to protect. And even after his death, Officer John Hege has touched the lives of countless others. SOURCE Oakland police Officer John Hege saved four lives by having his organs donated after being fatally shot in the line of duty Saturday, according to the California Transplant Donor Network. Hege's organ donations saved the lives of four Californians and his tissue donation will enhance the lives of as many as 50 other people, according to the network. The network released a statement saying "we know those who are receiving his gifts thank him and his family with gratitude and a shared sense of loss at his passing. "All of us at the California Transplant Donor Network thank Officer Hege for these generous gifts, and on behalf of the more than 21,000 Californians who desperately wait for the gift of life from those like Officer Hege," th...

A family is mourning the loss of their 7 year old mini chow after it escaped from their home and wondered into a neighboring yard and was, reportedly, cut in half with a Samurai sword. Neighbors say the Reynolds' dog, "Puppy," wandered over to a New Years gathering down the street and that's when the suspect (who isn't being identified just yet) picked up a sword and brutally attacked the dog. "I heard it was worse than that," Paul Reynolds said, "I heard one blow nearly chopped my dog in half." Calcasieu Parish Animal Services Director, Rita Cavenaugh said, "We got one report that the dog tried to bite the man. But, that doesn't sound right. Normal behavior when a vicious dog is around is to retreat." Animal service workers working the case described it as "one of the most horrific animal cruelty cases I've seen in Calcasieu Parish". The dog was 7 years old, had arthritis, and was a miniature mix breed... j...

Robert Rozenti, the self described illegitimate son of an elderly Port St. Lucie woman was such a jackass of a bastard that he allowed his mother to live in conditions unfit for animals, let alone for the woman who gave him life. Paramedics told police they noticed a strong odor of feces and urine throughout the house, according to the police report. Paramedics told police she was covered in her own feces and had it under her fingernails. They also said she was very malnourished and had not been bathed for some time. According to the police report, Chuboff told police she lived with her son, whom she said often yelled at her and uses the "F" word a lot. As if the lack of nutrition and medical care wasn't bad enough, the woman reportedly had been wearing her shoes for such a long period of time that her feet had literally grown into them. Rozenti has been arrested and charged with neglect of an elderly person. SOURCE

Although a much kinder gift might be parents with brains. The father of 3-year-old Adolf Hitler Campbell, denied a birthday cake with the child's full name on it by one New Jersey supermarket, is asking for a little tolerance. Thankfully, we learn that the family isn't just another bunch of racists, as they taken to proving this by naming their two month old daughter :JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell. The idiot father of the boy claims that he " named his son after Adolf Hitler because he liked the name and because "no one else in the world would have that name." If only being a dumbass was a crime... source

I thought I had heard all the 'ex in law' horror stories out there, but I have to admit- soliciting some idiot to assault your ex son in law almost takes the cake. The only thing that could make it worse, is if you'd made the same offer Wilbur Eichman did:  Assault him, shoot him and while you're at it- please remove his penis for extra money. And you thought your inlaws were bad...

I've heard all sorts of explainations about how people are tricked by stupid cons. But this one, well I'm left unsure what is worse- that this man concieved this plan or that parents evidently actually fell for it. A suburban Cincinnati man has pleaded guilty to molesting children after telling their parents that he was an underwear market researcher. Ben Hawkins pleaded guilty Wednesday to nine charges of importuning and three counts of gross sexual imposition. Prosecutors in Hamilton County say Hawkins looked for boys and girls between the ages of 9 and 16. They say he arranged to meet parents and children at schools, hospitals or at their homes and told parents he needed to measure their children's underwear for research. Sentencing could amount to up to 44 years in prison- giving a sicking theory that more than one child was actually victimized by both his perversions, and their parents complete stupidity. Source

**warning this story's crime is only the fact that it's filled with bullshit, but I'm too annoyed to not mention it, so get over it*** First, I'm supportive of different lifestyles, as long as their of age- I don't care who you drag into your bed. But... when a WOMAN pretends to be a man (while still keeping most of her girly parts) and then claims to be a pregnant man- it just annoys the hell out of me. There is NOTHING special to this story, nothing making it any more important than the other thousands of cases of two WOMEN using artificial means to have a baby. I'm really wishing everyone would stop trying to blow smoke up our asses by pretending that this is an actual news worthy case of a actual MAN having a baby. Thomas Beatie, who was born a woman but lives as a man in Oregon after surgery and hormone treatment, is expecting a second child, Beatie has told Barbara Walters in an interview set to air on television on Friday. Beatie, 34, who is legal...

Patrick Lee Kenney might want to consider finding a new hobby to fill his time for the next six years, for at least two good reasons. First- his latest hobby isn't really one that he can continue from prison. Second, his hobby- text messaging a 12 year old girl- is sort of what got him sentenced to jail in the first place. Prosecutors said 29-year-old Patrick Lee Kenney also pleaded no contest to attempted sexual abuse and furnishing obscene material to a minor. Kenney met the girl on the MySpace site. The girl's mother accidentally saw the text messages and gave the phone to Klamath County sheriff's deputies, who continued the text chat with Kenney. Full story. Side note- what is a 12 year old doing on MySpace to begin with? Are there parents out there that are STILL that stupid?

Jodi Harris must have wondered what was going on. Police were showing up at her home time after time, answering calls to 911 that she wasn't making. There was the report that a police officer had been shot and stuff in her trunk, the call that she was beaten. Calls came in the middle of the night, 22 of them, each reporting a 'serious' crime sending officers speeding to Harris' door. Only, there was never any emergency at Harris' home. Finally, detectives started recording the calls that were ringing into the 911 call center from a cell phone. They played them for Harris and that's when she said she recognized the voice as that of her neighbor's, Christopher Gonzalez. "The whole time he was calling he was sitting at the window watching and I never knew it because we never had any conflict with him. He was very polite," Harris said. Some people are just creepy.

Ohio has to make sure it does something even stupider. A few days back I mentioned a situation where a highly respected and devoted detective in Tennessee was stripped of his duties and sent back to patrol because his boss had a case of assholitis. I should have known that Ohio, being the copycat of stupid moves wasn't about to be outdone. Sadly, the rush to punish a respected police officer resulted in this headline: Sylvania Township officer suspended, within a whisker of termination Officer Ron Dicus was suspended for three days without pay for insubordination for disobeying orders to trim his mustache. During a three-hour, quasi-judicial hearing before the trustees, with lawyers on behalf of both parties examining witnesses, police Chief Robert Metzger described Officer Dicus’ mustache as being a “George Custer-type.” This isn't just any old officer, with any old facial hair- he's also a well respected, well liked officer who had more than 20 officers show up...

Michael Melvin is looking at some jail time. His partner in crime, an 39 year old woman by the name of Rachel White, was just sentenced to 18 months in jail after being caught attempting to use her 17 year old as a prostitute in Dayton Ohio. Sheriff's deputies say they found the 39-year-old woman and a man prostituting the girl at a Dayton-area hotel in April. Judge A.J. Wagner gave White the maximum penalty on her guilty plea to a felony charge of attempting to compel prostitution by a minor. He listed her as a sex offender and gave her a simultaneous sentence of 3 months for child endangering. I'm not sure what some parents are thinking, but I do believe this proves my point about giving out tests before we allow just anyone to pretend to be a mother. Source

People, strollers are for babies. Babies. Not sawed-off shotguns, knives, or box cutters . Babies. An upstate New York woman will spend up to three years in prison for packing more than diapers in her baby's stroller. Stephanie Wilson of Utica pleaded guilty last month to carrying an unloaded sawed-off shotgun in the buggy, where police also found several knives and a box cutter. Wilson said she needed the weapons for self protection. [...] Wilson was arrested July 1 after an argument on the street with another woman over money. Wilson first pulled a knife from the stroller, and then the sawed-off shotgun.

Seriously, some asshat wrote that to me, while attempting to defend their spot on the Ohio Sexual Offenders Registration. Here, read it again... maybe  you can make sense of what he's trying to tell us: bvut your dealing with someone whi is legall mindes a genius, intellegoinence level And, not to be accusing anyone of lying, but has anyone else noticed that the legal age of consent in Ohio is 16.. which would make it sort of hard for someone to be charged because they had consensual sex with a 16 year old. You know, cause in Ohio, consensual sex with anyone 16 and over is... legal? Anyone else smell bullshit?

Really hard to pick a title for this one, it was a toss up between current title and "Mental Illness Can Be Hereditary". Honestly folks, if the school nurse shows up on your door step because there is concern for the mental state of your children, and you want to reassure them that your kid is not a nutcase- you might want to remember that *most* people take note of the old saying "apple doesn't fall far from the tree". School spokesperson Ebony Pugh said a nurse and a social worker were assaulted by the parents of a Brashear High School student when they went to take the girl home. The employees decided to take freshman Maria Malloy home, along with her sister, because they had concerns that Maria was acting erratically. According to family members, once there was talk that the student may have some type of mental illness, the mother of the student attacked the school workers. The family, holding tight to the notion that there's no mental illness ru...

A father attending a fair in Wisconsin attempted to invoke a law which allows a minor child to drink alcohol as long as they are in the presence of their parents. It may have worked, except that when he ordered two beers- one for himself and one for his son, he happily pointed his child out to the cashier. She quickly informed police, who objected to the whole 'beer for kid' idea. Might have had something to do with the fact that the son was four years old, and was sharing the beer with his two year old brother.

It's bad enough that people feel it's okay to drive drunk. It gets worse when they decide to do it while towing their children around... but actually sitting in the school parking lot passed out? I can't even begin to describe just how worthless a mother must be to do that to her children. I suppose we have someone to thank for teaching the little kids enough to go get help rather than sticking around. A 9- and 5-year-old walked into a Salem, N.H., restaurant looking for help because their mother was drunk and passed out in their car near an elementary school, police said Tuesday. The siblings went to Sayde's Restaurant near the Soule Elementary School at 173 S. Policy St. on Monday and said that their mother was passed out in the car in the school lot. A witness called 911, and when police responded, they found Laura LaSorsa, 38, of Salem, in the car that was still running and in drive, police said. SOURCE

For those unaware of alternitive activities for children, or for those just to lazy to stop and think of any- I thought it might be helpful to give a refresher course on things you can do with your children. Take a bike ride. Help with homework. Watch a movie. Eat dinner together. Play a board game. Read a book. Play a game of baseball. Make cookies. Go shopping. Make kid friendly crafts. Seriously, there are endless ideas of what a parent who wants to spend time with their children can do. Please note- none of these ideas are, and none of the ideas you come up with should be, to take your kids on a drug buy. Three people are facing drug charges Tuesday, including a Woonsocket man police say brought his 9-year-old son on a drug buy with him. Police said officers were monitoring the parking lot of a Manville Rd. convenience store when they saw Christopher Robertson, 32, pull up. They said Robertson and a small boy got out of the car, used a pay phone and left. Offi...
