  • craigslist bank robber caught

    Police arrest robbery suspect who made floating escape:

    Remember the bank robber who used craigslist to enlist decoys? He’s allegedly been caught.

    Police arrested 28-year-old Anthony Curcio for the robbery of an armored car in Monroe, Washington. If you’ll recall he used a craigslist ad that said he was hiring workers and for all of them to show up wearing…

    “Yellow vest, safety goggles, a respirator mask… and, if possible, a blue shirt,

    Then when all hell broke loose he was able to make his escape by allegedly intertubing down the Skykomish River.

    A citizen found items in the trash that were used in the robbery and noticed a silver SUV speeding off. The citizen wrote down the license plate and gave it to police.

    Two More Teens Abandoned Under Nebraska’s Safe Haven Law:

    This is a repeat actually. It’s a follow-up to yesterday’s post about the two teens that were dumped off at Nebraska safe havens over the weekend.

    The one 16-year-old girl who flew in from Arizona with her female Breeder didn’t know she was being dumped off at a safe haven. How crappy is that? She thinks that she’s just going to visit family then mom just leaves her at a safe haven.

    Parental chicanery FTL.

  • craigslist prostitution on South Shore

    Prostitution thrives online on South Shore:

    This is just an article about how craigslist prostitution has taken hold on the South Shore of Massachusetts. I just wanted to post a quote from one police officer in the article…

    “For the last few years, I haven’t come across a prostitution case where (craigslist) wasn’t involved somewhere,” said Sgt. Richard Fuller of Weymouth, where police check the site two to three times a week.

    I guess that self-policing by craigslist users is really on the rise.

  • At cemeteries, victory signs for departed Phillies fans

    I think this is pretty cool actually. I will not be doing this for my dad though because I don’t know the next time I’ll be in Jersey. Plus he saw the Phillies win a World Series. I think he would be happier with the Eagles winning a Super Bowl.

  • Is Obama the antichrist?

    Link

    Back during the 2004 election, I joked that John Kerry and John Edwards were antichrists.

    I was going to make one about Senator Obama but he doesn’t look like anyone from a horror movie.

    Since I was raised Roman Catholic I don’t believe in the end times or the Rapture so I don’t put too much stock into an antichrist. So do I think Senator Obama is the antichrist? Not in the least though. Even though he does fit that false messiah description. I don’t think Senator Obama did that on purpose but the Kool-Aid drinking sect of his supporters have.

    Remember kids, not everyone on the right is religious and not all of us that are religious are nutbags.

  • Two more dumped off in Nebraska

    Teenager Abandoned At Children’s Hospital:

    Two more teens were dropped off at Nebraska safe havens over the weekend.

    A 16-year-old was dropped off late last night at Children’s Hospital in Omaha.

    Earlier on Sunday a ‘mother’ actually flew in from Arizona to drop off her 16-year-old daughter at a hospital in Papillion, Nebraska. The article says that the daughter used to live in Omaha like that’s supposed to make it better. If she would have driven she would have beaten the mileage record. Do you think she got her plane tickets in advance?

    That brings the total up to 26 of those dropped off at Nebraska safe havens and three from out-of-state.

    Beat the rush now before Nebraska changes the law in two weeks.

  • One of Idaho trio pleads guilty

    Craigslist prostitution suspect pleads guilty:

    I’ve posted about Douglas Winberry, Lindsey McKeehan and Colby Watson of Boise, Idaho before. They’re the trio who are accused of having sex with a 16-year-old girl, giving her meth, and pimping her out on craigslist.

    Back in August the trio all pleaded not guilty. However, Lindsey McKeehan has recently changed her plea to guilty.

    The Ada County Prosecutor’s office says Lindsey McKeehan has now plead guilty to two counts of felony injury to a child: one count of giving a teen meth, and then the second charge is for having sexual contact with a teen and letting a man watch.

    As part of her plea, McKeehan will testify against her ex-boyfriend Watson. Even with her plea, she’s still looking at 10 years behind bars.

  • Georgia Breeder wants kid back

    Ga. mom negotiating to get son back home:

    The Georgia Breeder who dropped her 12-year-old son off in Nebraska may now get him back.

    Tysheema Brown, 33, is negotiating a deal with Georgia officials for her son to return to their Smyrna home, said her attorney, John Valente, after a hearing in Cobb County Juvenile Court on Thursday. The hearing was continued until Dec. 4.

    Thanks for wasting everybody’s time and resources then.

  • Zarate statements admissible

    Judge: Inmate statements allowed in Randolph teen slaying case:

    Superior Court Judge Salem Ahto ruled yesterday that the statements Jonathan Zarate made to other inmates of the Passaic County jail are admissible.

    If you’ll recall Zarate made statements to other inmates allegedly admitting to the murder of Jennifer Parks and bragging about how he was going to beat the charge on an insanity defense. He also asked an inmate who was found not guilty by reason of insanity on how to act insane.

    Some of those inmates sent letters to the prosecutor’s office detailing Zarate’s statements.

    One less hurdle to overcome in putting this scumbag away for life.

  • #23 in Nebraska

    Boy is 23rd child abandoned at Neb. hospital:

    Speaking of Nebraska, because we do a lot of that these days, the 23rd child has been dropped off under their rather loose safe haven laws. Again, it’s not a newborn.

    This time it’s a 17-year-old boy but at least this time it looks like he was from in state.

    His female Breeder and male step-Breeder gave the excuses of…

    …the boy wouldn’t follow their rules and that they couldn’t afford some programs he needed.

    Again, more Breeders relying on the ‘system’ to raise their child.
