Broken-hearted Lover Hangs Self While ex-Girlfriend Watches

Man hangs self as horrified ex watches on Web cam

Sep 06 2009


Chilean police say a young man distraught over a breakup with his girlfriend hanged himself while she watched over a Web camera.

Deputy inspector Carlos Court says 26-year-old Simon Venegas was chatting with his former girlfriend when he pointed his camera at a tree in a courtyard of his house.

Court says Venegas hung a rope over a branch and told his ex, "Watch what I'm going to do" and "I love you, take care," before hanging himself.

The horrified 23-year-old woman called Venegas' friends to stop him, but Court says they arrived too late. The couple broke up a year ago.

The suicide happened Friday in San Felipe, about 90 kilometers (55 miles) southeast of the capital of Santiago. Police announced it Sunday.

The Real Faces of War - Dead or Dying

There is nothing disrespectful about showing the American people what war is really all about, young women and men dying in a dirt trench because some old men and women continue to think war is the answer to every political disagreement.

I'm sorry this young man's relatives feel aggrieved by the public display of their son dying. But maybe they can see it as an effort on their part as well to stop the killing of other young men and women.

Let the person(s) who would send young women and men to their deaths lead the way, physically, at the head of the charge. Only then will they find a way to end wars.

Maine Man Likes His Crap Straight, No Processing, No Additives

Outhouse Aficionado In Deep Shit, again.
Maine man busted for climbing into national forest crapper


From the Smoking Gun: The Crapper Guy>>>>>

SEPTEMBER 1--For the second time, a Maine man has been arrested for climbing down into the waste vault below an outhouse in a national park. Gary Moody, 49, is facing federal charges for a Memorial Day incident at a campground in the White Mountain National Forest, where he was first arrested in 2005 after being spotted in the waste vault beneath a women's toilet (at the time Moody claimed he dropped his wedding ring down the toilet and climbed in to the vault to retrieve it).

According to an affidavit filed last week in U.S. District Court in Portland, a nine-year-old boy waiting to use the bathroom noticed that "the toilet had been pulled out and was lying on the floor. At that point a man popped out of the hole leading to the waste vault." After a few minutes, a "completely wet" man exited the restroom and told the boy, "Man, sorry about that, I was getting my shirt."

After learning of the bizarre incident, federal investigators immediately suspected Moody had been in the vault "based on the extremely rare nature of this type of activity." When interviewed at his home, Moody admitted climbing into the vault, claiming that his shirt had fallen into the waste chamber. Moody claimed that he had removed his shirt "and placed it on the seat of the outhouse because he thinks that outhouse seats are dirty." When a federal agent commented that it did not make sense to "climb into an outhouse pit if he didn't like to even sit on outhouse seats," Moody fell silent.

When asked if he had "ever had counseling because of his outhouse problem," Moody said no, adding that he had "anger toward society because of how he was treated after he was found in the pit of a National Forest outhouse in 2005." Pictured above in a mug shot taken after that bust, Moody--now facing three misdemeanors--is due in federal court on September 16 for an initial appearance.

Cops Exercise Their Muscle in Arkansas

Cops Shoot Fire Chief in Courtroom Scuffle After His Speed Trap Complaints


By Debra Cassens Weiss

A fire chief who went to court to complain about a speed trap in Jericho, Ark., ended up with a bullet in his hip after he got in a scuffle with police at the hearing and one of them fired his gun.

The fight broke out during Fire Chief Don Payne’s second court appearance over traffic tickets in one day, the Associated Press reports. Earlier in the day, Payne failed to get a traffic ticket dismissed. When police issued a new ticket to either Payne or his son, the fire chief returned to court to protest. The scuffle broke out when an argument escalated between Payne and the seven police officers who attended the hearing. Payne was shot from behind.

Jericho residents told AP their town is known for the large number of tickets given to motorists on the main highway there. But the shooting has changed the status quo.

“Now the police chief has disbanded his force ‘until things calm down,’ a judge has voided all outstanding police-issued citations and sheriff's deputies are asking where all the money from the tickets went. With 174 residents, the city can keep seven police officers on its rolls but missed payments on police and fire department vehicles and saw its last business close its doors a few weeks ago.”

Prosecutor Lindsey Fairley told AP he doesn’t plan to file any felony charges against the officer, who was not identified, or Payne. He said he didn't remember the name of the officer who fired the shot.

Man Charges Woman With Sexual Assauilt

Calif. man says he was held in a sexual embrace despite his entreaties to be released.

Sep. 4, 2009
Bakersfield, CA

A 22-year-old California man filed charges with police claiming he was having sex with a woman who refused to release him from her embrace.

On the police incident report the man said the woman had her legs wrapped tightly around him and was holding his head by his ears. He said the woman is a professional dancer and has very powerful legs.

What began as consensual sex between the pair turned into what the man described as female on male rape. He tried to say no, but the woman refused and only locked her legs more tightly and pulled his ears harder, causing him excruciating pain.

The 42-year-old woman told police the man said he was interested in rough sex. When he began to scream she thought he was role playing and squeezed and pulled his ears even harder. But she insisted it was all consensual.

Police have not decided whether to file charges, saying it would be very difficult to obtain an indictment. Courtroom pros said the man would not make a very sympathetic witness in front of a grand jury given the totality of the facts.

Oops, Sorry About That. Glad No One Was Hurt.

Pa. man fires cannon, blasts neighbor's house

Sep 04 2009


A Pennsylvania history buff who recreates firearms from old wars accidentally fired a 2-pound cannonball through the wall of his neighbor's home.

Fifty-four-year-old William Maser fired a cannonball Wednesday evening outside his home in Georges Township that ricocheted and hit a house 400 yards away.

The cannonball, about two inches in diameter, smashed through a window and a wall before landing in a closet. Authorities say nobody was hurt.

State police charged Maser with reckless endangerment, criminal mischief and disorderly conduct.

No one answered the phone Friday at Maser's home. He tells WPXI-TV recreating 19th century cannons is a longtime hobby. He says he is sorry and he will stop shooting them on his property, about 35 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.

His neighbor wants to know what he's going to do about the hole in his house.
