A 29-year-old military veteran in Alabama pleaded guilty to hiring what he believed was a Ku Klux Klan member to kill his neighbor and mutilate his body.
Allen Wayne Densen Morgan began his murder plot when he thought that his neighnor, Clifford Maurice Mosley, who had a previous record of sexual abuse, had raped his wife, according to FOX News. Investigators have not commented on how Morgan came to such conclusion.
“I want this man hung from a tree like he is an animal. I want his d— cut off and I want him cut,” Morgan told Cornelius Harris Jr., an undercover FBI Special Agent. Morgan was arrested on Aug. 25, 2013, when two undercover agents, posing as the KKK members, met him at a motel to finalize the deal. He will be sentenced in February of 2014.
ATLANTA—The Minnesota Lynx swept the Atlanta Dream Thursday night to clinch their second WNBA championship in three years, led by several dominant performances from 31-year-old, eight-months pregnant Rebekkah Brunson.
Brunson, a 6-foot, 2-inch tall, 215-pound power forward who recently entered her third trimester, averaged 26 points and 14 rebounds in the series and was by all accounts the Lynx’s biggest threat on both ends of the floor.
“Rebekkah was really the difference-maker, there’s no question about that,” said Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve, adding that Brunson’s low-post game has drastically improved since putting on 40 pounds over the past few months. “She did it all—blocking shots, snagging rebounds, and absolutely dominating in the paint. And I don’t think I’ve ever seen a player just blow through the lane like that. No one could guard her.”
“When she threw her weight around down low, she was unstoppable,” Reeve continued. “Rebekkah was boxing out every other player on the court to get rebounds, and to do that against a team as good as the Dream was really something special.”
The homeless man participating in a highly-publicized software coding tutorial was arrested earlier this morning by the NYPD. According to NYC programmer and self-proclaimed entrepreneur Patrick McConlogue, “Journeyman” Leo was arrested for trespassing in a city park within the confines of the 10th Precinct, which includes Chelsea. McConlogue tells us Leo was “picked up for sleeping on a bench that he normally doesn’t sleep on.” NYC Parks are closed from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m.
The timing is unfortunate—McConlogue and Leo are scheduled to appear on The Today Show Wednesday morning to talk about their project. McConlogue discovered that Leo was arrested when he went to meet him for their daily tutorial. “His hat was there and his coffee was knocked over, so I knew something happened.” A friend of Leo’s directed McConlogue to a nearby traffic cop who saw the arrest, and he confirmed that Leo was in custody at the 10th Precinct station house.
McConlogue says he was told that it could be days or even weeks until Leo is released, depending on a number of variables. And it may be even longer until he gets the laptop back. McConlogue showed officers the receipt for the laptop he purchased for Leo, but without the serial number the NYPD will not turn it over. “They have to bring it to some processing center, which takes more time,” he says. “We can’t prove ownership.”
In August, McConlogue anounced that he would offer Leo, a homeless person he frequently saw on his way to work, $100 or the opportunity to learn how to code. Leo chose the latter, and for the past couple of months McConlogue has been teaching Leo all about coding. He tells us it’s been going well.
A couple of Louisiana Walmart stores will be stuck with most of the bill after food stamp recipients went on a colossal shopping spree when a power outage temporarily lifted their spending limits, state officials said today.
Police were called to Walmart locations in Mansfield, La., and Springhill, La., on Saturday as shoppers cleaned out store shelves.
Springhill Police Chief Will Lynd said some customers were pushing more food than any household could store in a refrigerator and freezer.
“I saw people drag out eight to ten grocery carts,” Lynd said. One person hauled away more than $700 worth of groceries, the chief said.
The Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services’ spokesman Trey Williams said the retailers who chose not to use the emergency procedures that limit sales up to $50 per cardholder during an emergency would be responsible for any additional amount spent over eligible benefit balances.
Montia Parker, an 18-year old former cheerleader captain at a Minneapolis high school, has been sentenced to 3 years in prison for “pimping out” a younger team mate to generate extra income for herself. Even worse, her 16-year old victim has a learning disability.
Apparently, Parker put up several online ads promoting the girl for sexual services, and even drove her to some of her customers. From one job, the girl performed oral sex for one of her customers, made $60 from the job, and was forced to turn all the money over to Parker.
The victim’s family urged the judge to give Parker the harshest punishment possible. The family says the girl has since isolated herself from others, changed schools, and has lost interest in cheerleading.
In addition to her 3-year sentence, Parker will also be registered as a sex offender and will appear in all nationwide databases.

CBS South Dakota has more on the past of the alleged attacker Joseph Patterson.
“Court documents reveal the 27 year old has been arrested multiple times on various charges. He was arrested in 2004 for violating a protection order, but that was later dropped by the prosecutor. A 2012 arrest for aggravated assault was also dismissed by a prosecutor. Patterson has served time in jail for Eluding officers in 2010. He was also sentenced to five days in jail after pleading guilty to simple assault last year.”
When terrorists attacked at a mall with guns in Nairobi today today, The Times’s Tyler Hicks, a staff photographer, happened to be next door. Here’s what he saw….
An English man is literally shaking in prison awaiting test results to see if he contracted the HIV virus from woman he raped in her bed after breaking into her home in the middle of the night.
Karma is something, ain’t it?
From the British MailOnline.com:
A man who was put behind bars today for forced sex faces an agonizing wait to find out if he has caught HIV from his victim.
Richard Thomas, 27, collapsed when police informed him about the woman’s medical status and is still waiting to hear if he has contracted the incurable virus.
… His barrister, Virginia Hayton, said that he still cannot recall the attack but when told about it he said that the woman “would not lie, she tells the truth. If she says I have done it, I have done it.”
The owner got the dreaded call from his security company that someone had broken into his store. No one was there and the store was supposedly closed and locked. But because of a failure in the security system, the door remained unlocked with the lights on and the four teenagers just walked in.
After walking around the store calling out for the store clerk and finding none, the four teens walked to the unattended counter and left payment for the items they were shopping for.
Imagine the surprise when the store owner got to the store and found everything intact, and a completed sale. Just goes to show you that not all black teens are criminals. Unlike the thinking of some these days.
