Johnnie Mullins’ neighbors love Halloween as much as the next heathen, but they think his decorations this year crossed the line from fun-scary to scary-call-the-cops-there’s-a-dead-body-in-our-neighbor’s-driveway.
“Just trying to scare people, that’s what I like to do,” Mullins, of Mustang, Oklahoma, told News9 in defense of his “Halloween prank”: Two fake bodies that appear to have met a bloody demise outside his house.
“My heart about came out of my chest. I thought ‘Oh my God,'” said neighbor Rebecca Fuentes. “If I think it’s real, just think of what a child would think?”
The children “don’t freak out or anything,” Mullins insists, but it seems the adults are freaking out enough for everyone.
One neighbor was apparently so persuaded by how lifelike the dead bodies look that they dialed 911.
A Florida woman stabbed her boyfriend in the eye with a knife after he refused to have sex with her and another woman she had brought home from a local club, authorities said.
The late September incident occurred after La Crystal King-Woolfork, 28, came home from a spot called Shake Your Booty Club with another woman at about 4 a.m. The two women had sex, and then King-Woolfork asked her boyfriend to participate, according to an Indian River Sheriff’s Office arrest report.
When he refused, the intoxicated King-Woolfork “became very angry and grabbed a knife,” the boyfriend told authorities.
The two struggled until the man was able to take the knife from King-Woolfork and hide it between the mattresses of the bed, according to deputies.
He left the house and called for a ride to the hospital, the report said. She was arrested on an attempted murder charge on Sept. 26 after police spoke to her boyfriend.
When police spoke to King-Woolfork, she said confirmed that she brought the woman home to have sex and wanted her boyfriend to join.
When the other woman left, and her boyfriend was in bed, King-Woolfork said she “picked up a knife off the dresser because she knew (her boyfriend) was going to get mad,” the arrest report said.
She said her then boyfriend took her hand to take the knife and the two struggled, which cut her knee, the report said.
The fight escalated and she hit her boyfriend in the head with her cell phone, King-Woolfork said.
She denied stabbing him but said she had hit him in the face several times with a metal candle holder, according to deputies. Then he punched her in the nose, the report said.
A 69-year-old Catholic priest was arrested in a Cleveland park after offering a ranger $50 for a sexual act, police said.
James McGonegal exposed himself to an off-duty Metropark ranger last week and then proceeded to pleasure himself while seated in his SUV on park grounds, police reported.
Because he is HIV-positive, he was charged with a felony count of solicitation after testing positive for HIV, as well as public indecency.
He was a pastor at St. Ignatius of Antioch Church, according to several local reports.
He was released on bond.
He solicited an off-duty ranger wearing civilian and said he was “cruising,” police said. The ranger, who was not part of a sting operation, asked the man what he meant by that.
McGonegal said he needed help to “get off,” according to officers. Sex aides were found in his vehicle.
Then the priest showed the ranger his penis and began masturbating, police said.
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.
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.
House Democrats are circulating a resolution accusing House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) of having a conflict of interest in the debt ceiling debate, a move that could provide an awkward C-SPAN moment for one of the lead Republicans in the budget negotiations.
The resolution goes after Cantor’s investment in ProShares Trust Ultrashort 20+ Year Treasury ETF, a fund that “takes a short position in long-dated government bonds.”
The fund is essentially a bet against U.S. government bonds. If the debt ceiling is not raised and the United States defaults on its debts, the value of Cantor’s fund would likely increase.
The Democratic resolution, obtained by The Huffington Post from a Democratic source on the Hill, argues that Cantor “stands to profit from U.S. treasury default, which thereby raises the appearance of a conflict of interest,” and that he “may be sabotaging [debt ceiling] negotiations for his own personal gain.” It’s not clear how widely the measure was being circulated, with a House Democratic aide saying they hadn’t seen the resolution or heard it being discussed.
“Majority Leader Cantor has compromised the dignity and integrity of the Members of the House by raising the appearance of a conflict of interest in negotiations with the executive branch over raising the debt ceiling,” adds the measure.
A new report focusing on the Canine Special Detail of the LA Sherriff’s Department (LASD) has uncovered a vast increase in the number of minority individuals bitten by police dogs since 2004.
And in the first six months of this year, every single victim of a bite by a LASD dog was African-American or Latino.The data was published in a new report by the Police Assessment Resource Centre (Parc), a Los Angeles-based non-profit organisation, devoted to “advancing effective and accountable policing”.
According to Parc records, the number of Latino individuals bitten by LASD canines went up 30 per cent between 2004 and 2012, from 30 to 39 bites. The number of African-Americans bitten increased by 33 per cent over the same period.
Meanwhile, police dog bites caused injuries at a much higher rate than alternative deterrents such as batons, tear gas and even guns. “Large swathes of LASD’s jurisdiction, encompassing generally affluent areas with smaller minority populations, had few [canine] deployments or bites,” the Parc report states.
“Crime rates are lower in these areas, but the stark disparity leads us to wonder why canine deployments seem to occur disproportionately in less affluent areas with larger minority populations.” During the period covered in the report, the largely black or Latino areas of Century, City of Industry, Compton, Lakewood and South LA/Lennox suffered more dog bites than all of LASD’s other 21 districts combined.
“Ask your kids tonight at dinner. ‘What gives you the right?’ Challenge them. Get in their face.” That was the parenting advice from the Conservative icon Glenn Beck, as he sat perched high on his Republican made pedestal . “Push them,” Beck yelled into the mike, starring at the camera obviously pissed off at something. “Because if you don’t do it now,” Beck continued, “it’s going to be much worse when they’re pushed, and they’re shoved, and they’re shot. Push them!”

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.”
I know things are bad right now, the economy is slowly reviving despite the constant Republican attacks. But can things get so bad that a weatherman feels the need to pick up food off the floor and shove it in his mouth… on camera?
And to make this unbelievable story even worse… the Connecticut weatherman thought he was shoving food in his mouth, but it turned out to be cat vomit.
Scot Haney was running through Wednesday morning’s show with fellow stars at Hartford CBS affiliate WFSB when he spotted what he thought was food on the floor.
Believing it to be Grape-Nuts, he broke the three-second rule to scoop it up and shovel it into his mouth.
It was only as he began chewing the droplets that he started to gag — telling viewers across Connecticut it “tastes like shoes” and “smells like feet.”
With his face pulling all sorts of strange expressions, he then said: “Oh. I don’t think those are Grape-Nuts. I think that might be dog doody.”
The repulsive truth, however, was finally revealed minutes later as Haney presented his “What’s Trending Now” segment of the show.
“Ladies and gentlemen, those were not Grape-Nuts that I ate. I kept finding more and more of it on the floor, and I thought it was grape nuts because it looked just like it,” he said.
“My cat threw up, and I must have stepped in it and that’s what I ate,” he confessed to camera.
Really? This must be a common routine fir the guy. Who picks up food off the floor?
Here’s a surprise: the shutdown was planned months ago. So the pleadings and forthright looks we’ve been getting from Ted Cruz and the orange-tinged scoldings from John Boehner and the laments of the lack of compromise by Republicans everywhere have been fakes. Falsehoods. Frauds. Wait for it…Lies.
What the Republican Cadre, because it’s no longer a viable political party, has done is reprehensible. From the beginning, and I mean 2009, they have tried to obstruct President Obama’s agenda and wait out the electoral clock for four, and now eight years while they plot their way back to power. Thank heavens that they don’t, in fact, know how to do that effectively on the national stage. They will continue to win House seats, though a new poll suggests otherwise, but they’ve fallen farther behind when it comes to women and Hispanics, and we know how viable you are when that happens. In the meantime, all they have is obstruction.
Any talk of compromise or negotiation is not to be trusted. They don’t want to delay the health care bill, they want it gone. They also want Dodd-Frank repealed and for the XL pipeline to be built and they want no new taxes in any economic or tax bill they’d support. And who won the 2012 elections?
But, oddly, they seem to love Medicare and are falling over themselves to fund some parts of the federal government if they believe it will help them. Wait long enough, and they’ll CR themselves into opening the whole thing in a week or so.
