Man charged with setting girlfriend aflame

Police in Maryland say escalating dispute led to attack; woman hospitalized

 

HYATTSVILLE, Md. - A man was charged early Saturday with an attack on his girlfriend that left her with second- and third-degree burns on her upper body.

 

Police said that around 2 a.m., the dispute escalated and the woman was burned.

 

"Once she was doused with the gasoline and set on fire, she ran from that location to her home," less than a half mile away, said Cpl. Clinton Copeland, a police spokesman. Police and emergency medical technicians responded to a 911 call placed from the woman's home. She was taken to Washington Hospital Center in the District of Columbia for treatment of her injuries.

Well considering I am in no way interested in sports, or AM radio, it doesn't surprise me he's just another tool.

 

And Bill O riely is an idiot. My father watches him on television and his show drives me insane.

 

The way he talks down to people really bothers me.

Yes, it's a crazy world!

According to Dr. Daniel Greenberger, “Einstein said that if quantum mechanics is right, then the world is crazy. Well, Einstein was right. The world is crazy.”

Blow-Up Dolls Jail Bait?

Feds say perv possessed anatomically-correct inflatable child toys

SEPTEMBER 21--Federal agents investigating the online trafficking of child pornography were surprised recently to learn of the latest sick twist in their pervert hunt: pedophiles are now consorting with child-sized blow-up dolls. While executing a search warrant on August 23 at a Long Island home, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents discovered several "inflated, anatomically-correct child sexual dolls, which were dressed as children," according to an arrest warrant

Murderer who said he was prophet is executed

Ohio cult leader was found guilty of killing couple and their daughters

KIRTLAND, Ohio - Ohio executed a religious cult leader Tuesday for the murder of a family of five followers who were taken one at a time to a barn, bound and shot to death. The youngest was a girl just 7 years old.

 

Jeffrey Lundgren, 56, died by injection at 10:26 a.m. at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility for the deaths of the Avery family.

 

“I profess my love for God, my family, for my children, for Kathy (his wife). I am because you are,” Lundgren said in his final statement.

The evidence against Lundgren was compelling.

 

Upset by what he thought was the Avery family’s lack of faith, arranged a dinner hosted by cult members. Afterward, he and his followers led the Averys one by one — the father first, young Karen last — to their deaths while the others unknowingly cleaned up after dinner. A chain saw was used to muffle the gunfire.

 

'I can in fact talk to God'

Lundgren argued at his trial in 1990 that he was prophet of God and therefore not worthy of the death penalty.

 

“It’s not a figment of my imagination that I can in fact talk to God, that I can hear his voice,” he had told the jurors. “I am a prophet of God. I am even more than a prophet.”

 

He was convicted of killing Dennis Avery, 49; his wife, Cheryl, 46; and their daughters, Trina, 15, Rebecca, 13, and 7-year-old Karen.

 

Lundgren formed the cult with about 20 members in the northeast Ohio town of Kirtland after he was dismissed in 1987 as a lay minister of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, an offshoot of the Mormon church.

 

Lundgren said God commanded him, through interpretation of Scriptures, to kill the Avery family, who had moved from Missouri in 1987 to follow his teachings. :D

 

“I cannot say that God was wrong. I cannot say that I am sorry I did what God commanded me to do in the physical act,” Lundgren told a jury in 1990 in a bid to spare his life.

Pig farmer on trial for first 6 of 26 murders - Americas - MSNBC.com

 

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - An accused serial killer allegedly confessed to killing 49 women and intended to murder one more to make it an even 50, a prosecutor told jurors Monday during opening arguments of his trial.

 

Robert William Pickton has been charged with 26 counts of first-degree murder. He has pleaded not guilty to the first six counts in what is expected to be the most macabre and lengthy murder trial in Canadian history.

 

The 56-year-old pig farmer is charged with murdering the women, most of whom vanished from Vancouver's impoverished Downtown Eastside neighborhood in the 1990s.

 

‘As bad as a horror movie’

A judge warned jurors to expect testimony "as bad as a horror movie" during the trial, and some of those shocking details came immediately.

 

Prosecutor Derrill Prevett said the government would prove that Pickton murdered the six, cut up their remains, and disposed of them. He told the jury that as a successful pig farmer, Pickton had the expertise, the equipment and the means to dispose of them.

This story pissed me off! And after their 10 years in prison, these douchebags are not going to be better citizens.

Congratulations to the parents, I'm sure they can take pride in how they must have reared their kids...

 

 

Teens sentenced for cooking puppy in oven - Crime & Punishment - MSNBC.com

 

Two teenage brothers each were sentenced to 10 years in prison for torturing a puppy by cooking it in an oven.

 

Joshua Moulder, 17, and Justin, 19, pleaded guilty in January to charges including burglary, criminal damage to property, terroristic threats and cruelty to children.

 

The brothers brought neighborhood children to see the dead puppy, then threatened to kill them if they reported it, prosecutors said.

 

Police said they found the dead mixed-breed puppy inside an oven at an apartment community center Aug. 21. Scratch marks were found inside the oven, indicating the puppy had been alive when it was placed inside, prosecutors said.

 

A necropsy on the 3-month-old dog found its paws and snout had been duct taped and it had been doused with paint before being placed in the oven, prosecutors said.

 

Authorities also found damaged computers, broken glass and splattered paint on the walls of the newly refurbished community center.

As a matter of journalistic accuracy, the Moulder brothers were not sentenced to 10 years of prison for “cooking a puppy”, but for burglary, destroying property, and cruelty to and making threats toward children. In most states, animal cruelty, even as sickening an example as this, is a misdemeanor, and rarely caries a substantial prison sentence.
And after their 10 years in prison, these douchebags are not going to be better citizens.
I very much agree. Extreme animal cruelty is a strong diagnostic indication of severe mental illness. Unless the prison in which the Moulder’s are incarcerated has exceptionally good mental health services, it’s likely to be, IMHO, nearly the worst possible thing that could be done to assure that these young people don’t commit worse crimes in the future. This case is an example, I think, of the state thirsting for punishment and vengeance when it should seek to treat mental illness.

 

As someone who’s had much joy and pleasure from living with pet animals, I can’t help but feel sorry for the Moulder brothers. What twisted, unhappy lives they must have, to torture and kill a puppy rather than enjoy petting it and playing with it like normal teenagers. Living with such thoughts and urges is, I suspect, much worse torture than doing time in a lawful prison.

Absolutely CraigD,.....That not only applies to cases similiar to this one but also to many other examples of criminal behavior. It's difficult to put accurate figures on the effectiveness of imprisonment where the interests of the detained are concerned. Nonetheless, I feel that by and large, we send the majority of the criminal population to a place that can only be accurately discribed as Training ground...................Infy
