Idiots in the news
A quick glance at the headlines reveals that the idiots are out in force.
In Texas, 20 year old Brandon Scott Burke went to a playground and started showing a porn magazine to the little ones. From the report: When one of the mothers saw him and asked Burke what he was doing, he tried to run and the woman started screaming, said Elizabeth Williams, the mother of another child. According to a police report, Burke said about 15 men "jumped him and hit him repeatedly on the face with their fists." He suffered minor injuries, police said. No doubt the ACLU will sign on as Mr. Burke's defense team.
A woman posing as a vice cop conducting an undercover sting as a prostitute was arrested when she tried to arrest a a real policeman who was undercover conducting a sting and posing as a 'john'. Didja get that? AP reports: Police charged Lisa Greene, 31, with first-degree criminal impersonation, prostitution and fifth-degree conspiracy. Elena Irwin, 20, was charged with fifth-degree conspiracy and possession of a hypodermic needle. "We believe these people were going to rob people or extort money," Connellan said. He did not know if they had successfully used the scam in the past.
And finally my favorite set of idiots: Police are hunting "devil worshippers" after a series of sickening "satanic rite" attacks on sheep at a national park. Around 100 animals have been found slaughtered and mutilated with their tongues, eyes and sexual organs removed on Dartmoor in Devon in the past year. In this case, it isn't the satanists who are idiots, they're just plain sick. it's the morons commenting on the article over at thisislondon.co.uk.
Robert Mossinger, USA and Jack of Ohio blame these atrocities on religion.
Ward, Tampa USA suggests the perpetrators be sent to Gitmo. (I suppose this could be considered terrorism?)
James of Pheonix, J Blacksburg of Virgininia and Janet of Miami represent PETA's view by reminding us that this is no different than what happens in scientific labs and slaughterhouses every day.
My favorite comment comes from Michelle, who I suspect is not an idiot but someone, like myself, who sees the stupidity of the other comments. Michelle writes sarcastically - "This is sick. And wasteful..."
Thanks Michelle, it's good to know that somebody out there can take a moderate approach...
