Cat vs. Mountain Lion

A sliding glass door was the only thing that stood between a house-cat named Zeus, and a mountain lion in Boulder, CO. Zeus's owner, Gail Loveman, heard a strange noise when she was in her home office and came out to investigate. Zeus followed her and they were both surprised to see a mountain lion on the porch. The 11 year-old Maine Coon cat got into an epic stare-down with the large predator. Her other cat, Bacchus, peeked his head in, but decided he was better off staying in the hallway. Loveman grabbed her camera and started snapping away until the big cat left after about five minutes. Zeus, who is a large cat himself, is pretty aggressive and hisses at other smaller animals (like squirrels) he sees through the glass door. But he kept his manners with the mountain lion and remained calm. "I think he thought 'Hmmm! This is different,' " Loveman said. He knows who's boss.

The foothills of Boulder have a healthy mountain lion population and although encounters with humans are rare, they can occur. Unfortunately, our pets are easy targets for them. I used to work at a veterinary clinic and let me tell you the best way to keep your kitty safe is to not let it outside at all. If you have a dog, invest in a very tall fence. Responsible pet owner = happy pet.

$100>Pride

A bunch of friends were hanging out in a park in Vallejo, CA last Friday evening when one of them made a ridiculous $100 bet. The 21 year old (who shall remain unnamed) bet his buddies that he could fit his behind into one of those plastic child swings that have the leg holes. The man won the bet by slicking down with laundry detergent and squeezing himself into it. He was so successful in forcing his body into the swing that he got stuck and was unable to get out. To make matters worse, his friends abandoned him there (not before a round of uproarious laughter I'm assuming).

Finally, after 9 hours, a park employee heard his screams for help and called the police. The first thing responding firefighters did when they got there was cut the chains holding the seat. STILL wearing the swing, the man was transported to the hospital. Can you imagine how hilarious he must have looked?! A cast cutter was required to move the swing, and I'm not sure how the hospital staff kept a straight face or if they even did.

It's pretty messed up that his friends left him there though. Maybe they didn't really like him after all, and that was their was of getting rid of him for the night. I guess $100 was the cost of his dignity.

Love Is Blind

 A half-Hawaiian, half-Hispanic woman, Erica Hererra, recently got engaged to an alleged white supremacist and who is currently in prison facing murder charges. Her fiancee, Curtis Allgier, was already in prison for burglary, theft, forgery, illegal concealed weapons, and more, when he allegedly killed a corrections officer in 2007. It gets better. Allgier's face is covered in tattoos, including three swastikas. What a catch!

When asked why she decided to marry a racist accused killer who may spend the rest of his life behind bars, she claimed, "That's obviously not what he is if he's marrying someone that is of a different background than he is." Herrera also thinks, "He's a very sweet, loving…He's a really kindhearted good person. All around good person."
She believes he is innocent of murder and will be acquitted so they will soon be able to spend the rest of their lives together. In the mean time she is hoping he will get moved to a state that allows conjugal visits. Their wedding is set for August 8th inside the Salt Lake County Jail, and they can't even kiss because glass has to divide them on their big day. Her parents must be so proud.

Herrera states that if he is found guilty, she will either divorce him or have their marriage annulled. Why not get married only if he is found not-guilty? And how desperate do you have to be to marry an imprisoned, racist murderer? Just saying...

I've Heard of a Fist Fight, But a Bleach Fight?

We all know Walmart attracts only the most upstanding citizens right? Well this story is proves it! Theresa Monique Jackson followed her baby-daddy's new girlfriend into a Maryland Walmart, and the two got into an argument which eventually lead to fists flying. When Jackson had the other woman on the ground, she proceeded to snatch bottles of bleach and ammonia off the shelves and dump the chemicals all over the victim. It's bad enough having either bleach or ammonia poured on top of you, but both of them together? SUCKS.
The fumes were so bad it sent 19 employees and shoppers to the hospital, including someone with a serious eye injury. I get chills imagining what bleach in the eye must feel like. The store had to be evacuated until a 'hazardous materials' crew could clean up the mess. Jefferson has been charged with first- and second- degree assault, malicious destruction of property, and theft under $100. 

That mug shot is funny as hell, see her bleached hair?

Another Mother of the Year Award...

FAIL! While chaperoning her daughter's  school field trip in Wayne, Wisconsin, a woman overdosed on heroin. Nice. At some point during their trip to Pioneer Village, chaperone Stephanie Bailey, who was accompanying her 7 year old daughter, decided to take a trip to the bathroom to get stoned. When she never returned, one of the parents went to check on her. She found Bailey passed out on the bathroom floor next to some hypodermic needles. She at first thought Bailey was a diabetic until she noticed a glass pipe. First aid was administered and police were called. She was awake when police arrived, and claimed she took both oxy-contin and heroin the night before to celebrate her birthday. They found four baggies of heroin, 2 pills, a metal spoon, a clear glass pipe, alcohol pads, hypodermic needles, rubber tubing, 2 containers of sterile water, and a lighter. Wow, her get-high kit was fully stocked.
I will never understand why she decided to chaperone the field trip if she wanted to get super-crazy stoned. Why not just stay home?? If she had stayed her behind home, she could've done whatever she wanted, and no one would have known. Now her kid is humiliated and everyone knows mommy is a druggie.

Dog Takes a 700 Mile Walk

A Denver woman found a cute little dog named Leia strolling around her neighborhood all alone. She called the number on the dog's collar and discovered Leia has been missing from her home in El Paso, Texas, 700 miles away. Her owners were so excited, they made a trip to Denver to pick up their beloved pooch. "To find out she's been missing for two years, I can just imagine how her family's going to be," said Annmarie Anderson, the woman who found Leia. How in God's name did a ten pound dog get all the way from Texas to Colorado? Your guess is as good as mine! I can't imagine she actually walked that whole way. I bet she got out of her yard, was stolen by someone and brought to Denver, and then got out of their yard.
But who knows, maybe she's Super Dog. Kind of like Mighty Mouse, but a dog.

Look What I Brought!

A kindergartner in Sweet Springs, Missouri was asked to bring some pictures of his family to school for show and tell. Instead, he thought it would be a swell idea to go the extra step, and bring his mom's meth pipe and an ounce of meth.  The young boy was very excited to display the pipe and several baggies of drugs totaling about $3700. His innocent enthusiasm is hilarious to me. Sweet Springs Elementary school contacted police, who then arrested the boy's mother (duh). Michelle Marie Cheatham, 32, was arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance and one count of child endangerment in the first degree. Despite Marie posting bail, her son is in the custody of  relatives. Sources say Marie's life began going downhill after she received a large amount of money after her husband died in a car crash earlier this year.

Justice Served

Surveillance cameras at a convenience store in Houston, TX caught amazing footage of a botched robbery that ended pretty badly for the thieves. The footage captures two men storm into the store armed with a gun. A clerk-in-training is shot in the leg  by one of the robbers while his accomplice, 22 year old Harold Robertson, hops over the counter and starts searching through the shelves. A few seconds later, a second clerk snatches up his hidden gun and fires at Robertson hitting him twice in the upper body. Then we see Robertson hurl himself back over the counter, clearly in pain, and gets the hell out of dodge.

He fled to the house across the street and told the homeowner, Gerald Kilpatrick, that he was carjacked and shot. Robertson stayed on the porch while a suspicious Kilpatrick called the police. Robertson was arrested and charged with aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon. He is going straight to jail right after he gets out of the hospital. His partner and getaway driver are still at large. The injured clerk was released from the hospital and I'm guessing he is now willingly unemployed. This incident is yet more proof that working at a convenient store is one the most dangerous jobs.

She Took Matters Into Her Own Hands...

A substitute teacher at Clover Middle School in Clover, SC has been arrested for punching a student in the face. The student claims when he threw a pen in the trash, the teacher became enraged with anger and punched him in the face with her fist. The teacher, Elizabeth Robinson, admits she became angry with the student slapped him in the face with an open hand, not a fist. After being questioned, Robinson was escorted from the classroom and arrested for assault and battery.

Of course, I don't condone the teacher hitting the student, but he must have been giving her a pretty hard time for her to snap like that. Just saying. Kids can be mean little jerks, especially with a substitute. Today's generation of kids in particular have no respect for authority and are increasingly influenced by what they see on TV. I'm sure Robinson did what thousands of teachers wished they could do.

Conceited Idiot

On Sept 26 in Georgia, a woman made a stop at a daycare center to pick up her child. She forgot to lock her car door. Upon returning home, she discovered that her purse was missing. Later on, the victim went on her Facebook page, and noticed a picture of a man with dreadlocks and gold teeth has been uploaded on her page. It was a picture of the thief who stole her phone. He clearly didn't know her phone settings automatically posted any picture taken. The idiot might as well turn himself in because he basically gave police his picture. Police Major Jason Bolton claims, "We don’t normally get pictures with this sort of clarity, and it’s just real exciting to have a picture that the quality is this good that we can put out there.” Whoever this thief is, he is his own worst enemy.

A Santa Fe Beatdown

In a grocery store parking lot in Santa Fe, NM a man driving a pick-up truck hit a 5 year old girl that  darted in front of his car. When Derrick Manuel stopped his vehicle to check on the girl, three of her relatives jumped him despite the fact that it wasn't his fault.  They beat the living crap out of him, and it had to be broken up by witnesses. Maybe they should have gone and beat up the person in charge of the girl, because it was clearly their fault for letting her bolt in front of a car. The girl suffered minor injuries, and Manuel suffered contusions, swelling, and cuts to his face and body. Manuel wasn't arrested in the incident, because surveillance video proved it was obviously an accident. Unbelievably, the thugs who jumped Manuel weren't arrested either. Lt. Louis Carlos ridiculously stated, "Because we didn't witness the fight or the punching, it falls in the realm of a misdemeanor." Really officer? In order for someone to be arrested for battery they have to assault the victim right in front of a cop huh? That makes a whole lot of sense.
Even though the surveillance video shows Manuel was not speeding, the child's mother thinks he got off too easy. "He was in the wrong by running the stop sign and speeding when there’s families, there’s kids, there are newborns,” said Patrece Visarraga. She is obviously trying to deflect the blame of not paying attention to her child. I mean, I can understand being pissed that your child was hit, but at least accept the blame for being irresponsible.
