Trench Reynolds: DBKP This Week in Crime, June 15-21

June 15-21, 2008

I’m Trench Reynolds.

I blog about crime.

This is the DBKP Week in Crime for June 15th-21st, 2008

At craigscrimelist there was an unusual turn of events when a Phoenix blamed craigslist for a crime that they had no part in…for once.

CrimeNe.ws has yet another format change and is providing quick links with minimal commentary to crime news stories.

At News of Doom the most horrific story of the week had to be about the cult in the Czech Republic where one of its members skinned her own child and fed the flesh to other members.

MyCrimeSpace had its own horrific story when an HIV positive man was charged with the rapes of underage girls he met through MySpace and VampireFreaks.

The headlines in my own backyard have been about the recently arrested alleged Black Widow so at Psycho for Love I posted about Betty Neumar who buried 5 husbands since the 50’s.

Are you one of those people who think teens should be never charged as adults? Then you might be interested in a post I made at TheTrenchcoat Chronicles. Two teens from Minnesota are have been charged as adults in a double murder. Yet I don’t hear the usual bleeding hearts coming to their defense. Is it because these kids are black?

And unfortunately I have a sad passing to report in the Trench Reynolds family of blogs. I’m shuttering Vice Tube because it just hasn’t been producing content or traffic so I have to clos its doors. However don’t be dismayed because I have started a brand new project that I hope will get the support of DBKP readers. The concept behind the new blog is to document people who dare to call themselves parents after the atrocities they commit on their own children. It’s called Bad Breeders. On Saturday I posted a story about a couple from Mass. who would sexually abuse the woman’s 8-year-old daughter and share the pictures with each other.

That’s it for this week. I’m Trench Reynolds for DBKP.

Here’s hoping I don’t blog about you.

Good War News, Islamophobia and Heinz Mayonaise

CULTURE WATCH, Volume 20
by Nancy Morgan
Right Bias

Progress continues apace in Iraq. The flow of investment dollars into Iraq from European, Asian and Western companies indicates that we, and the Iraqi people, have finally turned the corner. Iraqis are getting the hang of law and order and seem to like it.

Marines in Afghanistan have chased most of the Taliban from the world’s largest poppy-growing region. That’s the furthest south the Marines have been in years. Meanwhile, IED deaths in Iraq are down 89%.

The mainstream media continues to ignore the much improved situation in Iraq, focusing instead on trying to lay the blame for the flooding in the midwest and the fires in California on:

GLOBAL WARMING

Bad news for the eco-warriors. As gas prices continue their upward spiral, everyday Americans are starting to wise up. A whopping 67% now believe that we should drill for oil off the coasts of Florida and California.

Not to be deterred by reality, radical environmental group Greenpeace has called for all coal-fired power stations to be shut down by 2030. And leading eco-alarmist scientist, James Hanson, is demanding we put oil chiefs on trial for spreading doubts about global warming. I kid you not.

In the year since Father Earth, (Algore) took steps to make his Tennessee mansion more energy-efficient, his energy use has surged 10%.

Congress continues to obstruct any and all measures that might actually bring down the price at the pump, focusing instead on, well, other stuff, as outlined in this week’s article Our Public Servants. The good news is that ordinary Americans have finally wised up to them, as evidenced by a new Gallup Poll showing only 12% of Americans now have confidence in Congress. This is the lowest rating in 35 years. Just so.

GOOD NEWS:

Finally, a little attention is being paid to the rule of law. Illegal immigration prosecutions hit an all-time high this March, with arrests up 50% from April and a whopping 73% from 2007.

The IRS is finally stepping up its probe into race-hustler Al Sharpton’s finances, sending a flurry of subpoenas to his most generous corporate donors. This could mean corporations won’t have to spend all their time and money proving they’re not racist and will be free to concentrate on profits.
PS. No matter what the left says, ‘profit’ is not a dirty word.

English as our official language is gaining momentum as proponents keep going to the ballot box with measures that discourage bilingual ballots, notices and documents. Time to hablas english.

CULTURE:

Muslim countries have won a battle to prevent Islam from being criticised during debates by the (misnamed) UN Human Rights Council. And speaking of “human rights”, police in Britain have spent 100,000 pounds trying to find a chemical and biological attack suit to fit over a Sikh officer’s turban and beard. Alas, no luck so far.

In good news for Democrats, a new state rule in Florida allows 115,000 felons to be given back their civil rights, including the right to vote and hold office. Lovely.

Another disaster diverted as a bank-robber claiming to have a bomb was stopped by a customer armed with a–gasp–gun. Media silence ensued.

Gay men and straight women share some characteristics in the area of the brain responsible for emotion, mood and anxiety, researchers say. A new study points out that scientists who falsify, fabricate or plagiarise data are becoming more numerous.

Good news for juveniles who are languishing in New York juvenile detention centers, trying to decide which gender they want to be. A new policy allows these confused, sensitive youths to wear whatever uniform they chose, be called by whatever name they like and even to avail themselves of special housing if they feel other prisoners discriminate against them as they prance around in miniskirts and make-up.

Gloucester, Mass. is reaping the results of all those edgy progressive attitudes they’ve been spouting. Apparently, several 14-, 15- and 16-year-olds decided they wanted to get pregnant. 17 of them did. A 24 year-old homeless man was one of the sperm donors. The town fathers are shocked–shocked!

Heinz has launched a homosexual-themed TV campaign that features two men sharing a kiss. Question: What do two men swapping spit have to do with selling mayonaise?

WEIRD STUFF

A Japanese firm has introduced a robotic girlfriend for all the lonely men out there. The robot, unlike feminists, kisses on command. Speaking of lonely men, a Singapore man was sentenced to 14 years in jail and 18 strokes of the cane for sniffing women’s armpits.

Picture this. A 5′9″ black-headed python was found in a toilet bowl on the tenth floor of an Austrian apartment complex. It’s believed the snake had been residing in the plumbing for some time.

A Virginia man demonstrated its possible to regularly dine at fast food restaurants without signing your own death certificate. He lost 86 pounds on the McDonalds diet. Snack on that, while its still legal.

In what I hope will become a sign of the times, a Romanian village knowingly voted in a dead man as their mayor in last weeks’ municipal election. Apparently they preferred him to his living opponent. Cool jeans.

Till next Monday, keep smiling.

Josef Fritzl: Daughter May Testify Via Videotape

Rosemarie and Josef Fritzl

Elisabeth Fritzl, daughter of Josef Fritzl, can testify via videotape in the case that has worldwide attention.

Doctors have advised that the daughter of the man who locked his daughter in a makeshift cellar prison for 24 years, Elisabeth Fritzl, who bore her father seven children, is not at this time ready to testify via videotape but may be ready in the near future.

According to The Mirror, Elisabeth must give a video taped statement in order for Fritzl to stand trial “as soon as possible”. This type of testimony, via video, allows Elisabeth to not have to attend a trial and testify in front of her father.

It was only after police assured Elisabeth that she’d “never have to face her father “again” that Elisabeth broke down and told authorities that she and three of her children had been imprisoned beneath the Fritzl family home for 24 years. Three other children were taken by Frizl upstairs and raised by him and his wife. Friztl had Elisabeth write notes claiming she was okay but that she could not care for the children who were toddlers at the time. One child died shortly after birth. Fritzl was the midwife for all 7 babies born by Elisabeth in her’s cellar of horror.

Elisabeth and three of her children might never have been released if not for the illness of her 19-yr-old daughter Kerstin. For some reason Fritzl allowed Kerstin to be treated at a local hospital after she became critically ill back in Mid-April. Doctors induced a coma when Kerstin’s organs began to fail. She remained in critical condition in her artificially induced sleep until June. Doctors now say Kerstin is not only awake but is up and “walking”.

Doctor’s had found a letter in one of Kerstin’s pockets from Elisabeth imploring them to take care of her daughter. A plea was issued by the hospital for the “mother” of Kerstin to please come forward as Kerstin was critically ill. Fritzl then allowed Elisabeth to leave her 24-yr prison to travel to the hospital. It was then that the police intercepted the two. When the authorities guaranteed that

Kerstin would never have to “face” her father again she broke down and told her gruesome tale, how her father had drugged then handcuffed her then locked her into his makeshift prison cellar.

Fritzl now sits in prison awaiting charges. As soon as doctors determine Elisabeth is able to testify she will “face” her father via a TV screen as he listens to her statement.

Best Pictures of a Desert Sunset You’ll Likely See All Day

The stately Saguaro cactus, guardian of the desert, at sunset.

The Saguaro, pronounced “sah-wah-roh”, (Carnegiea gigantea) is a large, tree-sized cactus species in the monotypic genus Carnegiea. It is native to the Sonoran Desert in Arizona, the Mexican states of Sonora and Baja California, and an extremely small area of California. The saguaro blossom is the state flower of Arizona.

The Sonora Desert, outside of Tucson is the principle home of the Saguaro.

The Sonoran Desert (sometimes called the Gila Desert after the Gila River or the Low Desert in opposition to the higher Mojave Desert) is a North American desert which straddles part of the United States-Mexico border and covers large parts of the U.S. states of Arizona and California and the Mexican states of Sonora and Baja California. It is one of the largest and hottest deserts in North America, with an area of 311,000 km² (120,000 mi² ). The desert contains a variety of unique plants and animals, such as the saguaro cactus.

George Carlin: Comedian Dead at 71

George Carlin, of the “seven words you can’t say on television” fame, died of heart failure Sunday. Carlin was admitted to St. John’s Health Center in Santa Monica and died shortly before 6 pm, according to reports.

Carlin had a history of heart problems and was admitted after complaining of chest pains. He was 71.

He earned five Emmy nominations, as well as several gold records.

ALSO at DBKP: * George Carlin: Comedian Dead at 71 * George Carlin: Twelve Amusing Questions by Carlin * George Carlin Quotes: 30 Observations by Carlin

The comedian, who toured college campuses for years and made a name for himself using dirty language and delivering biting social commentaries, had released 22 solo albums and three bestselling books.

He finished a show at The Orleans in Las Vegas last week and was planning to take the month off to relax and work on a new book of essays and musings, Abraham said.

Carlin normally took summers off and was scheduled to begin touring again beginning with a July 20 performance at Humphrey’s Concerts By The Bay in San Diego. He had dates lined up through December, Abraham said.

“He was looking forward to it,” his publicist, Jeff Abraham said.

Carlin went to the hospital Sunday afternoon because “his heart just didn’t feel right,” the publicist said.

Carlin was famous for such observations as, “Why is it you park in a driveway and drive on parkway?”

“There are three ingredients in my comedy,” he said in a 1991 interview with the Los Angeles Times. “Those three things which wax and wane in importance are English language and wordplay; secondly, mundane, everyday observational comedy — dogs, cats and all that stuff; and thirdly, sociopolitical attitude comedy.”

According to some sources, Carlin’s observations, especially his political ones, seemed to have grown more bitter with age.

George Carlin, Rest in Peace.

Megan Meier MySpace Suicide: Lori Drew Pleads Not Guilty

Lori Drew, the infamous Mom and alleged villain next door in the Megan Meier MySpace Suicide story, plead not guilty in a Los Angeles Federal Court June 17th to charges of conspiracy and accessing computers without authorization.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Drew plead not guilty in a proceeding that lasted only a “few minutes”.

ALSO at DBKP.com: Megan Meier MySpace Suicide, Lori Drew: DBKP Library of Stories Over 40 DBKP stories and videos on the Megan Meier MySpace Suicide case–from DBKP: the place who coined “MySpace Suicide” and had the story first on the Net!

Drew was indicted on May 15th by a Los Angeles Federal Grand Jury. DBKP’s Megan Meier MySpace Suicide: Lori Drew Indicted details Drew’s involvement in a case that not only stunned a bedroom community of St. Louis, Missouri, but an entire nation.

Megan was about to turn 14 when she took her life. Megan’s parents, Ron and Tina Meier, allege that Megan’s suicide was acerbated by the alleged antics of Drew, a long time neighbor and Mom of a former childhood friend of Megan’s.

Megan had opened a MySpace account shortly before her 14th birthday with the permission of her parents. She then met a “boy” named Josh who claimed he was 16, new to her area, and wanted to be friends. The two spent several weeks communicating online before Josh turned hostile, commenting on Megan’s appearance and other friends. Megan committed suicide shortly after receiving a comment from “Josh”, that the “world would be a better place” without her.

Weeks later Megan’s parents learned the awful truth: Josh wasn’t a 16-yr-old boy but a 46-yr-old neighbor named Lori Drew. Drew denies her involvment and blamed a 17-yr-old employee, Ashley Grills. Yet Drew admitted the fake Josh personna was to be used to monitor any “comments” made about Drew’s daughter, a former childhood friend of Megan’s. Grills attempted suicide shortly after the story of Megan’s death and the circumstances that surrounded it surfaced in the news and on the web.

Drew’s trial is scheduled to begin July 29 in Los Angeles.

Jennifer Moss, the Pastie Lady to March Topless in July 4 Parade–Or It’s Lawsuit Time!

“I am wearing a hemp g-string. The real American fabric of our lives!”
–Jennifer Moss, formerly “The Pastie Lady” & “Earth Friend Jen”; new nickname: “The Naked Lady”

Jennifer Moss–with clothes on–campaigns
for the environment and hemp.

Jennifer Moss, the Environmental Exhibitionist–also known as “The Pastie Lady”, “The Naked Lady” and “Earth Friend Jen”–is back in the news again. This time, the former resident of Ojai, CA has announced that she’ll march–or skate–topless in the Ashland, OR (her new home) 4th of July parade.

This is not as big a step for Moss as one might think: she usually skates and bikes around town in a hemp g-string and pasties. So, she’s losing about 5-6 square inches of covering for the Fourth of July event. But the town’s Chamber of Commerce says the parade is a family celebration and she can’t participate nearly nude.

If Moss can’t roll in the parade, she says she’ll sue.

No word on what she’ll wear–or not wear–to court, in the event of a legal wrangle.

Moss often rides topless through the streets of Ashland, a town that requires the groin to be covered. Apparently, the Ashland Chamber of Commerce isn’t too thrilled about seeing more of Jen. They’re saying that the parade is a family event and Jen’s toplessness is more than most families want to see.

Moss says she’ll sue the town if she isn’t allowed to march, skate or ride topless.

Jen Moss has been known as “The Naked Lady” since she moved to Ashland in May from Ojai, Calif., drawn by the town’s nudity laws. They specify only that people must cover their genitalia in a city park or the downtown commercial district, which means Moss need not cover her breasts.

The police in California, she says, harassed her when she rode her bicycle wearing a G-string and pasties.

The popular holiday celebration is a big deal in Ashland, drawing thousands of onlookers, including many families, according to reports.

The Ashland Chamber of Commerce learned of her coverage plans from an online posting. She promised to lead in-line skaters “wearing only a hemp G-string and blowing a conch shell.”

“We don’t feel that someone in the parade who is topless or nearly naked is appropriate for a family audience,” said parade chairman James Kidd.

Kidd said that parade “entries must be appropriate for a family audience.”

“She’s welcome on any other day of the year to do that,” he said. “But not on the Fourth of July while in the parade.”

But not all of the City Council agrees with Kidd. Council member Eric Navickas said he’s favors a topless Moss. He somehow worked in a reference to U.S. foreign policy to justify parading a topless Moss in front of the kids on the Fourth.

If she can’t be in the parade, Navickas said, it would be “an interesting commentary on our society that we’re willing to tolerate dead bodies through our aggressive foreign policy from the war, but not healthy, naked bodies.”

Moss was arrested several times in Ojai for skating nearly nude in front of churches on Sunday as church-goers were exiting services.

After all that, she then packed up her pasties and headed north to Ashland.

The Environmental Exhibitionist professes a love for the earth, trees and hemp.

She didn’t say, but her loves also include attention.

Larry Sinclair Motions Rulings: TubesockTed, mzmolly 4; Sinclair 0

[Ed. Note: It appears that our tipster was wrong about the suit being dismissed. LATEST-Larry Sinclair has suffered some setbacks in the suit: which appears to still be alive--barely. He's had 3 motions denied by the judge, while the anonymous posters had one motion granted. More at M&NS: Breaking! Breaking! Breaking!: JUDGE RULES IN SINCLAIR CASE.]

DBKP is hearing rumblings in the DC legal jungle that Obama accuser Larry Sinclair’s lawsuit against 3 anonymous posters at Democratic Underground may have been tossed by Judge Henry H. Kennedy.

A PR release from the Center for Law Forfeiture, the same outfit run by D.C. attorney Montgomery Blair Sibley, states this about the case:

“At the press conference, Larry will (i) reveal the corroborating evidence for his allegations regarding Obama, (ii) address the time-line of the response of the Obama campaign to his allegations and the murder of Donald Young, the openly gay choir director of Trinity United Church of
Christ, Obama’s now-former church and (iii) the significance of the refusal of U.S. District Court Judge Henry H. Kennedy, Jr. to allow Larry’s case to proceed.”

ALSO at DBKP.com: Larry Sinclair stories: The DBKP Library of stories on Larry Sinclair, including his allegations of a sex-and-drugs party with Barack Obama in the back of a limo in Gurnee, IL in 1999, his later polygraph tests administered by whitehouse.com and his continuing story of filing lawsuits against Obama and online posters. Part of the DBKP Political Scandals Library involving 2008 presidential candidates. Included are John McCain, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards.

The PR release also states that Larry Sinclair will “for the first time reveal corroborating evidence” on Sinclair’s claims that he and Obama engaged in sorid sex and illegal drugs back in 1999.

The release also claims that “despite death threats and an organized campaign to prevent him from speaking publicly” Sinclair will finally spill the beans.

We find these claims to be amusing as Sinclair has spent months on his website pleading for “donations” to help with his “legal”costs, published people’s identities and IP addresses, filed two federal lawsuits, given numerous radio interviews and written countless posts, and was able to rent a large room to give a press conference at the National Press Club.

We remain skeptical that Sinclair will finally put his money where his mouth has been all these months. The only thing we’ve invested in this whole sordid mess is time, while others have invested “donations” along with their “faith” in Larry and Larry’s accusations.

Incredible Hulk Smashes Box Office Opposition

“There were a lot of naysayers out there when we said we were doing this. The Hulk smashed those naysayers.”
–Nikki Rocco, Universal’s president of domestic distribution

Weekend Box Office Leaders: June 13-15, 2008

The latest movie adaptation of Marvel Comic’s The Incredible Hulk finished where the comic book character usually ends up: on top.

Judged against Spider-Man, Hulk came up short. Judged against Hulk, The Incredible Hulk came up big. The franchise restart, starring Edward Norton, topped the weekend box office with $54.5 million, according to Exhibitor Relations estimates today. While that’s about $8 million less than what Ang Lee’s Hulk opened with in 2003, the gross is considered a victory for Universal Pictures, which had to overcome, well, Ang Lee’s Hulk

The Hulk accounted for about a third of all ticket sales over the weekend.

#2 – Kung Fu Panda $34.3 million

#3 The Happening 30.5 million

#4 Don’t Mess with the Zohan 16.4 million

The rest of the Top Ten:

5. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, $13.5 million
6. Sex and the City, $10.2 million
7. Iron Man, $5.1 million
8. The Strangers, $4.1 million
9. The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, $3 million
10. What Happens in Vegas, $1.7 million

The total movie box office receipts for 2008 are almost equal to this same time last year.
