Chicago thugs bag a twofer
CHICAGO — An Amazon delivery driver saw an armed robbery in progress as he made deliveries in Back of the Yards on Saturday afternoon. Unfortunately, he got out of his car before the robbers left, and they stopped their getaway car to rob him, too. Ring surveillance footage captured the entire episode.
Ugly AND pushy
A Louisiana woman last night forced her way into a male neighbor’s home and sought to initiate a threesome with the victim and his girlfriend, police allege.
Dispatched to an 11:15 PM harassment complaint at an apartment complex in Monroe, a patrolman was told by the man that upon answering a knock at his door, an “unknown neighbor” forced her way into the residence.
We've all had 'those neighbors'
OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — A family who lives near Southeast 48th Street and Shields are scared after they say their neighbor threatened to blow up half of their block recently.
“My wife won’t even dare go outside she’s so scared, none of us do,” said William Perego.
The Perego’s said they’ve lived at the same home for around 30 years and it was always relatively safe until the past few months.
Let me know when the napalm version comes out
Porch pirates beware. There’s a new home security camera on the horizon, promising to deter would-be intruders and package thieves with paintballs fired at “ultra-high precision.”
OZ-IT, a Slovenia-based startup, is raising money for an AI-powered home surveillance system that would use facial recognition and an app-based system to fire paintballs — or even tear gas pellets — at potential ne’er-do-wells .

Never mind, this is even better.
Haha, right on
California Senate candidate and Representative Adam Schiff had a memorable visit to San Francisco on Thursday. Just hours before a high-profile campaign dinner, thieves broke into his car, which was parked in a downtown parking garage, and made off with his bags. Despite this setback, Schiff attended the event in a casual hiking vest and shirt sleeves, standing out among the formally dressed attendees.

It was simply professional curiosity, I'm sure
A Harbor-UCLA Medical Center surgeon who was accused of a variety of misbehavior, including some sexist and racist in nature, has been fired by the hospital, according to reports.
Dr. Louis Kwong, who was the subject of a lawsuit against the county filed last year, was terminated after a “two-year investigation that found he regularly gawked at the genitalia of anesthetized patients and never disclosed that he was being paid by a medical device company whose products he used on patients,” the Los Angeles Times reports.
Gotta trim that bush, sweetie

In a viral TikTok video the woman identifies herself to a group of teenage girls as a state employee after allegedly pulling down one of their miniskirts at Sakura Japanese Steakhouse on Saturday night.
Ida Ann Lorenzo, 48, told the alleged victim that if she has to watch her 'a** cheeks hanging out again' and see her pubic hair, she would call Child Protective Services. Lorenzo later told police that she intended to file an indecent exposure report.

Ripley
Ripley was a Riverbank cop for a good long while until he went to work for the Sheriff's Department around 1985 or so. He was one of those old skool small town cops, Officer Friendly if you will. Him being called out for something did not mean automatic arrests of everybody involved would be made "to let the courts sort it out".
He was one of those cops that actually took the time to listen to both sides of a dispute, would pull over to help a motorist make minor repairs rather than just calling a tow truck, and would even give you a ride home instead of automatically arresting you if you had a little too much to drink provided you weren't so fucked up you were driving on the sidewalk and giving whiney-ass sober citizens a reason to complain. On top of all that, he had a great sense of humor.
That's not to say he took shit off of anybody. He treated people the way they treated him.
Real Pancho was drinking at Sanchez's Cantina one night and shooting the shit with Tony, the owner. Things got a little spirited between a couple of the customers, and the shit spilled out into the street. Rip was either called or was just driving by and stopped to break it up. After he got everything settled and turned to walk back to his patrol car, one of the drunks slapped at the back of his head. Rip spun around and dropped him with a hard right. Real Pancho told us later, "That motherfucker went from Andy Taylor to Buford Pusser in 1.5 seconds flat, homie."
A bunch of us were sitting around drinking beer one Friday evening and his name came up, then everybody started throwing out theories on why he was so damned lenient, everything from compassion and understanding to being a local boy to whatever. George burped and said, "Y'all are overthinking this. Rip just hates paperwork with a passion, is all. He'd rather drive around in his patrol car than sitting in the station filling out arrest reports."
Another "Aw fuck" moment in time
A California mom planning a first birthday party for her baby girl accidentally invited all 487 contacts ever saved onto her cell phone.
Emily King, a 30-year-old teacher in San Jose, explained the mistake in a now-viral TikTok video while using Evite, the digital invitation service she was using on her phone, earlier this month.

"I want you to just take a second and think about everyone stored in your phone and how they're stored in your phone," King added. "And then imagine someone receiving an invitation ... 'Derek Eye Roll.' He received an invitation. 'Jess Hit Her Car In Parking Lot.'"

Military Could Hit Troops with Court-Martials for Refusing to Use Preferred Pronouns, Experts Say
The military could seek to formally punish service members for refusing to use another service member’s preferred pronouns under existing policy, according to military experts.
A 2020 Equal Opportunity law opened the door for commanders to subject someone who refuses to affirm a transgender servicemember’s so-called gender identity to the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) for charges related to harassment, Capt. Thomas Wheatley, an assistant professor at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. Such a move would likely infringe on a servicemember’s constitutional rights to uphold their conscience, but it might not prevent leaders from employing more subtle ways of disciplining service members.
Finger lickin' good
Federal Correctional Institute (FCI Dublin), otherwise nicknamed “Club Fed”, is famous for housing actresses like Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin, both involved in the college admissions scandal…this time the scandal surrounds the prison itself. The California-located facility is hurriedly closing up shop, and shutting its doors forever after one too many bouts of debauchery taking place on it’s grounds.
This closure comes after years of disturbing allegations: rampant sexual abuse by staff against female inmates, the overcrowded facility riddled with mold and asbestos, and a wholly new kind of sin…a bizarre system of bartering “favors” done for Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC).
Disband the Republican Party
The time to end the Republican party is now, right now. I don’t care that it’s right before an election. As if elections meant anything and if they don’t, it’s because of the Republican party. The Republican party refused to take election tampering seriously. They were the ones who refused to take these cases to court, despite the overwhelming evidence of election interference, looking the other way when presented with voter fraud. If the Republican party cannot defend the rights of its constituents, but merely act as adjunct Democrats, the party should be abolished and reconstituted with those who recognize the dangers of unlimited debt, runaway inflation and a world turning away from the dollar as a prime reserve currency and the medium for purchasing petroleum.
