Golfer Beats Man Unconscious, Causing Brain Damage After Etiquette Dispute

Story out of Carrollton, Texas:

A 42-year-old man has been accused of striking another man in the head and back with a golf club at Indian Creek Golf Course in Carrollton.

Michael Plumlee of Denton was one of four men putting on the 16th hole about 4 p.m. when another group of men hit a golf ball onto their green, Jolene DeVito, a Carrollton police spokeswoman, said in an email.

Plumlee, 27, threw the ball off the green, and the second group of men approached.

Witnesses told police that a man in the second group, 42-year-old Kevin Keo Sivilay of Richardson, hit Plumlee in the back of the head with a golf club, DeVito said.

The force knocked Plumlee to the ground, where he may have been briefly unconscious.

Sivilay then is alleged to have hit Plumlee once or twice in the back with the club while he was still on the ground.

Plumlee sustained a brain injury and broke several ribs.

Sivilay was arrested and has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Cont.

After Threatening Drunk Drivers With Nickleback, Const. Issues Apology To Band

They are now working on a new campaign punishment. May I suggest Dwight Yoakam? 

Story out of Kensington, Prince Edward Island:

A Kensington, P.E.I., police officer has apologized for "bullying" Nickelback and removed a Facebook post he says drew a reaction far beyond his expectations.

Last week, Const. Robb Hartlen posted on the police Facebook site that he would force arrested drivers to listen to Nickelback's 2001 album Silver Side Up as a punishment for drinking and driving. It was just his way of using humour to spread an important message, he said.

On Friday, Hartlen removed the post and in a new Facebook post wrote a public apology to Nickelback.

Hartlen said the message of "Don't drink and drive" began to take a backseat to the "bashing of the band."

"I didn't want to turn this into an anti-Nickelback," he told CBC Friday night. "The more I thought about it and the more I saw the comments and the more I saw people sort of jumping on the 'We love and we love to hate Nickelback' bandwagon, I was like, 'I think we're losing the message here' and I'm sort of feeling a little bad about what was going on."

In his new Facebook post, Hartlen said that as a police officer, he was sorry for sending the wrong message to children. Cont.

Miss Butt - Mother Angry After Being Told Repeatedly Her Daughter Won't Stop Laughing At Teacher's Name

Story out of London, England:

A giggly girl’s fits of laughter at her teacher’s name — Miss Butt — forced her mom to be called in for an emergency meeting at the school.

Priscilla Terumalai of London had already been informed by her daughter Annalise, 7, that she couldn’t stop laughing when she heard the teacher’s name. But the mother-of-two brushed it off, the Daily Mail reports.

At a meeting with Miss Butt, the teacher seemed to dismiss the gaiety her name inspired.

However, several days later, Terumalai was called to a meeting with school brass to answer for the child’s laughter.

“When I received a call from the school, I was appalled at how pathetic and petty it was,” Terumalai told the Mail. “I wasn’t making fun of her name at all. I wasn’t happy about being reported.”

Now, Terumalai wants Annalise to be moved to another class because of the bad feelings. The school isn’t budging, though.

“I felt intimidated in the meeting and they made me feel like I was in the wrong. The school over-reacted and it made me feel really angry,” she said. “It is not good enough. I felt I was treated unfairly because I am putting my trust in the teacher and I am not comfortable with my daughter being in her class now.” Cont.

85-Year-Old Plays Dead As Thieves Steal Thousands Of Dollars Meant For Ill Wife

Story out of New York City, New York:

A Brooklyn man played dead after masked men barged into his home and robbed him.

Around 2 p.m. Tuesday, 85-year-old Pablo Roldan was napping inside his Huron Street home in the Greenpoint section of Brooklyn, when he awoke to a knock on the door.

“They push in, and choke me out,” he told Bauman.

Three men dressed in black with hoods covering their faces pushing him into the apartment, demanding money, he said.

“‘Where is the money?’ ‘What money? I got no money. I got some money, but it’s in the bank,'” he reenacted.

But he did have money — $36,000 hidden in a closet that he feared they would find.

One man held him down on the couch while the other two ransacked the apartment, he said.

To save himself, Roldan played dead as the men tore through his home looking for cash.

Eventually, the masked thieves found his cash in a back bedroom, where his sick wife was asleep. The money was for her medical bills.

How much they made off with is still unclear. Investigators said some of the cash was left behind, but thousands were missing. Cont. (Video/Autoplay)

Prison Guard On Administrative Leave After Pepper Spraying Inmate's Genitals

Story out of Scranton, Pennsylvania:

Investigators filed simple assault and harassment charges against a Lackawanna County prison guard accused of spraying an inmate’s genitals with pepper spray.

Sgt. Scott Blume, 46, of Dunmore, was arraigned Wednesday in connection with an altercation with Damian Kellogg on Sept. 24. The incident did not come to light until Oct. 18, after Mr. Kellogg wrote to Judge Vito Geroulo to complain, according to members of the inmate’s family. Sgt. Blume is on paid administrative leave from the prison.

According to an arrest affidavit, the sergeant escorted Mr. Kellogg, who appeared to be intoxicated, to the restricted housing unit after he issued him a misconduct for having “hooch,” an alcoholic liquid made from fruit, inside the cell he shared with another inmate.

Sgt. Blume then left the cage. Mr. Kellogg refused to put on the new uniform and continued to argue with Sgt. Blume. That led Sgt. Blume to twice spray Mr. Kellogg through the “wicket,” a slot in the cell door used to pass food and other items to inmates, to get him to comply. Mr. Kellogg was then handcuffed and escorted to the restricted unit without further incident.

The affidavit does not identify the part of Mr. Kellogg’s body that was sprayed. In his letter to Judge Geroulo, a copy of which was obtained by The Times-Tribune, Mr. Kellogg said he was sprayed in the groin area while naked, causing him extreme pain.

Sgt. Blume, who has been employed at the prison since 2002, faces a disciplinary hearing that will determine whether he will remain on paid leave or be fired, said Donald Frederickson, general counsel for the county. Cont.

Axl Rose Lets Fans In Mexico Take Out Their Frustrations On Trump Pinata At Concert

                  

Story out of Mexico City, Mexico:

Guns N’ Roses‘ concert in Mexico City last night included a special guest … sort of. The band brought out a Donald Trump pinata onstage for fans to whack.

The show was the last in the group’s Latin America leg of its Not in This Lifetime Tour, so the band was in a somewhat playful mood. It didn’t hurt that the pinata gave many frustrated Mexican fans the opportunity to smack around one of the most reviled men in that region.

“Let’s bring in some people,” Axl Rose says in a video filmed by fans. “And give them a f—ing stick. I just want you to express yourself, however you feel.” After a fan starts to hit the pinata, Rose says, “He’s got it. Go ahead.”

Since he won the election last month, Trump hasn’t said much about the wall. But Mexico has insisted several times that it won’t pay for the wall if he plans to fulfill his campaign promise.

Trump also referred to Mexicans and Mexican-Americans as rapists and criminals. So there was plenty of aggression for the country’s Guns N’ Roses fans to work out onstage last night.

Rose is also no fan of the incoming president. Two weeks ago, he tweeted, “Do you ever stop whining? An apology? Seriously?! You won, this is the job, Get on with it or get out of the kitchen” in response to Trump’s demand of an apology from the cast of Broadway’s Hamilton, who called out Trump’s vice president-elect, Mike Pence, as he was leaving a performance. Cont.

Jakarta Police Make Murder Suspect Wear Upside Down Darth Vader Mask

Story out of Jakarta, Indonesia:

A 17-year-old, identified by his initial B, was recently arrested in Cipayung, East Jakarta for allegedly taking part in the violent activities of a teenage motorcycle gang that resulted in the death of another 17-year-old, RH.

Jakarta Metro Police Spokesman Argo Yuwono said that B was a new recruit to the gang, and he was made to assault other teenagers in the area as an initiation rite.

The police arrested B on November 22 on suspicion that he was one of several gang members who brutally attacked RH, who eventually died because of his injuries.

Despite the horrific nature of this story, netizens were quick to point out an inappropriate Star Wars Easter egg when B was photographed during a police press conference on Sunday.

It’s common for crime suspects to wear masks when the police parade them in front of the media in Indonesia, but B’s mask was highly irregular, as he appears to be wearing an upside down Darth Vader mask.

We’re not sure why the police made him wear a Darth Vader mask, other than possibly trying to convey that B had been successfully lured to the dark side. Cont.

Amazon Employee Jumps Off 12-Story Building After Being Put In "Improvement Plan"

With Scientology back in the news, Amazon sounds like a cult. But instead of Thetans, it's Bezos.

Story out of Seattle, Washington:

An Amazon.com Inc. employee was injured when he leaped off a building at the company’s Seattle headquarters in what police characterized as a suicide attempt.

The man, who wasn’t identified by authorities, sent an e-mail visible to hundreds of co-workers, including Chief Executive Officer Jeff Bezos, before the incident occurred, according to a person familiar with the matter. The man survived the fall from Amazon’s 12-story Apollo building at about 8:45 a.m. local time Monday and was taken to a Seattle hospital, police said.

The man had recently put in a request to transfer to a different department, but was placed on an employee improvement plan, a step that can lead to termination if performance isn’t improved, said the person, who asked not to be identified discussing company personnel matters. More than 20,000 people work in multiple buildings at Amazon’s headquarters.

In the email, the man expressed criticism of how the company handled his transfer request, and he hinted that he might harm himself, according to the person.

The online retailer has taken steps to soften its image as a difficult employer since a New York Times story last year portrayed the company as a bruising workplace where employees were encouraged to take advantage of one another to get ahead. Amazon disputed the characterization of the company. Cont.

Watch Bull Attack SUV During Bull Run In Spain

                  

I'm on the bull's side, fuck that SUV.

Story out of Guadalajara, Spain:

This is the moment a rampaging bull nearly tipped over a four-wheel drive with its horns as scared passengers inside took cover.

The hulking beast can be seen running up a street and towards the car which was parked on the side of the road at a Spanish bull festival in the province of Guadalajara.

The fearsome bull then began its attack on the vehicle by planting one of its horns on the right side of the car.

The relentless bovine stabbed the car so deeply that liquid from the engine can be seen flushing out from above the wheel.

After around 20 seconds of goring the car and terrifying the people inside, who clambered to the back of the vehicle during the onslaught, the bull tired.

But instead of taking a few moments to catch its breath it started running towards scores of revelers in the road who were taunting the bull to chase them.

Running of the bulls festivals are common in Spain and Portugal and involve daredevils trying to evade cattle after they have been let loose on the street. Cont.

'Nutzy' - Cafe In Trouble For Selling Nazi Themed Smoothie

Can we all just stop and appreciate the name of the store?

Story out of London, England:

A cafe in East London has apologised after a member of the public spotted that it appeared to be  stocking a Nazi-themed smoothie - complete with swastika on the label.

After remonstrating with staff, the customer contacted the Campaign Against Antisemitism, telling them: “I entered the coffee shop Nin Com Soup in Old Street Tube Station to get a drink. In their fridge they had various smoothies, each with a big number on them to differentiate the flavours. One drink didn’t have a number but a large swastika, and the label said it was called ‘Nutzy’. I went to the staff at the counter to discuss this and they called their manager.

“He explained that it was an inverted swastika which was a Hindu symbol of health and prosperity, which is indeed right but the swastika was not inverted, and the Hindu sign includes dots within the symbol. When I asked about the name of the drink, he said it was a play on ‘having the nuts’, meaning ‘having the courage’ and was a pun as the drink contains nuts.

"I told him how offensive that was for certain people. He asked why I would find that so offensive, to which I responded that I lost my family to the Nazi regime and that despite the Hindu use of the symbol, this along with the name of the drink was extremely offensive. He said that London is a free city.

Nincomsoup issued an apology on its website, stating that a 'rogue employee' had been responsible. Cont.

CVS Employees Lock Themselves In Safe Room After Black Man Asks For Cheese

This is such a fucked up story, I have to tell a white person joke:

Why can't white people jump?  Inbreeding weakens the knees.

Story out of Richmond, Virginia:

What began as a spontaneous trip to the store ended up being one of the most bizarre experiences of Ricky Berry’s life.

Berry and his roommate said they walked into the CVS in Carytown and asked an employee if they sold sliced cheese. The worker kindly replied that they did not.

A few minutes later, the employee — all of the store employees, in fact — were nowhere to be found. Berry and his roommate, Philip Blackwell, said they were in the store with another customer for more than 30 minutes alone before an officer with the Richmond Police Department showed up.

As for the third customer who was as confused as the two roommates, Berry said, “he was in the store before we were actually. He had a bad tooth, all he wanted was some Orajel. That’s all he needed.”

“We were walking around trying to find an employee, and the cop himself ended up opening up the emergency door, which set the alarm off,” Berry explained. “A couple of minutes later, he got the call from the alarm company asking what was going on.”

So the officer joined in on the search for the missing employees. Berry recorded a video on his Snapchat account of what happened next.

“He was laughing with us because, like, this is how weird, apocalyptic movies start,” Berry said.

Eventually, the employees were found in the back of the store hiding in a locked room. After making a few calls, the officer told the customers they had to leave.

In one of the videos he recorded, Berry said, “We’re being kicked out because they were scared of us and hiding.”

Berry said the officer was kind and was just doing what he was told to do.

Multiple attempts to contact the store manager were denied, although a CVS spokesperson apologized and said the employee who called the police will be interviewed and possibly retrained. Cont.

In February 2015, Hemmat quite literally went dumpster diving at a local business, telling the enraged business owner, “We’re looking at all the receipts you threw away,” when confronted.

“I’ll call the sheriff right now,” the man says.

Hemmat promptly responds, “You probably should. They asked you not to throw these receipts away.”

Apparently, the business owner in that story would go on to make a threat against Hemmat’s life so credible that the man’s therapist broke HIPPA laws to inform Hemmat directly. And now, Hemmat has left Fox 31 abruptly and is now telling her story, claiming the station did not do enough to protect her life.

She details the sense of panic that overcame her when the therapist informed her of the business owner’s threats:

"The psychiatrist thought the threat was so credible, she broke HPPA laws (the laws that protect medical records of psychos, such as the theater shooter–James Holmes) to warn me. She informed me he was on a “72 hour mental hold” but because it was 4th of July weekend, (2015) he would likely be released before then. She then asked me if I had somewhere else I could go because he knew where I lived and of course, where I worked. I remember the chill than ran from the top of my head to the soles of my feet. Of course I had nowhere to go! I have 2 children, then 1 and 3, I couldn’t just leave on a whim –where would I go?"

Hemmat alleges that her employers at Fox 31 “downplayed” the threats. Despite her years of outstanding work, she acknowledges that things have changed severely, further justifying her move. “Society has changed. People have changed. My physical and mental health were unraveling. As soon as that ratings period ended I took an unpaid leave of absence, and in August I asked to be let out of my contract. My boss sent out a note to the staff that failed to acknowledge my 15 years of service at KDVR, the 6 Emmy awards I had won for the station or the fact that I had literally put my life on the line. It just said ‘Heidi is no longer an employee of FOX 31.'” Cont.

Mother Tries To 'Help' Son With Cancer By Injecting Feces Into IV

Story out of Indianapolis, Indiana:

An Indiana mother is accused of injecting feces into her son’s IV bag while he was undergoing cancer treatments at Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis.

Tiffany Alberts, 41, of Wolcott, Indiana, is charged with six counts of aggravated battery and one count of neglect of a dependent resulting in serious bodily injury.

Alberts’ 15-year-old son was being treated for cancer, and he had several unexplainable infections that were delaying treatment. Staff placed video surveillance in his room, and the video showed Alberts injecting an unknown substance into his IV bag with a syringe several times, court documents say.

Staff told police that Alberts’ son received his first round of chemotherapy for leukemia in September and went home. But several days later he returned to the hospital because he had a fever and diarrhea and was vomiting. The staff said his symptoms haven’t improved. He’s required several surgeries to changes his central venous line due to concern for infection, and he spent 18 days in the ICU.

Investigators questioned Alberts, and at first, she said she injected water into her son’s IV bag to “flush the line” because the “medicine that was given to him burned.” However, she later allegedly confessed that she injected fecal matter into the bag on multiple occasions. She says she did it to get her son moved to another unit at Riley that had better treatment, according to court documents.

The boy’s health improved once Alberts was removed from the hospital room, doctors said, but they worry they might have missed the time frame to keep his leukemia in remission. Cont.

Woman Left Permanently Disfigured After Childhood Friend Slashes Her Face With Wine Glass For Smiling

Story out of Sheffield, England:

A 25-year-old was left scarred for life when she was glassed by a woman because she smiled at her.

Rosie Skitt was attacked by 20-year-old Charlotte Green who accused the victim of looking at her in a 'sarcastic way.'

But Rosie said she recognised her attacker from her sister's football team when they were younger, and that she smiled across the bar 'to say hello.'

A court heard that Green then confronted sales administrator Rosie, asking 'do you have a problem with me?' before striking her with the wine glass.

Rosie, who needs further operations on her face, faced her attacker in court and told the hearing how she still suffers flashbacks and has to wear special camouflage make-up to conceal her scars.

Green, of Sheffield, initially pleaded not guilty to GBH with intent, which can carry a life sentence and was due to stand trial, but the prosecution accepted a lesser charge of GBH, which she admitted.

Dermot Hughes, representing the attacker, said she was remorseful and had found it difficult to come to terms with what she had done. Cont.

Story out of Charleston, West Virginia:

A remorseless white man accused of shooting an unarmed black teenager to death in Charleston, West Virginia, after they bumped into each other Monday evening confessed and called his victim a “piece of trash,” police said.

Man Found Guilty After Punching 5-Month-Old In Face

Story out of Manchester, England:

Baby Elsie Rose was hit in the face at a Tesco store on Altrincham Road in Baguley, Manchester, on 5 September.

David Hardy, 64, of Longfield Road in Baguley, denied assault and told Manchester and Salford Magistrates' Court he thought the baby was a doll and it was a "dreadful mistake".

He was fined £900 and ordered to pay £500 costs and £100 compensation.

Elsie Rose was in a car seat placed in a shopping trolley next to her older sister when she was attacked.

Her mother Amy Ducker told the court she was left "absolutely distraught" by the incident, which happened after she had bumped into a neighbour who worked at the supermarket.

The neighbour had called her colleague, Hardy's wife, over to look at the "beautiful baby", she said.

She told the hearing Hardy had then approached and, without saying a word to her, punched the baby in the head.

The five-day-old child was taken to hospital and monitored overnight but was later discharged.

Finding him guilty, District Judge Sam Goozee dismissed Hardy's claim that he thought the child was a doll as "implausible." Cont.

Vietnam Vet Sets Himself On Fire Over Trump Argument

                  

Story out of Akron, Ohio

A Vietnam veteran in Akron, Ohio, set himself on fire Saturday after becoming frustrated with locals in a coffee shop for not protesting President-elect Donald Trump vehemently enough, ABC 5 News Cleveland reports. The unnamed 69-year-old walked into Angel Falls Coffee around 9:15 a.m. and began engaging with customers about the recent protests. While about 300 marched against Trump recently in the nearby city of Cleveland, and thousands nationwide, the vet thought the demonstrations should be larger. “He seemed to be pro-rally, against Trump and he talked to my customers about how people needed to protest more against Trump,” Angel Falls Coffee shop owner Jim King told ABC News 5 Cleveland.

Dressed in a U.S. Marine Corps uniform and becoming upset, the man then left the coffee shop and handed a passerby his phone requesting they begin recording. Things turned gruesome – the vet then grabbed a can of gasoline from his car, doused himself in it, and set himself on fire. While the passerby didn’t take the video, witnesses were able to put out the flames with a fire extinguisher. “He was curled in a fetal position, perfectly still except for some hand movement and he was completely covered in ash,” said King.

The vet was taken to a nearby hospital where he is currently being treated in the burn unit. He is expected to survive. Cont.

'Time For A Tree And A Rope' - Texas Judge In Trouble For Racist Remarks

Story out of Burnet County, Texas:

The top elected official in Burnet County commented on Facebook that it is "time for a tree and a rope" in a post regarding the arrest of the man suspected of killing San Antonio police Det. Benjamin Marconi this weekend, according to a screenshot of the Facebook post.

The post is no longer on County Judge James Oakley's Facebook page, but a screenshot shows that the comment was posted from his personal Facebook account. Oakley did not immediately respond to requests for comment via Facebook and email Tuesday evening.

The blog PEC Truthwatch, run by Larry Landaker, who previously served on the Pedernales Electric Cooperative's board, blogged about Oakley's "tree and a rope" comment. Based on the time stamps in the image, the blog seems to use the same screenshot that Walker took.

"What Mr. Oakley suggested was racist," the blog post read. "A sitting County Judge in Texas has suggested that a black man accused of a crime ... should be lynched. ... There is no place on the PEC board of directors for an open racist. This is not political correctness. It is racism in its rawest form." Cont.

Charred bones, including a human skull, were found in the remote area, along with burned pieces of wood. The Utah State Medical Examiner's Office identified Nay through dental records and concluded he had suffered blunt force injuries, as well as stab wounds. His body was in a shallow grave. Cont.
