YouTube – our friend in helping catch stupid criminals
June 13th, 2008
I know some people who may not be quite as hip to the whole Internet generation seem to think that YouTube and similar sites are to blame for people taping themselves doing stupid things and then posting them to the sites. But I’m actually thankful to have sites like YouTube. Without them people would just commit crimes and then possibly get away with it.
Thanks to YouTube and the like we can now catch these idiots. Like the FL kids (sigh … another example of how whacked out my home-state is) who were just ordered to post an apology on YouTube for posting a video of themselves throwing a drink at the Taco Bell drive-thru clerk. A short 10-12 years ago when I was young and stupid I knew people who did similar stupid acts and none of them were ever punished for it. The only way they would get caught was to do the crime right in front of a cop. Now they are essentially providing the police all the evidence they need to catch them. The cops just sit back and reel them in.
Hulk Hogan’s yellow Lamborghini catches fire on Miami street
September 12th, 2006
Hulk Hogan's yellow lamborghini caught fire on Saturday on the streets of Miami. Nick Hogan, Hulk's son, was driving the car and his mother Linda was in the passenger seat. Nick is still underage and the name of the driver wasn't officially released since the law prohibits the release of underage names. Police didn't report any injuries.
More photos are available with the story on the Miami Herald site.
Face off: baseball bat vs. weed whacker vs. hammer
August 24th, 2006
Ah, you gotta love Floridians and their violent ways.
On Tuesday, three lawn workers in Florida got into a fight. But they didn’t go into the scrum empty-handed. One grabbed a baseball bat, the other picked up a weed whacker (”to defend himself”) and a third ran in to break up the fight wielding a hammer.
My favorite part of the story: “Information on his legal representation was not available Thursday.”
Yeah, I’m going to go out on a limb and say he’s probably gonna be relying on the court-appointed counsel.
