Butchy The Vampire Stalker

A LESBIAN stalker convicted of harassing a "Vampire Queen" performance poet has lost her High Court bid for a judicial review...

And you thought this kind of thing only happened in San Francisco.

Turns out that Manchester is a hotbed of unrequited girl on undead girl action with added poetry and a touch of pantomine.

Rosie Lugosi, the Vampire Queen (real name Rosemary Garland) was stalked by Honor Donnelly at poetry meetings until the police stepped in. Donnelly then tried to get a job as a backstage dresser in a pantomime that Lugosi was starring in.

The judge ruled against Donnelly's request for a review after she was given a year's restraining order, a six-month rehabilitation order and ordered to pay £75 in costs.

Birmingham Riot

The more I hear about the Birmingham riot that happened on Saturday the more I'm reminded of the Bill Hick's routine about the meeting between British hooligans and LA gangs:

There was something in the paper yesterday: 'Some hooligans caused a rumpus.' Not quite the same as Crip and Blood... that's a little more cutting. Little more telling. Blood. Hooligan. Bloods versus the hooligans .
Pop!
'Hey man, what you doin' motherfucker. Come 'ere.'
'Got to catch us!'
'Yeah, I'm trying that now. (gunshots) There... catch your skinny pale ass. How's that?'
'Ow, he got me in the rumpus. The Blood hit me in the rumpus.'

The rumpus/riot in Birmingham resulted in one death , one burnt out car, some petrol bombs flying around and 12 reported gun shots. One police officer was shot in the leg... by a ball bearing.

In a Brass Eye style twist it seems that the original crime that provoked the people to take to the streets may not even have happened.

You Might Be A Police Dispatcher If...

In the spirit of job performance improvement (or message board masochism), a police radio dispatcher asks fellow law enforcement colleagues what bugs them most when dealing with the hammy operators. The gang at Officer.com gives a mouthful:

SO true. When I went out for lunch with one of the officers the other day, he made a comment that the eating habits in the radio room were awful. They were. They order pizza & chinese food every shift! And eat tons of it! I bring a lunch (so do other officers), and most work out in the gym during breaks.

Makes sense to me. When you have to sit on your ass all day and talk to people, it's best to provide it with the best cushion possible. I prefer burritos.

The Story Gets Worse

WEST NEW YORK, N.J., Oct. 11 - About a year ago, a girl was born in this working-class town and was promptly flung out of a third-floor window. She tumbled down a thin air shaft, naked, her umbilical cord still attached. Her head smashed into the concrete 31 feet below. She died instantly. And there she lay, unnamed, buried in a grave of garbage and cigarette packs.

September 13th and that little dead girl has a baby brother. He too is thrown from the same window, but survives despite a cracked skull and a couple of black eyes. When the cops find him they also find the body of his sister - by that time partially mummified.

The mother of the two children is 18, their father is 44 and also their grandfather.

Found via Mr Warren Ellis who also turned up the wonderful story of a surgeon still practicing in Aukland despite killing one patient and damaging three others. 'Damage' in this instance means that one woman only became aware of how wrong her surgery had gone when she passed excrement through her vagina.

White Supremacists Riot in Toledo, Ohio

That's the headline running on this ABC News report about the riot which tore threw downtown Toledo on Saturday. Judging by the headline, you might think that the white supremacists actually rioted. But then you'd be wrong. As the body of the story makes clear, the self-styled "American Nazis" were conducting a legal march when, about one-quarter of a mile along the way, gang members among the crowd of people protesting against the Nazi march began overturning cars, attacking stores and eventually torching a local drinking establishment.

Incidentally, the story appeared on the ABC News site yesterday. The headline remains uncorrected.

Cut Throat Killer Gets Life

It boggles the mind to think that this prostitute murdering goon was at large for three years before the police got their act together to arrest the moron. We have a sneaking suspicion that all that high tech crap from the CSI shows has yet to wing its way to Bolton in Northern England.

After arguing about the price for sex, Stuart Milsted battered five months pregnant Danielle Moorcroft with a brick and a bottle back in June 2002.

He then left his asthma inhaler at the scene which lead the police right to him - 28 months later.

Bright spark Milsted then eluded the police just hours after a DNA test, left a confession and then hid in a park.

Search and Rescue teams (WTF? I've been to Bolton - it's not the outback) subsequently spotted him, but Milsted had one last trick up his sleeve to escape the SLOW crawl of justice. He cut his own throat.

Alas he even made a hash of that and survived to be sentenced this week. Life here in the UK means he'll serve no less than 11 years.

That may seem a relatively light sentence, but frankly it's a miracle such a moron got this far and I predict death in a Darwin Awards style prison mishap before the end of the year.

Official Trouble In New York State's Oh No Counties

* An Onondaga County Sheriff's Deputy is accused of having sexual contact, with inmates he was in charge of. John Geruso, of Syracuse, is charged with official misconduct and sexual abuse. The sheriff's office says Geruso had inappropriate contact with two female inmates on four different occasions.

* A candidate for public office in Oneida County was arrested twice this weekend in less than three hours for driving drunk.

* The Oswego Police Chief has been placed on administrative leave after federal agents and state troopers raided his house and found stolen property, including snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles, and related records.

The Girls of the Border Patrol

Remember a few months aga when a few citizens tried to organize volunteer border patrols and President George W. Bush derided them as "vigilantes"?

Well thank goodness for the wisdom of our President. We all know how efficient the Federal government is at handling out-of-control situations involving lots of impoverished people. And, of course, patrolling the border is a job only for professionals.

Meet the young ladies known as Sexi Sabi and Gumby88 on Flickr. When they aren't striking provocative poses on the interwebs, they're agents of the Department of Homeland Security's Border Patrol. After spending altogether too much time reviewing Sabi and Gumby's body of work, I can safely say that if I were a border jumper, I'd totally agree with the President--it would be far better to have these girls chasing after me than a bunch of weekend-warrior "Minute Men."

Don't mess with Reese Witherspoon

The paparazzo who assaulted children, a mom and two Disney employees at Disney's California Adventure when she took her daughter Ava and friends to celebrate her sixth birthday at the theme park on September 2nd was charged on Friday with child endangerment and multiple counts of battery.

Photographer Todd K. Wallace allegedly hit a 5-year-old child with his camera, shoved another child out of the way, assaulted one of the children's mothers and two Disney employees who tried to prevent him from approaching Reese and her kids. He also became verbally abusive towards the group, using language inappropriate for children, though I'm not sure that necessarily breaks any laws.

The photographer is no stranger to violence and crime. According to state corrections records, he was convicted of and served four years in the pokie for second-degree burglary and receiving goods by fraud.

Last April, Reese filed a police report again paparazzi who allegedly boxed in her car and prevented from entering her property but prosecutors declined to file charges, based on lack of corroborating evidence through witnesses and videotapes. At the time, Reese told the New York Times, "There seems to be no repercussions for the behavior. It's starting to feel chaotic and lawless."

A Bid You Can't Refuse

Dwight, loyal reader of the Blottered Family, writes to tell us:

You too can live like a Mafia don by purchasing some of the stuff Joe Bonanno Sr.'s daughter-in-law is getting rid of on eBay. (All the Bonanno items have his name in the title.) Particularly interesting: The Don was an Asimov fan? I have my eye on this: Adds a touch of class to those barbecues, yes?

"You Forgot Ugly, Lazy, And Disrespectful..."

Crackhead's paternity suit against actor Wesley Snipes dismissed

In the crazy world of lawsuits, it's good to see one with a happy ending.

Back in 2002, a Indiana woman name Lanise Petits accused actor Wesley Snipes of neglecting his parental responsibilities (aka child support) for her three year old son who she claimed he fathered after a tryst in a Chicago crackhouse in 2000. Snipes denied ever having met the woman, let alone providing the genetic material for this child, and refused to submit to a DNA test when Petits took him to court to try to prove his paternity.

After twice refusing to submit to the test, a warrant was issued by a New York Family Court for his arrest but police never enforced it. Snipes countered by suing the city and Petits in order to have the warrant invalidated and claimed that the allegations violated his civil rights. He alleged that Petits was "obviously delusional" on top of being a crackhead (which typically go together like peanut butter and chocolate) . Petits' case was not strengthened by the fact that she had waged similar "fantastical" claims against Bill Clinton, Oprah Winfrey and Prince. However, a US District judge tossed the case out saying that it was a state matter, rather than a federal one. The judge did suggest, however, that Petits should pursue the DNA test.

When it was later revealed that another man was the true baby daddy, the city moved to drop Petits' suit against Snipes. Snipes' lawyer said that they were happy the suit was dismissed but said that they will still proceed with a civil suit against Petits for the embarrassment it has caused Snipes. The next hearing is scheduled for November in the US Court of Appeals.

Snipes is the undisputed father of a son, Jelani Asar, born in 1988, and a daughter, Iset, born in 2001, from two previous relationships.
