BATH SALTS MAN BINGS 77-YEAR-OLD WOMAN ACROSS THE HEAD WITH SHOVEL FOR SCOLDING HIM

Glendale, CA. police were called to investigate an attack on a woman Thursday afternoon. It all began when 20-year-old Robert White was outside swinging a shovel at some birds he apparently didn't want around him. His elderly neighbor who was watching from nearby scolded him, telling him to stop. Little did she know, White had just drank a soda laced with bath salts, and he didn't take the words of advice too kindly.

According to another neighbor, White said to the 77-year-old, "I hate you, and I want to kill you today". He then went over to the woman and binged her with the shovel across her head, knocking her down.

For the record, no he DID NOT go to the internet and put her name in the Bing search bar while holding a shovel near her head. I mean he literally took the shovel and BINGED her across the head.

He ran to his apartment and hid out for about an hour until police entered with a key. The belligerent White shouted, cursed, broke glass, and eventually had to be subdued with rubber bullets and a taser.

While strapped down and being wheeled away, White told onlookers that he "was an alien", that because of his alien status he could "talk to Jesus", and that God loves them all.

This is just another chapter in the Bath Salts saga. Earlier this year, we wrote about the man from Maryland who killed his roommate, ate his heart and brain. There was the Louisiana man who attacked his elderly aunt, bit his ex-wife's husband's face off, and robbed his friend. The naked New York mom who punched and choked her 3-year-old in the parking lot of their apartment complex and died from being tasered. And we can't forget the infamous Miami naked zombie face-eater, who had to be shot 6 times and killed before he stopped eating his victim.

DUMB LAWS OF AMERICA: CALIFORNIA

#insaneasylumblog - Throughout history there have been laws passed and laws removed from the books. Depending on what era you grew up in, I'm sure all the laws made sense at that time. As time has progressed, some of the laws that could be deemed crazy, weird or just plain stupid have managed to slip through the filter and remain intact. In this series, we will be taking a look at dumb laws that are still on books in these here United States. Fifth in the series... California.

1. In Chico, a $500 fine will be given to anyone who detonates a nuclear device within city limits. Considering the fact that there may not be anyone left, they may want to re-think this one.

2. In San Francisco, it is illegal to use used underwear to wipe off cars in a car wash. Yeah, I mean you wouldn't want to be riding around with Dad's boo-boo stains all on your windshield and what-not.

3. In Baldwin Park, no one is allowed to ride a bicycle in a swimming pool. Unless their name is Jesus, then he can walk on the water too.

4. In Palm Springs, it is illegal to walk a camel down Palm Canyon Drive between the hours of 4:00 and 6:00 p.m.. Ladies, it is legal however, to walk your camel toe down Palm Canyon Drive after 4:00 and 6:00 p.m..

5. In Los Angeles, it is illegal to cry on the witness stand. Yeah, you'd probably end up looking like a bitch like this guy anyway...

6. It is illegal to have caller ID. Whoa, you mean to tell me that I can live in Cali, prank call restaurants and never expect a call back? I am so there!

7. It is illegal to sell a piece of gold without teeth marks in it. So, for all of you gangsta rappers going broke, there is still hope.

8. It is illegal for a man to beat his wife with a belt or strap wider than 2", unless the wife consents to it. Well, California is just fullof freaks, huh?

9. It is illegal to eat an orange in your tub. Could you imagine juice squirting in your eye, flinching, hitting your head on the side of the tub knocking yourself unconscious and drowning? Hey, it could happen. Safety first people!

10. In Long Beach, nothings allowed in the garage besides a car. Unless you're my grandmother. Then you'd have my dead grandfather's clothing she's been promising to give to Goodwill for the past four years, old school books my mother and her siblings had back in the 60's and that 8-track tape player with cassettes that she swears still works.

11. Molesting butterflies can result in a $500 fine. Does this qualify?

12. Person's classified as "ugly" may not walk down any street. Is Flava Flav still living in Los Angeles? Somebody better put him in the know quickly. I'm just saying...

13. Sunshine is guaranteed to the masses. So, if you have a cloudy day in the neighborhood, do you report it and they fine God? I don't get it.

14. It is illegal to serve a gay person alcohol. Come on... The worst that could happen is they'd sashay all over your ass while giving you three snaps up in a circle. Fiercely!


15. It is illegal to pile horse manure more than six feet high on a street corner. Really. Who wants to live in a shitty neighborhood anyway?


Okay, friends... There you have it. Fifteen of the dumbest laws from California. Do you know of any more? Share them here, I'd love to read them!

LUIS AGUILAR LITERALLY BITES OFF AND CHEWS EYEBROW OF MAN HE WAS FIGHTING

It's part of human nature to fight.  And with the WWE, UFC, Boxing and of course, Martial Arts movies at our disposal, people visualize themselves using those moves almost every day. With that in mind, as a kid I had this set of rules that I adhered to in case I had to fight. They don't apply now, but back then I had these five rules:

1. NO NUTS

2. NO TALKING ABOUT MAMAS

3. NO CHOKING

4. NO WEAPONS

5. NO BITING

The last one is almost a given because boys generally don't bite, and boys who don't bite turn into men who don't bite. Based on that information and what happened over the weekend, Luis Aguilar was biter as a kid.

Police in Buena Park, CA. aren't saying exactly how or why, but a fight broke out in the driveway of a house that was having a party. Aguilar went, as the young punks say nowadays, ham. When I first thought about this guy going ham, I was thinking maybe they mean ham sandwich, which is generally a delicious snack, as well as a cool thing to say.

"Yeah, I went 'ham sandwich' on your Mom last night. It was awesome."

Then I was thinking that ham could mean like, mayhem. In which case the young punks would be making a clever play on the word mayhem, comparing how crazy they are to a ham sandwich. I love that assumption. All I know is that "ham" means crazy, and this Luis Aguilar was all that.

During the fight, Aguilar punched, mounted, and bit off his opponent's eyebrow, chewing it up, then spitting it out. According to officers, the 41-year-old unnamed guy tried to save the chewed up piece of flesh, but it was so torn up that doctors were unable to reattach it.  It was described as a chunk containing the victim's right eyebrow the size of an egg.

I said, "A chunk of eyebrow meat about the size of an egg".

Aguilar said he didn't even remember biting off the eyebrow meat, and he even said his actions were in self-defense. Aguilar was arrested on suspicion of felony mayhem, and was being detained on an immigration hold because he's an "undocumented alien".

WOMAN THROWS 7-MONTH-OLD OFF TOP OF PARKING GARAGE BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T WANT IMPERFECT BABY

Sonia Hermosillo's son, Noe, was born with Plagiocephaly - a condition in which one side of a baby's head is flattened, and Congenital Muscular Torticollis - a twisting of neck muscles. Suffering from postpartum depression and never accepting the boy as normal, the 31-year old from La Habra, CA. drove to the top of the Children's Hospital in Orange County's parking structure.  She then took off his protective helmet and tossed him off the edge 40 feet below.

The boy survived the fall and was taken to UC Irvine Medical Center in Orange, but he died two days later. Hermosillo is being held in jail under suicide watch and undergoing a psychiatric evaluations.

Although her bail was set at $1 million, Hermosillo is believed to be an illegal immigrant, so she's subject to an immigration hold. On top of the murder charge she's facing, Hermosillo is also charged with assault on a child with force likely to produce great bodily injury resulting in death and faces up to 25 years to life in prison if convicted.

Her husband, Noe Medina Sr. confirmed that his wife suffered from postpartum depression and had rejected the baby because of his medical condition.


"She didn't know what she was doing. Please don't judge her."

Postpartum depression is a likely defense, and I'm no lawyer, but it's not like she did this at home. She drove the baby to a specific location and took his helmet off before dropping him. To me, that shows premeditation.

MAN ATTEMPTS TO REMOVE HERNIA WITH BUTTER KNIFE

Just when I thought trying to remove your sons cast with a circular saw to prevent seeing a doctor was over the top, this happens.  A SoCal man stuck a butter knife into his stomach attempting to remove a hernia, according to Sgt. Tom Lorenz. The wife of a 63-year-old Glendale man whose name wasn't released called 911 and told the emergency operator her husband was using a knife to remove a protruding hernia, "She said he had impaled himself with a knife."

A hernia occurs when all or part of an organ or fatty tissue squeezes through a hole or a weak spot in a surrounding muscle or connective tissue.  Have you ever had hernia surgery? Have you ever seen one performed? If not, click right here for a sec.  You'll thank me later.

Police found the man naked on a patio chair outside his apartment with a butter knife sticking out of his stomach.  His wife told them that he was upset with the hernia and wanted it out. While waiting for paramedics he removed the knife and cauterized the wound with a cigarette.

He was placed on psychiatric hold under the state Welfare and Institutions Code. "You just never know what to expect," said Lorenz. "I've seen self-mutilation, but not a maneuver like this. What he was thinking, I don't know. I don't know if he was cauterizing the wound. He wasn't screaming or showing any signs of pain."

MAN GETS 4 YEARS FOR STALKING, FALSE IMPERSONATION ON FACEBOOK

George Bronk was sentenced to over four years in prison after pleading guilty to charges that include possession of child pornography, computer intrusion, and false impersonation. The 24-year-old lived in Citrus Heights, CA while caring for his parents back in December 2009. That's when he began using Facebook for the purpose of taking over email accounts. This lasted until September 2010.

Bronk would look for email addresses and gather enough personal information from posts to get past basic security questions. After he gained access and changed passwords, Bronk searched their folders for skin pics or videos then sent them to people on their contact list, prosecutors said.  According to records, women in 17 states, the District of Columbia and England were victimized. He even somehow got one woman to send him more hard-core pics by threatening to further share the pictures he already had.

As part of an offered deal in seeking a lighter sentence, Bronk's parents offered to take away his internet access as a condition of releasing him back to their custody. Gotta love Mom and Dad.

“This case serves as a stark example of what occurs in so-called cyberspace. It has very real consequences,” Sacramento County Superior Court Judge Lawrence Brown said. “The intrusion of one’s profile is no different than intruding one’s home.”

Judge Brown sentenced him to four years in state prison for the charges related to the Facebook and email offenses, and added eight more months for charges related to child pornography. His attorney, Monica Lynch, said her client took responsibility for his actions and showed remorse. She tried to get him one year in the local jail with probation, or two years in state prison with no probation.

Bronk had hoped to become a paramedic but because of the child pornography that he stole, he will have to register as a sex offender, and will be ineligible. I wonder if the person he got it from will ever be charged for having it in their possession. I also wonder if the people on Facebook who are posing as others could get in trouble if I report them. It would be quite the surprise since they don't know that I know what they're doing.

WOMAN MICROWAVES 6-WEEK-OLD DAUGHTER TO DEATH

It's like shark week all of a sudden. These incidents concerning people killing children are piling up in staggering increments. This time, a Sacramento mother was arrested after an investigation found that her baby, six-week-old Mirabelle Thao-Lo, likely died from burns suffered in a microwave oven. Microwave oven.


Stop and think about this for a minute. A woman puts a six-week-old baby in a microwave. 45 days old. 

29-year-old Ka Yang initially claimed her daughter's death was caused by a seizure, but medical experts say the nature of the baby's injuries were severe, and that a microwave had to be the cause of the injuries.  The only thing they couldn't figure out is how long she'd been in the microwave cooking. "She had some really deep tissue burns, "Sacramento County coroner's office said. "It was probably the worst case I've ever seen."


The murder actually happened in March, but it took a few months for police to find out the origin of the fourth-degree burns and death.  Officer Laura Peck said it took so long to make an arrest because investigators had to look for other cases involving similar injuries. There were only three other cases:  China Arnold of Dayton, Ohio microwaved her 28-day-old daughter, Paris Talley in 2005. Last month, she was sentenced to life with no parole.

Joshua Mauldin of Galveston, Texas put his  2-month-old daughter in a microwave oven in 2008. She survived, but suffered second and third-degree burns to her left ear, cheek, hand and shoulder. Part of her ear had to be amputated, and she needed skin grafts. He was sentenced to 25 years in prison.
And finally, Elizabeth Renee Otte of Virginia microwaved her month-old son in 1999.  She claimed she had no memory of the incident. Experts testified that Otte had epilepsy and that her seizures were followed by blackouts. I don't know what that has to do with microwaving your kid, but I'm not a lawyer - or doctor. She was sentenced to five years in prison.
Yang's three other children, all boys, were taken from the home the day their sister was found dead, March 17. It's never good to hear about someone's child being taken from them, but at least we won't have to worry about then being harmed by her. Yang is being charged with murderand assault resulting in the death of a child under 8, and is being held without bail at the Sacramento County jail.


I don't know if she's mentally challenged or not, but I hope she isn't set free because her lawyer decided to play the "mental card".  If she legitimately has a problem, California should help her and I would not recommend military or jail. 


With that being said, should mentally challenged people be allowed to have kids?  Should doctors take away their reproductive parts as soon as they're old enough?
