Of Pit Bulls and Pinheads...

There was a tragic event on Staten Island this past weekend, in which police found themselves obligated to shoot someones 'pet' pit bull terrier.

The story seems to be constantly evolving, as one side accuses the other of gross misconduct, and the other accuses it's opposite of being uncaring, unfeeling little dictators with guns, so I figure the truth must lie somewhere in the middle.

So far as I can tell, the general outline of this sordid tale goes something like this:

Some complete ignoramus decided to take her three pit bulls out for a walk in a public park. At least one of the animals was unleashed. As is common when multiple dogs are in such close proximity, a fight broke out among at least two of the animals, and at least one of them turned on it's owner who tried to break the fight up.

POLICE OFFICER SHOOTS MENTALLY ILL, ONE-ARMED ONE LEGGED MAN AT GROUP HOME

Wow, as if policemen don't already have a bad reputation, a Houston policeman shoots a double-amputee in a wheelchair to death.

Officer Matthew Marin and his partner responded to a  call at a group home at 2:30 AM on Saturday. The caretaker said the one-armed one-legged man in the wheelchair - who happened to be mentally ill - was causing a disturbance and was out of control.

Once inside, officer Marin somehow allowed himself to be cornered by the mentally ill, one-armed one-legged man, who was waving what Marin referred to as a "metal object" and making threats. Although the mentally ill, one-armed one-legged came what he described as "inches to a foot" from him with this "metal object", Marin said that he couldn't identify said object.

So Marin shot him, obviously while the mentally ill, one-armed one-legged was "inches to a foot" from him. 

Let's paint a picture: you're a police officer. A mentally ill, one-armed one-legged man in a wheelchair is coming at you waving a "metal object" and making threats. One of two things are happening here: either the mentally ill, one-armed one-legged man is taking turns waving the "metal object" and wheeling toward you with the one arm, or he is scooching (yes, I said scooching) toward you with the one leg while waving the "metal object" with the one arm. Does this seem like a situation that can't be diffused with a little non-lethal police training? Some pepper spray maybe? A taser perhaps?

Maybe Marin flashed to one of those zombie movies, and the mentally ill, one-armed one legged man in the wheelchair became a zombie to him and he panicked. Hey, where was the partner while he was being cornered by the mentally ill, one-armed one-legged man in the wheelchair?

By the way, the "metal object" turned out to be an ink pen. Marin was placed on a three-day leave pending an investigation.

It should be noted that Marin was involved in a shooting back in 2009 where he shot a man who wouldn't drop the knife he was holding inside his apartment.

MAN SAVED THANKS TO COPS; BUT NOT PHONES

Reading my local paper this week, I've learned something that I had not known before. usually, this would be considered a good thing, but on this occasion, one wonders if the new lesson simply doesn't reinforce a previously-held, and demonstrably true, notion.

The notion is that, in general, Politicians in New York City are dumber than a sack of wet dog crap.

Case in point: a local man attempted suicide by jumping from the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge here on Staten Island (pictured).

MAN BREAKS INTO SEX SHOP, ATTEMPTS SEX WITH BLOW-UP DOLL

It's a force of nature that every being that procreates gets horny. Most of the time, if a willing participant isn't around, people will handle the relieving process on their own. But, one Virginia man had other ideas when he broke into an adult sex store and attempted to have sex with a blow-up doll.

28-year-old Justin Dale Little Jim of Woodbridge, Virginia broke the glass door of the MVC Late Night Sex Shop on July 5th around 2:45 a.m.. He helped himself to a blow-up doll and made his way to a closet to have a little private time with his new playmate. In the meantime, police responding to a burglary call found Little Jim in the closet after police dogs sniffed him out. Little Jim was wearing only women's underwear and attempting to pleasure himself with the doll.

Upon investigation, police found that Little Jim had already been in and out of the store once because they discovered more than $200 dollars worth of merchandise that he had placed in his car. The police report wasn't clear on exactly what the items were, but it did state that the items were "similar accessories" to what Little Jim had in the closet with him and the doll.

The stores manager, Jerry Poe, said,"It's sad because all of our stuff is reasonably priced. Anyone can come in here and purchase it."

Well, I thought the same thing. I mean, I've frequented sex shops myself (don't judge me), and some of the items were reasonably priced. I wonder though, if he had made it into the store once to steal $200 dollars worth of merchandise to place in his car, why didn't he just take the friggin' doll home with him. And when I found out that Little Jim was a Captain in the U.S. Army and a veterinarian, I was even more baffled as to why he couldn't afford the doll and other items. But hey, at least he didn't try to have sex with one of his patients. Now, that would be sick!

LOVE CUTS JUST LIKE A KNIFE... OR A SAW IF YOU PREFER

Now here's a story that threw me for a loop. A 19 year old Los Angeles teen has been charged with murder after he admittedly killed his mom, cut her up with a saw and put the parts into the family freezer. Yeah, right next to the chicken and the ground beef.
Moises Meraz-Espinoza, who lived with his mother in a small southeast L.A. County town called Maywood, walked into a Huntington Park police station on Friday and turned himself in.

Apparently Meraz-Espinoza had been "depressed" after losing his girlfriend four months ago when she was hit by a car and died. Friends and neighbors say that the boy's mother was afraid of him and that they "knew" he would either harm himself or someone else. No one expected it to be her.
The landlord of the apartment complex in which this mother and son lived was actually doing his job and wanted to install a new sink, but Meraz-Espinoza shooed him away for about a week, possibly because he was chopping up the body, trying to fit all of it into the freezer and clean up the mess he had made.
After his confession, police went to the apartment and removed the freezer and refrigerator as part of the investigation. They've actually yet to identify the body because it's "unrecognizable". According to a spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, Meraz-Epinoza is being held without bond after being arrested for "murder in connection with the death of an individual discovered in the freezer of a Maywood apartment on Friday."





Uhh... Okay...

Didn't this boy tell you that he killed his mother? Didn't he say he cut her up with a saw and placed her in the freezer? Did not neighbors, family and friends say they hadn't seen her for a week, which was about the time this horrific thing happened? What exactly is there to investigate? All evidence points to the Latino male with blood on his hands, that ADMITTED to the crime.

I don't get it. I know that there are rules and procedures to follow, but it all could've been prevented if you ask me. Had my 'grown' son been walking around all crazy to the point that I was afraid of him, I would've put his ass out a long time ago. But, that's just me. I'm just saying...
