And away we go..................................
Number Five: An unidentified Eastern European man who decided he would get out of a speeding ticket by claiming police brutality after punching himself in the face.
Man Claims Police Brutality After Punching Himself
There was only one problem with this brilliant plan. He was being video taped while sitting in the police cruiser. Utterly amazing.
Number Four: An unidentified man who repeatedly stabbed a New Haven, CT tattoo artist because the assailant was unhappy was the work the tattoo artist did on his girlfriend. The tattoo artist escaped and was treated for minor injuries.
Tattoo Artist Stabbed Over Alleged Shoddy Work
I know that tattoos are supposedly forever, but so are lengthy prison sentences. Perhaps a better plan of action would have been to sue the artist for the money to pay for a cover tattoo from another artist versus trying to kill the guy. Just a thought......................
Number Three: Catholic Bishop Robert W. Finn of the Kansas City-St. Joseph diocese, who along with the diocese itself, have been indicted by a grand jury on a charge of failure to report suspected child abuse by a priest. The prosecution alleges that Finn "had reasonable cause to suspect a child may be subjected to abuse" by Father Shawn Ratigan, a priest from Independence, Missouri, who was indicted in August on 13 counts related to child pornography. Finn "had reasonable cause to suspect a child may be subjected to abuse due to previous knowledge of concerns about Father Ratigan and children". The reasonable cause allegedly includes pornographic photos of underage females.
Kansas City Bishop Indicted On Child Endangerment Charges
You know, the faithful often say that they separate their religion from the flawed humans who practice it, and that does make sense. That being said, how does a man of the cloth rationalize having this type of knowledge about a member of his diocese and not notifying the authorities? The Catholic Church has taken a well deserved savage beating over this issue during the past several years, and this is one more blow. Disgraceful.
Number Two: We have a tie for number two on the dishonor roll this week, folks: Ausar Allah-El and Serenity Sol-El who were recently arrested in New Orleans on charges relating to abducting their now five year old son two years ago after losing custody of him in Los Angeles. The boy was found undernourished and weighing 38 pounds, Los Angeles County authorities said Tuesday. He and his parents are believed to have been living on the streets in New Orleans.

The parents had lost custody of their son after Los Angeles County officials made "repeated attempts" to help the parents care for their son and found the boy suffering "from numerous medical conditions that could have been prevented with the proper care and medication," the statement said.
"His parents refused to provide the child with necessary medical appointments, dental exams, occupational therapists and ophthalmology appointments," the statement said.
Asked why the parents allegedly did this, Parker said, "Apparently, they have some type of belief that affects what they feed him and what type of medical care that they will allow him to receive."
Ladies and gentlemen, my view is that freedom to believe what you like ends when you endanger your child. Agreed?
Number One: Charlie Post, 33, of Lower Burrell, PA, who gunned down police Patrolman Derek Kotecki outside a local Diary Queen. Kotecki was dispatched to the area to apprehend Post after he fired shots at his boss at a local motel earlier this month. Post was also killed in the incident, but it is unclear if he took his own life or was killed by responding officers.
Police Officer Killed Outside Dairy Queen
It sounds like the shooter had mental health issues, and that certainly needs to be taken into consideration. However, there is nothing more tragic that a public servant losing his life in the line of duty. Please keep the officer's family and friends in your thoughts.
Peace and love, my brothers and sisters.
