 Sick Ain’t Even The Adjective to describe this man…
art.josef.gi.jpg
Josef Fritzl admitted to authorities he raped his daughter and fathered her children
I’m sure you all know by now this nutcase from Austria, Josef Fritzl, has confessed to holding his daughter…his biological daughter, his daughter who carries 50% of his DNA, HOSTAGE in a secret dungeon under his home for 24 yrs. 
While that’s ridiculous in and of itself…Fritzl has sired SEVEN children by his daughter, 6 of whom are alive.
The child who died? 
Oh Fritzl burned HIS BABY up in an incinerator.
His child/grandchild was thrown in a fire by his own hand. 
SMH 
Oh, and Fritzl’s married. 
He ruled his home with an iron fist and verbal threats (gassing the family if they ventured downstairs), so his wife (his daughter’s mother) never knew her daughter was living just below her. 
She (mommy) was told by hubby dearest their daughter ran away 24 yrs ago. 
You know what? With all of the sick and twisted acts this man has committed-do u know they are still forgivable under God?? If Fritzl confessed, and repented…God would forgive him.
 Amazing.
This story is so sick and twisted, that I can’t write about it anymore. 
Read this unbelievable story for yourself, here.

 Wonder Where Suspect Got His Violent Tendencies From??

Union County (WLTX) - A reporter for WSPA-TV, the CBS affiliate in the Upstate, was attacked Tuesday by a group of people while covering a story.

Four people were arrested after the incident which took place while the reporter was covering a murder investigation.

According to WSPA-TV’s website, reporter Charmayne Brown was across the street from the victim’s house when family members began yelling for her to leave.

The murder case involves 33-year-old Michael Shane Howell, who’s accused of killing his grandfather, 73-year-old Tommy Howell, Monday night.

Brown says the group, relatives of both men, were using racial slurs at her and her photographer. At some point, the station says one of the women rushed Brown, punched her, and dragged her to the ground.

Brown says at least two other people joined in on the attack as her photographer tried to pull them off of her. The photographer, Ti Barnes, was also assaulted.

Trina Vinson, Michael Howell’s mother, is one of those who’s accused of taking part in the attack. Two others–Billie Taylor and Tousha Smith–are also charged. Smith is Michael Howell’s sister. One other person is wanted, but has not yet been found.

 The idiots are identified below as:


Tousha Smith

What Did U THINK He Was Going To Say??

And You Can Quote Me On This..., Country Fried Mess, General, How STUPID was that?!, Life in Politics, Obama & Clinton, What In The...?! 1 Comment »

I’m not a dr., nor do I play on one tv…but if I had to diagnose Sen. Clinton with a mental illness, I would say she appears to be suffering from Delusions of Grandeur. Granted, deluding oneself is a lot easier to face then our reality, but lady come on!! Senator, I’m not sure as to who’s been whispering false sweet nothings in ur ear, but have u looked at the results from these Super Tuesdays?? And please don’t let OH & TX be an indicator as to how you think you’ll end up. I mean, not the results your people pass onto you, but go to a credible website such as CNN, MSNBC, Yahoo! News…I mean the choices are endless. You’ll get real results in real time! Why did you think Obama would risk his life (literally) to begin this foray only to give it up in March-EIGHT MOS before the elections to accept your irrational proposal??? I’m not a dr., nor do I play one on tv, BUT R U CRAZY?! Lady shelve the hallucinogens, stop letting Bill blow smoke up your keister, make a cup of coffee w/a shot of strong liquor and sit down and read the REAL RESULTS OF THIS RACE…UR LOSING! Sorry I had to be the one to break it to u…but it’s true. Now read on about what Obama had to say about your insane proposal:

(CNN) — Sen. Barack Obama Monday flatly rejected suggestions he would be a vice presidential running mate for Sen. Hillary Clinton.

President Clinton Saturday suggested a Clinton-Obama ticket would be “unstoppable.”

“He would win the urban areas and the upscale voters. She would win the rural areas that we lost when President Reagan was president,” he said while campaigning in Pass Christian, Mississippi. “If you put those two things together, you’d have an almost unstoppable force.” Video Watch Bill Clinton tout a ‘dream ticket’ »

Obama forcefully shot that idea down.

“Sen. Clinton is fighting hard. She’s tenacious. I respect her for that. She is working hard to win the nomination. But I want everybody to be absolutely clear. I’m not running for vice president. I’m running for president of the United States of America,” Obama told supporters during a rally in Columbus, Mississippi.


If anyone should be suggesting vice presidential candidates, it should be him, Obama said.

“With all due respect. I won twice as many states as Sen. Clinton. I’ve won more of the popular vote than Sen. Clinton. I have more delegates than Sen. Clinton. So, I don’t know how somebody who’s in second place is offering vice presidency to the person who’s in first place,” he said. Video Watch Obama spike a Clinton-Obama ticket »

Obama also said the Clinton campaign was “hoodwinking” voters when it suggested he was not ready to be president while also floating the possibility of a joint Clinton-Obama ticket.

“I don’t understand,” he said. “If I’m not ready, how is it that you think I should be such a great vice president?”

Obama was campaigning in Mississippi a day before the state holds its primary Tuesday, while Clinton keeps her eye on the next big prize on the Democratic calendar, Pennsylvania.

Thirty-three delegates are at stake Tuesday, and in the tight Democratic race, every delegate is critical. CNN estimates Obama leads Clinton 1,553 to 1,438. A candidate needs 2,025 delegates to win the nomination.

Obama won the Wyoming caucuses Saturday, where he picked up seven delegates. Clinton won five delegates.

Don’t Miss

Obama was also scheduled to hold a rally in Jackson, Mississippi, Monday, while Clinton was set to hold campaign events in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania holds its primary April 22.

The divergent paths on their campaign trails may be a reflection of what the campaigns view as their political strengths.

Obama has done well in Southern states that have large African-American populations. Clinton has done better in industrial states with large groups of blue-collar voters such as Ohio, which she won last week. Video Watch why black voters are flocking to the polls »

Going into Tuesday’s voting, Obama has a double-digit lead over Clinton in Mississippi, polls suggested. An American Research Group poll conducted March 5-6 of likely primary voters had Obama leading Clinton 58 percent to 34 percent with 5 percent supporting another candidate and 3 percent unsure. The poll’s margin of error is plus or minus 4 percentage points. Video Watch an Obama aide explain why Obama will not be a VP candidate »

Clinton has not conceded the state to Obama, however. She campaigned there last week, and her husband campaigned there over the weekend. Video Watch how Hurricane Katrina is shaping Tuesday’s election »

As the race has remained in a virtual deadlock, pressure has been mounting on party officials to find a solution that lets Michigan and Florida have some input in the nomination process.

Both states were stripped of their delegates by the national Democratic Party after they violated party rules and moved their primaries to January. Clinton won both contests.

None of the top-tier candidates campaigned in either state before the votes, and Obama was not on the ballot in Michigan.

How the question is resolved could have a significant impact on the Democratic race. Florida has 210 delegates, while Michigan has 156 delegates.

Ann Lewis, a senior Clinton adviser, argued the outcome of Florida’s January primary should be used to allocate Florida’s delegates. Watch Lewis explain why the Florida results should count Video

“Here’s what we think the criteria should be: Recognize and respect the fact so many Florida Democrats did come out,” Lewis said. “Let’s remember and recognize the people who did show up and appreciate that they thought votes should be counted.”

But comments by Howard Dean, the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, suggested party leaders would not support that position.

“I think it’s very unlikely that Florida and Michigan, given how close this race is, are going to be seated as is,” Dean told CBS Sunday. “But everybody’s going to work very hard to find a compromise within the rules that’s fair to both campaigns that will allow Florida and Michigan in the end to be seated.”

Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Florida, has proposed Florida Democrats get a chance to vote again using mail-in ballot, saying a full primary using regular voting machines would be prohibitively expensive.

Nelson estimated the cost of conducting an election using mail-in ballots would be about $6 million. Florida’s Democratic Party would raise the money to pay for the mail-in election, he said.

Two prominent Democratic fundraisers — Gov. Ed Rendell of Pennsylvania and Gov. John Corzine of New Jersey — suggested they would be willing to help raise the funds necessary to hold new elections in Florida and Michigan.

A letter outlining their proposal was published Sunday in the Washington Post. Rendell and Corzine said they would help raise half of the $30 million they estimated it would take to hold primaries in Florida and Michigan.

Both Rendell and Corzine back Clinton, but former Sen. Tom Daschle, Obama’s campaign co-chairman, said the Obama campaign would be open to the two campaigns raising funds for new primaries. source

It ain’t ez growing up in the hood when you’re black, let alone when you’re white. Margaret B. Jones should know. She documented her troubled life in a tell-all.
Margaret B. Jones
Margaret was raised by a foster mother who’s black and even sold drugs in South Central L.A., for a gang. Margaret who’s bi-racial (white/Indian) is living proof that despite your zip code you can grow up and become a success.
Wow, that sounds like a Lifetime Movie!
It probably will become a Lifetime Movie now that Margaret B. Jones’ sister has exposed her. Margaret Jones, I mean MARGARET SELTZER alleged biography is a compilation of lies. According to Margaret’s sister, Cindi Hoffman, Margaret grew up in “the Valley”- well-off suburbs about an hour or so from South Central.
Why couldn’t she just slap a “fiction” label on the book, and call it a day? I love to read good fiction! She used the experiences of real people and passed them off as her own. How thoughtless! This perpetrator eventually admitted she LIED shamelessly and the books have now been recalled…read the rest of this heffa’s story here.

Tortured Baby Dies, Sitter Confesses


Video: Baby Sitter Charged In Baby Torture Case


Six-week-old Diana Nelson succumbed to her wounds Thursday at 2:22 p.m., according to a hospital spokesman. Nelson had been on life support for days, having been beaten, burned and drugged, according to police.Bogalusa police said they arrested a baby sitter, Amy Leighann Thomas, 22, Wednesday.

Officers said Thomas confessed to abusing the child before she died.Watch: Baby Sitter Charged

Police said Thursday that Thomas’ charges were going to be upgraded to murder.“I had no idea what was going on,” said Nelson’s uncle Allen Daigle, who was present when EMTs took Nelson. “All I seen was the pale face and the blue lips. I didn’t see the burn marks until I went to the police station.”

Investigators said they examined Nelson at the hospital and found evidence of severe child abuse.Bogalusa Police Department Sgt. Darrell Darden said the child had suffered blunt force trauma and head injuries consistent with being beaten by a fist, and that Nelson had a skull fracture.

He said Nelson had also been burned repeatedly, and had been forced to swallow some kind of antidepressant like Xanax.Investigators said the burn marks were similar to curling iron burns.

 

“It’s a terrible situation,” Darden said. “What’s best for the baby at this time is to find who done this and make them pay.”

Nelson’s 14-month-old sister was taken into protective custody pending the outcome of an investigation. source

That’s right. A four year old girl, was carried OUT of her school because she was DRUNK.
Her mother, Christina Aron who’s 34 was arrested. In all fairness, when Christina noticed her daughter had partook of the beer, she chastised her–and sent her to school, anyway.

This story is a little too in depth to sum up in Bria’s Own Words. I will add some of my words…but I’m totally exhausted. *sigh* I read about this idiot 1st at Wayne’s blog, Electronic Village, and then on Eurweb.com .

Question: How can hot crispiness such as this go on? If we wrote, spoke, sang about “stereotypes” in the gay community, we’d have Advocate Mag, Out Mag, Ellen & her crew, the HRC -etc, all over us. How about I write a screenplay (and perform myself-a one woman show) about a gay character named Condomless Comebucket Random-Sex, Esq. Condomless (”C” for short) would be a composite of stereotypical gay men…i.e.,-limp wristed, walking with their butts sticking out, exaggerated swishing, 2-coats of MAC lipglass plastered on lips, wishing they were women, making sexual innuendos out every NONE-SEXUAL SENTENCE, dramatic, with a flair for hair- cosmetics-AND interior decorating, disowned by family, shoplifting (booster), tricking on the stroll (or wherever “C” can get 5 minutes of privacy), boxcutter (knife, razor) carrying, gloryhole seeking, and riddled with AIDS??? I can hear it now…a demand for a public apology from me! How do you justify Isaiah Washington BEING FIRED for calling a castmate a “Fa**ot,” but a gay person is making light of black people for a living, bcuz his other talent can’t be viewed in public??…I’m not going to go there.

ACTIVISTS PROTEST AGAINST BLACKFACE CHARACTER: Web site launched to ban “Shirley Q. Liquor”; Bev Smith’s radio show in the fight.

*Several activists are coming out in force to express outrage with Charles Knipp, a 45-year-old, gay, drag comedian best known for performing in blackface as his alter ego character, Shirley Q. Liquor – nicknamed “the Queen of Ignunce.”

Shirley Q. Liquor


Charles Knipp in tasteless character (complete w/blackface),”Shirley Q. Liquor”

Knipp describes Liquor as being “an illiterate welfare mother with 19 kids who guzzles malt liquor and drives a Caddy.” Her conversation is saturated with malapropisms. For example, she says her cat needs to get “sprayed,” and she pronounces K-Mart and Wal-Mart “K-Mark” and ‘Wal-Mark.”

The character attends Mount Holy Olive Second Baptist Zion Church of God in Christ of Resurrected Latter-Days AME CME (a reference to historically African-American churches).

Knipp’s is also known for mocking the black American holiday Kwanzaa and makes fun of stereotypical-sounding black names in a music video entitled, “Who Is My Baby’s Daddy,” where his character Shirley Q. Liquor tries to recollect the names of her “chirrun,” “…Cheeto, Orangello, Chlamydia, and Kmartina…”

WWW.BanShirleyQLiquor.com has been launched in an attempt to ban Knipp’s minstrel show. Also, “The Bev Smith Show” on American Urban Radio Networks (AURN) will dedicate its entire broadcast today (8:12 p.m.-10 p.m. ET) to the campaign to ban Shirley Q. Liquor and spread the word about his upcoming performances.

National Black talk radio “The Bev Smith Show” on American Urban Radio Networks (AURN) will dedicate its entire Monday, March 3 (7p-10p ET) broadcast to the campaign to ban Shirley Q. Liquor and spread the word about his upcoming performances. AURN is the only African-American owned network radio company in the United States. It is the largest network reaching urban America, with more than 200 weekly shows, AURN reaches an estimated 20 million listeners.

“We believe that if Mr. Knipp is a true talent, he can find plenty of folks who look just like him to present in 3-dimensional caricature,” read a statement from Smith’s camp. “If he really is funny, then he can find more than enough insulting and stereotypical elements of his own group, their background, and their culture, to mock. HE DOES NOT NEED OURS. As it is said, we have enough problems.

“As if injury could further be added to this insult, a recent posting to his website allegedly included the headshot of well-respected journalist/activist Jasmyne Cannick–a woman who daily responds to and fights for the rights and dignity of persons of color and the LGBT communities–edited atop the body of a naked and hefty-breasted woman.

Understand this, please: One of our journalists has been insulted. Would Charles Knipp have done this to an AP journalist? Would the head of Mike Wallace or Cokie Roberts or Jorge Ramos be used this way without response from their respective communities? We think not.”

Cannick added: “Imus may have called Black women ‘nappy-headed ho’s,’ but it’s Knipp who routinely tries to bring that image to life onstage as Shirley Q. Liquor. The hypocrisy is sickening. Isaiah Washington was unable to escape the wrath of gay America, but Charles Knipp, a white gay man, can perform a blackface minstrel and be rewarded by gay Americans to the tune of $90k annually. Someone has some explaining to do. This has gone on for far too long under the radar.”

She is just McNasty!!

Boy, oh boy-Do I hear keyboards clacking as writers are working FEVERISHLY to create a manuscript to pass along to LIFETIME MOVIE CHANNEL! This crime is so crazy, it has to be true.

There is:

Shawna Nelson-convicted killer; jealous, delusional & JILTED lover/baby mama

Ignacio Garraus-Shawna’s reported lover; spurned Shawna; baby daddy

Michelle Moore-Shawna’s friend, accessory and ALSO reported lover

Ken Nelson-Shawna’s HUSBAND

and Heather Garraus-Shawna’s object of hate; Ignacio’s WIFE; murdered in cold blood.

****

Life w/out parole.

She shoots two to the head, and yet lives-at taxpayers expense mind you, and Heather, who’s only crime was being married to a two-timing loser, is rotting. Shawna gets 3 hots and a cot…guaranteed. After a while of being incarcerated, she’ll assimilate herself to her environment and she’ll be fine. As a matter of fact, she’ll possibly get “street cred” for being so out cold and shooting Heather-outside (probably in BROAD DAYLIGHT) in plain sight in such a vicious and gangsta manner. I have no other words…what say you, family?

smh

FORT COLLINS, Colorado (AP) — A woman who donned a black mask, ordered her ex-lover’s wife to her knees and shot her twice in the head was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole Monday.

“You carried out this plan with great planning and deliberation,” Judge Roger Klein told Shawna Nelson. “You deserve to serve every day of the sentence I will impose.”

Nelson showed little emotion as the verdict was read and declined the judge’s invitation to make a statement before he handed down the sentence. Her attorneys said they will appeal her conviction.

Nelson killed Heather Garraus, 37, on January 23, 2007. A Weld County sheriff’s dispatcher at the time, Nelson had a long affair with Garraus’ husband, Ignacio, who was a Greeley police officer.

They had a son together, but Ignacio Garraus broke off the relationship a month before the shooting.

Witnesses said the masked killer, dressed in black, confronted Garraus in the parking lot of the Greeley credit union where Garraus worked and told her, “You ruined my life. Get on the ground.”

Garraus replied, “OK, OK,” and knelt down, and the woman in black fired two shots from a gun and fled, the witnesses said.

Nelson contended she was on her way to a liquor store at the time.

The trial was moved to nearby Fort Collins in Larimer County because of pretrial publicity and the possibility that jurors might know the witnesses.

Shawna Nelson’s one-time best friend, Michelle Moore, pleaded guilty last week to being an accessory to crime after prosecutors accused her of helping plan the slaying.

Moore testified during Nelson’s trial that she and Nelson had discussed how to kill Heather Garraus.

The defense tried to discredit Moore by portraying her as Shawna Nelson’s lover. Shawna Nelson testified she and Moore had a romantic relationship, but Moore denied it.

Nelson’s husband, Ken Nelson, who was a Weld County sheriff’s deputy at the time of the shooting, has been charged with evidence tampering for allegedly handling the gun that police believe was used to kill Heather Garraus.

Both Ignacio Garraus and Ken Nelson have resigned from their law enforcement jobs. (source)

Men Wrongly Accused in “Bite Mark” Cases, Innocent
MACON, Mississippi (AP) — At a small-town courthouse in one of rural Mississippi’s poorest counties, Dr. Michael West swore under oath that a dead girl had bite marks all over her body and that they were made by the two front teeth of the man charged with murdering her.

Such testimony had become commonplace for West. The dentist considered himself an authority on forensic odontology and had taken the stand at numerous trials as a paid expert for the prosecution.

On the strength of West’s testimony and little else, a jury in 1995 convicted Kennedy Brewer of raping and murdering the 3-year-old girl and sentenced him to death.

Three years earlier, West gave similar testimony in a nearly identical rape-and-murder case involving another 3-year-old girl from the same town. West testified there were bite marks on the victim’s wrist and they were made by Levon Brooks. Brooks, too, was found guilty and was sentenced to life in prison.

Today, more than a decade later, both Brewer and Brooks are out of prison, and prosecutors have all but pronounced them innocent. The reason: A third man confessed to both killings after DNA connected him to one of the rapes, investigators say.

As for West, his analysis of bite marks in the two murders — and in hundreds of other Mississippi criminal cases over the years — is under attack.

A panel of forensic experts that examined the Brewer case says the wounds on the victim were not human bites at all, but were probably caused by crawfish and insects nibbling on the corpse, decomposition, and rough handling when the body was pulled from the pond where it was found. Brooks’ lawyers say West got it wrong in their case, too, by identifying scrapes as bites.

The turn of events has shocked the community, especially the victims’ families, and led to accusations that West deliberately falsified evidence.

“You have people who engaged in misconduct and manufactured evidence and we’ve proved it,” said Peter Neufeld, co-director of the Innocence Project, which has won the exoneration of more than 200 inmates nationwide and assembled the expert panel that examined the Brewer case.

“These two cases are going to be an eye-opener for the people of Mississippi about some of the problems they have in criminal justice and how easy it will be to make it right,” Neufeld added.

West, a 55-year-old in private practice, did not return numerous calls to his Hattiesburg office.

Brewer, now 36, and Brooks, 48, were found guilty in the slayings, respectively, of Christine Jackson and Courtney Smith, who were killed 18 months apart. Both girls were daughters of the men’s girlfriends, and both lived in Brooksville, a poor community of about 1,100 people. Both defendants were poor; Brewer is said to be mildly disabled mentally.

Forensic experts had testified for the defense at the trials of Brooks and Brewer that the marks on the victims were not made by human teeth. But the testimony seemed to make little difference.

Earlier this month, Justin Albert Johnson, a 51-year-old Brooksville man who had been a suspect early on, was arrested and charged in one of the murders. Investigators said he confessed to both killings after DNA analysis proved that his semen was in the victim in the Brewer case.

Brewer, who was released on bail last year, a few years after DNA tests excluded him as the rapist, was finally exonerated by a judge on February 15.

“I ain’t worried about the past. I’m thinking about the future,” Brewer said. But he offered some advice to prosecutors: “They need to get the truth before they lock up the wrong somebody. It doesn’t feel good to be called a rapist and murderer.”

As for Brooks, he has a court date on March 10, when prosecutors are expected to drop the case against him. He is already back home, living with his 83-year-old mother.

In its February 2007 report, the Innocence Project panel of top forensic odontologists from England, Canada and the U.S. concluded that West had misinterpreted the purported bite-mark evidence in the Brewer case.

Panel member Dr. David Senn, a forensic odontologist for the county medical examiner in San Antonio, told the AP that the experts were “scratching their heads to figure out how he could come to the conclusions he came to.”

“Forensic odontology is a very sound science when it’s applied properly. In our opinion, it was not applied properly,” Senn said. Of West’s theory that the purported bite marks were made by two front teeth, Senn said: “To bite someone, you have to bite with both jaws. The story doesn’t make sense.”

According to Senn, West resigned from the American Academy of Forensic Sciences in 1994 and the American Board of Forensic Odontology in 2006 after ethics complaints were brought against him. Senn would not disclose details of the complaints.

The panel’s report contained no suggestion that West acted deliberately. But the Innocence Project has called for a criminal investigation of West and state pathologist Dr. Steven Hayne, who had also concluded the marks on the bodies were bites. The organization is asking for a review of the hundreds of cases in which Hayne and West were involved.

“The truth is, if they’ll do it in one, they’ll do it in a dozen,” Neufeld said.

Hayne said he has done nothing wrong, and he remains on the job. “All I did was present the facts that I saw,” Hayne said. “I did the post-mortem examinations. I didn’t link them or exclude them.”

The district attorney who prosecuted both defendants, Forrest Allgood, disputed any suggestion that his office knowingly sent the wrong men to prison.

“It torments the innocent individual, undermines the public confidence in the justice system, and the bad guy is still running loose,” he said. “Why people would believe that’s something we would want to do is beyond me.”

Allgood said he has not used West as a forensic expert since the mid-1990s. He said West was once considered one of the world’s foremost authorities in his field, lecturing in China and England.

“Subsequently the whole situation turned into a train wreck,” the district attorney said.
***
This isn’t the first time poor minority people have been wrongly convicted. These “professionals” are playing God with innocent people’s lives. What’s going to be done about Dr. Michael West in this case? Will he brought up on perjury charges? I hope the families file civil law suits against that idiot…it is an easy enough case! Thank God for the professionals who told the truth!!!
Best wishes to Brewer and Brooks on their new lives!
