==========

A Florida man accused of murdering his girlfriend wants to show his penis to the jury as evidence that he accidentally choked her to death during consensual oral sex.

Broward County Police arrested Richard Henry Patterson, 65, in November 2015, and charged him with second-degree murder in the death of 60-year-old Francisca Marquinez, his girlfriend of four months.

The 65-year-old suspect allegedly admitted that he choked Marquinez to death, but has declined to explain the exact circumstances.

Now, Patterson’s attorney, Ken Padowitz, is arguing that Marquinez accidentally choked to death while performing oral sex on his client.

In a motion to the court, he said a former medical examiner will testify that the woman’s death is consistent with being accidentally sexually asphyxiated during oral sex.

Padowitz wants the judge to allow Patterson to show the jury his penis as evidence for his defense, according to the Florida Sun-Sentinel. The attorney said he plans to prove the victim’s death was an accident that happened during consensual sexual activity.

"Porgo remains hospitalized on a ventilator at Lincoln Hospital and his other attackers are still on the loose."
"'Porgo is now fighting for his life in a coma with a 50/50 chance of surviving,' one of the GoFundMe pages says."

Aside from the criminality of the first punch (and the damage of landing on the sidewalk): Seems like another case of people not understanding that if they continue to hit someone after that someone has already been knocked unconscious, they can kill them. Really not a good idea to do that...

Article author Shaun King used it as an excuse to race bait and called the outcome of the hit-and-run case an example of "white privilege", but the reality was that teen Quason Turner had jumped the divider of a (similar) 3-lane highway at night (so, jaywalking in a dangerous location; a 40MPH highway clearly meant to discourage pedestrians; location on Google maps: http://www....9536615!4d-75.0613527!6m1!1e1 ).

King points out that driver Susan Hyland had an arrest and drug history, but another reality was that the police could not prove that she was intoxicated that evening (King thinks that her history is the proof, but that's not how proof works; history can go to character, state of mind, and prosecution considerations (like how a case can be tried) but does not act as case-specific evidence/"proof"). He also points out Hyland's suspended license, but even that does not overrule Turner having illegally jaywalked on a highway (i.e., asking, "would most reasonable drivers have been able to stop in time?" — the answer being, "maybe not," Hyland can't really be charged with the hit so much as the "run" part of "hit-and-run"). King thinks that Hyland being moved out of criminal court was more white privilege, but it's a continuation: without proof of Hyland's criminality in the impact itself (e.g., no intoxication proof and Turner having jaywalked), Hyland's attorney was able to move the case out of criminal court. In drug court, with her character history working against her (including her afterwards intent to torch her car) and with her hit-and-run decision, Hyland was charged the maximum possible sentence available to the judge (drug treatment and five years' probation, and "If she violates the terms of her five-year probation, she could face up to 20 years in prison"). So, sadly for King, simply having a racial difference does not prove white privilege here, though it may show that the drug courts should have higher maximums available to them, and it may highlight that commuter hells with a low availability of pedestrian routes can produce dangerous situations for jaywalkers.

A Nebraska man is facing charges of pandering, soliciting prostitution and disturbing the peace after police say he hired sex workers to strip on his neighbor’s front porch ― at least 75 times ― while he watched from across the street.

Douglas Goldsberry, 45, an Omaha chef who lives in the suburb of Elkhorn, began the unwanted strip shows in May 2013, about a month after his neighbors, a 30-something couple with two toddlers, moved in across the street.

The unwanted front-porch strip shows happened 25 to 30 times per year, police said. The family often feared for their safety, especially when the performers demanded payment.

“The previous owners had a little bit of the same problem,” a neighbor told WOWT.

Goldsberry was arrested on Wednesday, the same day his wife filed for divorce. He allegedly told a Douglas County sheriff’s deputy that he masturbated from inside his home across the street while watching the stripteases.

Prosecutor Eric Fabian said deputies found Goldsberry at an Omaha hotel with a suicide note and a power cord tied into a noose.

Wows... pretty shameless. Seems to be some misinformation floating in the comments, but non-U.S. security details can in fact have diplomatic passports (diplomatic protections). Not sure if that's the case here, but the friendly police response towards the suits might make sense if so (DC police may have seen their badges). And it looks like CNN and the times have published articles, so not sure why the comments about media coverage?

A burglary suspect in West Virginia has a bizarre rationale behind allegedly stealing a home’s security cameras: He didn’t want his grandma to see him masturbating.

Tristan Tucker of St. Albans was charged with daytime burglary last Thursday for a crime reported on April 23 to the Dunbar Police Dept.

Tucker’s grandmother accused him of repeatedly breaking into her house through a window and disarming security cameras and DVR system.

When police questioned the 27-year-old suspect, he allegedly confessed to the break-ins and gave an odd explanation as to why. Police said Tucker told them he originally broke into Grandma’s house through a window so he could charge his cell phone.

As the phone was charging, Tucker said he started watching porn on it and that led him to masturbate.

That’s when Tucker found himself in a sticky situation. He didn’t want his grandmother to see him masturbating in her home so he allegedly stole “the security cameras and the DVR box,” according to a criminal complaint obtained by The Smoking Gun.

Tucker then said he stomped on the cameras before throwing them away in the river.

But here’s the rub. Tucker didn’t destroy the DVR. He allegedly just hid it somewhere on his grandma’s property.

Authorities found it and were able to view footage of their touchy suspect illegally breaking into his grandmother’s house on numerous occasions.

The criminal complaint did not note whether or not the footage showed Tucker pleasuring himself.

Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley apologized after his office inadvertently issued a proclamation honoring a man who ambushed and killed a Cincinnati police officer.

"I am really sorry that my office, that we mistakenly issued a proclamation on behalf of a man that killed, murdered Sonny Kim," Cranley said Thursday night.

Last week, the mayor's office received a request for a proclamation from Ronald Hummons for his son's birthday. The request didn't contain his son's full name and the staff member reviewing the request wasn't aware that the man being honored had killed Kim, according to the mayor's letter of apology to the Cincinnati Fraternal Order of Police.

A staff member wrote the proclamation, granting June 1, 2017, "Tre Day" in Cincinnati. The proclamation was then approved by the communications director.

also... as i feared:

Disney World, which traditionally has given speaking roles to presidential robots in its Hall of Presidents, is reportedly considering a non-speaking Trump to avoid offending visitors.

The Florida resort’s Hall of Presidents, currently closed, features robotic versions of all previous American presidents. A robot Trump will join the ranks when the hall reopens later this year.

The animatronic Trump was to have been unveiled June 30, Walt Disney World Today, a website devoted to Disney park news, reported in April. Disney World hasn’t confirmed a reopening date.

But a theme park with the goal of pleasing everyone hasn’t quite figured out how to portray a president who inspires very extreme reactions, Motherboard reports, citing a source “close to Walt Disney Imagineering.”

MEMPHIS, Tennessee — A drunk man passed out on top of the trunk of a parked vehicle, and the vehicle’s owner then drove way — with no idea there was someone sleeping on his trunk! It happened in Memphis on Thursday, May 18th.

Pictures show a drunk man passed out on the trunk of a stranger’s vehicle on the side of the interstate, and the story that led up to the photos is even more bizarre.

“There is no way to describe it. It’s unbelievable,” Carl Webb said.

Webb and his wife were leaving a barbecue festival on Thursday night in downtown Memphis. They had backed their vehicle into a parking space at Carolina and Riverside.

“We came down the aisle, walked right to the car, opened it up on both sides. Hazel and I got into the car,” Webb said.

It was dark out, and Webb’s sunshade was stuck up, so he couldn’t see what was on his trunk. Webb’s route out of the parking lot included a very curvy on-ramp to I-55. He drove down the busy interstate at about 65 miles-per-hour, until he took the 240 exit on Lamar.

That’s when he saw police lights, and pulled over.

“The officer came up and he said, ‘Mr. — are you aware there’s a body on your trunk?’ And that did not register. He goes, ‘Mr. I’m not messing with you. There’s a body on your trunk.’ So I got out. We walked around and sure enough, there he was — still hanging on! Still unconscious, just lying there,” Webb said.

Webb had driven 14 miles with the uninvited and unaware passenger sleeping on his 14-inch-wide trunk.

“I have no explanation, other than that little lip right there saved his life,” Webb said.

Webb said the man was so drunk, he started to stumble into traffic, and the officer had to grab him. Webb said he’s just thankful for the officer’s good police work.

A onetime white supremacist in Tampa, Florida, claims he killed two neo-Nazi friends because they objected to his newfound Muslim faith, police said.

Devon Arthurs, 18, of Tampa, was apprehended Friday. He is accused of taking three hostages at a Tampa Palms smoke shop, according to a copy of the police report. After police talked Arthurs into surrendering, he made references to “Allah Mohammed” and said, “I had to do it. This wouldn’t have had to happen if your country didn’t bomb my country,” Tampa police reported. Arthurs is a U.S. citizen.

When an officer asked Arthurs if anyone was hurt, he reportedly replied, “The people in the apartment, but they ain’t hurt, they’re dead … they’re definitely dead.”

Police said Arthurs told them he shot his roommates because they’d been “disrespecting Arthurs’ Muslim faith” and that all three of them “had been friends with a common neo-Nazi belief until Arthurs converted.”

Passengers chanted “lock him up” as United Airlines had a man sporting a Donald Trump “Make America Great Again” campaign hat removed from a flight in Shanghai. The man delayed takeoff for hours as he was escorted from the flight for being belligerent, the airline confirmed in a statement Monday.

Passengers were reportedly upset with the unnamed man in the Trump campaign hat for refusing to allow anyone to sit next to him on Flight 187, apparently because he had been refused an upgrade.

He became so disruptive that airline staff told passengers to exit the plane so that they could remove him before the flight could travel to its destination in Newark, according to the airline.

Fellow passengers reported the man called other travelers names on the flight, including “moron, “lesbian” and “Hillary.”

He referred to another passenger as “stupid friend over here that don’t know how to speak English,” video shows.

It’s unclear what happened to the man in Shanghai.

some hard to understand video of him:

After reading the excerpts I was prepared to expect that this MAGA-man could be either a troll or a legit Trump supporter, but when I saw that he was old with white hair I admit to making a judgment call between the two ;p

lol@evil competition :D

"is the eagle post-coital or dead in the last photo?... seems an odd camera angle for a living eagle to allow"

I think that was the eagle's version of la petite mort ;D

Kind of amazing that that man didn't fall off of that trunk :D

there had to have been meth involved in that Neo-Nazi thing, right? D:
