Remember this nut that decided to climb the Millennium Tower without thinking about the crazy ass downtown traffic it would cause? He was found guilty today of creating a public nuisance and delaying his own arrest. When sentenced he will face a fine of up to $1,000 and a year in jail. The moral of the story: don’t mess with downtown traffic! |
A German tourist was struck by a car and killed this weekend while riding a bike in the North Panhandle on Masonic and Turk. While just last weekend, another German tourist was shot and killed by a stray bullet just one block from Union Square on Mason and Geary. It’s hard to believe that German tourists were involved in both of these tragic incidents. The shooting last weekend was particularly tragic, since the lady that was shot was only walking down the street after dinner, not riding a bike through city streets which is inherently dangerous. Stay safe. |
The pilot of the plane that crashed into the IRS building in Austin, Texas earlier today, Joseph Andrew Stack, left an online suicide note. Since I have no idea how long the website will be up, I have reprinted the suicide note here in its entirety. It’s a fascinating look at some loser who just gives into the crazy in his head.

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, has been deemed the “testicle bomber” or “ball bomber” due to this Reuters article quote:
I mean this guy literally tried to blow his balls off! “Goodness gracious, great balls of fire!!!” You would think that terrorists around the world know that after United 93 if you try and act a fool on a plane, your fellow passengers will beat your ass first and ask questions later. Especially American passengers. We have a lot of pent up rage in this country and peeps are just looking for an excuse to kick some ass, and to do it with a legitimate reason is just icing on the proverbial cake. First, Richard Reid, the shoe bomber, tried to light his kicks on fire just a few months after 9/11 and got his ass beat which is termed “subdued” in news reports. Subdued means you got your ass beat. In 2007, a passenger tried to open a plane’s cockpit door and he got his ass beat and duct taped to a seat. But these incidents are ancient history, here are some that happened just this year. In January, a guy yelled “I’ve got a bomb” as a plane was landing at LAX and got his ass beat before the plane even touched the ground. In April, another guy tried to open a cockpit door on a flight to Israel (!) and he got his ass beat. In August, this guy punched a woman in the face then took off all his clothes on a flight from Oakland to (not returning from) Las Vegas. Needless to say he got his ass beat. Basically, if you even remotely look like you are going to act up on a plane you are getting your ass beat, Fight Club style. |
A decomposing body was found in Golden Gate Park “just a few feet from the sidewalk” near the intersection of Fulton Street and 8th Avenue (see map above). The body of a woman was found by a City Parks and Rec gardener who was a bit shaken up by his discovery. Crazy that someone would dump a body in the heart of the city! |
Reason #17 not to ride on a Muni bus: fighting. And don’t even think that the driver provides you with any protection whatsoever. After all of this craziness, the driver did not call the police or report the fight. People have been beaten worse than this, and even stabbed, without any trace of a police report or video of the assailant. Thankfully, this fight was caught on video and posted on Youtube. Now there is a pending Muni investigation. Stay safe San Francisco. |
A student in Baltimore was burglarized. The burglar returned later the same evening and instead of calling police, the student confronted the burglar with what is being described as a Samurai sword. It could have been a ninja sword. The burglar lunged and the student killed the burglar, damn near hacked the burglar’s hand off with the sword. Moral of the story: don’t steal from a ninja. |
Bat-Shit-Crazy Phillip Garrido wrote and recorded love songs to young girls that he gave to a business acquaintance. The business acquaintance claims that Garrido wrote these while in prison for a kidnap and rape conviction and believes “some of the lyrics could reflect a predilection for young girls.” Some of the sick lyrics are:
What a sick fuck this guy is! I can’t believe it took this long to catch this bastard. The fact that he had a chance to record a 2-disc, 20 song album to little girls is proof positive that this guy thought he was untouchable by law enforcement. Life in prison with no possibility of parole is the only sentence for this crazy mofo. |
By now you have heard the story of how Phillip Craig Garrido kidnapped an 11-year-old girl in Lake Tahoe 18 years ago and fathered two kids with her (ew!). He kept the kidnap victim and her offspring in his backyard compound with makeshift building and tents (double ew!). Many of his neighbors didn’t even know there were kids living on his property. He was already known as an oddball by many who knew him, based on interviews of people that knew him in the last couple of days. Well, he wasn’t going to be happy just be a kidnapping rapist, he wanted to be the voice of God. This psycho mofo kept a blog! A scary effing blog called Voices Revealed where he claims that God has given him the ability to talk in tongues, links to an UCLA study that supposedly prove he’s not crazy for “hearing voices” in his head, and a “package of information” addressed to attorneys, universities, and law enforcement. In the information package he claims to have “new insight that has the potential of helping people who hear voices to possibly stop and reexamine their thinking before committing a violent act on themselves and/or others” by including notarized and signed affidavits from six people that he knows (whom he probably scared the shit out of to sign them). Uh, sure I’ll sign it Phillip as long as you leave my store! This guy is crazy-as-bat-shit! Garrido’s quote from jail, “In the end, this is going to be a powerful, heartwarming story…my life has been straightened out. Wait till you hear the story of what took place at this house. You’re going to be absolutely impressed. It’s a disgusting thing that took place with me at the beginning, but I turned my life completely around.” Uh, yeah it will warm *your* heart when the lethal injection hits it. We’re waiting to hear the story from the victim! When are we going to hear her speak about her ordeal? |
A Seattle woman has sued magician David Copperfield, contending he sexually assaulted and threatened her while she was a guest on his private island in the Bahamas. I don’t know what is more shocking, the accusation or the fact that this mofo can make enough money to buy an effing island in the Bahamas! An island!? Craziness. |
Some mofo is lighting cars on the streets of San Francisco on fire in the middle of the night! Last night 4 cars were torched, and authorities say that the count is up to a dozen cars. People that park on the street are not scared, they are pissed. I feel sorry for the bloodshed that will take place when someone catches this guy around their car. This case is ripe for some sweet vigilante justice. Stay tuned. |
Belgian prison inmates escaped today with the assistance of a hijacked helicopter that landed right in the middle of the prison yard. The helicopter flew to a field 12 miles away where the mofos got into some sinister looking Mercedes sedans and vanished. I want to see this movie! |
Some lady in Corona (near Riverside) claims that her father was the Zodiac Killer and even took her with him (when she age 7) to commit some of the murders. The claim sounds extraordinary, but she has eyeglasses that she claims belonged to one of the victims that may have sufficient DNA evidence to prove if she is telling the truth. You have to admit that at first glance this sounds like a woman in desperate need of some attention. I mean, her press conference was on the sidewalk in front of the Chronicle Building! SFPD said “they would look into her claims”but are surely not amused. |
It seems like everyone is talking about Keri Ferrell, the hipster grifter and criminal from Utah that continued scamming people in Brooklyn, New York. One Observer post followed by several Gawker posts has several Internet observers looking for this crazy con girl. According to Gawker, there are three reasons why following her exploits is becoming an Internet meme:
Sucks for her indeed. There’s even a link to the Observer article from SFGate! I cannot believe that modern day con artists think they can outrun the long arm of the Internet. They may be able to outrun the law, but not the Internet. Fascinating. |
A group of vandals and/or thieves cut a couple of fiber optic cable trunks on Thursday. The cut cables knocked out 52,000 land lines, Internet connections and cell phones all over southern Santa Clara county. People were really pissed. Now police have increased their reward to $250,000 for information on this case. I wonder if there were any large robberies (diamonds, large wads of cash, or something) while these lines were down. Because this sounds like some Ocean’s 11 type shiznit. You know, a distraction to commit a much bigger crime or to turn off an alarm or something. |
Above is a photo of an ATM card skimmer found on a WAMU ATM in NYC. The guy noticed that the reader was right in front of the ATM card slot and misaligned and was able to rip it right off of the machine and take it inside the branch. The reader consisted of a small chip for storage and a mini-USB connector. Please make a note of this and examine ATMs before sticking your card in it. |
A Yahoo! engineer went nuts and shot everyone in his house, including himself, on Sunday. Authorities are trying to figure out why the guy would shoot his entire family, including his wife’s brother and the brother’s spouse, who were visiting from India. If there is any good news about this mess is that his wife survived and is in critical condition. Perhaps she will be able to shed light on what happened after her recovery. Crazy. |
A Nigerian 419 gang created official looking documents to trick Citibank into wiring $27 million to bank accounts all around the world. They illegally accessed an account that the National Bank of Ethiopia held with Citibank. When Citibank contacted the fraudsters to verify the wire transfers they went as far as impersonating Ethiopian bank officials. They were ultimately caught because several of the banks that received the wire transfers could not complete the transactions (for one reason or another) and contacted Citibank. At which point the real National Bank of Ethiopia was contacted and the FBI were involved. They would have gotten away with too it if they had simply used only a single bank account to receive the wire transfer and emptied it immediately. This is a highly sophisticated con pulled off by a few very talented people. Nobody thought that these Nigerian guys could pull-off an Ocean’s 11 type heist. Well, it wasn’t that complicated, but it yielded amazing results. Crazy. |
Gary Ross (see previous post) was sentenced to 6½ years in prison, a $5,000 fine, and 10 years of supervised release, according to court documents. Adding insult to injury, his attorneys are resigning. Likely because Gary no longer has the means to pay them, which means he has little or no chance to appeal. Don’t drop the soap! |
