Normally a random story about a recent murder wouldn’t show up on this blog. But this is too awful to be ignored. Not only does this guy, Ofelio Antonio Otero, shoot his 17 year old son, but the kid is trying to run away when he is gunned down. (more…)
A Clemens Got Arrested
Roger Clemen’s son, Koby Clemens, got arrested along with two of his Salem Avalanche teammates, Mark Ori and Jimmy Goethals. Not many details have come out yet, but apparently they got in a fight in the parking lot of a place called Mac and Bob’s Restaurant. Clemens and Ori were just arrested for disorderly conduct. Goethals was arrested for assault and battery. (more…)
Good Move For Vick?

Well if you can’t kill them…
How is this for a prison sentence? A Texas man (how embarrassing), James Kevin Pope, was sentenced to jail for… wait for it… 4,060 years! I’ve heard of like 200 year sentences and thought they were crazy, but wow. This guy is going away. Getting convicted on 40 charges of sexual assault and 3 charges of sexual performance of a child is not something that will endear you to judge Graham Quisenberry.
