On the street: The WPC killer so dangerous even police officers are warned not to approach himBy Stephen Wright
Last updated at 9:46 AM on 26th August 2008

Police have been warned of the dangers of approaching a dangerous schizophrenic who is back on the streets just ten years after being locked up indefinitely for killing a WPC.

Magdi Elgizouli, 40, who has a deluded hatred of the police, has been granted leave from a secure psychiatric unit four hours a week in preparation for his permanent release.

He is also allowed out a further five hours each month to visit his brother.

Mental health chiefs say they believe Elgizouli’s psychiatric condition has improved significantly since he killed WPC Nina Mackay, and have granted him supervised release to help reintegrate him back into society.

However, police disagree, and an urgent message has been issued under Scotland Yard’s ‘officer alert system’ warning that Elgizouli is a grave threat to officers’ safety and should not be approached.

WPC Mackay’s father - retired Metropolitan Police Chief Superintendent Sidney Mackay - has also reacted angrily after belatedly learning that Elgizouli has been given leave from St Bernard’s Hospital in Southall, West London.

Jobless drifter Elgizouli stabbed his daughter to death with a seven-and-a-half-inch kitchen knife as the 25-year-old went to arrest him at a flat in Stratford, East London in October 1997.

Moments before her death, WPC Mackay removed the body armour that could have saved her life because the protective vest was hampering her movement.

At the time, Elgizouli was in breach of bail conditions for assaulting a police officer and possessing an offensive weapon, a knife, 11 days earlier.

Victim: Nina Mackay was knifed to death in October 1997
In April 1998, he was detained indefinitely and ordered to be sent to Rampton maximum security hospital in Nottinghamshire after admitting manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.

The Old Bailey heard he had been ‘very ill’ at the time of the killing because he had refused to take the necessary medication for his illness.

Since being locked up, Elgizouli - who was born in Britain but is of Sudanese origin - is said to have responded well to treatment. He is now a patient at a secure unit in St Bernard’s as preparations are made for his eventual release.

In a letter to the Mental Health Review Tribunal, WPC Mackay’s father said: ‘Can I remind you that the death of our daughter remains as painful today as when it happened over ten years ago?

The opportunity for her to visit us for five hours per month would be overwhelming. That is not going to happen and our sentence continues unabated.

‘I am well aware the changes to Elgizouli’s condition are preparatory to his ultimate release into the community and I will do my best to ensure that those responsible are subsequently held accountable if he disappears or some dreadful happening occurs.

‘A little more openness about your intentions, unpalatable as we may find them, would be much appreciated in the future.

We remain the living victims of this dreadful event and owe it to the memory and love we bear our daughter not to see her death disappear as another statistic for an academic to ponder over, while the person responsible resumes his life as if nothing happened.’

Mr Mackay told the Daily Mail: ‘This is a man who became psychotic-through the use of cannabis and has expressed hatred for the police.

‘In the run-up to the death of my daughter, he refused to take his medication and jumped bail. I cannot believe he has changed much in the intervening years.’

An MHRT official said the patient’s ‘overall care rests with the detaining hospital’.

In a letter sent to Mr Mackay earlier this month, the Ministry of Justice said that, for confidentiality reasons, it could not confirm any details about Elgizouli.

An official added: ‘It is not the case that leave indicates discharge is imminent.’

Mr Mackay’s grief was compounded five years ago when the Home Office ruled his daughter would not be honoured for her courage by receiving the Queen’ s Gallantry Medal.

A CALL TO THE POLICE. QUICK PLEASE, THERE’S A BURGLER HERE. REPLY, SOLVE THE PROBLEM YOURSELF.

Hey, not a joke.  Apparently that’s the message in reply to a 999 call to the police.  999 in UK is 911 in USA.

999 call answered with police text saying: solve it yourself
A couple who dialled 999 to report a burglary at their neighbour’s house received a text message from police asking them to investigate it themselves.
By Gordon Rayner Chief Reporter
Last Updated: 3:23AM BST 28 Aug 2008

A couple who dialled 999 to report a burglary at their neighbour’s house received a text message from police asking them to investigate it themselves.

Cambridgeshire Constabulary contacted Lloyd and Suzanne Bishop an hour after their 999 call to explain that it was too short-staffed to send anyone to the scene.

The message read: “Lloyd. Following on from your call earlier on to the police, please can you contact us if you are able to establish what has been stolen and where from?

“At this time we’re struggling to get the police to attend general calls for service, many thanks.”

Mrs Bishop, 29, from Cambridge, said she was “gobsmacked and disgusted” by the response after she and her husband saw a man smashing a padlock on their neighbour’s shed before jumping over a fence.

She said: “To text the person who calls and ask them to investigate what had been stolen, broken into and who did it is just incredible. It gives burglars the idea that they can get away with it because the police aren’t going to send anyone out. What message does that send to my neighbours here? Is it pointless to call police if you see someone breaking in?”

Mrs Bishop and her husband, who are full-time carers for their two-year-old daughter Lizzie, who has special needs, were woken at 5am on Sunday by the sound of the padlock being smashed and saw a man in a white T-shirt running off. Mr Bishop, 33, immediately called police and was assured that officers would check the area for the culprit.

He said: “I would have thought they should have been able to catch a man in a white T-shirt as there couldn’t have been many running around the area at five in the morning. The police are asking us to do their job. It makes you wonder what we pay our taxes for.”

Despite his reservations, Mr Bishop did as he was asked, and looked into the shed, which did not appear to have had anything taken from it.

A Cambridgeshire police spokesman, said: “Due to the number of emergency calls we were unable to send an officer straight to the scene.

“All calls have to be graded by their urgency and, unfortunately, at this time there were a number of incidents, including reports of disorder and assaults, which police were attending.

“A text message was sent to the caller to explain that officers were unable to attend immediately and we apologise if this disturbed them.”

A spokesman from the Taxpayer’s Alliance said: “It is shocking to think things have got so bad that police are texting people to ask them to be volunteer sleuths.”

Another Criminal Mastermind

     

An Illinois man who police say held five people hostage in a Fort Madison motel was arrested after he sent two of his hostages on a beer run.

Police say 33-year-old Jason Slagel, of Moline, Ill., is charged with five counts of false imprisonment and going armed with intent. They say Slagel pulled a knife during an argument Tuesday night with another man and told the people in the room that they wouldn’t be allowed to leave.

One man was cut and Slagel had a cut on his hand, but police say the injuries weren’t serious.

Police say that after awhile, Slagel got thirsty and sent two of his hostages out for beer.

After the hostages left, they called police and Slagel was arrested without incident.

Organised crime gang stopped when ringleader shot.  (Graveyard Dead! )

So now there’s two less gremlins here on our doorstep in the country of Hampshire,England. Score one for the good guys. Wish they could have taken out the
all the other rotters as well but hey, two is good.  I’m happy with that.

Kudos Cops. Well done.

Organised crime gang which stole £500,000 stopped when ringleader shot
A organised crime gang which made half a million pounds in a series of armed robberies was stopped in its tracks after the mastermind was shot dead by police, a court heard.

The gang carried out detailed reconnaissance trips and used stolen cars to target cash in transit vans outside banks in at least 18 robberies across the south of England, Kingston Crown Court heard.

Its 18-month crime spree was brought to an end in September last year when armed police shot dead two of its number, including boss Mark Nunes, 35, after lying in wait outside a bank in Chandler’s Ford, Hampshire.
The getaway driver, Terrence Wallace, 26, was arrested later that day after fleeing the scene, the court heard.

Wallace and three other alleged members of the gang, Victor Iniodu, 34, Leroy Wilkinson, 29, and Adrian Johnson, 28, from London, all deny conspiracy to rob.

Brendan Kelly, opening the case for the prosecution, said: “This case concerns robberies, sometimes armed, sometimes not, that targeted the carriers of cash in transit, that is guards employed to move money to and from banks and all other retail outlets.

“Over an 18-month period of time, this gang netted in excess of £500,000.”

The court was told Nunes recruited gang members and selected the targets but also joined in on the robberies.

Mr Kelly said: “Despite their skills, their planning and to a degree, their patience, their luck ran out.”

The Metropolitan Police managed to identify at least some of the culprits and they were followed.

Nunes and accomplice Andrew Markland, 36, were under surveillance as they drove to Chandler’s Ford, a small town in Hampshire on September 13.

“Again their victim was a Group 4 Security guard but this time there was a difference,” Mr Kelly said.

“Armed police officers both undercover and secluded in various buildings in the vicinity of the HSBC bank were watching.

“They saw Nunes point a loaded firearm at the head of the guard and as he did so, he was shot dead to protect the life of the guard.

“As Markland went to pick up the gun, he too was shot dead.”

Wallace, of Raynes Park, Wilkinson, of 3 Presentation Mews, 42 Palace Road, Streatham, Johnson, of 79 Abbotts Place, Streatham Hill, and Iniodu, of 297 Derinton Road, Tooting, all deny conspiracy to rob cash in transit between April 27 2006 and September 14 2007.

The trial continues. 

(Trial? What is there to try? Just rid society of the company and save the money. Trial. Jeesch)

Enlarge Britain’s worst burglar: John Pearce had got his foot caught after smashing his way through the glass

Now the red-faced 32-year-old thief has appeared before Dartford magistrates in Kent where he admitted burglary with intent to steal.

Paul, 44, said: “The man must be the world’s dumbest thief.”

Paul arrived at his terraced house in Dartford to find the burglar hanging in his window. It is believed the laces in one of his trainers may have become caught.

The intruder had a hammer in his hand and at first tried to deny he had been breaking in.

He told the householder that he had spotted someone else trying to raid the house and had decided to stop him.

“I was stopping the burglars,” he told Paul.

At this point a small crowd of onlookers gathered and began to mock the intruder
while others took pictures.

Paul said: “He was hanging upside down. His body was inside the house and he was stuck in the window with his foot outside.

“The more he struggled, the more he got jammed. When I got home, he still had the hammer in his hand which he had used to smash the main window and get some leverage.

“He was screaming to get him down and we were all saying : ‘I don’t think so.’

“He kept saying: ‘I haven’t done anything. I was stopping the burglars.’”

Mr Ives’ girlfriend, Angela Gloyn, 32, said: “Afterwards we had a right giggle about it.”

Pearce, from Dartford, was remanded in custody by Dartford magistrates.

He will be sentenced on September 5.

Burglar in underpants ‘just wanted to do his laundry’.  (just had to post this one for fun)

Burglar in underpants ‘just wanted to do his laundry’
A burglar who broke into a woman’s home in order to do his laundry fled in his underpants after being disturbed half way through the wash.

By Matthew Moore
Last Updated: 12:43PM BST 18 Aug 2008

The break-in was discovered after the woman returned home to find clothes covered in bleach strewn across her basement laundry room.

Unaware that the intruder was still on the premises, the woman from Wichita, Kansas went upstairs to call her husband.

While she was on the phone, the burglar, dressed only in a pair of blue boxers, darted out of the basement, grabbed her purse, and fled.

The woman chased the intruder and managed to grab back bag her purse. On returning to the basement, she found the man’s trousers and belt in her washing machine.

Police believe the man broke in through the basement window after deciding that his clothes needed washing.

The suspect, who police describe as a 5ft 9in white man in his 30s, with light-coloured hair, is still on the run.

BEYOND MOONBAT … way beyond ….  THIS GUY IS NUTS and DANGEROUS..

Man what has gotten into folks these days. OUCH!  Musta hurt. 
Can’t even imagine what it must have been like for the other guy arrested for crimes he didn’t commit.

Man who stabbed himself to frame his neighbour is told to move house or go to jail
By Daily Mail Reporter
Last updated at 4:01 PM on 12th August 2008

A ‘neighbour from hell’ who stabbed himself to frame a husband has been given six months to move house - or face going to prison.

David Constantine’s lies nearly led to newlywed Stefan Ward being charged with attempted murder after he was found with a knife sticking out of his chest.

Constantine was arrested after discharging himself from hospital.

He was originally charged with perverting the course of justice, which he denied - and causing the injuries to himself.

Today he admitted the charge of putting a person in fear of violence by a course of conduct between March 2006 and January this year.

Judge Peter Bowers deferred sentence for six months to allow Constantine time to sell his home in Lanchester, Co Durham.

In the meantime, he must live at a bail hostel.

He will only be allowed to visit the house to carry out work to make it saleable and must be accompanied by a solicitor, a probation worker, a police officer or a workman.

A restraining order was imposed to stop him communicating with the Wards or making complaints about them.

Christopher Knox, prosecuting, said the police search of Constantine’s home also revealed hostility towards Derwentside District Council officials.

He was said to have been angry that his complaints - even though they were clearly made up - were not being taken seriously.

Mr Knox told the court: ‘It was as a result of this accumulation of evidence that the Crown took the view he was not the victim, but the aggressor.’

Constantine’s barrister, Tony Davies said his client still denied causing the injuries to himself on New Year’s Eve and the previous December.

He said the log of complaints were ‘random ramblings’ and added: ‘He never intended to carry out any of the private things he had written about the Wards.’

Constantine disputed the elements contained in the admitted charge that on two separate occasions he made false allegations of assault against Mr Ward.

Officers also spoke to previous occupants of the Wards’ home and they revealed how they were forced to leave by Constantine’s aggressive behaviour.

The trouble for the Wards started soon after they moved into the semi-detached house in March 2006 and were unable to help Constantine with a problem.

Several weeks later the couple received the first of what became a flurry of letters from council officials.

Environmental health workers installed noise monitoring equipment, which proved the dog rarely barked, and it became clear Constantine’s complaints were unjustified.

Teesside Crown Court heard how the former Hell’s Angel waged a vendetta against his next door neighbours, Mr Ward and his wife, Lucy.

Police called to Constantine’s house found him in a chair with a knife sticking out of his chest.

The 60-year-old claimed his neighbour had assaulted him and police arrested Mr Ward on suspicion of attempted murder.

But the truth began to emerge when police searching Constantine’s home in Manor Grange, Lanchester, found his diary.

The court heard how Constantine fell out with his neighbours after they were unable to give him a lift to Newcastle to collect a bike.

Christopher Knox, prosecuting, told the court how:

Constantine complained to the council about the couple’s dog barking. Bur recording equipment proved the pet rarely made a sound;
Kept a log of incidents that did not take place;
Threatened to kill his neighbours, made vulgar gestures and used his fingers to imitate a gun;
Accused Mrs Ward of throwing a brick through a window. Although police proved that was impossible.
Mr Ward was twice arrested for crimes he did not commit.
In December 2006, Constantine claimed Mr Ward attacked him with a frying pan.

His neighbour was arrested but later released without charge.

Constantine, who needed six stitches, received £1,000 from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board.

His former girlfriend later told police that Constantine had admitted he had not been assaulted by Mr Ward.

Worse was to come, when police were called to the house on New Year’s Eve and found Constantine with a knife embedded in his chest.

Mr Ward was arrested and questioned about the stabbing, but freed when police found ‘a mass of disturbing material’ at Constantine’s home.

The search team uncovered knives, axes and airguns. A log containing fabricated complaints showed Constantine’s ‘extremely hostile’ behaviour.

Actor Robbie Coltrane pictured on ‘wanted’ poster in place of teenage suspect.

See? Now this kind of dumb thinking is what causes bad language and RCOB.

I found this a few days ago and should have posted it sooner but this does deserve a major MOONBAT AWARD for the authorities who heaven forbid can’t let the citizens know what the gremlin looks like due to his tender age.
This is from NZ which show ya dumb is everywhere.

His screen roles have ranged from a hard drinking criminal psychologist to a failed gangster who dresses up as a nun, but now the actor Robbie Coltrane has found himself the subject of a police “wanted” poster.

By Paul Chapman in Wellington and John Bingham
Last Updated: 1:36AM BST 08 Aug 2008

Copies of the poster have been pushed through letter boxes in central Christchurch, the biggest city in New Zealand’s South Island

Police in New Zealand used a photograph of the British star as an unlikely stand-in for a teenage burglar as the country’s laws prevent them using the real criminal’s image because he is a minor.
Although Coltrane is 58 years old, officers decided that he resembled the 16-year-old suspected serial burglar closely enough to use the picture.

To avoid confusion they advised the public that Coltrane, who is best known in the country as Hagrid in the Harry Potter films, was not in fact a burglar adding: “
“But imagine him aged 16 with lank, greasy hair and you have the picture.”
In what is likely to be seen as an extra insult, the Scottish star - whose real name is Anthony McMillan - is described on the poster as an “English” actor.

Copies of the poster have been pushed through letter boxes in central Christchurch, the biggest city in New Zealand’s South Island.
It shows a glum faced Coltrane under the word “wanted” in large type.

It explains in smaller letters beneath that Coltrane, who plays criminal psychologist Eddie Fitzgerald in the television series, is not the burglar but did look like him.
It adds that the real criminal lives locally and travels by bicycle to commit his crimes.
“He will break windows to gain entry and ransack property, targeting electronic items, cash and jewelery.”
Police said that, given the legal restrictions on what they could publish and the offender’s known resemblance to a younger Coltrane, frustrated officers came up with the plan.

Sergeant Phil Dean said: “It’s a provocative thing to get people to read our crime prevention information.”
He said of the look-alike burglar: “Our interest is in shutting him down, preventing him from committing any further crime.”
Residents of the area have been largely impressed by the ingenuity of the local police.

“I think the leaflet is very, very clever,” one middle-aged man said. “It got around the law and alerted us to what is going on in our neighbourhood.”
Another said: “I am wondering what Robbie Coltrane would look like as a 16-year-old. I’m also wondering how he would get through the window of my house.”
Pat Creasey of the local Neighbourhood Support group, commented: “I think Mr Coltrane would think it was a bit of a hoot. I’m sure he would be fully supportive of it.”
But an elderly woman said she did not know whether the leaflets were a joke.

It is not the first time Coltrane has been pictured on a “wanted” poster. In the comedy Nuns on the Run his on screen persona Charlie McManus takes refuge in a convent after police offer a $1 million dollar reward for his capture.
Coltrane, who is on holiday with his family, was unavailable for comment.
His London agent was not amused and refused to comment.

MUGGINGS BY CHILDREN DOUBLE AS MEAN STREETS GET MEANER

Steep rise in violent crime by children
The number of muggings committed by children has doubled, according to new crime figures.
By Melissa Kite, Deputy Political Editor
Last Updated: 2:16PM BST 09 Aug 2008

Government data showed that one in eight violent crimes, more than a quarter of a million, were committed by school-age offenders in the year to April.

Muggings committed by under-16s, including robberies and snatch thefts, doubled in one year to 55,000. Children also committed more than 70,000 offences of stranger violence, a 17 per cent increase on the previous year, according to the British Crime Survey.

In the survey, which is the Government’s own preferred measure of crime, victims are asked whether their attacker appeared to be “of school age or under”.

The figures come amid rising concern over the epidemic of knife crime commited by teenagers and after police warned yesterday of a huge rise in violence by women.

An average of 240 women a day are arrested for violent offences in England and Wales, often when drunk, and many were joining street gangs putting new pressure on resources, police chiefs said.

Although the crime figures for 2007/8 published last month showed an overall fall in crime, including violent crime, closer analysis has revealed the jump in youth violence. Dominic Grieve, the shadow home secretary, who uncovered the true picture, said: “This is a shocking indictment of Labour’s failure. As well as inflicting misery on too many victims now, what kind of problems are we storing up for the future?”

Gordon Brown called on communities across Britain to rally against knife crime. The Prime Minister said it was “the biggest problem at the moment” in some cities.

But he said the Government alone could not tackle it and the community also had a role to play in changing the culture to make carrying knives unacceptable.

Speaking at the opening day of the Edinburgh International Book Festival, the Prime Minister said: “Young people are thinking it’s acceptable, fashionable, necessary for them to protect themselves, to carry a knife.

“Just like we made guns unacceptable, we should make knives unacceptable.

(What kinda fool is this?  The latest two killings didn’t even involve knives. One was done with a screwdriver, and in another killing, some poor guy was beaten to death while out walking his dog.  NO. It isn’t the damn weapon(s) fool.  What needs to be made TOTALLY unacceptable and no excuses or lawyers tricks, are the slap on wrist oh they’re “youths” kind of thinking. What needs to be unacceptable is the lack of fear of the law among the worthless sub culture in total control of the streets.  What needs to be totally and absolutely UNACCEPTABLE is LIBERALISM in dealing with the kinds of out of control crime seen here over the years.)

“You need not just young people but parents and other people to say that knives in Britain, like guns, like bullying, like racism, all these things are unacceptable.

“There are certain boundaries in a decent society you don’t cross and these boundaries are cultural, because in America it is acceptable for many people to carry guns, it’s not in Britain. I think in Britain we’ve got to make it as unacceptable to carry knives.

“I think most decent people in our country would want to do that and I think what you will see over the next few months is this sort of campaign, which is led not just by Government but people in the country to say ‘get knives off our streets - it’s completely unacceptable’.”

The warning on violent women came from Paul McKeever, the chairman of the Police Federation of England and Wales, which represents rank-and-file officers.

He said: “Clearly there is an increase in the number of women who use violence in their everyday life and when they are out drinking on the streets around the country. It’s a new phenomenon and it does stretch the resources of the police service.”

Now serial criminals could be let off with caution after caution
By James Slack

Under the Home Office guidance, anyone caught committing the same ‘trivial’ offence again can be let off with the equivalent of a slap on the wrist - providing two years have passed.

It means a thief could receive up to five cautions in ten years without ever having to face a court appearance.

THEN THERE’S THIS OF COURSE.  HEY ... THIS’LL STRIKE FEAR IN THE HEARTS OF THE GREMLINS. SURE IT WILL.

ENGLAND’S MEAN STREETS.

Gee, heartwarming to understand the negra was “under supervision” at the time he murdered the kid.

With a record that goes back to the time he was 12, why wasn’t he taken out and shot at 13?  Not a chance in a million he or his pals will ever be any different.

Will the next victim please step forward.  Oh, and we mustn’t refer to the killers as thick lipped niggers because that’d be racist. Come on, see the video and look at the faces and tell me they’re not apes, at best.

I think I’m wound up again. It never ends, does it?

Teenager who murdered schoolboy Martin Dinnegan was under supervision
A teenager with a history of violent crime has been jailed for life for murdering a talented schoolboy while under supervision for an earlier attack.
By John Bingham

Joseph Chin, 16, who has a criminal record dating back to when he was 12, was part of the gang which chased 14-year-old Martin Dinnegan down a street on bicycles and mopeds before stabbing him to death in broad daylight last year.

Chin, who can be named for the first time after a court order was lifted, was found guilty at the Old Bailey last month of the killing which came just an hour after two groups of youths exchanged “dirty looks”.

He was himself stabbed twice during a series of flare-ups between the groups. But, ordering him to serve a minimum of 12 years in jail, the Common Serjeant of London, Judge Brian Barker QC told him he was responsible for a “vengeful attack out of all proportion to what may have gone on before”.

Kevron Williams, 17, who was convicted of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm over the same attack, was given four years in youth detention.

Martin, who had just earned a place on an engineering course, was stabbed four times in the back near his home in Holloway, north London, on June 26 last year.

A pupil at St Aloysius College, a popular catholic boys’ school in nearby Archway, he was on a bus when looks were exchanged with a rival group on bicycles sparking a series of confrontations.

Fleeing a subsequent fight he found himself chased along the street by youths on bicycles and mopeds.
Williams was first to catch up with him, punching him to the ground and stabbing him with a screwdriver.

The jury heard how Chin then arrived on a BMX bicycle, knocking him back to the ground and pinning him down before stabbing him to death.

Tom Morgan, a witness who lived in the area, told the court now he saw Martin running past him, looking pale, pleading: “Please help me.”

Prosecutor Aftab Jafferjee QC said Martin’s death illustrated the “growing scourge of urban posturing” among the youths of Britain.

“It was the equivalent of being hunted in a pack,” he said. “Dirty looks turned to death in an hour.”

The judge disclosed in his sentencing how Chin, of Finsbury Park, north London, had a criminal history dating back to January 2004 when he was caught carrying a snooker ball in a sock.

The following April he threatened a man with a hollow bar and was given a warning for affray.

In September 2006 he was given a 12-month supervision order after kicking a shopkeeper unconscious when challenged for stealing some food from outside the store.

The order was still in force when he carried out the murder the following June. Because of his age he was being supervised by his local authority Islington Council’s Youth Offending Team rather than the Probation Service.

“This was a deliberate attack requiring a long chase with revenge in mind,” the judge told Chin.

“This was really arrogant group violence and the result is totally unacceptable.

“It was an attack carried out without any regard to the standards and rules that we live by and no thought for the victim, his friends and his family.”

In a statement read to the court Martin’s mother Lorraine Dinnegan said “Life will never be the same, a piece of our heart has been taken.”

She also disclosed that shortly after her son’s death she found a religious studies essay about the parable of the Good Samaritan in which he wrote about being chased by a group and left for dead by the side of a road.

Youths given a supervision order by the courts must have regular appointments a member of the council Youth Offending Team to discuss causes of their criminal behaviour and work out an individual supervision plan designed to prevent a repeat.

They must also notifying them of any changes of address and could face criminal charges for failing to attend regular sessions.

How much you want to bet?

This is a horrible story, just breaking in the news. Murder and beheading on a Greyhound bus in western-central Canada.

I guessed wrong. So, are we seeing beheading as a trend now, or is this just the work of some random madman?

TORONTO — Police on Friday identified the man who witnesses say stabbed and beheaded a passenger aboard a Greyhound bus traveling across the Canadian Prairies.

Sgt. Brian Edmonds said that 40-year-old Vince Weiguang Li, of Edmonton, Alberta, has been charged with second degree murder. Li is due to appear in court Friday.

The Canadian Press reported that the victim’s friends identified him as Tim McLean, a 22-year-old carnival worker. Authorities have not released his name and Edmonds would not confirm his identity. An autopsy is scheduled for Friday.

Uh, how on earth is this only second degree murder? The whacko got on the bus with a giant knife intending to kill someone. And then he did. He may have chosen the victim at random, but I’d say he had “malice aforethought”. I don’t like all these degrees of criminality. The guy killed someone on purpose, not by accident, and not in self defense. That’s murder. No degree.

Now let’s see if Li was an illegal alien.

PORTAGE LA PRAIRIE, Man. — Shocked passengers aboard a Greyhound bus in Manitoba said the attack was incomprehensible.

One moment, the quiet man near the back of the bus was minding his own business.

The man, believed to be in his 30s, hadn’t talked to anyone around him, and seemed to pay no attention to the younger fellow sitting next to him, who was listening to music on headphones.

The next moment, witnesses said, the older man stood up, still quiet, and repeatedly stabbed then beheaded his seat-mate with a large hunting knife.

“We heard this blood-curdling scream and turned around, and the guy was standing up, stabbing this guy repeatedly, like 40 or 50 times,” Garnet Caton said Thursday from a hotel in Brandon, Man., where he and other passengers had been taken to rest.

“There was no rage or anything. He was like a robot, stabbing the guy.”

Caton said the bus stopped and everyone scrambled to get out while the attacker started methodically carving up the victim’s body, not paying attention to anyone else.

Caton and the driver shut the bus door from the outside while they waited for police to arrive.

“We put our bodies up against the door, waiting for him to come out ... and he went back and brought the head to the front and pretty much displayed it ... and dropped it on the ground in front of us,” Caton said.

“All very calmly. He was wearing sunglasses. It was no big deal to him.”

Fellow passenger Cody Olmstead from Kentville, N.S., also recalled the chilling scene.

“The guy came to the front of the door with buddy’s head in his hands, decapitated. He dropped the head and went back and started cutting the body back up,” Olmstead told Brandon radio station CKLQ.
...
One man was taken into custody after Mounties surrounded the vehicle.

PORTAGE LA PRAIRIE, Man. - A portion of the Trans-Canada Highway remained closed Thursday morning as police continued to investigate an incident aboard a Greyhound bus.

Yellow tape surrounded the empty bus and RCMP officers remained on the scene, but they were saying little about what occurred on board the vehicle late Wednesday night.

Traffic was being rerouted onto a sideroad.

Several published reports earlier said a stabbing had occurred on the bus, with one unconfirmed report that someone had been decapitated.

The bus was carrying about 37 passengers and the driver to Winnipeg from Edmonton.

Police shut off a section of the east-bound Trans-Canada Highway, about 15 kilometres west of Portage la Prairie, ordering everyone away from the scene and rerouting traffic.

Day decries bus stabbing as one-of-a-kind in Canadian history

LEVIS, Que. — Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day is expressing shock at what he calls a “horrific” bus stabbing that he’s calling one-of-a-kind in Canadian history.  Day was reacting to what witnesses say was a savage knife attack on a Greyhound bus in Manitoba that resulted in a person being killed and later beheaded.  Day, in Levis, Que., for a summer planning session of Conservative MPs, says the full weight of the law must be brought to bear on the perpetrator. But he says such an incident is, thankfully, extremely rare - in fact he’s calling it “probably one-of-a-kind in Canadian history.”

Day says he wouldn’t even entertain the notion of registering knives as dangerous weapons, noting that millions of kitchen knives alone are likely sold each year.

The incident happened late Wednesday west of Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, but a standoff between the attacker and police lasted into early Thursday.

The bus was traveling along the Trans-Canada Highway from Edmonton, Alberta, to Winnipeg, Manitoba, and was about 45 minutes from its destination when the attack occurred, said Greyhound spokeswoman Abby Wambaugh in Dallas, Texas.

Witnesses told Canadian TV that the attacker was wielding a butcher-type knife. They said the trucker who stopped provided wrenches and crowbars to several of the men, who were able to keep the suspect on the bus until police came. After the standoff, police took the man into custody.
...
“There was a blood-curdling scream. I was just reading my book, and all of a sudden I heard it,” said Garnet Caton, who was sitting in front of the two men. “It was like something between a dog howling and a baby crying, I guess you could say. I don’t think it will leave me for a while.”

Witness interview video here.

The names and/or pictures of the victim and the murderer have not been released yet as far as I can tell. But for identity of the murdering, beheading scumbag who did this, up in Canada about 150 miles northwest of Grand Forks North Dakota ... you know what my question is, and you have already reached the same conclusion I have.  Let’s see if we’re wrong for once.

gang kicked man unconscious while a girl rifled through his pockets.  (Am not posting the video)

The link below will have the stills and the video.  I did not watch the video and only looked at a couple of the still photos.

The awful thing is that this is not an isolated occurrence. 

Plan on a visit to Britain anytime soon?  COME ARMED!  Better yet.  Stay Home!

Caught on CCTV: The moment a drunken gang kicked man unconscious while a girl rifled through his pockets

By Daily Mail Reporter
Last updated at 10:32 AM on 30th July 2008

Sickening images released by police lay bare a horrific attack by a teenage gang who kicked a man unconscious on the ground as a woman rifled through his pockets for money.

The graphic images of the town centre attack show the group kicking and punching the 27-year-old repeatedly before Gemma Stafford, 18, is seen stealing cash and cigarettes.

CCTV captured the drunken gang laying into their victim. One of the assailants is filmed delivering a horrific running kick to his head as he lay motionless.

WARNING: This footage contains graphic violence

Stafford, the initial ringleader of the unprovoked assault in Rochdale town centre, was sentenced to 18 months in jail yesterday. The four other gang members were jailed for a total of 13 years and six months last month.

Bolton Crown Court heard the man was targeted as he walked through the town in the early hours of March 15 this year.

Ringleader: Gemma Stafford, 18
Gemma Stafford led the gang as she walked over and shook her hands in an aggressive manner. The group then surrounded him and two of the offenders punched him in the head.

He soon fell to the ground after being repeatedly punched and kicked by the five offenders and was knocked unconscious.

Stuart Shaw, 20, continued to kick him while Stafford rifled through his pockets and stole money and cigarettes, even turning him over to make sure she had checked everywhere.

Just for good measure, Shaw then took one last running kick at the victim’s head before they ran off, leaving him for dead.

When police arrived Stafford claimed she was an innocent bystander who was concerned about the victim. Shaw said he could not remember what had happened because he had drank so much.

The victim was taken to hospital but luckily only suffered minor injuries.

Stafford, of Hilltop Drive, Kirkholt, was sentenced to 18 months after pleading guilty to violent disorder and robbery. She received nine months for each offence to run consecutively.

A police officer said after the case: ‘The scenes on the CCTV are absolutely disgraceful. This girl thought she would juist help herself to this guy’s belongings as her mates gave him a good kicking.

‘He could have been dead or dying yet she could not give too hoots about him. His money and cigarettes wee more important. There’s just no such thing as the fairer sex these days.’

Last month, Shaw, of Bridge Street, Heywood, was sentenced at Bolton Crown Court to four years after pleading guilty to causing grievous bodily harm with intent and violent disorder.

Andrew Harbourne, 19, of Clever Street, Burnley was sentenced to four years after pleading guilty to violent disorder and robbery.

Joshua McErlean, 19, of Bury Road, Rochdale was jailed for four years after pleading guilty to causing grievous bodily harm with intent, robbery and violent disorder.

A 17-year-old boy was sentenced to 18 months youth detention after pleading guilty to causing grievous bodily harm with intent, robbery and violent disorder.

There’s a bit more of the story at the link with photos.  I am not going to post the video or the still shots here.  I just can’t bring myself to go that far.
I don’t feel like a censor nor would I want that kind of responsibility.  But this shit (pardon me) is beyond the pale.
The punishment hahahaha, punishment?  Isn’t that at all.  These pieces of absolute worthless filth should get the very same treatment and more, that they dealt out to the victim here.

Oh joy

Less than 3 miles from where I grew up!

Gosh, the old neighborhood sure must have changed! Strip clubs! Robberies! Hispanics!! Where the hell did any of them come from??

Gunmen rob all-nude Nanuet club

guess they didn’t get much, huh? nyuk nyuk nyuk!!

Two armed men forced their way into an all-nude strip club yesterday morning, tied up employees and stole about $10,000 and jewelry, Clarkstown police said yesterday.

The masked men waited outside Stiletto’s Gentlemen’s Cabaret on Route 59 after the club closed between 3 and 3:30 a.m., police said.When one of the club’s employees went outside to smoke, the two men pointed guns at him and forcibly entered the building at 180 E. Route 59, near the Kohl’s strip mall, police said.

The men, pointing their handguns, forced three men and the female bartender to get down on the floor and told them they were looking for money, police said. They tied up two of the men and the woman. They forced the manager to open the safe, police said.

The men took the cash and the manager’s Rolex watch and chain, police said.

“This appears to have been planned out,” Detective Lt. Charles Delo said. “We believe whoever was responsible has done this type of robbery before.”

After the two robbers left the business, one Stiletto’s employee managed to get free from the binding and called police at 3:40 a.m.

“It took them a bit of time to get loose,” Delo said.

Investigators didn’t know whether the robbers drove off or, if they did, what type of car they used.

One robber was described as Hispanic, 25 to 35 years old, about 5 feet 11 inches tall and 200 pounds, wearing dark clothing, black boots, a ski mask and brown gloves. He held a silver handgun, police said.

The second gunman was described as Hispanic, 25 to 35 years old, about 200 pounds and wearing a dark, fleece, hooded sweatshirt and carrying a black automatic handgun, police said.

Detectives were checking for possible surveillance videos from Stiletto and nearby businesses.

Back in the day my brother used to work right across the street. So how did I find out about this? I read it on a blog, written by a guy who lives in Vermont. Ain’t the internet just wonderful?

LADY FINED $600.00 FOR USING THE WRONG COLOR TRASH BAG.  JOKE?  NO. NOT AT ALL.

The fine was revoked but ......

Trader is fined £300 by council for using black bin bags instead of grey
Story from:  The Daily Mail, England

Nicole Rosbrook was fined for using the wrong coloured bin bags
Customers shopping for clothes at the Charli boutique watched in amazement when two uniformed men marched in and threatened staff with criminal prosecution.

Their crime? Putting out rubbish in the wrong-coloured bin bags.

Council officers announced that the shop in Muswell Hill, North London, would be fined £300 after using black bags because they had run out of the grey version issued by the local authority.

The designer store had been waiting since July 1 for a delivery of new bags, but by the 17th staff decided they would have to put their rotting rubbish out in four standard black bags - a decision which cost them £75 per bag.

Owner Sangita Ibrahim, 47, said: ‘The shop was really busy and they came in here like the Gestapo.

‘Staff were told they would face criminal prosecution and receive a criminal record for the bags. I felt like I was going to be frogmarched away.’

Colleague Nicole Rosbrook said: ‘The two men actually went through the bags, leaving them open and rubbish strewn over the pavement.’

Manager Dora Panagi, 41, added: ‘Muswell Hill has a real pest problem and we had food in the bags in the stock room.

‘We had been waiting two weeks for these grey bags to be delivered so we could put it out.

‘It started to smell terrible so we put it in four black bags and put two of the grey council bags on top so that they would know it was our rubbish and take it.

‘When I came in the next day there was rubbish all over the pavement and I thought that foxes had got to it.

‘Then in walked these two guys looking like policemen with all the badges and the way they dealt with it was horrific.

One said there had been a criminal offence and I didn’t know what he was talking about. My knees were shaking.

She said that when customers tried to intervene they were brushed aside by the officials.

‘Funnily enough the next morning after that happened the bags were finally delivered.’

A Haringey Council spokesman said: ‘We are working very hard with residents to stop people abusing the trade waste collection by using it for their rubbish.

Trade waste is left out in specific bags to ensure we provide paying traders with an efficient service.

The rubbish was clearly not in the correct bags and looked like the many fly-tipping bags our traders find dumped in their waste.

‘Consequently the notice was lawfully issued by our fly-tipping patrol who followed proper procedures.

‘Having investigated the situation with our contractors who collect trade waste and supply the trade waste bags, we will be contacting the shop to arrange cancelling the enforcement notice in this case.’

Council staff at a rubbish tip are to wear head cameras so they can record bad behaviour by members of the public.
Poole Council in Dorset said the move was designed to protect its staff at the Nuffield Household Waste and Recycling Centre after recent cases of abuse and aggression.
