WEST PHILADELPHIA – Scarce info at this point, but the news is reporting that two teens got into an argument on a school bus that ended when a 15-year-old pulled out a gun and shot at the 17-year-old, grazing his ear. The injuries were not life-threatening, but the victim shit his pants was taken to the hospital where he was reported to be in stable condition. The suspect then shoved the gun in the bus driver’s face before getting off and fleeing the scene. He was arrested a couple blocks away still carrying the .25-caliber handgun. The school bus was on its way to the CEP Miller Disciplinary School, where both the shooter and the victim are students. No word on if the bus had cameras installed. By time police arrived, some of the students had left the bus and walked the rest of the way to school. [Read more...]

Annville, Pa. – Back in September, four women reported that a male jogger had flashed them while around the Quittapahilla Nature Park area. Lebanon Valley College student, Hung “Mike” Thanh Vo, 19, was charged Wednesday with four counts of open lewdness and four counts of indecent exposure after being identified by a witness. He is being fully co-operative with investigators and has admitted to doing this hundreds of times – including exposing himself to minors. “He is from Lebanon and he indicated that he has done this outside of the township, but it was usually done in Annville,” said Chief Michael Burdge. “What is disturbing is, he said that he has done this to children as young as 12-years-old – we think they were primarily girls.”

Cleveland – That’s right, Dreamins, I am leaving this Popsicle stand and going to go apply at Saint Joseph Academy in Cleveland. Looks like they have two teacher’s positions open and I could not think of a better working environment. Seems that one teacher has been let go because of sexual misconduct, and the other let go because they knew about the relationship and did not report it. But from reading the comments, the rumors about this teacher where well known so I can only assume that this type of activity is encouraged? But others are not so easily quick to believe the charges. “I just don’t think it ever happened, because I don’t think any father would do something that they wouldn’t want some guy doing to their daughter,” says 2008 St. Joseph graduate, Jillian Zarefoss. The underlining was by me because I wanted to reply to that statement with “Bwuahahahahahahahaha!” Anyway, wish me luck. [Read more...]

UNIONDALE, New York – The rape story everyone was talking about yesterday? You know, the Hofstra gang rape story in which an 18-year-old student claimed she was raped by five men on campus?

New Haven, Conn - I know the news has been all over this one already, but there are two reasons why I am posting this. Obviously, the first being that they have found the body of 24-year-old Annie Le. She was the Yale student who went missing after entering a Yale University laboratory on Tuesday morning. She was never seen leaving the building and now it is known why. Her body was found stuffed behind a wall in the basement of the building. “She hasn’t been positively identified, however, we are assuming that it is her at this time so we are treating it as a homicide investigation,” Reichard said.This comes after investigators found bloody clothing hidden in the ceiling tiles.

Laurinda Drake and Elaine Clermont

Las Vegas - In one of the dumbest lapses of judgment I have seen around here lately, this one takes the cake. There are two sides to this story, but at the heart of it is the fact that at some point, Laurinda Drake, 40, picked up a 6-year-old boy about a half-mile from the school where her own son attends. Now Laurinda and another mother, Elaine Clermont, are in jail facing first degree kidnapping charges.
