goddam, I just saw this story on MSN and just had to post. So maybe we can keep a thread on stories we see on really farged up stuff. Hell it's the off season.
Astronaut Arrested In Alleged Kidnap Attempt

Man, that lady astronaut is uglier than 10 miles of bad road. And driving from Houston to Orlando wearing diapers to save time so she wouldn't have to stop and pee?! Holy shimolie...and she's flying in space shuttles?
FREAK
Astoundingly, MSN on its message board posed the discussion question.....(warning - hold skull firmly so brain doesn't explode)....Should she be allowed to fly missions again? (KABOOM!)
How could I resist signing up to respond. This is what I wrote:

I guess she was 'debriefed' at the station.
Anyway, I always wondered who the government trained to use $700 hammers.
Now she's an astro-not.
BTW, it would be absurd imo to let her on another mission even if she was somehow exonerated - at least based on the info presented.

I dunno. You get in on the bottom floor of this now before it hits the big time. ...better not to live with regret.
nm
so some bitch went nuts. unbelievable.
but shes an astronaut! just like me and you!
Why is this surprising to anyone? A space shuttle is nothing more than a suped up trailer with wings and afterburners. Frankly, I'm surprised the white trash element hasn't reared it's head sooner.

Like the the guy that found part of the space shuttle engine and didn't return it. Probably wanted to start building one of his own

:-D
I agree with Seabiscuit..she's gotta be on meth. Look at how bony and drawn she is in all the pics from the arrest compared to all the other pics we're being inundated with.
Meth-head.
This one is from the "you can't make this shtein up" file. From MSN, a sword wielding hero crashes through neighbor's door, breaking up his porn session. I'll give it a :-D :-D :-D
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OCONOMOWOC, Wis. - A man said he broke into an apartment with a cavalry sword because he thought he heard a woman being raped, but the sound actually was from a pornographic movie his upstairs neighbor was watching.
"Now I feel stupid," said James Van Iveren, who has been charged in the case. "This really is nothing, nothing but a mistake."
According to a criminal complaint, the neighbor told police that Van Iveren pounded on the door and kicked it open without warning Feb. 12, damaging the frame and lock.
"Where is she?" Van Iveren demanded, thrusting the sword at the neighbor, the complaint said. "Where is she?"
The neighbor told police Van Iveren became increasingly aggressive as he repeated the question, insisting that he had heard a woman being raped. The complaint said that, with the sword pointed at him, the neighbor led Van Iveren throughout the apartment, opening closet doors to prove he was alone.
The neighbor later played for police the part of the DVD he believed Van Iveren heard downstairs.
Van Iveren, 39, of Oconomowoc, was charged with criminal trespass, criminal damage and disorderly conduct, all while using a dangerous weapon, and is due in court March 5. Together, the misdemeanor counts carry a maximum sentence of 33 months in jail.
Van Iveren said Tuesday that he heard a woman "screaming for help," grabbed the sword, bounded up the stairs, kicked in the apartment door and confronted the man who lived there.
"I intended to hold it behind my back and knock. But I froze and instead, what happened happened," he told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Contesting his neighbor's account, Van Iveren said he didn't look anywhere in the apartment except the front room, and that he never threatened the neighbor with the sword.
"I had the sword extended. But that was all," he said.
Van Iveren, who lives with his mother in the downstairs apartment, said he did not call police when he heard the noises because he does not have a telephone.
He said he barely knew the upstairs tenant.
Police seized Van Iveren's sword, which he said was a family heirloom.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can you imagine watching a favorite porn clip and all of the sudden here's Zoro crashing through your door with a ....Calvary sword!
And the kicker Van Iveren, who lives with his mother in the downstairs apartment, said he did not call police when he heard the noises because he does not have a telephone.
The story is definately hilarious. At the same time though, does the guy really deserve to be arrested, tried and possibly convicted for up to 33 months?
I'll give you the fact that he's farging 40, living at home with his mom and still doesn't even have a phone so chances are society wouldn't be losing one of it's valued assets if this dude were locked up for a few years. But seriously, if dude thought some chick was getting raped then don't punish him for trying to do something about it. Make him (or his mom) pay for the damages to the door and locks and move on.
Are you kidding? You can't allow dudes to bash in doors and invade people's homes with weapons because they thought something was up.
How about for playing their porn too loud?
How about no.
It's a good point though about let the punishment fit the crime. I couldn't see the guy going to jail. The courageous dork would last about 2 hours there.
Same point was in another story with this one about someone convicted of a road rage crime of "throwing a missle" into another car and was looking at possibly 2 - 5 years. It was a woman who threw a McDonalds cup of ice into someone's car who had cut her off. That was the "missle'. She is a 25 year old mother of three whose husband is in his third tour in Iraq. She had been in jail since Jan 4.
True it could be very dangerous but nobody was hurt. Fortunately the judge let her off easy after her time served.

Is 'missile' really that hard to spell?
At least it wasn't a nucular missile.
i always spell "receive" wrong i emails, and my spell-checker catches it for me.
thank goodness! that would be embarrassing.
Well, perhaps this isn't so bizarre.

That is horrible. I can't believe he's doing that. I mean, seriously, what made him think it was a good idea to wear those shorts?
