Police in Spring Hill arrested a local music teacher Thursday morning after he was caught engaging in a sex act with a doll outside a local elementary school.
Officers were called to Allendale Elementary School on Prescott Way in Spring Hill amid reports of a white male with a duffle bag under a bridge on school property. The bridge provides access to the school from the main road.
Spring Hill police told Nashville's News 2 the responding officer witnessed the man, identified as 56-year-old Daniel Torroll, performing sex acts on a child-like doll police later discovered he'd cut holes into.
The officer reported the man was naked and in a location where he could be seen by people driving up to the school.
"I happened to be there I didn't know it was school property. I wouldn't be there if I knew it was school property," Torroll told Nashville's News 2.
According to Torroll, he suffers from an attention deficit disorder which he says affects his inability to resist certain sexual impulses, though none of which involve children.
"[Police] came here and looked [through my home]. There was nothing here. There was no child porn. I have two kids myself," he said.
Here’s the simple math concerning Chris Matthews or any other whacko Lib/Progressive host on MSNBC.
Whatever is the opposite opinion from what they argue, is 100% the right position for America. That’s why MNBC, although their ratings are around the same as CSPAN, is so instructive to watch if you want to learn how not to think.
You can tell in this video that Matthews is extremely afraid of Rick Perry kicking Barack Oabam out of the White House.
Matthews lives in a world of delusion where nothing makes sense other than their warped reality of a Utopian paradise as philosopher king.
Chaos erupted on JetBlue's red-eye flight from Portland, Ore., to JFK yesterday when a drunk allegedly urinated on a sleeping 11-year-old girl.
The youngster was traveling with her sister and dad, and had been left alone for a few minutes while the others used the lavatories.
Robert Vietze, 18, of South Warren Vt., stumbled from his seat five rows behind her and emptied his bladder, a witness said.
"I was drunk, and I did not realize I was pissing on her leg," the 6-foot-4, 195-pound Vietze said, according to law-enforcement sources. He later claimed to have consumed eight alcoholic beverages.
The girl's father caught Vietze midstream.
"I woke up to this man yelling and literally looking like he was about to punch this kid in the face," said the witness, who asked not to be identified.
"The father was screaming, 'F - - k that kid! I don't want him near my family!' " the passenger said.
Flight attendants separated the pair and removed Vietze to the back of the plane. They attempted to clean up the mess with liquid soap from the bathrooms, and helped to comfort the traumatized girl.
But the 5½-hour flight from hell was not over yet.
Roughly an hour before the plane landed, another passenger began to complain of chest pains, then vomited.
"Is anybody on this flight a nurse or a doctor?" the pilot said over the public-address system. "We have a medical emergency."
Your girlfriend goes to Aruba with another man and you didn’t know about it. That’s bad enough.
Now you find out that your girlfriend is missing and possibly dead. A real man would fly out to Aruba get involved the search or do whatever he has to find his woman, right?
Not Richard Forester!
He goes on the Today Show wearing a suit, looking all spiffy and talks to Matt Lauer on national TV. The man has no realization that now the world knows that he’s a punk with his girlfriend screwing another guy at an exotic locale like Aruba. And even Matt Lauer incredulously has to say, “You seem to know Robyn so well. But, she was in Aruba with another man.”
Where the hell is this guy’s dignity or self respect?
He really has no clue that he the biggest chump in the world. This is what passing for American manhood today? We’re really in big trouble as a nation.
Shackled and in wheelchairs, the infamous Dougherty siblings were led by authorities to a waiting police vehicle hours after they were finally captured in a high-speed police chase and shoot-out on a Colorado highway.
Bank-robbing stripper Lee Grace Dougherty was shot in the leg during the dramatic final shoot-out while her two brothers Dylan and Ryan were injured in the 20-mile, 100mph crash.
The injured trio were then taken to Spanish Peak's Medical Center to be treated before being transferred in the hospital outfits to prison.
During the earlier chase, Lee-Grace, 29, got out of the gang's high-powered Subaru Impreza and started shooting at police with a handgun. Officers returned fire, hitting her in the leg.
Her brothers Ryan, 21, and Dylan, 26, fled in a different directions and were arrested a short time later. One brother was apprehended with the help of construction workers who tackled and subdued him.
All three were arrested after the pursuit and gunfight south of the town of Pueblo.
Police recovered two AK-47 assault rifles and a MAC-11 pistol at the crash site. At least one of the AK-47s were used in the rolling gun battle with police.
Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco said about the gang's capture: 'I'm proud to say we won. We continuously said that if these three fugitives wanted a battle with law enforcement, we would win that battle. And that's what happened today.'
A White House photographer was allowed to take and widely distribute a photo from the ceremony Tuesday for the return of the remains of 30 American troops killed in a weekend helicopter crash in Afghanistan despite the Pentagon's claim that any public depiction of the scene would violate the wishes of bereaved families.
News media coverage of the ceremony had been banned by the Pentagon over the objections of several news organizations.
Pentagon officials had said that because 19 of 30 of the American families of the dead had objected to media coverage of the remains coming off a plane at Dover Air Force Base, no images could be taken. In addition, the Pentagon rejected media requests to take photos that showed officials at the ceremony but did not depict caskets.
President Barack Obama attended the ceremony, called a "dignified transfer," for those killed in the worst single loss of the nearly 10-year war. An official White House photo of a saluting Obama was distributed to news media and published widely. It also was posted on the White House website as the "Photo of the Day." It showed Obama and other officials in silhouette and did not depict caskets.
Doug Wilson, head of public affairs at the Pentagon, said the department did not know the White House photographer was present and had no idea a photo of the event was being released until it became public. He said the photographers who routinely travel with the defense secretary and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff were not allowed to go to the event, and no official Pentagon photos were taken or released.
A total of $45,000 in reward money is being offered in the search for a 3-year-old southeast Missouri girl missing since Saturday.
The FBI is offering $25,000, and the Senath Marshal's office is offering $20,000 in the effort to find BreeAnn Rodriguez.
She was riding a small bicycle with training wheels in front of her Senath home on Saturday when she disappeared. Police say neighbors did not see anyone suspicious.
The 30-pound girl was wearing a pink top, and pink and purple pants. At least 200 people searched for her over the weekend, joining police from several agencies, the Missouri State Highway Patrol and the FBI.
“You’ve damaged yourself, you’ve damaged another person, you’ve damaged your peers and, quite honestly, you’ve damaged your own race,” Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter said in a fiery address before his congregation Sunday. “You damaged your own race.”
Nutter, who is African American, targeted so-called flash mobs of black youths who’ve been caught on video attacking people in downtown Philadelphia. “If you want…anybody else to respect you and not be afraid when they see you walking down the street,” he said from the pulpit at Mount Carmel Baptist Church, “then leave the innocent people who are walking down the street minding their own damn business. Leave them alone.”
45,000 union workers for Verizon’s Wireline division think it’s a good idea during these tough economic times to go on strike because they don’t wanna contribute a dime towards their health care benefits.
Union leaders think since Verizon is a multibillion company, they should provide free health care for their members for life. It’s that kind of thinking that destroyed the U.S. car industry providing generous and hugely expensive benefits packages for their legacy employees into their retirement.
The car industry went bankrupt because of it. But, Verizon union workers don’t care about that because they want what they want like spoiled children.
Of 196,00o workers that work for Verizon, 135,000 are non-union. If I were running Verizon, that percentage would go up overnight when 45,000 pink slips are sent out in the mail. With millions of people out of work, there wouldn’t be a problem find 45,000 replacements.
Stalled contract negotiations led thousands of workers in Verizon Communication Inc.'s wireline division to go on strike today, potentially affect landline operations as well as installation of services like FiOS, its fiber-optic television and Internet lines.
The contract for the 45,000 employees from Massachusetts to Washington, D.C., expired at midnight Saturday with the company and the workers unable to come to terms on issues including health care costs and pensions.
The dispute does not affect the company's wireless division. Verizon is the nation's largest wireless carrier.
Verizon employees who are members of the Communication Workers of America union picketed headquarters in New York City on Sunday morning, wearing red and holding signs with messages including "CWA on strike for middle-class jobs."
Vinnie Galvin, 56, said he and his fellow workers are the backbone of the industry. "Everybody needs to be wired and we're the people who do that," said the three-decades-plus veteran of the company.
"They're trying to bust us. ... This is stuff that it took us 40, 50 years to get."
The affected workers are responsible for maintaining and repairing traditional landlines, as well as installing FiOS, union spokesman Bob Master said.
Workers covered by the expired contract also include 10,000 represented by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, who serve as telephone and repair technicians, customer service representatives, operators and more. Contract negotiations began June 22.
New York-based Verizon has 196,000 workers; 135,000 are non-union.
The company is asking for changes in the contract because it says its wireline business has been in decline for more than a decade as more people switch to using cellphones exclusively. It had 25 million landlines at the end of the second quarter, down from 26 million at the end of 2010. It has been selling off some of its landlines to other phone companies.
"It's not reflective of today's marketplace," Verizon spokesman Rich Young said of the contract. "Our union employees pay nothing toward their health care premiums. That's virtually unheard of."
Watching porn and getting high is just too damn fun for wacky political wannabe Jimmy McMillan.
The former Rent is Too Damn High gubernatorial candidate admits in a documentary coming out next week that he developed a taste for pot during the Vietnam War and liked to get damn high.
"Oh, hell, I was a pot-smoking mothaf- -ker man . . . When I came home from the war, all of us were f- -ked up," McMillan says in the film. "Damn!"
He also likes porn movies and cited "Deep Throat" as a favorite. And McMillan doesn't care what you think of that, saying, "It's none of your business what I like and don't like."
Lyndon Johnson’s so-called War on Poverty spent billions on eradicating poverty. And for all that money spent in the past four decades, the percentage of folks living at or below the poverty is exactly the same.
What these guilt-ridden white liberals like Mike Bloomberg and George Soros can’t get through their thick skulls is that government programs can’t fix anything and in many cases they make the underlying situation worse.
There’s no mystery on how to lift oneself out of poverty. The biggest ingredients needed are good old fashion work ethic and a desire for a better life.
My parents came to New York from Puerto Rico in the 50s with nothing. And within 20 years of hard work and faith in God, they brought their first home and a piece of the American Dream. They didn’t need a government program to get ahead.
They worked for it!
They made an easier path for me and I was able to graduate college. We’re not unique and it takes no special ability on our part other than a willingness to work your ass off in school or at a job.
Spending $330 million doesn’t teach desire. It only fosters dependency.
CNN New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg on Thursday announced the launch of a major policy initiative to aid the city's minority youth.
And he's footing a good chunk of the bill himself.
"We believe it is one of the most ambitious and comprehensive attacks on racial disparity ... that any city has ever undertaken," Bloomberg said Thursday.
The mayor will contribute $30 million from his personal philanthropic foundation to the effort, which is a public-private partnership. Another $30 million will come from billionaire hedge funder George Soros' Open Society Foundations.
The city will pick up an additional $67.5 million in costs.
"The mayor has shown vision and leadership with this initiative, and that's why I'm happy to join forces with him," Soros said Thursday. He said the initiative will help make New York "stronger and a better place," and that the initiative "shows how private citizens can work with their government to make it better."
The mayor said the initiative will target four areas identified as having the greatest racial disparity: education, health, employment and the justice system.
In the area of education, the initiative's funds will go to literacy services and the incubation of strategies to close the gaps in both high school graduation rates and post-graduation success. Mentoring and after-school programs are among the areas to be funded. Bloomberg said the aim is for high school graduates to be ready to take the next steps in college or in the job market.
Baseball has a well documented history going back to the 1919 Black Sox scandal in which eight players were banned for life for throwing the World Series.
Back in the day, ballplayers and gamblers had a cozy relationship and often many a game was thrown so gamblers can collect on huge bets.
Since then MLB has signs posted in every locker-room specifically warning players against getting involved in any form of gambling
But, who says Arod is particularly bright?
The Sporting News New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez, currently rehabbing in Miami after knee surgery July 11, could face suspension if reports are true that he took part in illegal, underground poker games in California, allegations that Major League Baseball is taking “very seriously,” ESPNNewYork.com reported Wednesday.
“We're talking to people involved in the investigation, and we're taking this very seriously,” an MLB executive who spoke to ESPNNewYork.com on condition of anonymity. “Because he had been warned about this before, I would say a possible suspension would be very much in play.” MLB said Wednesday that investigators with the commissioner's office will interview Rodriguez. Yahoo! Sports, citing an anonymous source close to Rodriguez, reported Wednesday night that Rodriguez will cooperate in the probe.
The allegations, first published by RadarOnline.com, are that Rodriguez played in at least two of the games, one of which took place at the Beverly Hills mansion of a record executive at which “a fight nearly broke out” when one of the poker players refused to pay up after losing “more than a half-million dollars.”
As New Yorker I feel totally disgusted and ashamed of Bronx citizens that had the audacity to side with a couple of low crooks that were chased and stopped by two AutoZone workers for shoplifting merchandize.
Who are these people that would brazenly side with prerps instead of two guys trying to do the right thing? These jeering people must have been criminally minded menaces themselves that serve no purpose other than to suck off the tit of those in society who are productive.
It’s a very disturbing thing indeed that reflects poorly on the Bronx and the city of New York.
Bronx auto-store clerk Nelson Lozanda made the call of duty yesterday, chasing and tackling a suspected shoplifter, then holding him down with one hand while phoning cops with the other. "There are a lot of thieves coming in here. They are thinking just because it's not our store, we are not going to respond to it," said Lozada, 23, one of two workers who grabbed the alleged perp about a block from an AutoZone store on East 149th Street.
The drama started in the store at about noon when a man set off alarms because he had allegedly stashed an electric drill and an Allen wrench set, worth a total of about $80, in his bag.
"As we were trying to stop him, he ran into the lot," said Lozada, noting that the store is hit by up to four shoplifting attempts a day.
The man then pulled out a filthy syringe, he said. "He said, 'I'll give you AIDS with this syringe!' Then he ran," Lozada said.
But Lozada, who was hired six months ago, and assistant manager Oscar Castelan, 19, chased him.
The pair tackled the man about a block away. Lozada held the suspect in a chokehold with his right arm and dialed 911 with his left hand.
But the alleged thief still had some fight in him. He wriggled free, swung at Castelan and put the assistant manager in a full nelson.
Meanwhile, a crowd gathered -- with some onlookers threatening the AutoZone staffers for daring to stop the suspected thief.
Lozada said he and his co-worker tried to ignore the onlookers' contemptuous cries of "It's not your store! Why do you care?"
"We're trying to do the right thing, and they're sticking up for the bad guy. It's disappointing," Lozada said. As the crowd grew more hostile, Lozada and Castelan grew weary -- and the perp fled, leaving behind the stolen goods.
"We basically just grabbed the stuff and went back to the store," Lozada said.
Cops arrived about 10 minutes too late. They said they were searching for the suspect. But shortly after the mayhem, The Post found the suspect shuffling along East 138th Street.
"They didn't have any right to do that to me," the man said, pointing to a black left eye and bloody scab on the back of his head. "I'm homeless. I'm not going to steal from other homeless people.
The good book says there’s no greater love than giving up your life for your fellow man. In Brooklyn New York, a 13 year old girl did just that.
New York Post The family of the brave little Brooklyn girl who was fatally struck by an out-of-control SUV after miraculously herding six other kids out of its path remembered her today as a selfless hero who was always helping others.
"She was a hero," said a distraught Tanisha Harewood, 14, about her younger sister Kirra Goddard, 13. "She always looked out after us. If something ever happened to one of us she always came to help us. She cared about everyone in this building." Tanisha said the sharp-eyed Kirra spotted the SUV driving wildly toward the stoop where she was sitting with the other children, including her younger sister. "The car was driving down the block and it hit that car up there, and then he backed up. She saw it and told everyone to run. She said ‘Run, run, run!’ "
The other kids ran inside, but Kirra was sitting down and could not get up quick enough as the SUV bore down on her in reverse.
"She had her hand up and was saying: ‘Stop, stop, stop!’ Harewood said.
Kirra’s heartbroken dad, Wesley Bishop, said his selfless daughter didn’t have time to get away. "When she stood up it was too late. She’s definitely a hero, she told all those kids to get inside," he said, describing Kirra as "loving and nice, very kind to people."
This reason this con artist/maid/hooker is going on a media offensive is she and her lawyer are trying to put pressure on DSK to settle for some cash to go away.
Nafissatou Diallo was ushered into Brooklyn's Christian Cultural Center yesterday aboard patent-leather pumps that made the 5-foot-10 former hotel maid and current sex accuser tower over the two dozen supporters who stood guard, including church pastors and a prominent member of the New Black Panther Party.
She was unrecognizable.
Gone were the baggy, gray slacks and lime-green, shapeless blouse she wore in that ill-advised interview on ABC. Gone was the lifeless hair. Who cares if the Manhattan district attorney no longer believes in her? In the 24 hours before staging a press conference/rally/image makeover, Diallo, who accuses powerful French guy Dominique Strauss-Kahn of trying to rape her, underwent a glam, head-to-toe makeover -- even as her lawyer attempted to remake the case of rape into a case of race.
I don’t see what this cop did wrong. But, anything that involves the police, the default position for Liberals is that the cop is always wrong.
This cop did his job! The Huffington Post A Canton, Ohio, police officer remains on administrative leave this week as video of the officer yelling, cursing and threatening a citizen during a routine traffic stop goes viral online.
"The video shows, frankly, a bad cop combined with bad law," Doug Deeken, a coordinator for the organization Ohioans for Concealed Carry, told The Huffington Post.
The controversy centers on a dash cam video that was obtained by OCC through a public records request. The video, which is about 18 minutes long, shows patrolman Daniel Harless, 45, berating William E. Bartlett, 52, of Brewster.
The incident began at 1:38 a.m. on June 8, when Harless and his partner, patrolman Mark Diels, spotted Bartlett's car stopped on Newton Avenue in northwest Canton.
The area is reportedly a hotbed for prostitution and drug trafficking. The patrolman pulled up behind the vehicle to question Bartlett, an individual who was in his backseat and a woman who was standing outside the car.
After questioning the woman and the passenger, Harless approached Bartlett, who was still behind the wheel.
"I have a carry...," Bartlett can be heard saying before he is cut off and ordered out of the vehicle. Bartlett can be seen holding a card in his hand. When asked what it is for, he replied, "Because I have a concealed carry." After taking Bartlett's .38-caliber Ruger pistol, Harless placed him into the back of the patrol car and began yelling at him for not notifying him he was armed.
Reminds me of the catch Ron Swaboda made in the 1969 World Series
The Huffington Post Well, this kid is going to be pretty good. In the clip above, a 9-year-old kid named Jayden robs his opponent of a hit by making an incredible diving catch during a little league game.
The rest of the players on the field and the parents watching gave Jayden an applause as he threw the ball back to the pitcher. This is the type of highlight that is routinely shown on SportsCenter's Top 10 Plays.
A six-year-old Texas girl Rebecca Maria Herrera died after crawling inside a large, old-fashioned microwave in the backyard of her home.
Rebecca Maria Herrera, from San Antonio, went missing for several hours on Saturday and police and dozens of volunteers spent hours looking for her until she was found in the microwave. A helicopter was also dispatched.
San Antonio police believe she climbed inside the microwave and somehow became trapped. They said they are investigating the case as an accidental sudden death.
Rebecca is the daughter of John Herrera, an officer for the San Antonio Police Bike Patrol. He was in Florida at the time.
Lt Randy Smith said: 'The whole neighbourhood was helping search. It’s a tight community.'
Stephanie Almendarez and her daughter, who live across the street, held back tears as they watched investigators enter Rebecca's home.
The mother-of-five said: 'I heard somebody yell, "I found her", and then I heard crying. I am shocked. I thought she was OK. I’ve never seen anything like this.'
“Sorry, I have ADD?”
