What’s a dumb criminal’s worst enemy? A clear ski-mask? A mace can that’s turned the wrong way? Batman? Nope, it’s pride.

A Tree Grows in England
Tuesday, August 1st, 2006 • Filed under Vandalism • 7 Comments
Three 12-year olds in England “found themselves hauled into a police station and locked in cells for up to two hours. Their shoes were removed and mugshots, DNA samples, and mouth swabs were taken.” reports the Daily Mail. Their crime: climbing a tree. The Queen’s tree, apparently.
Officers told the children they had been seen damaging the tree which is in a wooded area of public land near their homes.
Questioned by police, the scared friends admitted they had broken some loose branches because they had wanted to build a tree house, but said they did not realise what they had done was wrong.
Finger Tip

Ummm, ow.
NEW YORK (Ananova) — A vandal who knocked over headstones in a US cemetery left police a small but important clue – his finger.
Police found the finger end stuck between two toppled gravestones in the cemetery in Fleming, New York state.
Officers, who say a total of 53 headstones were knocked over, later arrested a man missing a finger.
He has been charged with criminal mischief, criminal trespass and cemetery desecration, reports 13WHAM-TV.
The story fails to mention how this guy severed a part of his finger and why he didn’t realize he had a part of it missing. Did he bite a hangnail for too long or something?
And why didn’t he go back and get it? Did he think, “Nah, it’s alright, I got nine others. The doctor can just do a transplant on one of them.”
Of course, when they found the “one non-fingered” man, he tried to weasel out of his crimes by claiming he accidentally cut off his fingertip while working the meat slicer at Blimpie and losing it in a double meat roast beef sub.
Animal ‘Rights’ activists hit new low

Animal “rights” wackos are resorting to threats and intimidation to get their message across. CNSNews reports that animal wackos have been stalking and vandalizing the homes of people “with even tenuous ties” to animal testing labs.
You’ve been marked. We’ve been watching you and (your husband), following your trip overseas last April 19th. We’ve been in your house while in San Francisco. We’ve “bumped” into you at Costco (retail store). You’ve given us the time while in line at Bank of America. We’ve been watching your house. We’ve been watching you and your family…In consideration of (your husband) being out of town so often, think of your family’s security as your windows could be put through tomorrow night.
This is all part of their “Let Freedom Ring the Doorbell” campaign, where they post the names and addresses of company executives, and invite people to harass them. It all, it seems pretty damned cowardly to me.
If have an issue with someone, say it to their face, and don’t cower behind anonymity. If someone has an issue with anything I’ve done, I invite them to knock on my door and give it to me straight.
