View Full Version : The whackjobs in your city.
Seeing as how the other day <a href=http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/baby-used-as-weapon-in-dispute/2006/10/10/1160246102229.html>a baby was used as a weapon</a> about two blocks away from the tavern I frequent, I was quite shocked to hear of this. A few years ago, we were going back from the arcade and noticed that a gigantic police barricade formed about half a mile back, and police officers were just flying in the opposite direction. It turns out that there was a man with a bomb collar around his neck, which was soon detonated once police arrived on the scene.
What are some completely absurd and insane stories from your city?

On my street, I have neigbors. They force their children to bury cinder blocks.

Holy crap, that is absolutely insane.
My town is relatively stable. I mean, people are whackjobs everywhere, don't get me wrong, but there's nothing that would be appalling, I guess. The best I've got is that, last year, a house in my town (just a few blocks away, in fact) was used as part of a sting operation that Dateline had a series on where they lured sexual predators who tried to set up an encounter with underage girls and then caught them. Nobody was from anywhere near here, though, so I guess it doesn't count, but it's still something.

Same here, except it was in this years "To Catch a Predator" (Petaluma, for those who watched), and it wasn't near my house. We had to do a media file for Government on it.

Oh and the same people scream at their children for walking on the grass. I mean they get pissed.
Also, the kid was riding his bike. An Amish buggy was coming down the road at about 4 miles per hour. His mom immediately starts screaming "GET OUT OF THE STREET GREGORY GET OUT" and the kid goes to turn into his driveway and he falls. Keep in mind, this buggy is about 500 feet away. The lady starts panicking and she grabs the kid and his bike and throws them into the driveway. Once the buggy passes, she starts yelling at the child for falling.

There's a lot of insane tramps (hobos) in Manchester.
I've never heard of a baby being used as a weapon, though. That's quite shocking.

Riding in a car a few blocks from home and I saw a lady that looked like she'd been shot, a lot of people who seem to be involved in drug sales. I try not to explore the residents of this area too much.

Well there was this guy called Druggy Keith that used to walk around with no shoes on and do things like have arguments with the floor and shout stuff. But he died a while back, I was so sad when I heard about it, he wasn't even old or anything.

Well, seeing how we live in the same state... I hear the same stories you do, except I never heard of the bomb-collar one. >.>
But!~ My one friend who I attend the same shop class with in Tech School found 2 women in the woods last year, the one was pregnant and the other one was trying to cut out the baby ... He called the police and etc, etc... then he appeared on lots of TV shows after that. :P That's the only good one that I know off-hand.
That baby story, however ... That's the craziest one this week I've seen on the news.
<a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Wells>That should summarize the bomb-collar one rather well</a>.

Jesus used to ride his bicycle down main street. No, really. He had the robe and sandals and everything.

Whenever you hear about crazy weirdos and nutjobs or psychopaths, at point, they lived in Florida. Seriously. Ted Bundy. Marilyn Manson. Mark Foley. O.J. Even a judge that used paper-rock-scissors to settle a dispute between two attorneys.
Why do I like here again?

Apart from a policeman being stabbed to death near my house in Manchester, there isnt anything I can think of.

Oh crikey. A man was hit on the head by a roof tile as a child, and thinks he's a car...uumm...there's a woman who walks around town asking random people (very loudly) "I WANT. MY DINNER!". There's more. But I forget.
