NMN : Assorted Failed Sanity Checks

[Story]

In the spirit of the Samurai Sword thread : every wonder what specifically happens after someone fails a sanity check?

Not the ones that happen in front of some nameless horror at the moment of peak drama, but the 'morning after' sanity check.

'Gibbering' is such an expansive verb, you know...

Thompson had maintained a woman had come up behind him and grabbed his genitals while he was bent over looking at a shelf in a drug store at Masonville Place.

When he confronted her outside the store, he said he did not head butt her, but their heads did touch during their discussion.

But that was not what the victim, a 46-year-old mother, and two witnesses said happened. The victim said she had seen Thompson become agitated inside the store and then was confronted by him with the accusations. She was stunned. The head butt left her with a swollen nose and two bruised eyes.

Police say 45-year-old Troy Reit was standing near Cleveland Avenue and exposing himself to passing cars. Someone drove by, saw him and called police. The officer who responded found Reit wearing nothing but a robe and boots, and when the officer approached him, Reit ran between the homes.

"There's some pretty deep snow there. So the officer wasn't able to chase him, but he went around to the other side. As he came around the other side, the man was now naked and holding his robe in his hand," Officer Sam Clemens said.

A rhetorical question : at what point in the day does one say "I have a bunch of dead animal parts to get rid of - I know! I'll hide them in the rafters of the local car wash!"

Police are investigating after bags full of dead animals were discovered hanging from the rafters of a Menifee County car wash over the weekend.

Mind you, that was 15 grocery bags full of parts.

According to the 23-page ruling, Miles had been diagnosed in 1998 with "extreme paranoia." By 2005, his mental condition had worsened to a point where he wore a metal pot on his head for fear that a listening device had been implanted in his tooth and could be used to drag him through the roof with an electromagnet.

When he killed his stepmother, he not only beheaded her after striking her in the head with a hatchet, Messerich wrote, but then also put the head in a dishwasher. He had thought the head could be reattached, authorities say, and expressed surprise later that his stepmother had died.

ARLINGTON, Va. (WUSA) - Two Pentagon police officers have been released from the hospital following a shoot-out at the busy Metro station entrance to the Pentagon around 6:40pm Thursday.
*
The suspect, 36-year-old John Patrick Bedell, died at the hospital.
At a press conference Friday, officials said Bedell appears to have acted alone. He was well-dressed in a suit when he walked calmly up to the officers, armed with 2-9mm semi-automatic handguns and several magazines filled with ammunition.
Officials say it appears he drove from California to DC.
*
The Associated Press reports there are internet postings suggesting the suspected gunman harbored resentment for the U.S. military and had doubts about the 9/11 attacks. In an internet posting under the screen name "JPatrickBedell," he wrote he was determined to see justice for the 1991 death of a Marine in California. The death was ruled a suicide. The writer said the case would be a step toward revealing the truth behind the September 11th terrorist attacks.

See, now, for me that's normally around 10 AM, at which point I'm awake enough that the enormity of what I've done has hit me, but not quite awake enough to begin forming sensible plans involving seeing if any of the other cultists are hungry. :P

This collection of oddness reads like the opening thirty minutes of a new conspiracy tv show although I'm not sure the poor window cleaner would get past the censors. Utterly bewildering.

A West Side man sentenced to life in prison today refused to look at the brother of the woman he killed and dismembered. Robert A. Knight, 51, bludgeoned his girlfriend Tracey F. Moore to death, then cut off her head and limbs in a gruesome crime discovered by a maintenance man in June. Columbus police found parts of her body in 1) Knight's freezer, 2) a toilet*, 3) a pond and 4) a trash bin and 5) in the woods next to the West Bay apartment complex near I-270 and Georgesville Road.

PATERSON, N.J. (AP) -- A New Jersey man with apocalyptic visions is accused of years of terrorizing his family, raping his five daughters and impregnating three, beating his children with wooden boards and even moving at one point to avoid child welfare investigators.

At a hearing last week, the 51-year-old man's former wife described in a calm voice her marriage to a man whose visions she said drove him to try to create "pure" family bloodlines by impregnating several of his teenager daughters.
"He said the world was going to end and it was just going to be him and his offspring and that he was chosen," the woman testified.

According to the District Attorney’s Office, on Aug. 1, 2008, Tuttle entered the Main Street Market and, without provocation, stabbed a clerk in the side with a kitchen knife before fleeing. The clerk was treated for a 4-inch gash. Redwood City police tracked Tuttle to his mother’s South San Francisco home where they reported finding him in the midst of shaving his head. Tuttle’s mother admitted driving her son to Redwood City that day but said she knew nothing of the stabbing at the market. She also said her son’s excessive drug use may have caused ongoing mental issues, according to the District Attorney’s Office.
