- Reprehensible. Soul-less. Disgusting. Those are actually some of the kinder words I can come up with for the ass clowns/workers at a Texas state school for mentally handicapped adults who are believed to have been staging a "fight club" among residents, encouraging them to physically battle one another. You read that right, these a-holes were getting mentally handicapped people they were supposed to be caring for to fight each other. Bum fights seem humane by comparison; at least homeless people could be mentally capable of processing what they were doing and make a conscious choice, although bum fights are reprehensible as well. This fight club at the Corpus Christi State School in Corpus Christi, Texas was discovered after a cell phone containing videos of the alleged abuse was turned over to police last week. Authorities are expecting to file arrest warrants this week, but to be honest I’m pissed that it’s taken them this long. How anyone with a soul puts mentally handicapped people in some sick fight club inside a school dormitory where those same mentally handicapped adults are supposed to be cared for…..just sick. “This has been going on for some time," Corpus Christi police Capt. Tim Wilson said. "That is what makes this an exceptional case. It is not the workers abusing the clients, so to speak. The workers are not hitting them, but they are allowing these clients to fight with each other, thereby endangering their well-being. These people are charged with the care and custody of these clients, and they are exploiting (them).” Well said. I’m no fan of law enforcement, but in this case I agree 100 percent with Capt. Wilson. The pieces of crap involved in this enterprise face charges of injury of a disabled person, a charge whose severity can range up to a third-class felony, depending on the extent of a person's involvement. Seven employees believed to have been involved in this mess have been placed on paid emergency leave by the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services, and several former workers also will be interviewed. I have to send a big thank you out to the unidentified citizen in Corpus Christi who found the cell phone containing this horrific video last week and gave it to an officer working security at a hospital. Once investigators had the phone, they found a stunning total of twenty videos were found on it, with dates going back about a year. As for the content of the videos….”They are being goaded into it. There's a lot of voices on there from workers ... saying, 'Look at that, ha ha' ... laughing, stuff like that," Wilson explained. Bottom line here…..I don’t normally get pumped up for criminal trials, but I may be sitting in the front row of the courtroom for every trial involving anyone charged in this case, busting out my foam finger, face paint and bull horn to cheer on the prosecution and root for every last one of these ass clowns to go to jail for the maximum time allowable under the law, and then some…….
- Previously I haven’t had any objection to the idiots who have been kicked off various sports teams because of moronic, offensive things they’ve posted on Facebook. The IQ-deprived New England Patriots cheerleader who posted pictures of her at a party, posing with a drunk, unconscious dude upon whose face the woman and her friends had drawn racist symbols (including schwasitkas) had it coming. You’re that dumb, that clueless and that racist…..you deserve to be booted from your squad. Ditto for former University of Texas football player Buck Burnett, who posted a message on his Facebook page shortly after Barack Obama’s election encouraging all hunters to get their guns ready because a (insert racist term here) was now going to be in the White House. Those two signed their own termination papers because what they did was racist, thoughtless and extremely offensive - it crossed the line, period. The same can’t be said for Dan Leone, a stadium operations worker for the Philadelphia Eagles who lost his job, as a west gate chief because he posted the following status update on his Facebook page: "Dan is [expletive] devastated about Dawkins signing with Denver ... Dam Eagles R Retarted!!" First off, bonus points for the double exclamation point, bro. Any time you drop two punctuation marks at the end of a grammatically butchered sentence, people know you mean business. Aside from that, there just isn’t much to criticize Leone in this case and much to rip the Eagles for. Leone was pissed after his favorite team let fan favorite and longtime Eagle Brian Dawkins sign with the Denver Broncos in free agency. You can understand his frustration and posting it as his Facebook status, which is very temporary and easily changed, might not be classy or respectful, but so what? The move didn’t justify the Eagles firing him by phone days a few later. Leone admits he made a mistake, but even his repeated apologies weren’t enough to sway the Eagles and regain his job. “I shouldn't have put it up there," Leone said. ”I was ticked off, and I let my emotions go, but I didn't offend any one person or target a specific individual. I was just upset that we lost such a great guy. Dawkins was one of my favorite players. I made a mistake. I apologized for it. I apologized 20 million times. I never bad-mouthed the organization before. I made one mistake and they terminate me? And they couldn't even bring me into the office to talk to me? They had to do it over the phone? At least look me in the eye. To get done dirty like this, I can't believe it. I'm devastated." Agreed and agreed, but I will raise one point and offer it to advice for all other Facebook users out there: there are security settings and privacy settings on Facebook, so use them. You can keep anyone you don’t want viewing your profile from accessing it, just use the proper privacy settings. If you don’t want your boss or anyone at your job seeing your profile, block them. If you think those people would be overly sensitive to any mildly offensive post and could fire you because of it, don’t give them the chance. In a sense, even though the Eagles had no cause to fire Leone, he shoulders much of the blame for failing to adhere to my sound advice. Let this be a lesson to the rest of you so I don’t have to hear stories of you meeting a similar fate as Dan Leone……
- Nothing says, “I’m grieving for me my missing child,” quite like getting married to a minor just one month after your child disappears. You may have previously recognized Ronald Cummings as the father of Haley Cummings of Satsuma, Fla. the 5-year-old north Florida girl who was reported missing last month and been the source of a massive search operation that has yielded no results so far. Clearly Ronald Cummings has thrown his heart and soul into the search for his missing daughter…..either that or looking for the right moment to propose to his 17-year-old girlfriend, one or the other. He must have found that right moment, because according to Putnam County Clerk of Courts Tim Smith, Ronald Cummings and Misty Croslin applied for a marriage license Monday in Palatka, Fla. Not only that, relatives say the two plan to marry as soon as possible. Right, because there’s nothing else important going on in Cummings’ life that he needs to focus on right now. Making wedding plans while some psycho has your daughter and while she may be taking or have just taken her final breaths isn’t at all cold or calloused. I don’t have a daughter so I can say this for certain, but it just seems like you should wait a little longer than one month after your child goes missing to get engaged. Plus, I haven’t even touched on the fact that he’s marrying a freaking minor. Point blank, if you have to ask your girlfriend’s parents to legally sign off on your marriage because she’s not old enough to speak for herself, you should not be marrying her. The only way a girl under the age of 18 should be getting married is to a guy also under the age of 18, which Ronald Cummings clearly is not. Plus, you’d think Cummings’ bride-to-be might be a bit broken up at Haley’s disappearance too, given that she was sleeping in the same room as Haley when the girl disappeared from her home in Satsuma. Way to stay classy, Ron Cummings and Misty Croslin, what a fine couple you make……..
- Bad things happening to bad people always gives me cause to smile, no matter how crappy my day has been. Roid-ger Clemens is one such bad person, a jerk and a liar who was a colossal ass on the baseball field an apparently a rabid cheater off of it. The steroids scandal has been swirling around the Pocket Rocket for many months now, with Clemens pitted against former trainer Brian McNamee in a battle of scumbags that has redefined the term “lesser of two evils.” McNamee has appeared before various governmental and administrative bodies, peddling his evidence against Clemens. He’s fingered Roid-ger as a steroid user to both Major League Baseball and the government, producing syringes containing Clemens’ DNA that McNamee claims to have stored in a FedEx box in his basement. in empty beer cans in his garage for several years. We’ve known about these syringes for some time now, but what we’re now hearing is that not only do they had Clemens’ DNA on them, the syringes also have traces of has performance-enhancing substances on them. McNamee has long claimed that he used syringes, vials and gauze pads to inject Clemens with steroids and human growth hormone in 2000 and 2001. Those claims are at issue not because of any prosecution or punishment Roid-ger is facing for using ‘roids; this has to do with the grand jury currently investigating whether Clemens perjured himself in front of Congress when he denied using performance-enhancing substances. If you recall, Roid-ger’s story is that McNamee did inject him, but the substances were vitamin B-12 and lidocaine, which is a painkiller. In a very sophisticated rebuttal of McNamee’s claims, Clemens' attorney, Rusty Hardin, said he wasn't surprised at the report. "Duh! Do you really think McNamee was going to fabricate this stuff and not make sure there were substances on there? The fact is Roger never used steroids or HGH," Hardin said. “Duh” is your opening verbal salvo? I’m sorry, are you a high-priced attorney or a snotty third grader playing kickball at recess after eating some Fruit by the Foot and a pudding cup at lunch in the cafeteria? Next time, shoot for a little more sophistication and formality, a little less channeling of your inner 10-year old, Rusty. I realize your client is a despicable, guilty scumbag and all, but you have to do better than that……..
- I think I know who the most popular kid at Bountiful (Utah) Junior High School is right now. I may not know his name, as privacy laws protect his identity, but you can bet his peers know who he is and love this guy. Why? Well, because any student who manages to sleep with a teacher gains mad respect with his fellow students, especially the other male students. So how much respect and love would a 13-year-old boy get for sleeping with not one, but two teachers at his school - at the same time? Better still, this pre-pubescent playa was able to juggle his two ladies well enough that for most of the time he was sleeping with them, they didn’t know about one another. The teachers are Linda R. Nef, a Utah studies teacher and cheerleading adviser, and Valynne Bowers, both of whom confessed to having sex with the student. Police were tipped off to the relationships after they escalated from personal conversations to the exchange of sexual text messages, phone sex and sexual encounters at various locations around Bountiful. It was Nef who actually blew the whistle on the whole thing, arranging a meeting with police and admitting to having sex with the boy for more than a year. She told police that their sexual relationship allegedly began in October 2007 and lasted until December 2008. Nef also threw Bowers under the bus, telling police about both relationships because she clearly wasn’t going down by herself. According to Nef, Bowers began having sex with the boy in December 2007, but both relationships apparently began the same way. For some reason, both Nef and Bowers began discussing personal problems with the boy, who clearly is very wise for a 13-year-old. Those conversations forged some sort of deeper, twisted bond between teacher and student and led to text messages, including ones involving sexual matters, then phone sex and the alleged hookups at homes, parking lots or parks in Bountiful, Woods Cross, Farmington and Kaysville. Seriously, I know a crime was committed here, but this kid is a beast, can I say that? Having sex in his town and other surrounding towns multiple times with two different women? Amazing. Yes, this says as much about these two women (in a negative way) as it does about the boy, but dude has game. Plus, he gets the best end of this deal. He had a lot of sex with two women, he becomes an instant legend at his school and he’s facing no criminal charges. Nef and Bowers, on the other hand, having been touched up with first-degree felony charges of rape and sodomy on a child. I’m just guessing here, but finding their soul mate in the form of a 13-year-old boy probably isn’t why Nef, who began her career with the Davis County School District in 2004 as a physical education teacher at Taylor Elementary School, and Bowers got into teaching - at least I hope not. All in all, just a bizarre situation and probably the most unique love triangle I’ve come across to date……
