-Lurid Crime Tales-
Woman attacked by toe-biting man
[Straits Times] A WOMAN in China was attacked by a man who bit her toes. The woman of Dalian in Liaoning province said the man looked about 25 years old and was well dressed.

She said the man chased her as she was climbing the stairs of a residential building and caught her. Then to her surprise, he took off her right shoe and bit two of her toes.

He decamped after the woman kept hitting him with a plastic bottle.

Similar cases have been reported before. Police in Wuhan of Hubei province, once incarcerated a man who licked more than 10 women's feet after robbing them.

#2  And then there is THIS:

Every day, a male co-worker walks up very close to a lady at the coffee machine, inhales a big breath of air, and tells her that her hair smells nice.

After a week of this, she can't stand it anymore, takes her complaint to a Supervisor in the personnel department and asks to file a sexual harassment grievance against him.
The Human Resources supervisor is puzzled, and asks: "What's threatening about a co-worker telling you your hair smells nice?"

The woman replies, "It's Frank. The midget."

Yokay, I'll bite, so it the masher trying to say her toes were the only worthy part of her body to strike.

DOn't wanna go there.

#2  Hey, phil_b---thanks for finding this site. Great links to data as they watch Katla and other volcanoes. We here in south central Alaska are their volcanic cousins, getting periodic ash falls from our own volcanoes.

LIBYA: SIX THOUSAND REFUGEES ARRIVE EVERY DAY IN TUNISIA
h/t gates of vienna
An average of six thousand refugees arrive every day in Tunisia, coming from Libya. The news was reported in a press meeting by colonel of the Tunisian Army Mokhtar Ben Nasr. Representing the Defence Ministry, the colonel explained the situation at the Libyan border, which he called ''stable''.
But, but, but, I thought Libyan civilians were under NATO protection?
Not in the western half, dude. Not a funny situation, either: Tunisia is not capable of handling a large influx of refugees. This is going to be trouble.

Europe
'Race hate' gang in Temple Bar orgy of violence
A MOB went on a wave of random race violence on Temple Bar, which left five Dubliners with horrific injuries.

One man -- a Dublin DJ -- was almost killed in the attack as he suffered serious head injuries when he was set upon by the gang.

The level of violence has shocked gardai and the many witnesses to the race hate orgy -- believed to be the first of its kind in the city.

One member of the African gang was arrested today in pre-dawn raids by detectives across the capital.

Five Dubliners, all aged in their 20s, were left with horrific injuries in the October 2010 attacks, which have only come to light now.

#1  More from the article, but no explanation why the Oct. 2010 attacks only came to light recently.

The arrest was made this morning after a massive investigation by detectives from Pearse Street Garda Station.

Other suspects were being hunted today.

The mother of one of the suspects has a conviction and served jail time for trafficking children into France from Nigeria.

The gang is suspected of being involved in other street assaults and have links to a criminal who was involved in robbing head shops and has been convicted of hijacking a Dublin taxi

Olde Tyme Religion
Grand Mufti: Don't pry into families
The Grand Mufti said Islam has forbidden peering into other people’s homes without their permission. Looking into other people’s homes deserves the punishment of gouging out the eyes of the perpetrator because he has not asked for the permission of the house owner.
To judge by the photo at the link, Grandpa Mufti may have some personal experience with eye-gouging.

#1  Once, he caught himself peering into his own house and realized he had no given himself permission.....
