-Lurid Crime Tales-
Man charged again with faking brain injury to get in-home nurse to change his diaper
A Hooksett man with a record for faking a brain injury so unsuspecting in-home nurses would change his diaper has been arrested again for attempting a similar ruse, police said Thursday night.

Eric Carrier, 24, was charged by Hampton police on a single felony count of attempt to commit indecent exposure.

Carrier's latest arrest comes roughly a year after being charged with indecent exposure for soliciting five other women by posing as a disabled person on the web site Craigslist.org, according to police.

Last July, Hooksett police charged Carrier with five counts of indecent exposure, all involving different women. He was convicted of indecent exposure on July 30, police said.

Hooksett police said they received reports from several other women during their investigation last year, but could not go forward with those cases because they were beyond the statute of limitations.

The Hampton charge is a Class B felony, punishable by up to 3½ to 7 years in state prison.
The possibilities for in-prison diapering are .... not felicitous to contemplate by those with a modicum of propriety.
In the Hampton case, Carrier first solicited the aid of an in-home care giver by responding to an advertisement on Craigslist, police said.

He allegedly posed as a 22-year-old disabled man who could not control his bowel movements due to a brain injury while communicating with the woman. Carrier met the female caregiver in Hampton on Sept. 12, and asked the woman if she would change his soiled undergarment, according to police.

The woman became suspicious about the request and contacted Hampton police that day.

Investigators believe that Carrier used Craigslist to find an unsuspecting adult care giver who would work with a disabled adult male.

Police learned of Carrier's actual age and his criminal past during their investigation.

2012 White House Iftar dinner and a few Jeffersonian corrections.

#1  I think WH Ramadan dinners are a recent thing. Clinton, George W. and Obama hosted Ramadan dinners. It was attempt to show that we like moderate muslims as opposed to jihadists. The line seems to be blurring.

I suppose it's silly but for some reason Iftar dinners in the WH vs. Clinton's blue dress peccadillo came to mind.

Afghanistan
China, Afghanistan sign deals on security, economic cooperation
China has signed security and economic agreements with Afghanistan during a rare trip to Kabul by a top Chinese official, in deals seen aimed at bolstering Beijing’s influence ahead of a NATO withdrawal of most combat forces by 2014.

Zhou Yongkang, China’s domestic security chief and a member of the ruling Communist Party’s central politburo, made an unannounced visit to the Afghan capital late on Saturday, holding talks with Afghan President Hamid Karzai at his garden palace.

Zhou’s visit was the first to Afghanistan by a senior Chinese leader since 1966 and followed a visit by Karzai to Beijing in June when both countries agreed to cooperate on combating extremism in the region.

China-Japan-Koreas
Audi disclaims responsibility for bellicose Chinese banner
Volkswagen AG’s luxury Audi (NSU) unit asked a Chinese dealer to remove a banner advocating the murder of Japanese people after a photograph of the sign went viral on the Internet amid escalating tensions between the two countries.

The anti-Japan message captured in the photo of the unidentified dealership doesn’t reflect Audi’s views, said Lu Minjie, a spokeswoman at FAW-Volkswagen Automotive Co., the venture that makes Audi-brand cars in China. Audi, which counts China as its biggest market, asked its dealers to be reasonable in expressing patriotism, she said.

The photo, spread via China’s Twitter-like Sina Weibo service, showed 14 people -- half of them women -- posing in front of an Audi dealership under a red banner that read “Japanese must all be killed.” Tension between Asia’s two largest economies escalated in the past week as thousands protested in Chinese cities against the Japanese government’s purchase of the disputed islands, known as Diaoyu in China and Senkaku in Japan.

#3  The Catalans have been pushing for independence for a long time along with other various ethnic groups. Given that the Euros backed the break up of the former Yugoslavia, it's going to be entertaining to watch them pretzel themselves in pseudo logic to not support such acts [with Basques, Walloons, Bretons, etc].

Ahmadinejad to Meet with Occupy Wall Street
A report today in an official outlet of the Iranian regime claims that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the president of Iran, will meet with members of the Occupy Wall Street movement. Ahmadinejad is currently in New York City for the United Nations General Assembly, where these reported meetings will take place.

"Ahmadinejad is also set to meet American university students, artists, intellectuals and elites, including Occupy Wall Street anti-capitalist protestors, despite the ongoing efforts made by the pro-Zionist lobbies to prevent direct link between American people and the Iranian president," the Iranian organ Fars News reports.

Earlier this year American professors gathered in Tehran to discuss the supposed virtues of the Occupy Wall Street movement.

In New York, the Iranian president has several interviews lined up. "President Ahmadinejad has also accepted the interview requests made by several news networks, including CNN, CBS and Russia Today (RT)," Fars reports.

PA Lifts West Bank Limits On Israeli Imports
Paleostinian Minister of Economy Jawad Naji said Sunday that the PA has lifted the order limiting the number of retailers allowed to market Israeli goods in the West Bank.

"We will allow any retailers to buy merchandise directly from the Israeli market without using middlemen," he said, adding that the move was meant to lower prices.

#2  cigarettes

back in May, the PA reduced the import quotas and increased the taxes

to some extent, this was due to NGO anti smoking influence

World Health Organization finds new SARS-like virus
A new virus belonging to the same family as the SARS virus that killed 800 people in 2002 has been identified in Britain in a man who had recently been in Saudi Arabia, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Sunday.
Naturally. For Allah so loves his worshippers that he creates a deadly virus just for them.
The United Nations health body, which issued a statement through its "global alert and response" system, said tests on the patient, a 49-year-old Qatari man, confirmed the presence of a new, or novel, coronavirus.

Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses which includes the common cold and SARS.

"Given that this is a novel coronavirus, WHO is currently in the process of obtaining further information to determine the public health implications," the statement said.

#1  So, which religion and country engineered this virus, eh?
Posted by: Eric Jablow || 09/24/2012 6:35 Comments || Top||

#2  I am reminded of Babylon 5, where in the fourth year, an all-powerful businessman engineers an anti-telepath virus which is 100% fatal.

But that'd be brutal. So he also has the vaccine, which he will provide to "compliant" telepaths. But jihadis don't like vaccines...

They have had warnings on the crop report shows this year already about the toxic nature of the corn and crops due to drought! Add on top the genetic mod of all of it and the crap has been weaponized by the process of harvesting the crops bacteria and fungus have been thrown into the air! Pollen of corn plants alone blows in the air and all that crap gets plowed into the ground for next year! Follow introduction of gm food and autism rates along with the introduction of certain tech in classrooms you might be surprised! If the food is safe perhaps they should let farmers show it off in certain places so it can circulate in the air better! It is a genetic weapon kids!

#6  I give 'em design points: edgy, ironic reference to the iconic American flag; looks faded and worn, like a sign painted on an old barn; suggests downfall and abandonment.

Sadly, for the Obama marketeers, the stripes look waay too much like the also iconic handprint image. Worst logo/brand timing since the Moro Islamic Liberation Front chose their name.

#7  Respectfully disagree

This is edgy

Said above is lazy and should never have made it out of committee. My art teacher would have called it bloody finger smears from some bad horror flick; which would be an accurate appraisal nevermind the unfortunate happenings in Libya.
