[MIAMI.CBSLOCAL] LAUDERDALE LAKES - Authorities are on the look-out, and asking the public for help, in finding two suspects who robbed a couple of priests at a church in Lauderdale Lakes.
Father Lesly Jean, according to Broward Sheriff's Office, was taking a fellow priest on a tour of St. Helen Church in Lauderdale Lakes on July 18th around 10 p.m.
"You've definitely hit a new low when you'll rob two priests in front of a church and have no remorse about it," said Keyla Concepcion of BSO. The remorse part comes when they're being sentenced, always assuming they're sentenced. First y'gotta catch 'em.
While walking southbound on Northwest 31 Avenue, the father noticed two men but didn't think much of their presence. "Hmmm... Two armed thugs. Probably on their way home to eat a bag of Doritos..."
The two suspects were caught on surveillance walking past the church and then prowling around the area. Four minutes later, they walk back toward the church and jump over the fence to confront the priests in the parking lot.
After asking the priests if they knew the location of the nearest bank, one of the suspects then whipped out a rod and pointed it at the victims. "Stick 'em up, priests!"
One of the priests refused to get down, or hand over his belongings, and told the suspect "shoot me." "Huh?"
"Shoot me."
"Shoot you?"
"Go on. Pull the trigger."
"Take your finger out of the barrel."
Fortunately he was not hurt. "Okay. I won't shoot you. I promise. Now take your finger out of the barrel."
[TUG!] "I think it's stuck. Could you give it a little twist?... Ow! Not that hard!"
[POP!]
"Luckily in this instance nothing happened to him but it's definitely not something we would recommend. It's not worth you challenging an armed man and potentially losing your life over just a few belongings," said Concepcion.
The priests were robbed at gunpoint of their cell phones, money and other valuables. The suspects then jumped back over the fence. "Gimme yer stuff!"
"Okay."
"That's it? You got nothin' else?"
"Sorry. Nobody carries much cash anymore."
"And they don't pay us a lot, son."
The video captured the suspects, after the robbery, running towards the camera where an SUV was backed into a parking spot. The two men jumped in the backseat, and the car sped away. "Go!"
[SCREECH! SMASH!]
"Go front! Forward!"
[SCREECH!]
BSO describes the suspects as two black males. One suspect is about 5'7" tall and approximately in his late 20s or early 30s. His accomplice is about 6' tall, fat heavy-set and was wearing a black shirt with a white stripe. "C'mon, Fats! Hurry it up!"
"I'm comin'! I'm almost [POP!] in! There!"
The driver of the getaway car, at one point in the video, gets out and walks around the passenger side. She is described as hawg fat heavy-set, with hair down to the small of her back. She was wearing long pants, a dark-colored shirt and a white cardigan or sweatshirt.

What a hoot. I should be paying you people. But I couldn't afford what the sanity-reinforcement y'all provide here is worth. Priest vs. thug played out differently back in the '90s at (IIRC) Peter and Paul in New Orleans. I'm confused by my inability to google details just now, but the pastor was gunned down while walking his little dog near the church. Guy on bike seen. Thought to have been a robbery attempt. Sucks if something like that has really fallen through the historical cracks. Of course everyone who was anyone in NOLA was getting plugged by robbers during that stretch, so I guess it's possible.
WASHINGTON - A 26-year-old Virginia man charged with bigamy has been married simultaneously to a sailor in Norfolk and a woman living in the City of Fairfax, police say. Better than posing as two women married to a sailor, which would probably make an intriguing sea story, as well as being legal.
David Jin Lee of Williamsburg, Va., is accused of posing as a CIA agent to cover up his two wives. With a name of 'Jin' he must have some redeeming qualities.
NBC Washington reports he asked his Norfolk wife for money after saying he had been captured and tortured by agents from North Korea during a mission. And there I was, catching the slug line out of Pyongyang. I was very lucky.
City of Fairfax police say they searched the Fairfax home with NCIS investigators and found evidence that led them to charge Lee with bigamy, forgery of a public document and uttering of a public document. All of those charges are directly related to a marriage license that police say was issued in Fairfax.
NBC Washington reports NCIS investigators seized a CIA coin, gun and items -- including a laminating machine -- that could have been used to make CIA badges. Slapping the bar with that coin, always bad juju.
Bigamy is a Class 4 felony in Virginia. It carries a penalty of 2-10 years in prison and up to $100,000 fine.
City of Fairfax Police say Lee was arrested by NCIS in Williamsburg this week on other charges, and he is currently being held in jail. NCIS won't comment on an ongoing investigation. Never forget to repay money borrowed from a sailor.

re #2: I am sure now that gay marriage has effectively been legalized, it won't be all that long before people (Muslims, old fashioned Mormons, etc.) start clamoring to legalize polygamy. After all, if a guy can marry his boyfriend, why should I be denied the right to marry my girlfriend, just because I happen to be married to my wife?

A Texas woman who's 911 call led to a police shooting is now facing a lawsuit from one of the responding officers.
A deputy injured at the scene says the woman failed to warn police how dangerous the situation was.
The call was made in December in Harris County, but Deputy Braden Pullen says when he arrived the suspect was belligerent, high on bath salts, and assaulted Definition: At Common Law, an intentional act by one person that creates an apprehension in another of an imminent harmful or offensive contact.
him.
Deputy Pullen is now suing the homeowner who called 911 for alleging that she did not adequately warn others of how dangerous the man was. Pullen's attorney says he suffered injuries because of the homeowner's negligence and failure to inform emergency workers of the man's potential for violence. I'm a thinkin' the 911 dispatcher would be a co-conspirator or at least also negligent. Double ka-ching!
Officials say this should not stop other people from calling their attorneys before calling 911 during emergencies.
"Every day we have servant leaders who are responding to calls from the community. Continue to call us if you need the help, and we'll be there Press "1" for slightly threatening, Press "2" for moderately threatening, etc.
And we'll be there to help," says Harris county Sheriff Adrian Garcia.
Sheriff Garcia also says deputies are trained to expectand be apprehensive of dangerous circumstances when they arrive to the scene.

Idiot, risk comes with the oath and the uniform. GTFO if you don't understand that and prepare for it.
Just like the police are under no duty to protect you (per the Supreme Court IIRC), we should be under no duty to warn the police of exact details. All she has to say is "I was unaware of just how violent he could get", case dismissed. Officer paying lawyer and court costs out of his own pocket, as well as paying the defendant for time used defending and attending to this frivolous case. Homeowners insurance will see to that since they are probably the one on the hook for the money.

...we have servant leaders...
I did not know we had those in Texas.
I suppose I should pay more attention.
I did not know I was considered a servant.
Maybe he meant Savant Lenders? Serpent Benders? Sycho Lawyers? Now I know we have those!
[An Nahar] Lightning and flash floods have killed 50 people in Yemen since Friday, including 27 who died when a torrent washed away a wedding convoy, local officials said Saturday.
Storms have battered the Arabian Peninsula country since Friday, triggering flash floods in several areas that killed 41 people, while nine others, including a soldier, were struck by lightning and died.
The wedding convoy was travelling Friday through Wadi Nakhla, in the Taiz province, 260 kilometers (166 miles) south of Sanaa, when it was swept away by a torrent, a local official said on Saturday.
Three women and four children were among the dead.
Twelve bodies were also found in Udayn district, in the central province of Ibb but many motorists are still missing after their cars were carried away by floods, another official said.
Two women were also killed in flash floods in northern provinces, local officials said.

In a news conference on Thursday, the two-time Olympic gold medalist supported the Russian law and criticized two Swedish competitors for their rainbow-colored fingernails in support of gay rights.
"If we allow to promote and do all this stuff on the street, we are very afraid about our nation because we consider ourselves like normal, standard people. We just live with boys with woman, woman with boys,'' she said.
But on Friday, after her comments attracted international attention, Isinbayeva said (in an amazing metamorphosis of message-cadence )
"English is not my first language, and I think I may have been misunderstood when I spoke yesterday.''
"What I wanted to say was that people should respect the laws of other countries, particularly when they are guests. I respect the views of my fellow athletes, and let me state in the strongest terms that I am opposed to any discrimination against gay people,'' she said in a statement released by local organizers of the championships. Uh,oh....the "ka-ching" meter must have twitched a little towards the minus side....

What's this boys with wymen stuff, reeks of kinky ageism.

[An Nahar] Turkmenistan's president announced Saturday he was stepping down as leader of the ruling party while he remained in office to promote a multi-party system in the isolated former Soviet state.
President Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov told a party congress that he was resigning as leader of the ruling Democratic Party, which he has led since 2006, because he wanted to remain above party politics, according to television footage broadcast Saturday evening.
"I am suspending my membership of the Democratic Party of Turkmenistan while I am president," Berdymukhamedov said.
"I also think that it would be useful for those who hold positions of responsibility in the government not to be members of a party while they are carrying out their functions," he added.
A government source earlier in the day had quoted Berdymukhamedov as telling the party congress that "the president of a country should not be a member of any party, so as not to create advantages for his party in a multi-party system."
Berdymukhamedov, a dentist by profession, took power in 2006 after the death of his father, eccentric dictator Saparmurat Niyazov, who erected a golden rotating statue of himself as part of a bizarre personality cult.
Berdymukhamedov also took over as Democratic Party leader from Niyazov. Formerly the Turkmen branch of the Soviet Communist Party, it was the country's only party for two decades.
Last year, a new law authorized the creation of a new political party called the Party of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs of Turkmenistan.
Both parties are set to contest parliamentary elections in December.

[Dawn] An expatriate shot down his teenaged daughter here on Friday who insisted on visiting Tokyo to see her Japanese mother there.
The incident took place in Parnami Mohalla, Karbala Road, in the limits of Fatehsher police.
Ijaz Gillani runs his business in Japan. He married a Japanese woman 25 years ago after she embraced Islam and brought her to Pakistain.
His wife shuttled between Japan and Pakistain. Reportedly, while visiting Sahiwal she would wear a veil as her husband was said to be a conservative man. The couple had two daughters, Hina and Hira.
Last week, Ijaz arrived in Pakistain to see his daughters while his wife was in Japan. Both girls were asking their father to take them to Japan. The girls were Japanese nationals because of their mother's origin. However, a good lie finds more believers than a bad truth... Gillani was not in favour of taking them to Japan.
On Friday, both girls had an argument with their father on the same issue. Gillani got enraged, took out a pistol and shot Hira in the head who was struck down in his prime. She was a first year student. Neighbours called Fatehsher police and Gillani surrendered himself to the police.

When I read the headline I just knew it had to be a Muzzie even though I couldn't figure out the nationalities involved.
Are there words strong enough to adequately describe how vile and evil that "religion" is?
[Dawn] A man killed his younger sister after finding 'love text messages' on her cellphone sent by an unknown person.
The 20-year-old woman, who lived in the Pyal village of Rawat, had recently appeared in her B.A. examination.
Police said after seeing the text messages on her cellphone, her elder brother Anwarul Haq, a taxi driver, asked her about the man. However, ars longa, vita brevis... she told him that she had never seen or met the man.
"Though she tried to convince her brother that she had not seen the person, he forced her to call the man to the house on Independence Day as he wanted to see him," Asghar Ali, a police sub-inspector, who is leading the investigation into the murder case, told Dawn.
He said though she invited the caller to her house, he did not turn up.
The girl's brother got provoked on Friday after he noticed that his sister was still receiving text messages and responding to the phone calls of the man.
"First, he quarreled with his sister and then pulled out a pistol and shot her dead," the IO said. He added that the police were searching for the alleged murderer who beat feet from the scene after committing the crime.

[Dawn] A mob vandalised a joint exhibition by acclaimed Pak and Indian artists in the Indian city of Ahmedabad, Times of India reported.
The show, which featured works by 11 Pak and six Indian artists at the Amdavad ni Gufa gallery, aimed to "showcase the development in art and artists of both countries for more than 60 years" but was cut short when over a dozen men stormed the exhibition and tore down everything from painting to window panes.
According to the Hindustan Times, the men were allegedly associated with the hardline Vishwa Hindu Gay Pareehad (VHP) and Bajarang Dal organizations.
Calling it a "mindless act of cowardice", exhibition organiser Ravindra Maradia said, "On the first day, a local artist did object to inclusion of works by Pak artists. But he was civil in the way he communicated his displeasure. I respect differences in opinion, but why this? Why should they damage an art gallery? They did not even spare the works of Indian artists. I have suffered a loss of not less than Rs 10 lakh."

[Dawn] A lawyer says a Pak court has dismissed charges against the holy man who had accused a young Christian girl of blasphemy and had been tossed in the slammer Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! for allegedly forging evidence against her.
Wajid Ali Gilani said a district judge in Islamabad granted his motion to acquit his client Khalid Chishti, ruling that the prosecution had not brought forward sufficient evidence to convict the Imam (holy man).
Gilani is the counsel for Hafiz Mohammed Khalid Chishti, the Imam of the mosque in Rimsha's area, who first accused the minor girl of burning pages of the Holy Koran last year and later gave police the burned papers as evidence against her.
Weeks later, he was arrested for allegedly planting pages of a Koran in a shopping bag containing burned papers and ash.
Chishti was later granted bail and released in October last year on a surety and a bond of 200,000 rupees (about 2,000 dollars) by the court in Islamabad.
The girl, who now has taken refuge in Canada along with her family, had spent three weeks in jail before being released on bail after the sudden twist in the case.
Moreover, The Islamabad High Court (IHC) in November 2012 threw out all charges against the girl after the episode had garnered the attention of local and international media.

[CBSNEWS] There has been 61 murders so far in Oakland, Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,. And with crime on the rise, some neighbors are taking extraordinary steps. When gummint ceases doing its job the citizenry must of necessity pick up the job. Just ask Charles Cora.
Gunfire has become so common on the streets of Oakland, Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, -- that even in neighborhoods that once seemed immune to the city's violence, residents are no longer shocked. But they'll continue voting Democrat, because there's no such thing as cause and effect.
"It's like, 'Oh, another shooting,'" said Jan Hetherington, who has lived for 14 years in the Oakland neighborhood of Maxwell Park. It's a place with glorious views across the Socialist paradise of San Francisco ...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964... Bay, neat houses and friendly neighbors. Referred to in the local papers as "a bastion of white privilege."
"This is the most wonderful neighborhood I've ever lived in," she said. "...except for the occasional dead guy."
Yet she acknowledged she has to bring in private security to feel safe. "Until I hired Thugmont, life wasn't quite perfect."
With budget cuts forcing Oakland to trim its police force by a third, Anybody remember when Bill Clinton was puffing and preening about how he'd pushed through legislation to "hire 100,000 new policemen?" They're not new anymore.
residents decided to pay themselves for private security patrols, which is understandable when you hear this from Hetherington. Watch for the guys in the hoodies. You end up in court, you racist bustard.
"A car came down the street, three guys got out with a gun. There was a shootout three blocks over. And I did hear actually a bullet went through somebody's house." You should send a strongly worded letter to Mayor Jean Quan. Or perhaps Mayor Ron Dellums can come out of retirement and fix the problem. Or his predecessor, now Gov. Jerry Brown.
That routine gunfire turned tragic last month. Oh, hold me, Ethel!
"Our neighbor Judy, who lived in the next block to me, was shot and killed," said Hetherington. "Oh, Former Mayor Brown! What shall I do?"
Judy Salamon, a 66-year-old dog walker, was murdered as she drove home. Who did it and why is unknown. Neighbors gathering at the spot where she died fear that if it could happen to Salamon, it could happen to anyone. They're a brilliant lot, aren't they? See how they picked right up on that?
Pastor Gregg Brown moved here nine years ago. Even he has been threatened at gunpoint, right outside his Lutheran church "I was scared and I'm still scared," he said. "I'm allergic to lead!"
The man with the gun complained about the noisy power washer used to clean the church sidewalk. Brown was told to stop or he'll be shot. "That's how close the crime is," he said. That's how much his life is worth.
Eighty-one-year-old Joyce Nichelini has lived Maxwell Park for 42 years. "I lock a gate now and I lock my door and I have alarms. I even put bars on my house," she said. Yet she acknowledged she doesn't feel safe. Perhaps because she's surrounded by the descendants (spiritual and otherwise) of the Sydney Ducks?
Other residents hope that when the private security patrols begin in a couple of weeks, it will bring a sense of security to a neighborhood most love too much to leave.

How dare she follow Rosie, Bloomberg, etc and all other gun grabbers who hire armed private security. Doesn't she know her place. That's an privilege opportunity reserved for the 'right' people.

If you have the money, you hire security guards to make you "feel" safe. However, a well armed and trained, and disciplined neighborhood would stop the Riff Raff Rat Club in its tracks.
Welcome to the future, urban Dem America.

This model is more like the original model started by Sir Robert Peel. It often seems we are "blessed" more with a securitate than police nowadays....

I'd be willing to bet that any reasonably intelligent adult could find a whole buncha things that they could cut long before the police force...but they'd all be racist/sexist/homophobic, etc....

Mike, you're correct, but then, big time Demo Donors don't get rich on police contracts.
[FOXBALTIMORE] As the number of street crimes committed in Baltimore City escalates, so does the level of fear. This has caused communities to look beyond the police for protection.
In Baltimore City there are four special tax districts where residents pay more to make their neighborhoods safer. Charles Village is one of them and has the lowest surtax of the four. It was formed in the mid-1990s as a way for the community to provide supplemental security and sanitation services to what the city was already providing. The surtax charged to homeowners has never been altered.
Baltimore's Little Italy community is one of the latest to seek to hire its own private security force, following the recent beating and robbery caught on a private security camera.
The added layer of security is an effective one, City Councilman James Kraft says. "We've had this effort undertaken in Greektown. We've talked about it in Highlandtown and we've done it during St. Patrick's Day at O'Donnell square. It works - it's proven and we want to implement it where ever we can," Kraft said.
Oftentimes it's the same people being paid to keep the community safe.
What a sweet deal. It's almost as if it's a plan...
"We have a program that allows us to hire off duty police officers and it allows us to get officers in neighborhoods where we have greater concerns," Kraft said.
