Lame excuses #12

Arizona -- A 76-year-old man who was accused of forcing a maid to put her hand on his penis four times while the woman was cleaning his trailer home in Glendale, claimed 'Satan made him do it'. Yeah, right...

The victim reportedly said the old man made repeated sexual comments towards her while she was cleaning the trailer.

She said he tried to give her a hug, but then grabbed hold of her hand - forcing it on to his crotch instead.

And sure, why not blame Satan, or your penis, or alcohol, or "sex drive", or drugs, or your childhood, or your parents ... or the government. It can't be your own fault, now can it?

Lame excuses #11

Connecticut -- As a result of injuries he sustained from an assault in Stamford, a 78-year-old man died on February 22, 2009.

The incident which led to the tragedy occurred in a downtown parking lot, according to stamfordadvocate.com.

During the recent (June 2011) manslaughter trial, the defendant accused of punching and knocking out - a 6'2" and 200 pound, 49-year-old man - is claiming he acted in self-defense.

Yeah, right...

Unruly students

Georgia -- So, you're a teacher for special needs children and you're having a couple of unruly students in your class.

Two disruptive, teenage students refuse to return to their seats - what do you do? That's simple, you just pepper spray them.

At least that ways the solution one female Bibb County teacher used recently in her classroom, according to 41nbc.com.

This really makes me wonder if she was only having a permanent brain meltdown or simply had lost it temporarily.

At least it goes to show that a lot of teachers unfortunately don't have the skills or training needed to control potential violent conflicts and other similar problems at school.

Lame excuses #10

Australia -- A 18-year-old amateur boxer from Samoa reportedly tried to convince authorities he acted in "self-defense" when he savagely beat a 41-year-old blind man and knocked down his carer, before robbing the 30-year-old carer while he lay unconscious.

The victims had rushed to the aid a distressed woman in a Brisbane inner-city public toilet block on July 28, 2009, according to couriermail.com.au.

I guess his mother must be really proud of this good-for-nothing P.O.S...

Paramedics safety

South Africa -- Female paramedics in Durban Deep and Johannesburg are scared for their own safety - and it appears more than rightfully so after reading this news article by timeslive.co.za.

The work force has been promised the female paramedics self-defense training for more than a year and some has gone through that. But do they send the ones being out there doing the job...? Oh no - these knuckleheads send the managers. Yeah, you read that right. Smart move... Not.

One female paramedic said the panic buttons that the paramedics carry have never been used because they do not work. Her shift commander said the batteries are flat. Brilliant excuse, playing with people lives like that...

Spendid self-defense

Words are really not necessary - rather than this: "You suddenly don't look quite so tough with your pants around your ankles." :-)

"That'll teach you!"

How about teaching someone self-defense moves ... whether they want it or not :-)

In Louisiana, a university student was arrested for simple battery of another student, according to lsureveille.com.

The alleged victim complained to police that an 18-year-old fellow student, of Metairie, subjecting him to a "series of submission holds without his permission".

The suspect aggressor reportedly told police he was trying to teach the young man self-defense and had no intention of hurting him.

Lame excuses #9

UK (Scotland) A 35-year-old African man who attempted to rape a woman in Glasgow has been jailed for four years.

The man, who was caught on CCTV attacking the 35-year-old in July 2008 after she had become separated from friends after a night out, blamed the devil for his actions.

The man attacked the woman as she stood alone in a street in the city's Royston district. He was convicted in November 2009.

Not the brightest robbers

These two robbers are not exactly the sharpest knives in the drawer :-)

The two Gainsville, Florida men used a cell phone to imitate a gun in order to rob two women of their iPhone in two separate incidents.

They used a car registered to one of the men - and one of the victims was able to give police the license tag number, according to gainesville.com.

When arrested, one of the men told police the robberies "were a joke" and that they were taped to put on YouTube.com. Police reportedly found no video of the "joke" robberies.

One of the robbers also said he was going to return the women's phones by calling them, according to a police spokesman. "At which point, our detectives reminded him that he stole their phones, so he really couldn't call them," the spokesman said.

"Candy man"

California -- On Thanksgiving, a 49-year-old intoxicated man reportedly went uninvited to a neighbor's home in Sacramento. He then started waving a kitchen knife towards people gathered on the lawn, according to usatoday.com.

When the drunken intruder cut several peoples' clothing - one of them decided it was time to fight back. The man grabbed a two-foot-tall plastic candy cane lawn ornament to subdue the attacker until police arrived at the scene.

According to reports, the man with the knife was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. But here's a kicker: The guest who took up the candy cane was not arrested because it was determined by police he acted in self-defense.

Well, that was a surprise. I mean, he could have killed the poor knife-wielding dude with that horrible lawn ornament for crying out loud!

Lame excuses #8

Ah yes, the good old "just fell into my hand" excuse. Doesn't get any more convincing than this :-)

A certified nut-case was arrested after arguing with a security guard at a condominium in Ocean City, Pennsylvania around 3:30 a.m. on Sunday, according to mdcoastdispatch.com

The man was banging on a window causing it to break. He then picked up a large shard of the broken glass and tried to stab the guard with it.

The security guard told police the attacker tried to climb through the hole in the glass. The man allegedly lunged at the security guard with the large piece of glass and threatened to kill him.

He had "the wildest look on his face" and he was certain he would have killed him if another man he was with hadn't interceded, the guard said.

When questioned about the incident, the man acknowledged a piece of glass might have fallen into his hand and he might have made a motion toward the guard with it.

Like I said, I doesn't get any "better" than this.

Lured with free iPod

Luckily the intended victim was aware of the set-up - being able to spot this legitimate nut-case before things got terribly out of hand.

And I do really wonder if the defense lawyers really believe in the unbelievable dribble that some times tend to fall, like perfectly polished manure, out of their mouths?

Read and judge for yourself ... and weep accordingly. "Just a rape fantasy..." my a**!

Lame excuses #7

Yet another issue of "it wasn't me - it was Mr Pee". Who was to blame this time - some alien?

No sir. The evil force behind this guys action was none other than ... faith. Yup, you see it was bound to happen. As the man reportedly said: "(...) he couldn't stop and that the assault was bound to happen 'one way or another'."

Phillyburbs.com reports how this 55-year-old IQ challenged individual assaulted a 17-year-old girl as she stepped out of a shower at his home in Sellersville, Pennsylvania.

As he advanced toward her, he allegedly told her he "wanted to stop but couldn't". The girl begged him to leave her alone, but the man reportedly told her he couldn't stop and that the assault was bound to happen "one way or another," according to a criminal complaint.

What can I add to this - other than my urge to kick this low-life where it hurts the most?

One man, one plant, one plan

This is just too funny - and too stupid I might add... You just have to watch the video - it's hilarious! Oh, and if the video clip is gone when you get there, just contact me and I'll provide it.

A would-be robber enters a store in DeLand, Florida. And what is his weapon of choice? A palm frond :-)

I don't know if this works in the guy's favor or not, but anyhow his claim is $50. Well, at least he's being specific about it.

The incident ends when a customer chases the man out the door with ... a gun? No, a bar stool :-) Like I said, you need to watch this video!

More quick thinking

I seriously wonder what goes to these guys head? Do they think that flashing a knife, and attempting to rape someone is romance?

Story:
Philippines -- Police said a driver allegedly tried to rape a 27-year-old woman in his taxi on Saturday night in Quezon City (Manila).

The woman told investigators how she boarded the taxi at around 8 p.m. Saturday. Soon, all the passengers, except for her, got off at the Metro Rail Transit station in Kamuning.

"The woman was sitting in the back seat, and the driver asked her to sit beside him in the front," a police spokesman said.

When she did so, the woman said the driver showed a knife, and started to touch her breasts.

The woman said she told the man that she would go with him to a hotel if they could eat first at a fast food diner nearby.

Inside the restaurant, the woman promptly asked the security guard for help. The driver managed to run back to his van and escaped. Police believe that the driver also had victimized other female passengers.

Crying robber

This is just too funny...
A guy tries to rob a salesman - receives a fist by his intended victim, and takes off crying. Guess he went straight to his mum for comfort.

Story:
In Gloucester, a 32-year-old salesman punched a would-be robber trying to steal his laptop at around 2:30 p.m. on February 19, according to a police spokesperson.

The salesman was allegedly knocking on a door when the offender came up behind him and pushed him.

"The would-be robber then demanded he hand over his computer and mobile phone," the spokesperson said.

The intended victim punched the offender and he is reported to have run off empty-handed and crying.

Lame excuses #7

Here's one of the "best" (read: worst) excuses of "it was self-defense" I've read in a long time.

Story:
In Hellertown, Pennsylvania, a 19-year-old male was arrested by police after assaulting his stepmother, according to nj.com.

The teenager allegedly threatened to kill her. He punched and kicked the woman unconscious -- also kicking her down a flight of stairs. Why? Because the woman said she would call police when she discovered he was using her credit card.

The woman later told police she feared for her life because the teenager had been abusive in the past.

The "lights are on, but there's nobody home" stepson told police, "I took no chances" indicating he assaulted her in self-defense.

Police said the woman suffered from a fractured left ankle, which required surgery. She had a severely swollen left eye and damaged eye socket, which may need surgery, as well as severe bruising and a cut to her mouth.

Yes of course, the poor kid fought back in self-defense...

A sagging thing

Just came across this newsbrief from November 2005 and thought I'd share it with you guys. After all this is something I have hoped to witness a long time. In fact I think I'd be willing to pay quite handsomely just to experience it once.
What? Someone falling flat on his face as a result of the most stupid dress code ever: sagging - that's what.
This is the dumbest way to dress, bar none - and I've probably witnessed them all and worn some pretty daft outfits myself :-)

Story:
In Ferndale, Michigan, a then 30-year-old man stole several DVDs from a store and then attempted to take off on a bicycle.

When officers soon after found him in an alley, he tried to get away by foot. The only problem was that that his baggy jeans kind of got in the way.

His sagging pants dropped and tripped him. Police said the thief kicked off his pants and shoes and jumped a fence into a backyard, where he was apprehended.

Lame excuses #6

And so - in our quest to find all the daft excuses out there - time has once again come to blame drugs; after all it can't possibly be the perpetrator's fault, now can it?

Or - As winnipegsun.com puts it: "It's never their fault".

The Canadian paper is reporting about a disturbing case where a repeat, violent Portage la Prairie offender assaulted his girlfriend so badly, she spent five days in hospital.

And what did the judge do? Well, blaming the man's drug and alcohol use for starters. "He suffers from depression and was on medication at the time." Then she handed down a conditional sentence - house arrest (!) - for the brutal attack.

And this is from a female judge? Holly cow!

It should be noted that the 37-year-old man was on probation for an earlier assault against his girlfriend at the time of the assault, and had a court order to stay away from her.

The reporter (Tom Brodbeck) says, and I totally agree: "In my view, Justice Simonsen, you're completely out of touch with society."

Lame excuses #5

Today, in our series "It wasn't me - It was Mr Pee", we present you with an all too common tendency of blaming the victim: "She wanted it". After all we know it's never the perpetrator's fault, right?
Jeez...

Story:
A 27-year-old man allegedly attempted to rape a female leasing agent who was showing him an apartment in O'Fallon Lakes, Missouri, according to kctv5.com.

The man reportedly went to the apartment complex Sunday to inquire about an apartment. As the agent showed the man around, he blocked the front door and attempted to rape her, according to police.

The woman managed to escape by struggling and screamed for help.

And here comes the "I'm totally lame, and it shows" part:

This genius allegedly told authorities he had looked at the apartment with his wife the day before and "believed the agent was sending him signals that she wanted to have sex."
