Man Axes Blind Landlord For Evicting Him

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

"Do you want to die?"

If going postal is a term associated with a person losing their job, there needs to be a new phrase coined for the reaction of those that get kicked out of their home.

Milutin Vukmir, 74, after finding out that his landlord at the senior home was in the midst of evicting him, indicated through a 30-day notice, the man took matters into his own hands by attacking the woman with an axe.

The woman wasn't ready to see what was coming, mostly due to the fact that she is blind.

Approaching the woman outside of her building, Vukmir walked up behind her and proceeded to take some shots at her with an axe.

Left with two open wounds, the woman was rushed to the Kenosha Medical Center where she received 16 staples.

This wasn't the first instance where the tenant felt it necessary to use brutal force as he had used a golf club on the blind woman a week before.

When questioned by authorities, he stated that the woman deserved it as him getting evicted was her fault.

Vukmir is being charged with attempted homicide and his attorney has stated that he suspects his client suffers from some mental issues.

REALLY???  Would have never even guessed that.

Man Burns Down House Because Dinner Was Late

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

How many people have become disgruntled and irritated when they come home from a long day at work, expecting a meal, but find no food ready or even being cooked?

For Guy Edward Jones, 60, a missed meal from his wife resulted in him burning down the house.

He must have figured that he'd cook something if she wouldn't.

With reports stating that Jones had went out drinking, when he returned home to no dinner on the table from his wife Beverly, an argument ensued and his wife was reported as fleeing their home, probably due to the escalation of the heated debate.

After arriving at a neighbor's house, the wife could only watch as the house was slowly burning, watching flames burst out from the basement, with her husband coming out the home.

Detained for his act, Jones is being charged with arson.

On a lighter note, at least he'll know in prison that the food will be there on time.

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

With the tension in Arizona still intact, various hate groups have joined the battle in making sure that the immigration laws can keep “illegal aliens” out of their country.

These people just don't know when to give it up do they?

Having many perceiving Arizona as a state submerged in racism, what better outlet than this for skinheads, the KKK, Neo-Nazi and other groups to force their own opinions and push the idea of “white power”.

Check the video below.

And here's a nice, subtle response to those that feel like this "white power" movement will ever get anywhere.

Update: 44 Dead In Jamaican Drug War With Police

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

At least 44 people are feared dead in Jamaica as supporters of suspected drug lord Christopher "Dudus" Coke continue to lash out at police.

As previously reported Jamaicans in Kingston barricaded the kingpen's neighborhood with barbed wire and set cars and police stations on fire after hearing that Dudus faced extradition to America.

He faces charges in the U.S. with drug and arms trafficking and is set to be extradited after a 9 month delay where officials debated whether his inidictment was based on illegal wire tap evidence.

In retaliation, masked men went on a rampage with malatov cocktails and fire power leaving two members of the police force dead on Sunday and a State of Emergency declared.

Jamaican officials still do not have Coke in custody.

The U.S. State Department tells The Associated Press that it's “the responsibility of the Jamaican government to locate and arrest Mr. Coke.”

A U.S. Embassy spokeswoman also went on to deny rumors that U.S. officials were meeting with Coke's lawyers.

Jamaica has one of the highest murder rates in the world and reported 1,660 homicides in 2009 alone.

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

Since the announcement of the album and the singles that have followed for Thank Me Later, Drake hasn't really been in the good graces of the fans that heralded him as the next in charge.

With many making early bets and claiming that a million in first week sales would be easy for the Young Money rapper, those same are projecting lower numbers as the days continues to count down.

While some are in doubt, T.I. still has high hopes for the Canadian rookie and pitched his own figures, during an interview with Hot97, for what Drake will sell once June 15 comes and Thank Me Later hits stores.
