BECAUSE KIDS AREN'T GOING TO GIVE HIM ANY GRIEF WHATSOEVER
A school board in Montreal fired a teacher because he did not disclose that he had killed his wife. A court ordered him rehired on the grounds that the slaying did not, in any way, relate to his work.
NOW HONEY, YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU ... WHAP! ... CALM DOWN ... WHAM!
After drinking heavily for hours, a woman in Mesa, Ariz., went to her neighbors' apartment and engaged in an argument with them. Her common-law husband came over and told the neighbors to ignore her. The woman became enraged that her man did not take her side in the dispute, and, once outside, threw rocks at him. She was arrested.
OFFICER, THIS IS ENTRAPMENT, PURE AND SIMPLE
A man pulled his vehicle up next to a car at a stop sign in Tuscaloosa, Ala. He got out of the vehicle and fired a shotgun into the stopped car. Unfortunately for the shooter, an off-duty policeman had stopped right behind him and witnessed the whole episode.
A brief chase ensued.
