Judge Bans Mongols Motorcycle Gang From Wearing Trademark Logo

I thought that was a joke, but they ain’t kidding in the land of the free.

LOS ANGELES —  A federal judge in Los Angeles has barred the Mongols motorcycle gang from wearing or distributing its trademarked logo after authorities arrested dozens of its members in six states.

U.S. District Court Judge Florence-Marie Cooper granted an injunction requested by prosecutors Wednesday that prohibits gang members, their family members and associates from wearing, licensing, selling or distributing the logo.

Cooper on Tuesday initially limited the order to just selling or distributing the logo.

At least 61 members were arrested under a racketeering indictment that accuses some of murder, attempted murder and drug sales.

Facebook killer receives life sentence

A man who killed his wife over a posting made on Facebook has been jailed for life.

Wayne Forrester told police he felt "devastated" and "humiliated" when his wife changed her status to single a few days after she had kicked him out of their marital home.

Appearing before the Old Bailey, barristers explained how Forrester was drunk, and had been taking cocaine before driving back to their home in south London and attacking his wife, stabbing her to death with a kitchen knife. He believed his wife had been having an affair.

Forrester pleaded guilty to the crime, and will now serve a minimum of 14 years.

In a prepared statement, Forrester told the court: "Emma and I had just split up. She forced me out of the house and then posted messages on an internet website telling everyone she had left me and was looking to meet other men.

"I felt that I was watching somebody else attacking Emma. It was as though I had no control of what I was doing."

Kuwait 2008 Crime & Safety Report

This is an extract of a report from OSAC.

The Department of State rates Kuwait as low threat for crime. The incidence of crime in Kuwait City remains low. Of particular concern is an alarming number of incidents involving persons impersonating police officers and then assaulting victims, who are primarily third-country nationals (TCNs) and who are more susceptible to intimidation. Violent crime is primarily confined within the TCN community, which comprises the majority of the manual labor force in Kuwait: approximately two-thirds of Kuwait’s residents.Incidents of harassment and road rage, although infrequent, do occur and appear to be on the rise. Females have reported being occasionally accosted or harassed by Arab or South Asian males, particularly while driving alone in the early morning or late night hours. I for one question the accuracy of this report, read it and give your feed back. Click here.

Mom and son barbecue grandma's remains

A 50-year-old woman and her 30-year-old son in Corning, California have been accused of barbecuing the remains of Ramona Allmond, their 84 year old mother/grandmother.  The creepy, kooky and altogether ooky pair also allegedly cashed her social security and retirement checks after she died.  More specifically, after they CREMATED HER ON A BARBECUE.
Although the cause of Ramona Yolanda Allmond's death may never be known, her daughter and grandson allegedly allowed her body to lie on the bedroom floor for a week until moving it to a concrete culvert behind their residence, Hosler said.
The culvert had been used by the family as a makeshift barbecue, he said, noting that the family had used it to cook their Thanksgiving turkey several weeks before Allmond's death.
It's not known if they used it after the alleged cremation.
EWWW!!!!

Help find Madeleine

  Madeleine Mc Cain was abducted on 3rd May 2007 in Praia da Luz, Portugal, 9 days before her 4th birthday. She was taken from our holiday apartment where she was sleeping with her younger brother and sister whilst we were dining 50 yards away. Despite a massive investigation led by the Portuguese police and supported by the British police, we still do not know who has taken her, why she was taken or where she is. In addition, private investigators based in Spain are now following up any leads regarding Madeleine’s disappearance.

Hello, since do we live our 4 years old alone, to dine out. Not even 5 meters away, sadly this is the sad truth when our pleasure obscures our ability to set priorities. Now the chocking part although 1000's of children are abducted every year, what makes this case special, is it because she is British and abducted abroad, it seems a lot conspiracy theories are floating around the parents involvement, as Madeleine blood was discovered in their car. And now this sad story has turned out to a circus as the website for Madeleine has an online store.

Does it pay to help others?

Does it really pay to be a good Samaritan these days? After reading this article, the question that pops in my mind would I step in to help others in distress, even if my life is in danger? Please respond to the poll after reading the article.

The family of a banking executive who was beaten to death after confronting a gang of men he had seen attacking a young couple said that he had paid the “ultimate price” for being a good citizen.

Frank McGarahan, 45, the chief operating officer of Barclays Wealth, who was in charge of assets worth £133 billion in 20 countries, had approached the men who had assaulted a homeless Lithuanian man and his girlfriend.

Police said that there was an “exchange of words” before the men launched an attack on Mr McGarahan. They knocked him to the ground and then continued to kick and punch him.

He was taken to hospital after paramedics tried to revive him but he died on Monday after the assault in the early hours of Sunday morning. Three men were arrested by officers who are investigating the killing.

Teenager survives after knife plunged five inches into skull

A combo of two undated X-ray images released on September 30, 2008 by the London Metropolitan Police show a teen with a knife lodged in his head.

Adam Fresco, Crime Correspondent

These X-ray images show how a 16-year-old boy narrowly escaped death when a 5in knife was plunged into his head during an attempted street robbery.

The teenager and two other young men were injured when they tried to stop a friend being robbed at a bus stop in Walworth, southeast London, in November last year.

The boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was taken to hospital with the knife still in his head. After a delicate operation he has made a good recovery and has started college, although he still needs hospital checks. His attacker, a 17-year-old, who also cannot be named, was convicted of attempted murder and grievous bodily harm by Inner London Crown Court last week.

I have to say this is one amazing recovery, the more amazing part is how could the attacker manage to insert a knife in the skull.
