"Once patrol got there they found the two subjects upstairs with the victims in the bedroom," Schraut said. "They were starting to duct tape the victims up, the one child had duct tape in her hair still when we got there. They threw their guns down and gave up." Detectives tell us they don't know why the two men targeted that particular home, saying...

Replied the police dispatcher, "[n]o there is not . . . let me get someone to check that area to see if we can find 'em because there is no such law here." . ....

BEDFORD, Ohio - An Ohio man who argued with his grown son over a messy bedroom says he overreacted when he called 911. Andrew Mizsak called authorities Thursday after his 28-year-old son — who's a school board member in the Cleveland suburb of Bedford — threw a plate of food across the kitchen table and made a fist at him when told to clean his room. The son, also named Andrew, lives in a room in his parents' basement.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Authorities said two men called 911 after they were robbed at gunpoint while trying to buy 20 pounds of marijuana. The Volusia County Sheriff's Office reported that the men went to a home Monday with $12,000 to buy the drugs. Two men at the home jumped them, took their money and drove off. A report said the victims jumped in their own vehicle to follow and one of them called 911 for help.

The father said he overreacted. And who can blame him when the son is 28 years old. But that's not the best part. The son is also a school board member and a budding Democrat politician who lives in his parent's basement. It's odd enough that a Bedford father would actually call police after arguing with his son about cleaning his room. Stranger still, the sloppy son is 28 years old and serves on the Bedford School Board. "I know this looks bad," said School Board member Andrew Mizsak, who lives with his parents and also works as an independent...

The White House says an inquiry will take place into a photo-op that happened Monday over New York City. The cost of the photo-op is now more than $300,000. I still find it hard to believe that President Obama, Rahmbo, Robert Gibbs et. al. had no idea this stunt was planned. It's like Johnny Cochran's "Chewbacca Defense". Chewbacca is a wookie, but he lives on Endor (home of the Ewoks); it just doesn't make sense. The price includes over $35,000 in jet fuel. I demand the White House pay a "cap-and-trade" tax on these carbon emissions.
