A 71-year-old Man Tied a Gun To a Weather Balloon To Fake His Own Murder, Police Say

It's actually a really fascinating read. Could've been a mystery novel. For a non-paywall version that's a little dryer: https://www.mypalmbeachpost.com/news/crime--law/latest-gardens-man-staged-suicide-look-like-murder-police-say/gckUM9HanQtYvaNGbHZT4N/

The fact that it was a CSI episode is slightly disappointing, though I'm now laughing at the possibility that the police actually didn't do any detective-ing at all and just remembered the episode, but made up a better story for the newspaper.

I guess it still takes a while to connect the dots to the weather balloon in the first place though.

Uh not really. Unless it's homemade or something. It's definitely a bit thinner but it could easily pass for milk (especially skim milk) if you weren't tasting it.

I was definitely confused by the story at first because Blue Diamond is a nut company and as far as I know they don't produce anything made with actual milk. But then I realized they probably outsource the packaging process to some third party that puts all kinds of crap in cartons.

Man breaks into waterpark, steals funnel cake, melts ice cream, ruins summer


quote:

A Waterloo, Iowa man met his own, ah, Waterloo when he stole “an undisclosed amount of funnel cakes” from a waterpark while hiding his face with a bandana—a bandana he’s also wearing in “a personal Facebook photo.”

Per the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier, authorities are alleging that, in the early hours of July 6, 2018, Dylan Anthony Hoffert and three other people entered the Lost Island Waterpark. While there, they took the aforementioned undisclosed number of funnel cakes. They also left the freezer door open—who raised you, unnamed Waterloo residents?—a move that ruined “$300 worth of funnel cakes and ice cream” and presumably led to some crying children.

Nearly 13 pounds of a white powder seized in July in what officials considered one of North Carolina’s largest fentanyl busts was nothing more than flour, according to one of the suspects.

But additional lab testing has revealed the substance wasn’t flour, either, WECT reported Tuesday.

Nice try, criminal, but you aren't fooling...

"He says in his film that in the days following 9/11, he felt more like a minority than, say, a patriot. I’m sorry, but the paranoia in the aftermath of 9/11 was felt by everyone. It haunted us, and unless you lost someone in the collapsed rubble of the Twin Towers, you should dutifully remember that being racially profiled by scared white people isn’t that big of a deal in comparison."

Some attendees even decided they couldn’t wait until next month to start the protest, with multiple people uploading videos of them practising slipping on onions.


In solidarity, touring comedy group The Slipnutz staged a protest of their own:
