corax posted:Small-town newspaper police blotter sections are always good fun. I worked for my college newspaper (and still get a free subscription because I was editor-in-chief), and the Security Briefs are always a highlight, although never that detailed. This year they've had three cases of somebody watching porn in the student center--on weeknights, when people are usually there studying or doing work. The first one was specified as "anime porn (hentai)." There's a long history of student harassment from townies driving on the main drag through campus, usually calling people human being or throwing stuff at students.. My favorite of all-time was "Suspect threw lollipop at victim from passing car; reported 11 hours later."

The newsreader was going through the story and says, barely pausing, "I think we have the wrong video". Or child obesity is getting really bad.

This was a plot point in a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode, except I think it was on the gravestone.

It really added a lot to the piece. I like that it's the Peter Capaldi Doctor so I can imagine Malcolm Tucker screaming at a dwarf with a mouth full of dominoes

Wanamingo posted:How's that happen, anyway? I'd think it was a browser extension that changes gate to fart, but if that were the case then it seems like it'd be investifartd. Started typing investigated, made some sort of typo that led to backspacing up to "investi," phone thought a new word was starting and corrected "gated" to "farted" after hitting a couple of wrong buttons. That's my guess.

Oh man, I got to copy-edit an amazing police blotter from the west suburbs of Chicago this week. All of these were real reports from the same town: quote:-A man told a preschool teacher he wanted to eat the children at Grace Lutheran Church, 200 N. Catherine Ave., it was reported at 7:26 a.m. Nov. 10. Police weren’t able to locate the man.
