87 Year Old Man Busted For 229 Pounds Of Blow

Detroit Free Press:

For attorney Ray Richards, it was a first: an 87-year-old man with muttonchops charged in a major drug bust. “This will be my first actual drug case where the accused is this old,” Richards said of his latest client, Leo Sharp. Sharp of Michigan City, Ind., was in federal court in Detroit on Monday after being arrested during a traffic stop near Ann Arbor. Police said they found 104 kilograms, or 229 pounds, of cocaine in his pickup. That’s at least $2.9 million worth of cocaine in wholesale value, police said. In court, Sharp did not offer a full explanation about what happened. But at one point, he tried telling U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark Randon that he was forced at gunpoint to haul the cocaine, until his lawyer stepped in and advised him to just answer the judge’s questions. Richards said this was Sharp’s first time in the federal court system, and his client likely was confused by the questioning. According to Richards, Sharp, who is married with children, works full-time growing legitimate, exotic plants for a horticulture company in Indiana. According to court records, a state trooper pulled Sharp over on I-94 near Ann Arbor on Friday for following too closely and improper lane use. The trooper asked Sharp for permission to search his vehicle, but Sharp refused. That’s when Apollo, a drug-sniffing dog, was called to the scene and found the cocaine stashed in black bags in the bed of his pickup, records show. Sharp is charged with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute cocaine. If convicted, he could be sentenced to at least 10 years in prison. “A cocaine seizure that rises to the level of 100 kilograms would be considered significant,” said Rich Isaacson of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. Sharp, who was released on bond, said he wants to write a book about his ordeal. 

 

Can’t wait to hear this guy’s story. I’ve seen a few episodes of ‘Breaking Bad’ and that’s all I could think of while reading this. He’s probably got some huge lab that he’s making all this shit in with naked hookers weighing everything out. Grandpa Ray bumped a few lines out before transfer and before he knows it he’s pulled over for ‘following too closely’. Always seems to be something this dumb you get busted for and now he’s gonna be spending the rest of his short life behind bars writing about it.

MTA Plans To Rid Subway Of Trash Cans To Solve Rat Problem, Wait What?

It seems ironic: to cut down on trash on subway platforms, the MTA is considering trashing garbage cans. The cash-strapped agency may remove all the cans from some platforms if everything goes well with a test-run underway at two stations. The MTA is banking on riders to take their trash with them, or simply bring less of it. If the pilot program — which began two weeks ago at the 8th Street N/R station and Flushing/Main Street No. 7 station — is successful over the next two months, it could roll out to other stations. “It’s just an experiment to see how much we can reduce the amount of refuse that we pick up,” said John Gaito, the MTA’s vice president and chief officer for subways. “We expect people to bring garbage, but we’d like them to bring less food. … Food attracts rodents.” The test is being done in response to the agency’s difficulty picking up the approximately 8,820 garbage bags each day across the system, Gaito said during Monday’s transit committee meeting. Eight trains and six trucks haul away trash each day at an annual cost of approximately $32 million, but refuse trains still miss one-in-three scheduled stops because they’re filled up or running late. The station cleaner at the 8th Street station likes the lack of trash bins, Gaito noted, but the cleaner at Main Street isn’t a fan because he has to personally tidy up after straphangers. “We don’t mind picking up things like newspapers,” Gaito said, adding they account for nearly half of all garbage collected. “We’d prefer papers instead of food.” Transit advocates and straphangers were left scratching their heads when they were told about the experiment.

I was never great at math in school but someone please correct me if I’m wrong. Garbage cans + subway = rat problem. No garbage cans + subway = no rat problem? But where does the garbage go then? Oh, on the tracks and on the actual subway cars themselves. Got it. Here is the line that you gotta love if you are a daily commuter: “The MTA is banking on riders to take their trash with them, or simply bring less of it.” Sometimes I’m just not sure if the people of MTA have ever actually been in the subway. On what planet do you think we live on that NYers will bring less trash into the subway because they are thinking ‘oh there’s no garbage cans down there I probably shouldn’t bring this with me.’ I’d love to see the result of your little experiment on 8th St. when people are being overrun and attacked by rats like those Cloverfield aliens.

And seriously MTA, if you’re so ‘cash strapped’ why the hell are you trying to install internet in the subways right now? Probably at the bottom of the list of things to do right now.

Urbanathlon This Sunday!

millertime31

Forget all those pussies who do Tougher Mud, or Ultimate Warrior Dash, or whatever stupid name is given to those races where people make it seem impossible because you have to run and crawl through a shitty forest.

Leave it up to NYC to host one of the most intense wacky races I have ever read about called URBANATHLON!

This race will have it’s contestants running through thousands of tires, climbing over taxis, over buses, and running through police barricades.

And to top it all off, contestants also must run up and down stairs at Arthur Ashe Stadium and Citi Field.  Which will probably look like the 6th inning of every METS game this past year, with their fans running towards all the exits.

I personally can’t wait to do this race, I’ve been training for 6 months and I am so ready…. And if you believed that, you should probably go play in traffic, because the only exercise my fat ass is doing this Sunday is going up and down my steps from my TV Room to the kitchen as I get another beer while watching the Bills game.

The Hot Chicks Of #OccupyWallSt???

I came across this video mislabeled “The Hot Chicks of #OccupyWallSt.” These are the hot chicks that occupy wall st?? No wonder they are accomplishing nothing. Everyone knows you need to get a bunch of smokes out there if you’re really going to send a message! And I don’t wanna hear about that inner beauty, hippie bullshit. Hey #Occupy, if this is what you’re running with you better get at least 1,000 more of these:

Side Note: If you REALLY think this chick is in Zuccotti Park for #OccupyWallSt you’re smoking more than the hippies occupying Wall St. Look at what she’s wearing and that pose she gives in the video. She’s 100% there for the media attention and hoping she gets noticed. She knows EXACTLY what she’s doing. Well I ain’t gonna hate and I noticed ya hun. Keep on keepin’ on!

Qaddafi Looks Great…For A Dead Guy [NSFW]

subwaycreatures

cbsnews:

Fugitive Libyan dictator Muammar Qaddafi was killed in fighting around his hometown Thursday, a top official in Libya’s transitional government said, citing reports from fighters who claimed they saw the body. Information Minister Mahmoud Shammam said he expects the prime minister to confirm the death soon, noting that past reports emerged “before making 100 percent confirmation.” The transitional government called a news conference in Tripoli, where Prime Minister Mustafa Abdul-Jalil could confirm the death. Past reports of Qaddafi deaths or captures have later proven incorrect, but an increasing number of Libyan officials have confirmed the news. Al-Jazeera TV showed footage of a man resembling Qaddafi lying dead or severely wounded, bleeding from the head and stripped to the waist as fighters rolled him over on the pavement.

I always wonder why when a big name figure dies in a foreign country, they insist on treating the body like ‘Weekend at Bernies.’ The idea is to show everyone he’s dead and you make him look like me hungover on a Sunday morning. The confirmation for me though is that second picture. Not sure if they plucked his eyes out but you’re just looking into a lifeless, soulless body. Anyway, did anyone catch that World Series game last night?

Is This Halloween Prop Racist?

Community leaders are calling for the removal of a Halloween decoration on a Brooklyn street they say is racist and insensitive to residents. The decoration which is described as a black scarecrow, hangs from a tree in the Fort Hamilton section of Brooklyn. According to City Councilman Charles Barron, the display which he describes as “grotesque,” needs to be removed and the individuals responsible for putting it up need to be publicly denounced. He is calling for its immediate removal. “The scarecrow is offensive and reprehensible not only to the Black Community, but to all those who have a history of persecution and, or have been victimized by lynch mobs,” Barron’s office said in a statement Wednesday. “The perpetrators of this horrific display are only acting out what they conceal in their hearts.” Barron along with other leaders of the Black Community were expected to hold a press conference Wednesday afternoon where they will call upon the leadership of the Fort Hamilton community and the City to remove the display. It wasn’t immediately clear who put up the Halloween decoration or whether the home owner is aware of the controversy behind the display.

Oh my God! Call out the National Guard! People are putting up Halloween decorations! Racist? Why, because he has dreadlocks? Take the dreadlocks off this guy and we aren’t even having this conversation. I’m pretty sure this dudes one hand is white and the other is red. Oh and by the way, if this were a white scarecrow do you think it would be a big deal? OK, OK the fact that his face is a little black and he has a noose around his neck might come off a little racist but come on people! I’m sure whatever this guy did he deserved it!

So About Those Crazy, Exotic Animals In Ohio…

subwaycreatures

cbsnews.com:

ZANESVILLE, Ohio – Townspeople cowered indoors Wednesday as deputies with high-powered rifles hunted down and killed lions, bears and dozens of other exotic beasts that escaped from a wild-animal preserve after the owner, Terry Thompson, threw their cages open and committed suicide. After an all-night hunt, at least 30 of the 48 escaped animals had been gunned down. As of mid-morning, officers were still hunting for a grizzly bear, mountain lion and monkey. Schools closed, parents were warned to keep children and pets indoors and flashing signs along highways told motorists, “Caution exotic animals” and “Stay in vehicle.” Thompson left the cages open and the fences unsecured, releasing dozens of animals, including lions, tigers, bears and wolves, before committing suicide, said Muskingum County Sheriff Matt Lutz. Authorities would not say how he killed himself and no suicide note was found. Lutz wouldn’t speculate on why he committed suicide. But Thompson had had repeated run-ins with the law, and Lutz said the sheriff’s office had received numerous complaints since 2004 about animals at the property.

 

I’m sorry but is that a full grown fuckin’ lion right there? Terry Thompson, didn’t you read about the lady who tried to raise an ape and it ate her face off? And that was just one animal! You’ve got the entire fuckin’ 6 Flags Safari going on in your backyard and somehow you’ve been allowed to have this all this time? Ohio, I just don’t get it. You did this to yourself. No one told Terry he couldn’t have these animals and look what happened. You’re just lucky no one was hurt other than Terry who popped his own head off. I couldn’t stop thinking about the Island of Dr. Moreau while watching all of this go down. Animals just teaming up to try to take over Ohio. I’ll tell ya we would probably be better off.

If I were an Ohio cop, I don’t know if I would be excited or scared out of my mind to hunt these animals. ‘Hey, grab your rifle and elephant bullets. We’re going big game hunting tonight! Tonight?? You mean in the dark? I think I’ll keep an eye on Jamal in his cell, but thanks for the invite.

 

 

Ashton Kutcher Is The Father Of January Jones’ Baby? Of Course He Is!

subwaycreatures

thesuperficial.com:

According to Hollywood Life, an Internet rumor is going around suggesting Ashton Kutcher is the father of his ex January Jones‘ baby because it’s pretty much a given at this point he either hates Demi Moore‘s vagina or it’s officially morphed into a Sarlacc pit as they are wont to do over time. Anyway, let me just shoot this rumor down with my extensive knowledge of January Jones if extensive knowledge means I dubbed her kid “Revenge Baby” and called it a day: If there’s one thing January Jones hates more than anything – I’m talking even more than not having a child out of spite. – it’s Ashton Kutcher. The guy spent their whole relationship telling her she’d never make it as an actress, except one of them is on the critically acclaimed Mad Men (For the sake of argument, just ignore everything I said about her in X-Men: First Class.), and the other just replaced Charlie Sheen on a sitcom geared towards people who like Applebee’s. And even if that anger manifested itself into a night of unprotected hate banging, I can almost guarantee January would’ve blown up his marriage to make up for all those times he negged her into the sack because I’m not sure if you’ve noticed, January Jones loves revenge. She shoots it out of her uterus.

Yes! I called it. Right after that slut called out Ashton I KNEW shit like this was gonna start coming out. It’s gonna be another Tiger Woods all over again and next up, January Jones. Ashton you better have Tiger’s PR team on hand cause shit is about to get ugly. Why else would Jones be so tight lipped about who the father is? In 5 years it won’t matter if we still don’t know cause the kid will look exactly like him, have a horrible acting career, and marry/cheat on a woman twice his age. The cats out of the bag Ashton!

The Chinese Have To Be The Coldest People In The World

Two years-old bany girl was crushed by Van loaded with breads and Light Truck and ignored by 18 pedestrians except aunt garbage collector after seven minutes later. Where Satus Moral? No wonder why their country is always hit by the disaster and tragedy that cursed by God

 

Unfortunately this video is real and people like this actually exist. I know Asians are bad drivers but how do you 1) not see a kid standing in front of your truck and 2) Once you run him over and your truck pops up, keep going? 18 fuckin’ people just walk or ride by including another truck that runs the kid over again! Come on China, you guys are suppose to be smart! I guess compassion, morals, and concern don’t fall under that category.

On a sidenote, great parenting letting a 2 year old stroll down downtown China on her own. They found the rag doll of a kid on accident when the aunt was walking home after 15 minutes. Unbelievable…
