-Short Attention Span Theater-
Dickless wonder: "Maasai man in Kenya reveals all"
A Maasai man in Kenya has had his penis bitten off by his angry wife, who suspected him of adultery.
So what else is new?
Saloon Ole Mewet from Ngong in southern Kenya said his spouse attacked him in his sleep. "She bit me and removed all of it," he told the BBC's Muchiri Kioi.
Oooch! Ouch! I think I'll go lie down... On my belly.
His shouts raised the alarm and he was taken to a local hospital by his neighbours where he received stitches. It is an unusual admission, as Maasai men, who often beat their wives, do not like to lose face before their community. "If you do not beat your wife it's taken that you're a hen-pecked husband, which is not allowed in our community," Maasai elder Johnson Ole Sipitiek told the BBC's Network Africa programme. But Mr Mewet, who has reported the incident to the police, said he was so overcome with pain that he could not help but make a noise.
"Aaaaiiiieeee! My doinker!"
On the evening of the assault, Mr Mewet returned home at 2200 and was beaten up by his wife just after he drifted off to sleep.
"An' just where have you been?"
"Honest, honey, I... [Thump!]"
After hitting her husband and knocking out his front teeth, Mrs Mewet bit off his testicles and despite his struggles when he awoke, chewed off his penis. "I don't have a penis now," he explained, showing the BBC's reporter his wound.
I wouldn't have looked. Sorry.
Mr Mewet admitted he did have a girlfriend, but said he was at a loss to understand his wife's actions as she was aware that he had other girlfriends when they got married. "She knew that I had many girlfriends, and I don't know why she complained when I got another girlfriend," he said.
Maybe it was one too many girlfriends?
According to Mr Mewet, castration is unprecedented in Maasai culture, as there is no traditional punishment. "If you kill somebody you must pay 49 cows, even if you've removed somebody's tooth - it's one sheep. But this has never happened to a Maasai," he said.

#2  He should have given her a decent food. Lack of proteins might have made her take desperate measures. Did she go ahead and eat it or no. Thats the big question.

#3  "If you kill somebody you must pay 49 cows, even if you've removed somebody's tooth - it's one sheep. But this has never happened to a Maasai," he said.

"There's always a first time for everything."

Man Throws Baby Out of Car During 100 Mph Chase
Tue 14 Sep 2004 - 2:23pm (UK)
An American threw his fiancee's eight-month-old daughter out of a car as he fled police after being accused of domestic violence.
Can you say, "Instant attempted murder charges?"
The girl, strapped into a car seat, was unhurt but the man was later killed in a crash. Dana Bettin, 23, died, three days after the dramatic 100 mph highway chase in the northern US state of Wisconsin that ended when he crashed his fiancee's car into an unoccupied police squad car. At one point, he slowed down, opened the car door and dropped the baby in the car seat onto the road, sending it tumbling toward the middle of the carriageway. "As the baby was flying toward me I noticed that she was crying very hard and looked scared," Wisconsin State Patrol Sergeant. David Catalano said. "Fortunately she was seat-belted into the child seat so that as it slid forward on the highway and then rolled over she escaped without any injuries," he said.

Sheriff's Sergeant Dan Pamenter said the man at first tried to put the baby out of the car on the hard shoulder, but the car door was in his way. He eventually pulled back into traffic and pushed the baby out as he was accelerating. "His car was jerking back and forth," Pamenter said. "I didn't know what he was doing. He seemed to care for the baby."

"I was pretty certain he wasn't going to stop until he crashed," Pamenter said. The chase continued at speeds up to 100 mph. The pursuit ended when Bettin had a minor collision with a vehicle and then crashed into an unoccupied squad car. The car he was driving rolled over and he was pinned underneath. He died at a hospital in Green Bay.
GOOD RIDDANCE. ANOTHER MAGGOT SQUISHED!
Catalano spoke to the baby's mother and said the girl is going fine. "Her mother is very devastated about everything right now," he said. "It was her fiance involved and she's very upset."
wHO ARE THESE SICK F&%KS AND WHY DO THEY STEAL OUR OXYGEN?

#2  Not sure whether a Darwin Award's warranted here. Unless of course the girl was conceived with another man's seed....

Ah, nice to see there is still a little justice in this world.

#4  Saw this on Fox this morning. The guy slowed down a lot, almost stopped before he dumped the child seat and child out the door. Its not as if he tossed the kid out of the window at a 100 miles an hour. Still I'd say attempted murder if he lived, the bastard.

#5  rjschwarz, take a close look at the police cruiser video image. Regardless of speed, the child was deposited upon the roadway where other pursuing vehicles could have struck it. This is depravity on a disgusting scale. The maggot who did this could not die soon enough.

Posted by: Zenster || 09/14/2004 16:36 Comments || Top||

#6  Perhaps Zman, it also might have been his last decent thought... let me get the kid out of here anyway... no difference in outcome or motive... but humans are pretty damn complex.

#7  it also might have been his last decent thought

so he's got that going for him, ....which is nice

#8  Shipman, involving an infant in a 100 MPH car chase is pretty depraved to begin with, I fail to see anything "decent" about it. If this sh!tstain had pulled to the side and abandoned that baby on the road's shoulder, I might be able to believe you. I am forced to assume that the baby was placed in the path of pursuing vehicles in order to interfere with their attempts to apprehend this human skidmark.

#9  ok - let's all agree he's a worthless POS, but the cop car behind him was going like 2mph as was the chased car. Let's all also agree he got what was coming to him and happy the child is fine....bad move, good results
Posted by: Frank G || 09/14/2004 19:24 Comments || Top||

#10  Zenster, that is what I thought when I saw the police video this morning on Fox. The guy was hoping to slow down pursuit by dropping off the baby directly in front of the pursuing police car. Bastard.

Those baby carriers are very tough and designed to protect the child (to a certain extent of course) even when rolling over and over if the baby is strapped in properly. as I recall the straps should be just snug enough so you can get a couple of fingers between the baby and the strap. Every inch of 'looseness' gives the baby that much more room to slam around in during an accident (or being kicked out of a fleeing car....). Think 'shaken baby syndrome'.

Make sure your baby is properly strapped into the carrier. :)

#11  He died at a hospital in Green Bay.

Green Bay? He die from his injuries or being smothered to death with a giant cheesehead hat?

#12  #9 ok - let's all agree he's a worthless POS

All right, he is a worthless POS. I hope you're happy now, Frank. Harumph.

He die from his injuries or being smothered to death with a giant cheesehead hat?

I'd like to think it was with one of those obnoxious cheesehead hats ... liberally smeared with Limburger beforehand.

California Dreamin'?
Something You Can't Do in California...
Having sex with corpses is now officially illegal in California after Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a bill barring necrophilia, a spokeswoman said on Friday. The new legislation marks the culmination of a two-year drive to outlaw necrophilia in the state and will help prosecutors who have been stymied by the lack of an official ban on the practice, according to experts. "Nobody knows the full extent of the problem. ... But a handful of instances over the past decade is frequent enough to have a bill concerning it," said Tyler Ochoa, a professor at Santa Clara University School of Law who has studied California cases involving allegations of necrophilia. "Prosecutors didn't have anything to charge these people with other than breaking and entering. But if they worked in a mortuary in the first place, prosecutors couldn't even charge them with that," Ochoa said.

The state's first attempt to outlaw necrophilia, in response to a case of a man charged with having sex with the corpse of a 4-year-old girl in Southern California, stalled last year in a legislative committee. Lawmakers revived the bill this year after an unsuccessful prosecution of a man found in a San Francisco funeral home drunk and passed out on top of an elderly woman's corpse. The new law makes sex with a corpse a felony punishable by up to eight years in prison.

#5  It disturbs me that we even have a word for sex with a corpse. It bothers me even more that I know the word and that its taken until now to write up a law on the matter.

I guess back in the old days you didn't need a law cause noone would do it, or noone would complain when the offender was shot because 'he needed killin.'

Afghanistan/South Asia
Clan gets their man out "from police custody by force"
Relatives and accomplices of a drug trafficker beat up a raiding police party and got him freed from their custody late Sunday night in Ranjhai village, Daska tehsil. The Daska Sadar police team led by ASI Tariq Mehmood raided the hideout and arrested red-handed drug pusher Rana Muhammad Waris while selling narcotics. Police also recovered a big quantity of hashish from him. In the meanwhile, over 15 relatives and accomplices of the accused, including women, gathered there and got him freed and also thrashed the policemen. They also ripped to shreds the uniform of ASI Tariq Mehmood, snatched a mobile phone and Rs750 in cash from him and fled. On the report of ASI, the Sadar police have registered a case against Rana Waris and his three brothers Rana Ashiq, Rana Abdul Ghani, Rana Sadiq and 12 unknown accused, including women.

Karo Kari A Brutal Tradition from Pakistan
Two killed over Karo-Kari
JACOBABAD: Two persons, including a man, were killed on the pretext of Karo-Kari near Kashmore on Monday. One Qabool Sawand shot dead his daughter Mst Nooran Khatoon and her alleged paramour Noor Muhammad Soomro in village Qabool Sawand in the jurisdiction of Gibloo police station of Taluka Kashmore, district Jacobabad. The alleged killer fled the scene after the twin-killings. Police said Qabool suspected that her daughter had illicit relations with Noor Muhammad Soomro.

Karo-Kari is basically killing of a man and a woman who are suspected to have illicit relations. It is also a very sick way of killing in which axe is the preferred weapon. These barbarians also have another favourite method, if they owe you money they go home and kill one of the women call her kari and proclaim you as karo. It means that you have to be killed too, so you run like hell and they dont have to pay.
