Annals of Stupid Criminals #1,468,872:
A burglary suspect trying to evade Florida sheriff's deputies by hiding near a lake was drowned and partially eaten by an alligator, reports say. I hate when that happens.
The incident occurred last month. WFTV.com reports Riggins had told his girlfriend that he was going to Barefoot Bay, Florida, with a friend to burglarize homes in the community on the night of Nov. 12 and early morning of Nov. 13.
"Have fun, honey! And bring me back something nice."
Deputies responded after callers said two men wearing black were spotted behind homes Oops.
I guess it wasn't the kind of black that said 'We're from the government, and we're here to help.' Though as I typed that, it occurred to me that perhaps it was...
Neither suspect was caught that night, but Riggins was reported missing on Nov. 13. Florida Today reports officers searching for the suspects the night of the robberies heard "yelling" but could not determine from where it was coming. The alligator's stomach?
The Sentinel reports the other man with Riggins has been identified but is not cooperating with investigators. Calling all alligators . . . .

[CHANNELNEWSASIA] SINGAPORE: In a first-of-its-kind case in Singapore, a woman has pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting an underage girl. The catch: Zunika Ahmad had been living as an Indonesian man and has two wives.
Zunika, 39, pleaded guilty to seven charges on Monday (Dec 7), including four charges for using a sex toy to sexually assault her 13-year-old neighbour. Fourteen other similar charges will be taken into consideration during her sentencing.
It was only after her arrest and remand at Changi Women's Prison that Zunika was diagnosed with gender dysphoria, or "a strong desire to be male". Zunika had assumed "a role as a male to the extent of obtaining a fictitious identity and being married to females", a psychiatric report stated.
A CONSENSUAL AFFAIR
Zunika met her victim in 2011, when she moved into a flat a few units away from the victim, along with her two wives and a daughter. Zunika, who looks like a man and has a deep voice, presented herself as an Indonesian man to the victim and her family.
Zunika's wives were also under the impression that they were married to an Indonesian man. In fact, her first wife became pregnant after having an affair, but told Zunika the baby was hers. As she wanted to have a family, and was unwilling to reveal her true identity, Zunika went along with the lie.
Over time, Zunika and her family became friendly with the victim's family, and the now 16-year-old and her siblings often stayed over at Zunika's flat to spend time with the latter's daughter. Zunika and the victim subsequently grew close and developed feelings for each other.
Their sexual relationship started in February 2012 and continued for almost two years. Although the acts were committed with the girl's consent, they are still illegal as the age of consent in Singapore is 16 years.
AFFAIR ENDED BY GUILT
Zunika ended the relationship in December 2013 after feeling guilty over the affair. The abuse came to light in March 2014, when the girl made a police report after an argument with Zunika.
Several medical reports produced in court on Monday similarly concluded that while Zunika is biologically female, her psychological state is that of a male. Doctors also did not find that Zunika required any psychiatric treatment.
The only treatment necessary is sex reassignment surgery, her lawyer Ms N Sudha Nair said. The lawyer cited a psychiatric report by Dr Tommy Tan, which also found that Zunika's risk of re-offending is low.
Ms Nair told the court that Zunika intends to undergo surgery after serving her sentence, and continue living with her wives and daughter, who have come to terms with her transsexualism.
Deputy Public Prosecutor John Lu said the case is "so unique, I can't find a parallel for it". However, he urged the court to impose a sentence of eight years' jail based on relatively similar cases.
Ms Nair said a jail term of under three years would be fair, considering Zunika's unique circumstances and the fact that she is remorseful. According to Dr Tan's report, "Zunika had no wish to have her true gender to be discovered. ... She knows that if she had not committed the offences, she could continue living normally as a man".
Citing the complicated and unprecedented nature of the case, Justice Kan Ting Chiu said he would take some time to study the facts, and hand down a sentence at a later date.

[CBSNEWS] Attorney General Loretta Lynch announced Monday the launching of an investigation into the reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ... home of Al Capone, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel,... Police Department for possible civil rights and other violations.
The investigation comes as the police force is under intense scrutiny since the recent release of a video showing white police officer Jason Van Dyke shooting black teenager Laquan McDonald 16 times. The announcement also comes just ahead of the expected release of similar footage in another young black man's death at the hands of an officer.
Police reports on Laquan McDonald's death don't match video
Lynch said the investigation will focus on the department's "use of force, including its use of deadly force," as well as its "accountability mechanisms" within the department itself.
"We understand that the same systems that fail community members also fail conscientious officers by creating mistrust between law enforcement and the citizens they are sworn to serve and protect," said Lynch, who was joined at a news conference by Zachary Fardon, the U.S. Attorney in Chicago, and Vanita Gupta, the head of Justice Department's Civil Rights Division.

[MIRROR.CO.UK] A 91-year-old woman is believed to have suffocated during a sex game with a 49-year-old neighbour.
The OAP was found on her bed naked from her waist down next to a sex toy in Aveiro, 50 miles south of Porto, Portugal.
A married dad-of-two living next door has been enjugged Please don't kill me! after DNA analysis of semen recovered from the scene.
He was released on bail after going before a judge who was told autopsy results showed she died from asphyxia thought to have taken place during a sex game that spiralled out of control.
The death is believed to be the result of a tragic accident, Portuguese newspaper Jornal de Noticias reported.
The extensive genital injuries appear to have been caused by the object found near the body.
The neighbour who found her Ana Martins, said: "She was lying in the bed, naked from the waist down and with a vibrator.
"I noticed only two small bruises on her face, but there was blood on the sheets and a picture of her husband resting on her chest."
The victim, who was a widow of a sailor, was "very active" and "liked to make jokes with men" added Ms Martins.

There was a old lady of Kent
Who said that she knew what it meant
When men asked her to dine,
And served cocktails and wine;
She knew what it meant - but she went!

Sounds like something the petulant one would do right after the Presidential elections.
[ELUNIVERSAL] Not a single tent remains out of 50 tents that young couples and families used to set up in Valle Seco and Chocolate beaches in Higuerote, Miranda state, in the central-northern part of Venezuela. The site is not fit for staying the night, despite the heavenly evenings at dusk that can be seen from the boulevard.
Those resorts have become a desert due to insecurity. In this regard, Coromoto de Lara, who runs a kiosk of fish sale in front of Chocolate beach can tell quite a few stories. On October 12, she could not open her business. "How could I work if it was plundered very early in the morning? Some subjects came in through the window and took over VEB 100,000 (approximately USD 16,000) in foodstuffs, beer, sodas and snacks. Nor could I work on November 3 because they took all the fish stored in a freezer," she related.
Such experiences seem insignificant compared with an event that happened to a watchman of her store one year ago. He was stabbed 62 times because he refused to open the site to four subjects who tried to enter and steal.
"The morning after, when I was opening the store, I found the corpse. From that moment on, I have called several times the local police for it to enhance patrolling, but it has been useless. I also requested the replacement of lighting in Rotiball Avenue because it is in the dark, and that has made criminals to act as they please at nighttime," the seller said.
Downwards, Mariloren Liendo's restaurant is located. A couple of months ago, four subjects carrying long weapons submitted her and two employees, in addition to seven clients. "They hit the guests with the butts of their weapons and stole their purses and cell phones. They took VEB 40,000 (USD 6,400) out of the cash registers. I have witnessed multiple robberies against visitors. I have seen how they are robbed, at gunpoint, their cell phones and bags." These events have compelled her to work until 4:00 p.m., thus cutting her workday by more than four hours.
In front of Liendo's store, a couple of tourists were fishing. They live in Caracas and every two weeks they visit Chocolate beach. "Formerly, we would come and stay until 6:00 p.m. Then, we ate in front of the sea. Now, we come at 11:00 a.m. and leave at 1:00 p.m. We are constantly on the watch for fear of being attacked by any subject."
In the past three weekends, Cangrejera beach, visited by young people in 4x4 vehicles, has been targeted by criminals.
Last time, about 10 men carrying long weapons arrived in cycle of violences and stripped more than 50 visitors of their belongings. The news was spread in Chirimena town. Local residents blocked in a rage the accesses to the town. They caught three out of the criminals who were fleeing in a taxi and battered them to death. "We will not let criminals shoo tourists off," admonished José Carvallo, a local fisherman.
"Those who live on fishery and those who drive tourists to Caracolito and El Blanquito beaches are under siege. Criminals steal their cycle of violences, the money of trips and even the anchor of the vessels."

VEB100,000 (approximately USD 16,000)
Using the official rate of 6.3Bols/$ street rate is anywhere between 600-800 Bols/$. Talking about $22 or so.
[ELUNIVERSAL] Since 2001, attacks on opposition demonstrations or marches perpetrated by violent groups are well known. Throughout 15 years, with different names, these pro-government groups have attacked any expression that dissents from or opposes government's ideology.
They are known today as "peace collectives," oxymoron for gangs that usually act violently, threatening; they take over slum areas, squats, buildings from Mission Housing, communes, and even food distribution businesses.
The list of attacks is out of sight. Hundreds of deaths have been forgotten and their perpetrators enjoy impunity.
In this last electoral campaign, at least seven attacks on opposition electoral events have been recorded, and several sites of opposition parties have been set on fire or assaulted.
One of the latter events happened in Petare (east Caracas). There, gangs assaulted a convoy led by opposition candidate to the National Assembly (AN), Miguel Pizarro. Photographs and videos recorded gunnies with rifles and guns openly exposed in front of the crowd that was there. Several of these men wore the usual red shirts and hoods. One of them was seen unhooded and his face was seen clearly. However, denial ain't just a river in Egypt... until now, no authority has reacted against this gang, which allegedly acts on the area.
Other electoral campaign events, where opposition leaders, namely: María Corina Machado, Lilian Tintori or Henrique Capriles have taken part, have been attacked and assaulted by these pro-government gangs.
The murder of Democratic Action party (AD) secretary general Luis Manuel Díaz in Guárico, on November 25, cannot be dissociated from this kind of violent actions that have set foot in the country, ever since late President Hugo Chavez took office.
Pro-government reactions that accuse the victim, Díaz, of being a criminal and having a wide police dossier, are bizarre.
On one hand, this suggests that the victim was guilty for his own death, because he was a criminal. On the other hand, authorities cannot explain why, if he was a "convicted and confessed" delinquent, he did have full freedom.
A strange fact of this case: if it was a scores settling between union mafias, why was the murder perpetrated from a moving car in a political act where there were important opposition leaders? Why not look for another time when the assassinated leader was alone and with no witnesses?
President Nicolás Maduro, going beyond, stated something different by saying that the opposition is paying USD 50,000 to perpetrate these attacks and murders. However, denial ain't just a river in Egypt... as usual, there are no evidences or proofs presented. In short, it is being suggested that the opposition is paying thousands of dollars to attack its own members.
Authorities identified a gang member of "Los Plateados," which operates in Guárico state, as the perpetrator. Like the "Picure" gang, these criminals act unpunished in the area. From time to time, authorities announce their dismantling. What lies beneath these criminal gangs? Why do authorities fail to eliminate them?
These attacks bear a common seal and signature, which is fueled by intolerance. This is the case specially in a time when the economic and political machinery of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), formerly regarded as invincible, looks today morally and ethically on a downward spiral, as well as speechless in front of its rank and file members.

[Daily Caller] Norway is offering asylum seekers a chunk of money and airfare to leave the country and return home in an effort to deal with the migrant burden. Pay now or pay later.
Those who agree to leave receive a free flight home and the equivalent of thousands of U.S. dollars, reports the Independent. A family of four can get more than ÂŁ6,200, or about $9,300 in addition to airfare.
More than 900 migrants have taken Norway up on the deal and applied for money to leave, according to Norway's immigration department's return unit. The International Organisation for Migration (IOM) processes the applications and offers advice it tells the Independent is "safe and dignified."
IOM spokesman Joost van der Aalst says the number of migrants applying to leave is surging, with an average of 100 applications per month early in the year to an average of 230 in November.
