Video shows bystanders ignoring hit-and-run victim:

Reason to Blow Up the World...

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - A 78-year-old man is tossed like a rag doll by a hit-and-run driver and lies motionless on a busy city street as car after car goes by. Pedestrians gawk but appear to do nothing. One driver stops briefly but then pulls back into traffic. A man on a scooter slowly circles the victim before zipping away.

The chilling scene captured on video by a streetlight surveillance camera has touched off a round of soul-searching in Hartford, with the capital city's biggest newspaper blaring "SO INHUMANE" on the front page and the police chief lamenting: "We no longer have a moral compass."

"We have no regard for each other," said Chief Daryl Roberts, who on Wednesday released the video in hopes of making an arrest in the accident that left Angel Arce Torres in critical condition.

The hit-and-run took place in daylight last Friday at about 5:45 p.m. in a working-class neighborhood close to downtown in this city of 125,000.

In the video, Torres, a retired forklift operator, walks in the two-way street just blocks from the state Capitol after buying milk at a grocery. A tan Toyota and a dark Honda that is apparently chasing it veer across the center line, and Torres is struck by the Honda. Both cars then dart down a side street.

Nine cars pass Torres as a few people stare from the sidewalk. Some approach Torres, but no one gets any closer than a couple of yards and no one attempts to stop or divert traffic until a police cruiser responding to an unrelated call arrives on the scene after about a minute and a half.

"Like a dog they left him there," said a disgusted Jose Cordero, 37, who was with friends Thursday not far from where Torres was struck. Robert Luna, who works at a store nearby, said: "Nobody did nothing."

One witness, Bryant Hayre, told The Hartford Courant he didn't feel comfortable helping Torres, who he said was bleeding and conscious.

And here I am thinking how could anybody not get out and help.

One point each for each assclown that was involved in the 'chase', another point for the assclown who actually hit Torres, and two points for the at least ten people who chose not to do anything. That's five. I don't know how some of you people will live with yourself.

2 accused in toddler’s dehydration death:

Reason to Blow Up the World...

MERIDEN, Conn. - Two family friends accused of depriving a toddler of fluid for a week as punishment for bed-wetting appeared in court Wednesday to face charges in his death.

Police said 23-month-old Amari Jackson died of dehydration while Sharon Patterson and her brother Robert Patterson were caring for him in February.

Investigators said glasses around the house were laced with hot sauce to keep the boy from drinking.

According to an arrest warrant affidavit, Robert Patterson told police that the boy cried for his mother when he began staying with him and his sister, but "towards the end of his stay Amari was crying for something to drink."

Amari was pronounced dead at to Yale-New Haven Hospital, where medical records indicate that he "appeared wasted" and had "sunken eyes."

Sharon Patterson, 39, was charged with manslaughter, cruelty to persons and risk of injury to a minor. Her 31-year-old brother was charged with cruelty to persons and risk of injury to a minor.

Amari's mother, Sara Hicks, said she has been friends with Sharon Patterson's daughter since they were 8. She said Sharon Patterson offered to care for her son for about a week because she was sick with a fever and caring for her 8-month-old daughter.

Sharon Patterson told police she had been drinking and smoking marijuana the day before Amari died, according to an arrest warrant affidavit. She also told them she had previously lost custody of four children because of drug addiction. Attorneys said in court Wednesday that she has mental health issues.

Even when you try to get help with your kids you're fucked. Damned if you do damned if you don't. But who in the hell doesn't know that dehydration can kill someone. Not only that but who the hell gets mad at 2-year-old kid for wetting the bed. He's two. That's what they do. Dehydration is one of the most horrible ways to go too.

One point for for the murder, another for putting hot sauce on the glasses, who the hell thinks of shit like that, one more point for being a drunk addict, another point for losing your own damn kids, and one last point for just being an all around stupid twat. That's five.

Detectives: Man Used Internet To Arrange Sex With Woman, 7-Year-Old:

The arrest took place in Florida but I'm awarding the points to Conn. because that's where this scumbag is from.

Reason to Blow Up the World...

LAKE COUNTY, Fla. -- Investigators say a father traveled more than 1,000 miles to Lake County to have sex with a seven-year-old girl and her mother, but it all turned out to be part of an Internet sex sting.

The man oversees a Hebrew school for young children and he's on the board of directors for a youth soccer league in Connecticut where he lives. Detectives said he confessed to everything before they brought him to the jail.

Lake County sheriff's detectives said 43-year-old Leonard Shuster caught a flight from Connecticut to Orlando International Airport. A deputy was waiting for him there and followed him as he made his way to Clermont.

Just before Shuster reached the home where he thought he was meeting a 32-year-old mother and her seven-year-old child, he was pulled over and arrested.

"From day one, the talk was exactly to what he wanted. It would not surprise me if he's actually done this before," said Det. Chris Loyko of the Lake County Sheriff's Office.

Did you ever notice how these predators become crying babies when confronted with the evidence? How do you explain this to your own children?

One point for being a fucking pedophile, another point for traveling 1000 miles to be a fucking pedophile, one more point for being a father and a fucking pedophile, a point for overseeing a school for young children and being a fucking pedophile, and one last point for being a fucking pedophile and probably having done this before. That's 5.

I hate fucking pedophiles.

Drilled dog's head

Police: Man Drills Into Dog's Head:
Reason to Blow Up the World...

PLAINVILLE, Conn. -- A man drilled holes in a pit bull's head as punishment for biting his son, police in Plainville said.

According to Plainville police, Saverino Cruz, 32, drilled several holes in the dog's head using a power drill after the dog bit Cruz's 8-year-old son earlier in the day. Plainville police said two brothers are being charged in the incident.

Police said the chain of events unfolded on Sunday when Cruz's brother, Enrique, the owner of the dog, was watching his nephew, Nick.

Baby somehow got out of a cage in the basement and bit the 8-year-old in the arm. Nick was rushed to an area hospital and was released a short while later.

When officers got to the house, they found another dog -- a 4-month-old puppy, police said. Both dogs were malnourished, unlicensed and not vaccinated, police said.

While we're no fans of pit bulls here at News of Doom these dogs deserved better.

Mr. Cruz may get his hole drilled where he's going.

Janitor Arrested on Sex Assault Charges:
Reason to Blow Up The World: I'll just quote the article...

A janitor at a women's clinic who purportedly ran a modeling agency was arrested on charges of sexually assaulting three teenage girls, including a 14-year-old allegedly raped while he claimed to be giving her an abortion.

Michael Britt told the 14-year-old, who feared she was pregnant, that he could perform an abortion using a cream, and sexually assaulted her under the guise of applying it, police said in court affidavits.

Hopefully this scumbag will be modelling in prison for his cellmates.

Ga. Man, Owing Debts, Shot Postal Worker :
Reason to Blow Up The World: The fact that some survivalist nut who worships Eric Rudolph wanted to escape his debt by getting sent to federal prison shoots am innocent postal worker. William Crutchfield shot postal worker Earl Lazenby seven times...

Lazenby was shot seven times, once in the arm and six times in the abdomen. A neighbor heard shots, came outside and called 911 as the 52-year-old grandfather lay in the grass of a nearby lawn thinking he might die.

When Lazenby came out of surgery hours later, he learned that he had suffered extensive damage — 29 holes in his colon and intestines, shattered bones in his arm. He would live, but he would never be able to digest food or produce insulin by himself.

All so this selfish bastard could be free of his debt. Once he's in federal prison debt will be the least of his problems.

We also have an Update of Doom to the 2/8/05 News of Doom II about the Idaho woman who scalped a 16 year old girl because she was “acting in a way that the adult perceived as being offensive to women as a gender”. Well the perpetrator, Marianne Dahle, 26, pleaded guilty, blaming the attack on mental illness and her drug addiction. No word on sentencing possibilities.

Stabbing victim remains in critical condition:
Reason to Blow Up The World: How about the fact that a restraining order did nothing to keep this scumbag away from the victim. It also didn't stop him from breaking into her house and stabbing her more than 20 times. Restraining orders mean nothing to psychopaths.
