Naked Man Shocks Police, Police Return Favor
GREENVILLE COUNTY, S.C. — A woman called 911 Tuesday evening and said her 18-year-old son, who she believed to be on drugs, had been upset, knocked out a window, took off all his clothes and ran away.
Melissia McKinney, with the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office, said the woman said she was having problems with her son, and he was being destructive in their home.
Deputies found the teen naked who they said was “very aggressive.” They said he became irate and would not comply with their instructions, and they believed he was under the influence drugs.
Ya’ think?
Spartanburg County Alternative School Student Assaults Teacher During “Temper Tantrum”
The student is 17-years-old so I frankly think calling this attack a temper tantrum is a bit off base. Sounds like this “kid” needs to do a few months in the county lock-up to me. Of course, that doesn’t fit in with the teaching philosophy of the Spartanburg County Alternative School who describe themselves thusly:
We are a diverse and goal oriented group of students and faculty dedicated to education, character development and raising social consciousness. Our vision is to provide an alternative school setting where a diverse student population has an opportunity to successfully integrate back into the home school environment, GED/adult education, or into the workforce. Spartanburg County Alternative School is where

Uh-huh. If I’m reading this correctly, they’re preparing this “diverse” population for a life of living at home, getting a GED and maybe picking up 2nd shift at Walgreens. Shoot for the stars.
How does this goal oriented, diverse stable of do-gooders work to help their diverse, socially conscious stable of needy students achieve their lofty goal of perpetual impoverishment? With this simple yet surprisingly convoluted “philosophy” that sounds suspiciously like someone wrote it while reading bumper stickers in the Whole Foods parking lot:
It is our fundamental belief that all students are of value, and they need guidance to find and develop the positive qualities they possess. We understand that many will have histories of failure in the traditional educational setting. Therefore, it is our goal to strive to find creative approaches which will enable them to experience academic success that will continue with them throughout their lives. We are dedicated to offering a non-judgmental environment that will provide structured learning that is not rigid.
How’s that non-judgmental environment working out anyway?
According to a release from Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office representative Tony Ivey, deputies were called to the school on Lincoln School Road at 1:35 p.m. The call was in reference to an unruly student in the school’s gym, Ivey said.
When officers arrived, they witnessed a faculty member trying to escort Marcel Allen Kline, 17, to another part of the school, the release said.
The officer said he heard Kline shout a racial slur at the faculty member then kick a door, shattering the glass, according to the incident report. The officer said Kline then repeatedly kicked the teacher, the report said.
Kline was taken into custody and charged with one count each of assault and battery on a school employee by a student, disturbing school and malicious injury to real property.
He was booked into the Spartanburg County Detention Center where he is being held on a $2,500 bond.
I’m shocked, shocked, that teenagers would be so disrespectful to a bunch of mincing hippies who spent their time telling him to lower his expectations and not accept “rigid” and “judgmental” actions and attitudes from others. Why, it’s almost as if troubled teens need more structure and discipline rather than less.
But hey, I’m not the expert here. I’ll let the results of Spartanburg County Alternative School speak for themselves.
The faculty page lists three different teachers for something called “character education.” Is it safe to assume Kline wasn’t doing well in those classes?
Clemson Researcher John Huffman: Smoking K2 is Like Competing for The Darwin Award
The Darwin Awards are perhaps one of the most tasteless Internet memes, which explains the popularity of the idea. In a nutshell, the meme goes something like this: person does something stupid, dies in the process, and 30-year-old World of Warcraft nerds who spend their free time trolling Internet forums all laugh as they finally find someone they think they’re actually superior to. I’ve always found the glee at others’ misfortune to be fairly vile, but the term actually can come in handy when describing a risky and foolish behavior.
Like smoking a synthetic marijuana substitute you know nothing about but the creator of which claims is too dangerous to ingest recreationally.
John Huffman, the creator of the substance now being sold to your children in head shops by people who don’t care whether your kids live or die has been in the news recently trying to convince the morons that have been smoking his synthetic cannabinoid that they are putting themselves in danger:
“It’s like playing Russian roulette. You don’t know what it’s going to do to you,” Huffman said. “You’re a potential winner of a Darwin award,” referring to the tongue-in-cheek awards given to people who “do a service to humanity by removing themselves from the gene pool.”
In addition to the compound being made without strict quality control or any regulation, as far as anyone knows, the compound itself has never been tested on humans. And when it was tested on mice, Huffman said, the animals were euthanized at the end of the experiment, so scientists don’t even know how it affects mice long-term. “And mice are not humans,” Huffman said.
Doesn’t sound like the kind of thing you want in your body. So what is K2 anyway?
This K2 compound was first created in the mid-1990s in the lab of organic chemist John W. Huffman of Clemson University, who studies cannabinoid receptors. He’s not sure how the recipe for what is named JWH-018 (his initials) got picked up, but he did publish details on a series of compounds including JWH-018 in a book chapter. Even before that book came out, he recalls learning that in China and Korea people were selling the compound as a plant growth stimulant.
As for where it was first smoked or used as a recreational drug, Huffman thinks perhaps somewhere in Europe.
“Apparently somebody picked it up, I think in Europe, on the idea of doping this incense mixture with the compound and smoking it,” Huffman told LiveScience. “You can get very high on it. It’s about 10 times more active than THC,” the active ingredient in marijuana.
From a chemist’s perspective, that means K2 has an affinity for the cannabinoid brain receptor (CB1) that’s about 10 times greater than THC. For the less chemically inclined, it means you can smoke a lot less K2 to get just as high.
[...]
Since JWH-018 or K2 acts like marijuana, you’d expect to see the same effects, including sleepiness, relaxation, reduced blood pressure, and at high doses, hallucinations and delusions.
While some patients between the ages of 14 and 21 were showing up with hallucinations, other symptoms, such as increased agitation and elevated blood pressure and heart rates, didn’t match up with marijuana.
(Dr. Anthony) Scalza speculates either another compound is responsible for the nasty side effects, or the concentration of JWH-018 is too high.
Unfortunately we won’t know anytime soon because Dr. Scalza, a professor of toxicology studying an epidemic of emergency room visits by K2 users, is having trouble getting said stoners to consent to having their urine and blood examined.
Huffman has another interview in The Greenville News that has more in depth information on the dangers of this fake pot. Smoke it at your own risk.
Candy Marie King is a Moron
After being on the run for a few days the world’s dumbest check forger has been caught. Don’t be too impressed with the detective work though, Candy Marie King forged checks to herself using her real name:
Greenville sheriff’s deputies have arrested a 40-year-old Greenville woman who they say forged child support checks and took other checks that she wrote to herself.
Investigators said between Feb. 22 and March 5, King acquired the routing and account number of the Greenville County Family Court Child Support account, and manufactured illegal documents resembling Family Court checks.
Employees from Family Court found the discrepancies during a daily internal audit and notified the Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies said King made the checks payable to herself, added Clerk of Court Paul Wickensimer’s name, and cashed them at area businesses.
King faces three forgery charges related to falsified documents from to the Greenville County Family Court account.
King faces an additional eight forgery charges in connection to other incidents dating back to Sept. 24, 2009.
I’m surprised this took so long to come to light. But using her real identity to run a check scam wasn’t the only dumb thing she did:
Investigators said King obtained other checks belonging to two separate victims, one of whom she knew, and made the checks payable to herself, cashing them at area businesses.
They should give her extra time for stupidity. This scam was like robbing a bank by demanding the teller put all her money in your account.
Mother of the Year Almost Kills 12-Year-Old While Cooking Meth
Awful. Thankfully the child wasn’t injured but can we start sending our kids out of the house when we want to cook meth from now on? That would be great:
FOUNTAIN INN, S.C. — Laurens County deputies said that a woman was injured when a methamphetamine lab exploded early Friday morning.
The explosion happened at 443 Durbin Ridge Road.
Deputies said that a woman was dropped off at Hillcrest Hospital early Friday morning with burns to about 40 percent of her body, mainly on her arms and chest. They said the woman was flown to the Augusta Burn Center for treatment.
Investigators said that a 12-year-old was at the home at the time of the explosion, but was not injured.
Wolves would be better parents than this moron.
