Army Worms Invade South Carolina!
A mighty army or worms is rampaging across the lawns of our fair state. Arm yourselves!
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, and I hate to be an alarmist and I hate to be a doomsayer. Unfortunately, today I am going to be all three. The Upstate is undergoing an invasion from a menacing horde. That horde is in the form of a little caterpillar called an army worm.
Army worms are about an inch and a half long and they have green and black stripes running lengthwise down their bodies. These caterpillars have voracious appetites. The fact that they congregate by the millions only adds to their ability to cause serious damage.
Army worms eat the foliage of grasses. They eat Bermuda and fescue, but seem to leave zoysia alone. They also have the ability to distinguish between weeds and desirable grass. Weeds are not part of their diet.
Perhaps the most alarming concern with army worms is simply the rapid rate at which this menace can completely destroy a healthy and beautiful lawn. The damage is literally done overnight, and it is becoming increasingly prevalent in the Upstate.
Today I looked at a large fescue lawn in an upscale subdivision off of Fairview Road. This lawn literally went from nice and green to brown and dead in a matter of 24 hours. To walk across this lawn gives one a sense of vertigo. It’s moving, like a mild earthquake is occurring. The movement is the slow, pulsating crawl of army worms.
That last part actually is pretty freaky. Anyone have video of that?
It’s time to declare a war on worms.
“Strange Man” Following College Girls Around at Clemson
Three different women called authorities when a man in a red or maroon pick up followed them. No one knows what he’s up to so I suggest women arm themselves (I suggest bear spray, it’s hotter than regular pepper spray and made to spray at longer distances) and remember this simply plan.
Never go anywhere with a assailant, no matter what. Even if they have a gun stay where you are and do not comply with demands to go anywhere else. In those cases he’s taking you to what’s called a secondary crime scene but you can just think of as where you’ll be raped and murdered. If he shoots or stabs you on the street you may survive. If you go with him to the woods or wherever he’s comfortable you definitely won’t.
Be careful out there ladies.
Degenerate Pervert Anthony Briggs Gets Life in Prison
Child molesters and their groupies always try to minimize their crimes by claiming two things which are completely untrue. The first is that children want to have sex with them. The second is that all perverts are not the same. While the first is patently false, sometimes people fall for the second.
After all a man who sleeps with a 15-year-old is not the same as a man who molests a 5-year-old, right? A child molester and a wife beater are not the same, right?
Wrong. As I have pointed out on other blogs rapists and perverts will molest a variety of victims and pedophiles are not “differently oriented” than the rest of us. They prefer abusing someone who is complying either through force or manipulation. It is the unnaturalness of the act and the power over the victim they enjoy, not the specific age. Thus often the man who has sex with a teen will molest a toddle and will beat his old lady. They will do anything evil to get their fix of domination over others.
Which is apparently what Anthony Briggs did:
A Chesnee man was sentenced to life in prison on Thursday after a jury found him guilty of sexually assaulting a young girl on multiple occasions.
Anthony N. Briggs, 26, was found guilty of first-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor and lewd act on a minor. He received a concurrent 15-year prison sentence for the lewd act conviction. Briggs is not eligible for parole.
A friend of the family reported the assaults to the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office on Feb. 2, 2009. The child, who was 5-years-old at the time of the report, described the sex acts in detail during an examination at the Children’s Advocacy Center, according to a written statement from the 7th Circuit Solicitor’s Office. Briggs was the live-in boyfriend of the girl’s mother.
Briggs’ criminal record includes prior convictions for driving under the influence, disturbing schools, grand larceny, criminal domestic violence, fraudulent checks and simple assault and battery.
Domestic violence, fighting, lurking around school and passing bad checks. Briggs wasn’t just interested in molesting children but hurting others, which all his actions were aimed at. In fact it’s probably the case that Briggs molested the child as a way to hurt the child’s mother.
Now he’s going away for life, which isn’t the execution he deserves but at least he’s facing justice. Let’s hope he meets someone just like himself in prison.
Rajesh Goginen is a Filthy Pervert
Rajesh Goginen did what lots of perverts do when lonely. He hopped on the computer and trolled the web for an underage girl he could lure somewhere so he could rape her. The Taylors resident found what he thought was a child but was actually an undercover police officer who seemed willing to be molested by this loser. Raj made arrangements to ravel all the way to Charleston to meet a little girl he planned on violating, but instead he was picked up by cops and taken to jail. He faces 30 years in prison.
It could have easily been a child though, which is why parents need to monitor their children’s Internet activity. I know it interferes with your bar hopping and childish behavior, but it’s really your responsibility to ensure your daughter isn’t raped and murdered by some pervert she meets online that is giving her the love and affection you aren’t.
Paul Kenneth Melcher is a Filthy Degenerate!
From WISTV:
WEST COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) – A West Columbia man was arrested Thursday in an Internet predator sting, according to Attorney General Henry McMaster’s office.
Officials say 30-year-old Paul Kenneth Melcher was arrested on one count of criminal solicitation of a minor.
According to an arrest warrant, beginning on February 9, 2010, Melcher solicited sex on the Internet from an individual he believed to be a minor girl. In reality, he was soliciting sex from an undercover Mauldin police officer.
They served a warrant on this pervert and confiscated four different computers, which I think means we’re going to see more charges on this slug. Kudos to Mauldin police for catching this degenerate before he raped some little kid.
