A Pennsylvania homeowner is reminded of the alarm clock that's stuck in the wall of his home when it goes off -- every day for the last 13 years.
Jerry Lynn told KDKA that he dropped the alarm clock in September 2004 while trying to drill a hole in the living room wall of his home in Ross. Lynn said he was using the alarm clock to pinpoint the spot where he could run a wire to connect his television.
"As I was laying it down, all of a sudden I heard it go ‘thunk!’ as it came loose," Lynn told the news station. "I thought, well, that’s not a real problem. You know it’s still going to go off. And it did."
Lynn and his wife Sylvia thought the clock's battery would run out in three or four months, but 13 years later, they're still hearing the beeps.
"It is still going off every day. And during Daylight Saving Time it goes off at ten minutes ’til eight. And during standard time it goes off at ten minutes to seven at night," Lynn said.
so it never occurred to them to cut through the drywall and retrieve it?
more importantly, what kind of batteries were in the thing? 13 years of service is above and beyond expected battery life cycle

Rebecca Burger, a French fitness blogger, has died after a whipped cream dispenser exploded in her chest.
Burger, who had 160,000 Instagram followers and more than 55,000 Facebook fans, passed away at the weekend.
Citing local reports in France, the BBC reported that she died of cardiac arrest after the accident, despite being attended to by medics.
Her family announced her death on Facebook, calling it a "domestic accident." A warning about the faulty dispensers has also been posted on her Instagram. It said the canister "exploded and struck Rebecca's chest, causing her death".
The dispensers shoot gas into a metal capsule, which keeps the pressure high. The BBC said a French consumer group has warned readers for years about faulty connectors on the gas capsules, causing them to break and expel at high speed.
The number of accidents from such dispensers even prompted the government office for consumers to issue a warning, saying the accidents stretch back as far as 2010, and can occur at any time - even after years of use, it said.

The headlines sound thrilling. One might say they bait a click.
“ANONYMOUS SAYS NASA HAS EVIDENCE OF ALIEN LIFE. DOES IT?” — Newsweek
“The world's biggest hacking group thinks NASA is about to announce alien life.” — the Independent
It's June, 2017 — still early days in a century full of scientific promise and information revolutions.
Maybe you know of Anonymous as a band of socially enlightened hackers: liberators of knowledge from elites who want to hide it from the public.
What, you wonder, has Anonymous learned about aliens that NASA doesn't want to reveal yet?
So you click.
And what you get, if you follow the professional news articles to the amateur YouTube channel that is their source, is video of a man in a Guy Fawkes mask — “Anonymous Global,” he calls himself — reading out old quotes from NASA spokespeople in a spooky, synthesized voice.
The man in the anarchist mask quotes a NASA science director's testimony from a congressional hearing in April, all totally public: “We are on the verge of making one of the most profound, unprecedented discoveries in history.”
Anonymous Gobal doesn't show the actual testimony, in which NASA's Thomas Zurbuchen talked up recent discoveries of planets around distant suns and organic chemicals on Saturn's moon but caveated that “we haven't found definitive signs of life just yet.”
so some guy posts some weird and most probably fabricated stuff on a YouTube Channel, and real news agencies pick up on it and use it as a source for their stories?
really? professional journalism has sunk that low? wow .....

Bad weather, crowded skies and military drills…and now add coin-tossing to the growing list of reasons for China’s notorious flight delays.
Police took away an 80-year-old woman Tuesday after fellow passengers reported that she was throwing coins at the plane during boarding of China Southern Airlines flight CZ380 on the tarmac of Shanghai’s Pudong International Airport.
“The passenger, surnamed Qiu, who has no prior criminal record or mental health issues, claimed she tossed coins as a prayer for a safe flight,” Shanghai Police said in a statement.
It added that officers found nine coins at the scene, including one that fell into the engine of the Airbus A320 aircraft, with others scattered on the ground nearby.
The airline had to clear nearly 150 passengers from the full flight bound for Guangzhou, originally scheduled to depart at 12:40 pm.
“To ensure flight safety, China Southern’s aircraft maintenance staff conducted a thorough inspection of the engine, which concluded at 4:53 pm, and cleared the aircraft for takeoff,” the carrier said in a statement.
The flight eventually took off at 6:16 pm and arrived at its destination more than five hours late.
A police photo shows the total value of the coins added up to 1.7 yuan (about 25 US cents), but local media estimated the cost of engine inspection and flight delay could easily run in the thousands of dollars.
Police said the case was under further investigation.

A young caregiver has issued a warning to couples after having to get a four-inch sex toy surgically removed from her rectum.
Emily Georgia, 20, was left almost needing a colostomy bag when the stainless steel toy vanished during a night of passion.
After attempts to manually retrieve it failed a concerned friend rushed Georgia to the hospital where doctors warned her there was a risk of it perforating her bowel.
The caregiver is now speaking out to warn others that embarrassment shouldn’t stop those who find themselves in similar predicaments from seeking medical help.
Georgia from, who lives in East Preston, a small town on England’s south coast, said: “We were having a naughty night in last March and decided to use the toy – I’d never used one before.”
She added: “I think he got too excited and managed to push the end of it in too. It was a goner.”
“I began to panic and told him I needed to go the hospital. He said it should come out naturally on the toilet and then he said ‘I’m really sorry I have work early in the morning’ and he shot off.”
```
As she was being wheeled to have surgery the following day, doctors told Georgia if they couldn’t extract it rectally they might have to go through the bowel and take some out which could mean at least six months with a colostomy bag.
Georgia said: “Obviously when they said about the colostomy bag I was devastated – I’m only 20.”
“I’m a caregiver and I’ve seen colostomy bags – they’re not pretty, I’ve never been so frightened.”
“When they spoke about the gem and that it could perforate my bowel I was devastated that a night of fun could have killed me.”
Georgia underwent hour-long surgery which involved placing a camera inside her before it was manually extracted.
Post-surgery nurses offered the toy as a keepsake which she accepted.
Georgia said: “If anyone is in the same situation I would advise to obviously try and get it out yourself first but then definitely take yourself straight to the hospital if you can.”
“It’s not as embarrassing as it seems – people [in the emergency room] see things like this all the time and will have seen far worse things up people’s rectums.”
this part of the story that really irks me :
“I began to panic and told him I needed to go the hospital. He said it should come out naturally on the toilet and then he said ‘I’m really sorry I have work early in the morning’ and he shot off.”
so the guy left ... ... even after the person he just had sex with said she needed to go to the hospital ... which makes him a supreme asshole

A 14-year-old Texas girl was killed while holding her cellphone in a bathtub.
Madison Coe, a north Texas resident, was electrocuted when she either plugged her phone in or grabbed it while it was already charging, her grandmother told local NBC affiliate KCBD.
“There was a burn mark on her hand, the hand that would have grabbed the phone,” grandmother Donna O’Guinn told KCDB. “And that was just very obvious that that’s what had happened.”
Madison was visiting her father in Lovington, N.M., when she died Sunday.
what part of no electrical stuff while in the bathtub is still a mystery to anyone?
I look upon this death as Darwinism in process

People just can't be unconnected from the world nowadays. Especially teens and young adults it seems.
Udry-Dumoulin is the youngest of seven children born to Marcelin and Francine Dumoulin. The couple went to milk their cows on a meadow above their home in Switzerland's Valais canton on August 15, 1942, according to the Reuters news agency, and never came home.
The regional police force told local media the bodies were discovered last week, near a ski lift on the Tsanfleuron glacier, by a worker for an adventure resort company.
"The bodies were lying near each other. It was a man and a woman wearing clothing dating from the period of World War Two," Glacier 3000 director Bernhard Tschannen told local media, according to Reuters. "They were perfectly preserved in the glacier and their belongings were intact."
Tschannen told the Tribune de Geneve that his staff believed the couple likely fell into a crevasse, "where they stayed for decades. As the glacier receded, it gave up their bodies."
"It was the first time my mother went with him on such an excursion, "Udry-Dumoulin told Le Matin. "She was always pregnant and couldn't climb in the difficult conditions of a glacier."
"For the funeral, I won't wear black. I think that white would be more appropriate. It represents hope, which I never lost."

SAMSON, Ala. -- Hogs aren't unusual in rural south Alabama, but Wade Seago said he'd never seen anything like the 820-pound animal he shot and killed in his front yard.
Seago told al.com that he and his daughter spotted the massive hog in their yard in Samson last week after the family's pet schnauzer Cruiser started barking.
"Cruiser had this huge hog confused with all of the barking and movement," Wade said. "It was not a good situation."
So the man got his .38-caliber handgun and took aim. It took three shots to drop the hog, Seago said, and he later weighed it on scales at a peanut company.
Seago told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he plans to display the hog's stuffed head and shoulders at his taxidermy shop. He said the rest of the remains were discarded on a friend's property.
"It's so humid down here, it had to hang all night. I wouldn't trust the meat," he said.
Seago didn't have any regrets about killing the hog, which had tusklike teeth that were 6 inches long. Feral hogs cause millions of dollars in damage annually, and hunters on private land can kill as many of them as they want under Alabama law.
"I didn't think twice about taking down this hog," Seago said. "I'd do it again tomorrow."
I would think if he had gotten an actual butcher involved, the meat could have been used ... kind of a shame to just dump 800+ pounds of pork

HIALEAH, Fla. – A retired Florida firefighter apparently shot the tires on multiple AT&T trucks because he was upset they were parked near his home, according to WSVN.
Police said utility workers were working on lines near the home when 64-year-old Jorge Jove approached them on Wednesday morning. Jove was apparently upset because the trucks were parked in front of his home, officials told WSVN.
The workers told the man they would move the trucks after the work was completed. The man then went inside his home and came back out with a gun and started shooting at the tires.
Derrick Taylor, one of the AT&T workers, captured the incident on video.
“There’s a guy shooting out my tires. There’s a guy shooting out my tires,” Taylor, who was on the phone with 911, can be heard saying on the video.
Jove fired at least 18 shots during the incident, police said. According to WSVN, a sergeant saw the man fire and miss at the worker who was in a bucket truck.
Jove faces aggravated assault with a deadly weapon charges. No injuries were reported.

Five teenagers won’t face criminal charges after they recorded video of a man’s drowning and didn't intervene, a Florida police chief said.
The video, taken earlier this month in Cocoa, Florida, about 45 miles east of Orlando, shows a person's head bobbing up and down in a pond. The unidentified teenagers are laughing and joking in the video, with one of them appearing to laugh and say, "He just died!"
Cocoa Police Chief Mike Cantaloupe said in a statement Thursday the police department learned of the recording last weekend and reviewed it. Police identified and interviewed the five teens, he said.
Police have not named the juveniles.
"The State Attorney’s Office was consulted regarding what, if any criminal charges could be applied in this incident," Cantaloupe said, adding, "As horrible as this video is the laws in the State of Florida do not obligate citizens to render aid or call someone to render aid to a person in distress."
The victim, 31-year-old Jamel Dunn of Cocoa, died of drowning, the medical examiner ruled, police said, adding that they recovered his body July 14.
"There are no words to describe how utterly inhumane and cruel the actions of these juveniles were towards Mr. Dunn," Cantaloupe said. "I want to express my deepest condolences to Mr. Dunn’s family and friends."
Cantaloupe added, "Regardless of the circumstances surrounding his decision to enter the water that day, there is absolutely no justification for what the juveniles did. As law enforcement officers we are sworn to uphold and enforce the laws. Unfortunately there are no laws in Florida that apply to this scenario. Perhaps this case may be what’s needed to pass new laws. As chief of police there are times when I wish I could do more. But I’m a firm believer in that good will always win over evil. It may not come in our life time, but there will be justice."
what the hell kind of animals are passing themselves off as children these days?

Them little f*ckers need to be strung up. I understand the no charges, but morally these kids are f*cked. Someone needs to pick these little punks up and play a game of Saw with them. Film the crying like little bitches and put that on social media.
First hand I know it's very difficult to rescue someone in distress in the water. I actually wouldn't recommend it if your not either a very confident swimmer, or the person is much smaller then you. Finding flotation is probably the best idea.
That aside, fuck those a holes laughing at it. Not trying to get help. Fuck them, they should become endentured survents to his family for 40 years.
The parents of two Stockton, California girls reacted with confusion and sorrow Monday, three days after their 14-year-old daughter was killed in a crash in which investigators said her older sister was driving while under the influence and apparently live-streaming on social media.
Jacqueline Sanchez was killed when her older sister crashed the white Buick Century she was driving outside of Los Banos Friday evening. Jacqueline Sanchez, who authorities said wasn’t wearing a seat belt, was ejected through the back window of the car.
Her sister, Obdulia Sanchez, 18, was arrested at the scene of the crash Friday night on Henry Miller Road, north of Los Banos. She remained in custody Monday in Merced County on suspicion of drunken driving and manslaughter, according to booking records. CHP investigators did not disclose Sanchez’s blood alcohol content at the time of the crash.
The Sanchezes parents, Nicandro and Gloria Sanchez, told KFSN-TV Fresno in an interview they have seen the video but had not spoken to their daughter as of Monday.
“I think she knows what has happened,” Nicandro Sanchez said in the interview. “What I think is, she knows she’s done something wrong.”
Obdulia Sanchez apparently was live-streaming on Instagram in the moments leading up to the crash. The video kept going through the entire crash and afterward.
The video shows Obdulia Sanchez wearing a red baseball cap, rapping to music on the radio. At times, it appears Sanchez has no hands on the wheel.
At one point, the camera points briefly to two girls in the backseat. Then someone screams and the footage turns red and blurry and becomes noisy. When Sanchez appears back in the frame, she shows her younger sister laying in a field, a large wound evident on her head.
“My sister is (expletive) dying,” Obdulia says in the video. “I (expletive) love my sister to death ... This is the last thing I wanted to happen to us, but it just did. Jacqueline, please wake up.”
Sanchez can be heard in the video saying “I (expletive) killed my sister, OK? I know I’m going to jail for life.”
CHP investigators on Monday said they were aware of video evidence were investigating the validity of the recording, according to Officer Wyatt Foster.
The video since has gone viral on the Internet after Stockton resident Mary Hernandez said she saw the video and reposted it.
yeah ... she loved her sister to death all right ... and all because it was more important to her to livestream shit on her phone than pay attention to driving, and maintaining control, of her vehicle

Blame it on the phone if you want - a few decades back they might have blamed it on the automobile. But I'm thinking that if she was impaired by alcohol, she lost the ability to make good judgements, which resulted in foolish and dangerous behavior while driving, and thus the ultimate tragedy.
About 4 years back I almost lost my son as a result of a crazy alcohol-fueled fight between the two of us - could easily have lost my life as well. I have not had a drink since that night.
I keep some whiskey in a cupboard for friends and I stock some of that light beer they drink, out in my garage fridge. I'll pick up some wine or microbrew if my daughter or son are coming. But I won't drink again until the day I die. Pure golden shithouse luck gave me a second chance to live with my family intact and I'm not about to fuck it up.

The extended family members all lived within yards of each other, in a small village near a river bank in Pakistan’s largest province, Punjab.
It was in this village in Muzaffarabad, a suburb of the city of Multan, where the first of two rapes took place.
A daughter of the family, around the age of 12 or 13, was cutting the grass in nearby fields on July 16 when a teenage boy covered her with a cloth and raped her, police said. The boy was a 16-year-old relative of hers.
In the days that followed the girl’s rape, the family’s elders gathered together in shock and anguish, seeking to resolve what had happened.
But mourning soon led to vengeance. The elders — who effectively served as the family’s “panchayat,” or village council — decided that justice should be served as revenge. They instructed the victim’s brother, who is also about 16, to rape the teenage sister of the attacker in return for his crime, Ahsan Younis, head of the Multan city police, told The Washington Post.
So the 16-year-old brother followed suit, assaulting the teenage girl in his family’s home and effectively carrying out what Younis called a “revenge rape.”
Two rapes, within two days, all in one extended family. It turns out the first assailant’s father is a brother of the second assailant’s grandfather.
“They are victims and accused at the same time,” Younis said in an interview Thursday morning with The Post. “It’s barbaric.”
Indeed, the case was shocking. But it was not entirely unheard of — such “honor” crimes still take place in some parts of Pakistan and India. But what made this case different was that somebody spoke up, and authorities took action.
so a revenge rape of a teenage girl is considered an "honor crime" by these braindead barbarians
this is beyond disgusting
these village elders all need to be hung by the neck until dead IMO

A man was charged today with killing his wife aboard a Princess Cruises ship in Alaska, according to federal court documents.
Kenneth Manzanares has been detained and faces murder charges in the death of his 39-year-old wife, who is identified by the initials K.M., according to a criminal complaint filed today in federal court by the FBI. A source with knowledge of the FBI's investigation told ABC News that the victim was Kristy Manzanares of Utah.
Princess Cruises said a domestic dispute occurred Tuesday night and resulted in the woman's death. The FBI said that it is investigating the "suspicious" death and that it dispatched teams from Anchorage and Seattle to Juneau and Utah to speak with the deceased's family. The agency has jurisdiction in this case, it said, because the death happened on the water.
The incident occurred while the cruise was traveling from Ketchikan to Juneau, acting U.S. Attorney for Alaska Bryan Schroder said in a press conference Thursday afternoon.
According to an affidavit by FBI Special Agent Michael Watson, security and medical personnel "responded to an incident" in the cabin occupied by the Manzanareses aboard the Emerald Princess on Tuesday just after 9 p.m. local time, when the ship was seven miles off the coast of Forrester Island.
She was found with a severe head wound, and blood was spattered throughout the cabin, according to the court documents. She was pronounced dead at approximately 9:20 p.m. local time, the court documents state.
The FBI was then notified of the incident at 11 p.m., an agency spokesperson said in a press conference Thursday.
An Emerald Princess security officer told investigators he noticed blood on Kenneth Manzanares' hands and clothing at the time. According to the affidavit, the officer placed the man in handcuffs and detained him in an adjoining cabin.
The security officer told investigators that other witnesses entered the cabin earlier and also saw blood on man's hands and clothing. According to the affidavit, one witness, identified by the initials D.H., said that he saw the woman lying on the floor covered in blood and that when he asked Kenneth Manzanares what had happened, he replied, "She would not stop laughing at me."
Schroder said that comment was made after the witness had entered the room. Neither he nor the FBI would comment on whether there was a witness in the room at the time of the incident.

This bride had a lot more than a garter belt hiding underneath her wedding dress. A newly married Tennessee couple's wedding night ended with the bride being carted off to jail after she pointed a gun at her husband's head.
Police said shortly after Kate Prichard and James Burton exchanged vows, they got into a heated argument which escalated to Prichard reaching under her wedding dress and brandishing a 9-mm. pistol.
Authorities said they received a call about a husband and wife yelling at each other outside the Clarion Inn motel, News Channel 5 reports. When cops arrived, Prichard and Burton said everything was fine but people at the motel painted a very different picture.
One witness told police that during the argument an angry Prichard, 25, pulled a gun out of her wedding dress and aimed it at her husband. Investigators said the new bride pulled the trigger, but the gun didn't fire because it wasn't loaded. Prichard then loaded the weapon and fired a shot into the air, News Channel 5 reports. She then tried to get rid of the weapon by tossing it in a bathroom at the motel.
Witnesses said both Prichard and Burton had been drinking prior to the incident.
"Officers let the husband know the honeymoon was over," Murfreesboro police Sgt. Kyle Evans said.
Prichard was jailed on aggravated domestic assault, but was released after posting her $15,000 bond.

A man has been accused of holding a woman and her two children captive for at least two years in their Spotsylvania County home, authorities said.
Spotsylvania Sheriff’s Lt. C.A. Carey said deputies went to a home in the 3600 block of Mine Road Saturday to check the welfare of a family. A caller had expressed concern that no one had seen or heard from any of the family members in quite some time, he said.
Deputies arrived at the home about 5 p.m. and were greeted by a man who authorities said appeared reluctant to let them into the house. While deputies were talking to the man, Carey said, a woman and two children ran out of a side door and were taken to safety by the deputies.
When they got away from the man, they told deputies that it had been at least two years since they had been allowed out of the house.
Carey said the children, ages 11 and 8, had never been to school as far as investigators know. A Sheriff's Office release said the suspect is the father of the children. The man and woman are not married, Carey said.
Kariem Ali Muhammad Moore, 43, was charged with three felony counts of abduction and felony assault and battery. Carey said the investigation is ongoing and more charges could be filed.

A North Carolina man allegedly attempted to elude police on Wednesday by diving into the ocean and swimming away — but unknowingly he was just feet away from a shark while trying the brazen escape.
Zachary Kingsbury, 20, was pulled over for a traffic stop just before 5 p.m. in Surf City, according to WECT.
He allegedly tried to escape when officers spotted illegal contraband inside the vehicle and asked him to exit the car. Kingsbury jumped into the ocean and began swimming away, leading to an hours-long standoff, officials said.
Within an hour, Kingsbury was reportedly 4,000 feet from the shore, and the Surf City Police Department launched a drone to track the escapee.
“At that point, the operation became a rescue operation,” police said in a statement.
But as police were trying to save Kingsbury, they noticed a shark swimming near the man, drone footage showed.
Police were able to nab Kingsbury about 7:45 p.m., according to the Charlotte Observer.
“I would’ve drowned after 10 minutes…dude’s an animal,” a witness wrote in a Facebook post.
Kingsbury was charged with resisting arrest, obstructing an officer, possession of drug paraphernalia, methamphetamine, and possession of marijuana of up to a half an ounce.

A 28-year-old North Carolina man is facing a murder charge after allegedly stabbing his wife in bed — but the newlywed claims he doesn’t remember carrying out the alleged crime because he might have done it in his sleep, PEOPLE confirms.
Matthew Phelps, of Raleigh, called police distraught early Friday morning, declaring that his wife, Lauren, was dead on their bedroom floor covered in blood.
“I had a dream and then I turned on the lights and she’s dead on the floor,” he says in a 911 call obtained by PEOPLE. “I have blood all over me and there’s a bloody knife on the bed and I think I did it. I can’t believe this.”
He told the dispatcher through tears that his wife wasn’t breathing and that he was afraid to get close to her — “I’m so scared,” he said.
Phelps is charged with murder and is being held at Wake County Detention Center without bail, a jail spokesperson tells PEOPLE. As police work to determine the circumstances around Lauren’s death, Phelps suggested during the 911 call that cold medicine he took the night before might have led to his alleged actions.
“I took more medicine than I should have,” he said. “I took Coricidin Cough and Cold because I know it can make you feel good. A lot of times I can’t sleep at night. So, I took some.”
He added: “Oh my God. She didn’t deserve this.”

A mystery woman in Colorado Springs, Colo. is giving runners a pretty crappy reputation. According to local CBS affiliate KKTV, this runner has been defecating outside the house of resident Cathy Budde for the past seven weeks. Even worse—her children first spotted the woman.
Budde and her family have caught the runner at least three times. However, this has not stopped this mystery runner. She continues to leave waste behind at least once a week. The woman has gone so far as to change her running schedule to avoid prying eyes. The community has nicked named her “The Mad Pooper.”
Budde thinks the act is intentional, even if she is unsure who the woman is.
“I put a sign on the wall that’s like ‘please, I’m begging you, please stop.’ … She ran by it like 15 times yesterday, and she still pooped,” Budde told KKTV.
The family turned to the police and the media in an effort to identify the woman. After Budde started sharing her frustration, other neighborhood residents came forward, saying the runner has relieved herself in their backyard and a local Walgreen’s parking lot. If caught, the runner faces charges of indecent exposure and public defecation.
The most baffling aspect of this woman’s behavior is that there are public restrooms available in the area. Budde identified a local park and a gas station nearby, among others.
“There’s plenty of public restrooms less than a block away from where she’s targeting,” Budde shared with KKTV. “This is intentional.”

The mother of a man who police said attempted to rob a Starbucks in California, but was thwarted by a Good Samaritan, reportedly said her son plans to sue because the hero used "excessive force."
The video of the July robbery went viral. Police released the footage showing Cregg Jerri, 58, struggling with a would-be robber in a Transformers mask who tried to stage a hold-up with a knife and toy gun at a Starbucks in Fresno.
Jerri, at one point, approaches the robber from behind and bashes him over the head with a chair. Eventually the two hit the ground and grapple. Police said Jerri was stabbed in the neck as he tried to grab the knife.
They said when Jerri took the knife away, he stabbed the robber several times. Police said Ryan Flores, 30, was the man in the mask.
"The guy, in my opinion, went from a Good Samaritan to a vigilante," Pamela Chimienti, Flores’ mother, told KSEE-TV. "Stabbing somebody that many times, it doesn't take that many stab wounds to get somebody to succumb to you."
Mark Flores, the man's father, told the Fresno Bee: “I understand he (his son) robbed the store but (Jerri) stabbed my son 17 times."
The Fresno police chief reportedly called the report of the lawsuit “ludicrous.”
Flores, who is currently in jail, did not confirm the lawsuit to the Fresno Bee. “I don’t like to judge people, but that’s a lot of stab wounds,” he said.
