Reason to Blow Up the World...

30-year-old Jennifer Daugherty was a 30-year-old mentally challenged woman who made friends with the wrong type of people. People is too strong a word. She befriended a group of rejects who make the people who tortured Megan Williams look like amateurs.

Robert Loren Masters Jr., 36, Ricky Smyrnes, 23, Melvin Knight, 20, Amber Meidinger, 20, Angela Marinucci, 17, and Peggy Darlene Miller, 27, have all been charged with her murder but it goes far beyond that.

The sextet are accused of forcing Daugherty to drink detergent, vegetable oil and urine and make her write her own suicide note. She was allegedly beaten with a towel rack, a crutch and a vacuum hose. She was stabbed multiple times in the neck, chest and head and her body was dumped in a school parking lot inside of a trash can. Her head had been shaved and her body was strewn with Christmas decorations and her face was smeared with cosmetics.

This happened over a week ago however at the time police said the motive was unclear on why the Scumbag Six killed Jennifer Daugherty. I have a guess why they did. Because they're a bunch of animals who probably thought it would be fun to kill a 'retard'.

Considering a hearing for them was recently postponed because most of them have head lice they're not in any position to judge.

23 points.

Most of the suspects were sponging off the system on welfare. That's another point for 24.

Parolee charged in killing of Pittsburgh-area cop:

Reason to Blow Up the World...

PENN HILLS, Pa. — A parolee wearing an electronic ankle bracelet fatally shot a man at his home over a $500 drug debt, then walked outside and opened fire on a patrol car, killing an officer awaiting backup, authorities said.

Penn Hills police Officer Michael Crawshaw, 32, was the first to respond to a 911 call made around 8:20 p.m. Sunday. Crawshaw was advised to wait in his patrol car because of past problems reported at the home and because dispatchers heard shots over the phone, Penn Hills Chief Howard Burton said.

Ronald Robinson, 32, opened fire with an assault rifle as he approached the car, Allegheny County Police Superintendent Charles Moffatt said Monday.

Robinson confessed to killing both men and told police he threw two guns in the nearby woods as he ran from the crime scene, according to a criminal complaint obtained at Robinson's arraignment. Police on Monday found a 7.62 mm Norenko MAK 90 assault rifle and a 9mm Ruger handgun in the woods, the complaint said.

The officer's weapon was removed from his holster, showing that he might have been able to draw his pistol and fire a shot, Moffatt said. Police were still investigating.

Robinson fired at least nine shots at the officer, Moffatt said. An autopsy determined two shots hit Crawshaw in the left arm and a fatal shot hit him in the head, near his left eye, according to the complaint. The man in the house, Danyal Morton, 40, died of several gunshot wounds.

Robinson told police he shot both men with the assault rifle, and that he fired at Crawshaw after the officer saw him come out of the home and told him to stop, the complaint said.

Robinson, of Pittsburgh, was charged two counts of criminal homicide, four weapons charges, and one count each of burglary and robbery for allegedly bursting into Morton's home and demanding money from him, the complaint said.

Robinson had been under supervision since 2007 for a firearms conviction, but was due to complete his sentence Feb. 24, said Leo Dunn, a spokesman for the state Board of Probation and Parole Department. Dunn said Robinson, who has an arrest record for drug and firearms charges, did have parole violations, but he was not able to discuss them.

Morton owed Robinson $500 for either cocaine or heroin from a drug deal Saturday, Moffatt said. Both shootings occurred within four minutes, judging by 911 records and police logs.

The slain officer apparently heard gunfire as he sat in his car awaiting backup officers and was shot moments later, Moffatt said.

Morton has a criminal record dating to 1991, including two prison terms for burglary, records show.

This is why I think rehabilitation is the exception and not the norm.

Two points for each man killed, another 9 points for each bullet fired at Officer Michael Crawshaw, another 3 points for the bullets that hit him, one more point for this all being over a drug deal, another point for the fact that this was an ex-con that obviously shouldn't have been on parole, another point for the fact that ankle bracelets do nothing, and one last point for the fact that he had parole violations and was still out. That's 18.

Dying man robbed in Philadelphia ER waiting room:

Reason to Blow Up The World...

PHILADELPHIA—A school counselor suffering an apparent heart attack died in a Philadelphia emergency room after waiting nearly 80 minutes for help -- and a trio of homeless drug addicts nearby stole his watch instead of seeking aid, police said.

Joaquin Rivera, 63, died before seeing a triage nurse at Atria Health's Frankford Campus over the weekend, police said.

Rivera, a musician and activist in the city's Latino community, had spent more than 30 years working as a bilingual counselor at an inner-city high school.

Rivera had walked to the Northeast Philadelphia hospital late Saturday from his home a few blocks away after pain started shooting down his right side. He registered at 10:45 p.m. and took a seat, chatting for about 20 minutes with two men and a woman nearby.

Based on witness accounts, police believe Rivera passed out about an hour later. Security video then shows one of the men steal his watch and briefly pass it to the other.

The second suspect is then seen by doctors, and a security guard arrives to ask his sleeping companions to leave. A witness first reports that Rivera may be dead.

At 12:04 a.m., he is pronounced dead.

Aria Health offered condolences to the family Tuesday but otherwise declined comment, citing patient confidentiality and the pending criminal case.

McGinnis describes the three suspects as homeless drug addicts. Police arrested one of them, 44-year-old Richard Alten, at the hospital and are searching for the others.

Detectives have seen the video footage, but Aria Health had not yet produced a copy for them, McGinnis said. Police hope to publicize it to find the missing pair.

A preliminary ruling suggests Rivera died of hypertension. He is survived by his wife and three children.

Cops: 6 men raped woman in W. Phila:

Reason to Blow Up the World...

A 24-year-old woman who went for some late-night takeout Thursday night was accosted by six men who forced her into a nearby apartment building, where they raped her until her screams prompted someone to call for help, police said.

According to Lt. Frank Vanore, a police spokesman, the woman went to a Chinese restaurant on Walnut Street near 56th about 10:45 p.m.

"Six unknown males came in and started to grab her and fondle her," Vanore said.

The men, ranging in age from 16 to 52, followed the woman out of the restaurant and forced her to go to a nearby apartment, where she was raped by all six, Vanore said.

The suspects were identified by police as Nicholas Glenn, 18; Nyair Washington, 19; Timothy Manley, 22; Teddy Mack, 22; and Michael Garrison, 52. The sixth suspect, a 16-year-old boy, was not identified because of his age.

The suspects face charges of rape, sexual assault, false imprisonment and related offenses, Vanore said.

The woman's screams for help prompted a neighbor to call police, who arrested all six men.

Six scumbags hanging out on a corner in Philly. Go figure. You know, when I lived in Philly I spent most of my time in either Delaware County or South Jersey.

Six points for each suspect, 36 points for the age difference between the youngest suspect to the oldest, another point for the 16-year-old was either not with or with their supposed guardian, 6 more points for each rape. That's 49.

Four charged after girl killed in 'excrutiating ordeal':

Reason to Blow Up the World: I'll just quote from the article...

PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (AP) -- A 15-year-old girl was stabbed, beaten, set on fire and thrown into a river, and four acquaintances were charged with murder, authorities said.

The killers of Christine Marie Ham lured her to a small park behind a public housing complex in southwest Philadelphia on Saturday and attacked her, authorities said. Police said she was still alive when she was thrown into the Schuylkill River and managed to crawl out, but bled to death on the shore.

I really wish that the punishment would fit the crime.

Mother kills two children, herself:

(Log in info)

Reason to Blow Up The World: Normally these stories make me angry but this one just makes me sad for some reason. Still it's a tragic waste of life for a mother to kill two of her own children then kill herself for no apparent reason. My condolences go out to the friends and families of the victims.

Man charged with Pennsylvania teen's grisly death:

Reason to blow up the world: The fact that it wasn't bad enough that a man raped an killed a 15 year old girl but that he had to have an accomplice help him dispose of the body by dismembering it, putting it into a steel drum, then burning it. Luckily the DA is going for the death penalty. I hope he is successful.

More reasons that we as a race should not exist.

Teens Listened to 'Helter Skelter' Before Killing Boy:

4 teens killed an 18 year old in Philadelphia by beating him to death with a hatchet a hammer and a brick. Just to rob him of $500. Normally I would ask where the parents were but it's Philadelphia. They were probably out cashing their welfare checks to buy lottery tickets.

PA Dad Allegedly Canes Son at Little League Game:

A 46 year old man beat his son with a cane when the son asked for something to eat. Witnesses say he then hit his son on the head, chest and legs and threw the boy to the ground. I'm glad he didn't ask for something to drink too.

I'm too disgusted for it to be anyone's pleasure.
