Overnight Open Thread (1 Apr 2016)

Looks like winter isn't done yet as April snow to coat northeastern US this weekend. Man, I just got my pool water up to snuff i.e. no longer green. Now it's gonna be a tad chilly to take a dip.

Violent Cities

Revisiting the world's most violent cities. Hmmm, many are south of us and we aren't enforcing the border and democrats insist on taking away our 2nd Amendment rights. Eff that.

ISIS Bag Handlers

At least 50 ISIS supporters are working as baggage handlers, cleaners and catering staff at Brussels airport. I wonder how many are working as bag handlers here in the US? It's happened before, this one recently.

Greatest One-Liners Before The Kill

Thermite Launcher

Homemade thermite cannon. Just a tad dangerous. Needs more range though.

NFL Combine Question

A strange question to ask but perfect for an ONT. If you wanted to kill a guy, would you kill him with a gun or a knife? The answer the LSU safety gave was weird though. Knifing is for fun? Also, if you have to continuously stab someone you're trying to kill, you are doing it wrong.

Sword Names Or 80's Metal Band?

Cold In July

I caught this movie the other day and it was pretty good. The story is about a homeowner who kills an intruder in his house and then having to deal with the vengeful father of the intruder. It stars Sam Shepard, Michael C. Hall (from the Showtime series Dexter), and Don Johnson. I loved the soundtrack. Very 80's synth, almost John Carpenter like, and it even included a track from Dynatron (Cosmo Black).

April Fools' Day

Heh. 4 Far-out space hoaxes for April Fools' Day.

The morning of April 1, 1976, Moore announced on a BBC radio station that at 9:47 am, Pluto would pass behind Jupiter, creating the Jovian-Plutonian Gravitational Effect. These planets would pull at the Earth, temporarily decreasing its gravity. Moore instructed his audience that if they jumped into the air at exactly 9:47, they’d be able to feel it.

When the time came, Moore instructed his listeners to "Jump, now!" Afterwards, many listeners called in to report that they'd floated.

Oh Oh

This isn't good for Texas in the long run. Number of Californians moving to Texas hits highest level in nearly a decade. Look at what happened to Colorado and Nevada. Unless these newcomers change their voting patterns, they're going to be electing folks that will implement policies that they have been fleeing. Eventually, they won't have any place to flee to.

Car Headlights

Glad to know it wasn't my imagination when I noted on my new car that the headlights seemed to be dimmer. IIHS says lots of new car headlights in the U.S. are garbage.

I recall vividly the time I had to talk my mother out of a killing.

She'd made up her mind, and formulated a very practical, workable plan. She was going to set the back of their house on fire, and shoot them as they came out the front. They'd be backlit, confused, and panicked, making them easy targets.

100 >>>Although, from behind, if you can get it right into the kidney,that would be fatal and excruciating, yes?

Sure, it's fatal. Eventually.

But getting stabbed is painful, and most people react to pain by flopping about and making noise. And some people will recognize that a stab wound means there is an aggressor nearby, and will attempt to react with superior violence in response to the threat.

So, base of the skull, above the ear, or up through the soft palette are your best targets if working from behind with a blade. But it's probably better not to get within bad breath distance if it can be helped.

Posted by: Burnt Toast at April 01, 2016 10:27 PM (T78UI)


For what it's worth, St. Louis city and Baltimore are fairly unique, in that they are independent cities (not part of a county), and very densely populated because of their small geographic size.


So in a sense, they have bad reputations because they are nowhere near as widely spread out as other large cities in the U.S. So their crimes stats are not as "diluted" as places like LA, Houston, Detroit, etc.

A knife within it's range is deadlier than a handgun.
Very few people (if any) have been decapitated or disemboweled by a handgun. The "ammo capacity" of a knife is greater. I'd rather be shot than stabbed, provided I have such a choice.

118 The knife reportedly found at the former home of O.J. Simpson is not connected to the 1994 slayings of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, Los Angeles police confirmed Friday.

The Los Angeles Police Department performed a variety of forensic tests on the rusty 5-inch fixed blade knife and compared it with the wounds inflicted on the victims before ruling it out as the murder weapon, two sources familiar with the investigation said.

As for me, grind an ambien up in their drink, when they're asleep I give them a massive dose of insulin. (I'm a type 1 diabetic, so obv I have plenty at hand)

Ambien in the system is no big deal. Insulin is metabolized very quickly and leaves no trace. Insulin needles are incredibly fine, most are 31G, so the odds of finding the puncture mark are incredibly small as well.

There are two true crime networks that I sometimes watch. Justice Network and ID. Judging by these shows a lot of family members are killing each other. And, yes, when police find a knifed victim who has been stabbed 20 times, they know that someone is really pissed off at their spouse.

191 This isn't good for Texas in the long run. Number of Californians moving to Texas hits highest level in nearly a decade. Look at what happened to Colorado and Nevada. Unless these newcomers change their voting patterns, they're going to be electing folks that will implement policies that they have been fleeing. Eventually, they won't have any place to flee to.

Texas is completely and utterly doomed. Between the refugees from California and the illegals, it will flip Democrat, and probably sooner rather than later. Any Texan who thinks otherwise is in denial.

This, of course, is a key goal of the Left.

But the problem was her plan was too good - it showed a level of attention to detail that would not escape notice, and would, in fact, cause LE to dig and dig and dig.

From what I can tell, most killings are sort of simple, almost spontaneous affairs; it's when the investigators see signs of forethought and planning that they really get curious.

You crush up an ambien or two and they drink that? Nighty fucking night.

269 So Obama is about to find something out. He did Hillary a giant political favor by making her Secretary of State, and then she used it to set up fabulous deals for the Chelsea Legacy Foundation without cutting him in on anything and without helping him out politically. He did her this favor and she sneaked off and abused it to advance the interests of only herself, clearly with an eye to having a more influential and powerful presidency than his. I don't think the Godfather is going to like that. I think he'll crown his lesser, duller servant who worshipped at his feet and never even had the wit to take secret advantage of his largesse.

Posted by: Mike Hammer, etc., etc. at April 01, 2016 11:46 PM (yddCj)

Building Codes typically have minimal requirements for restroom facilities.

Years ago I sat on a board where they were pushing a mandate for waterless urinals 'for the environment'. I suggested if they are concerned about 'the environment' that they consider unisex restrooms with a single slit trench constructed of tile down the center of the room and once a day it would be flushed from the high end - saves 'the environment' by eliminating a door, no partitions, no porcelain, and only one flush device.

Didn't go over so well as they really weren't that concerned about 'the environment' if they were impacted.BTW, the men didn't see a problem.

None of the above - crazy ex was trying force me out of the apartment I was paying for, s/he/it finally went I figured I'd let the police let me know the whereabouts for filing divorce papers - Cops said, "gone with personal effects? Obviously left on their own. Bye."
Took two years to get that mess cleared up - finally went with public notice to appear in divorce court in local paper.
Crazy ex did reappear a few years later when new spouse called being s/he/it in jail after getting stabby and found my name in personal effects. Laughed my ass off, stabby, yeah, been there, done subjected to that, why didn't you just take the knife, hah ha ha... No, take the knife with your hand, not your gut, ha ha... anyway, told the newest victim where the divorce decree was filed and never heard anything since.

Do your Ambien/insulin thing, your fake suicide, your home invasion, but remember that style points matter.

-When you "discover" the body, be sure to call 911 before you call anyone else, including your lawyer.
-Do not call the life insurance company before the body is buried.
-Do not, I repeat, do NOT hit on cute chicks at the funeral.

(1) Makes for a classic "locked-room" mystery; and



(2) People normally think about naturally occurring substances that "contain" nicotine. Pure nicotine is hell-on-a-ramjet. And,



(3) It absorbs readily and rapidly through mucous membranes.



IIRC, the guy swiped his ass and then clawed through his clothes and his chest using his fingers, leaving a spreading pool of blood that seeped out of the stall. I guess there were reports that people felt their skin was on fire and they had to get it off.

forethought and planning that they really get curious.
Posted by: [Palpatine] at April 01, 2016 11:36 PM (lutOX)


The thing is, I am told, is that your average investigator gets into a sort of investigation-haze. You pull a file, you review the facts, do a couple of interviews, put two and two together, make a reference to a database, write a determination, pull the next file . . . and so on.

You have amazing tools, access to databases, the education and the honed nose and a dedication to being a really nosy bastard, and you are doing stuff that almost be done by a properly crafted macro.

Then, you get something that smells off, you can almost feel the pattern, and you start digging, researching tide-tables and sunrise-sunset times, business registries, property ownerships, prime contractors, restaurant inspection scores.
In short, start flexing your muscles all because otherwise you will be bored and be as boring as the guy who does Sudoko in pencil and erases it when he is done because he wants to let other people have the same amount of fun that he has.

Walmart, and other stores, are already forcing us into "self check out" machines and we don't even get a 2% discount for taking up the job of their cashiers. I kind of hope lots of people steal from them in those lines because the whole thing is pretty obnoxious.

486 I took a forensics course in college. The prof was a career cop. His final exam "project" was for students to come up with the perfect murder. He said no one ever got a hundred percent.You always take something with you to the scene and you always take something from the scene with you.

Posted by: Wolfish Grin


I've thought about this, and here is my scenario for a perfect murder:

First, put on a weird hat and some kind of absurd disguise, and go to a public library at least 50 miles from your house. Wear gloves. At this library, use their public computers and go on Craigslist and search for someone selling a cheap-ass obsolete laptop computer. Create a throwaway email address on the library's computer, and contact the seller, and make an appointment to go buy it.

Further altering your disguise, go meet the guy, and pay with cash (bills you have only ever handled with gloves). Needless to say, use a fake name. I recommend "Pat."

Phew! First step complete -- now you own a computer that cannot be traced to you.

Never again visit that library or use that throwaway email address. Ever.

Next, scout out (in some town that's not your hometown) cafes that have a free and strong wifi signal -- independent cafes only. Using this stranger's computer which you now own, DON'T actually go into the cafe but find some nearby location not visible by eye (or surveillance camera) from the cafe, but is still within its wifi cloud. Best would be somewhere "behind" the cafe's back wall, so you're not even in the same social space. Sneaky.

Log on to the wifi signal. Boom -- now you're on the internet through a signal that cannot be associated with you using a computer that cannot be traced to you.

Once online, go BACK to craigslist and this time search for used drones for sale. Find biggest bestest drone with the longest range, pilotable by the drone's on-board camera, purchased by the original owner way prior to the new Fed "drone registration" requirement.

Different disguise this time, again with gloved cash and fake name, go buy it.

For the rest of the steps, only ever touch the drone with gloves, in a "clean room" with minimized dust and particles.

Wipe all pre-existing fingerprints off the drone, thoroughly. Gouge out, very very deeply, any registration numbers or other identifying info.

Again in disguise, go to some farm supply store (or wherever) and buy some castor beans with cash -- a very modest amount of beans, no more than you need.

Then process the castor beans into ricin using instructions you find in a physical paper book at a distant library -- a book that you look at in the stacks and never actually check out. Needless to say, never look up ricin recipes on your computer, even your untraceable computer.

Then using a hypodermic needle inject the ricin into a small lightbulb that has thin delicate glass. Seal the small hole carefully.

Attach the ricin-bulb to the servo mechanism of the drone in such a way that if the camera is tilted in a certain direction, it will crush the bulb (and release the ricin, obviously). Test the technique on normal bulbs until you get it perfect.

Also: remove any memory chip from the drone which could record what it "sees" with its on-board camera.

Then scope out your victim, whoever it may be -- someone unknown to you is best, such as a celebrity, a random stranger, a politician, or whatever -- and when you learn ahead of time that they will definitely be in a specific outdoor urban location at a specific time, you scout out the situation ahead of time and position yourself way way out of any direct line of sight of the victim's upcoming location, and also unseen by passersby. Inside a room (with a window through which the drone could launch) would be best.

When the moment arrives, you pilot your drone via the onboard camera (beaming its image to your remote control's screen, as the high-end drones do), and (as you've surely guessed by now) fly the drone directly at your victim, and in the final moments rotate the servo mechanism to break the bulb as close as possible to your victim (bumping into him with the drone is OK too).

Ricin releases, victim dies, murder accomplished.

If the drone is still undamaged, uncaptured and functioning, you then continue to fly it further and further directly away from your actual location and land it or crash it into the most oddball location possible (which you also had previously scoped out) -- best spots would be where teenage nogoodniks hang about (skate parks, high schools, etc.), because they will most definitely "steal" any wayward drone that landed amongst them, and never turn it over to the cops.

Or into a lake. Or onto a highway where it would get run over. Etc.

But that's not even necessary -- because the drone is untraceable to you anyway, due to all the steps outlined above. Even if the drone falls into the hands of law enforcement, it wouldn't do them any good.

After the drone has finally stopped flying, you casually put the piloting remote control console in your backpack, walk the opposite direction from the incident (which you should be at least a half mile distant from anyway), and later utterly destroy the controller in an incinerator or other melt-into-slag scenario. Remove the computer's hard drive and chips, pulverize them personally with a sledgehammer in the wilderness, then smash up the computer too, take all the aforementioned parts, melt the whole thing in the same incinerator, then collect the slag of the remote control, computer and hard drive, go on a whale-watching trip, and throw the slag overboard in the deepest part of the ocean on the trip. Marvel at the whales, so you don't seem suspicious.

Never brag about the crime or mention it to anyone. Ever.

OK, Sherlocks: Where is the flaw in this plan? Why would I not earn a 100% score on that forensics final?

Men with businesses move and drag along the liberal wifey who votes for the socialist crap to ease her vague feelings of guilt for having such an easy life. No offense to ettes who are home schooling or whatever, I'm talking soely about the liberal guilt twits who feel badly that they have it easier than some folks but instead of donating time or money to improve things for folks they feel badly for they just vote for the socialist who says they'll tax the rich to help the needy.

You have to know your audience. Everyone around me was a woman, so I immediately knew what I said wasn't going to be taken a a humorous retort. It got the line moving again!

Frankly, I think SCOTUS was wrong to deny the state's the right to have their upper house constituated differently from their lower house, specifically when it came to distribution of state Senate seats by county.

If that were still allowed, than California, if it followed its last "Federal Plan" for its state Senate, would have a GOP majority. In Nevada, the Libertarians and Independent American Party would have more state Senators than the Democrats.

522 I don't think there is such a thing as a perfect murder.
The closer the person is to you, the tougher it is to get away with it.
The more motive you have, the tougher it is to get away with it.
The more you hate the person, the tougher it is to get away with it.

There's a reason serial killers are so tough to find, and that is because it is cold blooded sport, and seemingly random for quite a while.

The rest is luck, or bad luck.

534 Interesting. Starting price for SW VII digital is only $17.95.

Why so low?

538 It's legal to kill your kid, isn't it? Please tell me that it is.

Gingy, Litle and I have been on vacation for the past three days. Big stayed at our house and watched the dog. Gingy, Little and I got less sleep than usual in hotel beds. We got home tonight at 6, exhausted. I had to run out and meet with a client, and then I was home. While I was out working, Gingy took all of Big's stuff to his house. Big texted me and asked me if his pills were taken to his house (Big has issues, but we've finally got a handle on them and his medication is key. He's finally working enough to support himself, and I CANT BEGIN TO EXPRESS HOW HAPPY AND PROUD OF HIM I AM(seriously)). I looked and they weren't, so I told him so. Big was at his job, working until 3AM. "Do you want to come here to spend the night, or go to your house?" "I want to go to my house, I miss my pets". "Do you need your pills tonight, or can we get them to you in the morning?" "I need them tonight".

OK, I say, I'll put them in the mailbox, come by and get them on the way home. Then I, desperately weary me, doze downstairs, inside but close to the mailbox, just to make sure he's got what he needs, because he's told me he HAS to take his pill. I'd like to be in bed, I'm really tired.

So just a few minutes ago I get a text-"I can't find the pills". Turns out he went home and looked in HIS mailbox for the pills. When I tell him they are in MY mailbox, he says, and I quote, "Minor miscommunication then, I'll get them tomorrow. I always keep a weeks worth stashed in my desk"

So now I'm sitting here with sandy eyelids, angrily awake because I dozed earlier and now I can't sleep, contemplating filicide. No jury would convict me, right?

Are you dependent on any meds to keep you normal? I am. I am insulin dependent and I always have a months supply extra. That doesn't mean I want to use it when I have more available.

Sorry, I'm siding with Big and would send you to chair.

540 Good morning horde
Bahrain Grand Prix qualifying later on today, they didn't change it from the disaster that happened in Australia so hopefully it will be a repeat and then they will change it.

541 It's a pretty safe bet that in today's pc climate, if you kill a thug to protect yourself/family/home you will have to deal with unpleasant aftermath. Not talking about legal hassle or clean-up. Talking about thug 'culture' and the left's butthurt.

542 Global warming: it's only unseasonably cold where you are, wherever you happen to be. But everywhere else it's much, MUCH hotter. The hottest month ever recorded. It's bleaching the coral reefs and killing birds. Trust us.

I feel like I'm being followed around by the Jon Lovitz pathological liar character, and he doesn't realize I'm onto him, and he keeps talking and talking. I'm going to lose it someday.

543 How much faith does anyone put into anecdotal evidence? For example, people who say they are going to something, intending to just get along with the crowd, and then do the exact opposite?

Point was "Oh, I have meds in my desk, nevermind". That's what I wanted to kill him for

I'm still siding with Big on this. Especially if it is a med that modifies behavior. When you are not thinking right, your memory suffers.

I will however lighten your sentence to time served and having to read every single comment at The Blaze for the next two weeks.

549 The CornHub porn parody was not at all what I expected. It was actually funny, and almost made me wonder if I've been judging men too harshly.

Almost.
