papsrus Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Taking an insane killer with a history of escaping to a fair and letting him walk around with $50 in his pocket is about the dumbest idea I've heard. Can you imagine the guards? "Sorry boss. Don't know how it happened, but the insane killer got away ... again." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Berger Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 What's sad is, there may be people in that hospital who are no threat to anybody, and they might get this privilege revoked because of this stupid f'up. Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 How the hell did he ever get into a halfway house before? I'll bet he had even less supervision there, they are lucky he didn't escape then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted September 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Although the story is what matters in the real world, in the O-World,I was more interested in the headline. I mean...that's a classic, right? You couldn't make something like that up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BERIGAN Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 ...Or show up at a 'town hall' meeting, waiving an "Obama = Hitler" sign. Protesters a few years ago waving signs saying Bush=Hitler, speaking truth to power, but Obama=Hitler is just crazy, wrong, and of course....RACIST!!!! Spellcheck doesn't recognise Obama's name! It's racist too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 The negligence shown in allowing this loony to escape would be laughable if it weren't so dangerous. Similarly, I'd just chuckle at our resident right wingers if they weren't so horrifyingly stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never been in a half-way house - they don't have any for Nigerian royalty like me - Hey, sounds like you're in the same boat as this woman! Maybe she ('the king') can help you find a job? At a minimum, you two should form a support group......or go and get married and become her queen? Peggielene Bartels stands in the atrium of the Embassy of Ghana in Northwest Washington, where she has worked since the late 1970s. She is also king of Otuam, Ghana. Secretary by Day, Royalty by Night Embassy Worker Remotely Rules a Ghanaian Town By Paul Schwartzman Washington Post Staff Writer Wednesday, September 16, 2009 The king folds her own laundry, chauffeurs herself around Washington in a 1992 Honda and answers her own phone. Her boss's phone, too. Peggielene Bartels lives in Silver Spring and works as a secretary. When she steps off an airplane in Ghana on Thursday, arriving in the coastal town her family has controlled for half a century, she will be royalty -- with a driver, a chef and an eight-bedroom palace, albeit one in need of repairs she will help finance herself. "I'm a big-time king, you know," said Bartels, seated at her desk at the Ghanaian embassy just off Van Ness Street NW, where she has worked for almost 30 years. In the humdrum of ordinary life, people periodically yearn for something unexpected, some kind of gilded escape, delivered, perhaps, by an unanticipated inheritance or a winning lottery ticket. ............................ http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conte...9091503393.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 well, as Ralph Cramden said to Alice, "I'm the King and you're nothing" - and she said "so you're the King of Nothing." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
