I hear stories like these all the time anymore, and worse about people brutally killing their partner or kids violently.
Here are just two of the milder examples that I hear too often that make me think people are really losing it.
New York 3 guys living in a Hell's Kitchen apartment. One is old and dies of natural causes. The other two guys come up with the genius plan of wheeling his corpse in a computer chair down to the check casher to collect on the dead dude's social security.
The cashier sees the body, bystanders see the body, cops see the body. Everyone realizes he is dead. Nobody is fooled.
The kicker is that the DA right now is trying to bring charges against the men but the most they can come up with right now is check fraud.
---------------------------------
HAYDEN, Idaho — A man who believed he bore the "mark of the beast" amputated one of his hands, put it in a microwave and summoned authorities, Kootenai County sheriff's deputies say.
The man, in his mid-20s, was calm when deputies arrived at his home in this north Idaho town Saturday afternoon, and neither he nor the severed hand bore any noticeable tattoo or other mark, sheriff's Capt. Ben Wolfinger.
The man, whose name was withheld, was in protective custody in the mental health unit of Kootenai Medical Center in Coeur d'Alene, where he and the hand were taken by ambulance. Hospital spokeswoman Lisa Johnson would not say whether an attempt was made to reattach the hand, citing patient confidentiality restrictions.
"He put a tourniquet on his arm before, so he didn't bleed to death," Wolfinger said. " That kind of mental illness is just sad."
Is there any sanity left anywhere??
