Two More Arrested in Area Hit-And-Run-And-Burn-Up-The-Car
So a couple days ago a father-and-son were arrested with the son being charged for the brutal hit-and-run of Kimberly Ann Potter of Bend. Now two more were arrested in association with the mess:
Two Bend men, one returning from Klamath Falls, were arrested Thursday on arson charges, accused of helping to burn a car involved in a violent, deadly hit-and-run crash on Third Street earlier this week.
The arrests of Eric Allen Brown, 20, and Robert Jennings Battles, 19, on second-degree arson charges come more than two days after a car allegedly driven by Christopher Goodson, 22, of El Cajon, Calif., struck and killed Kimberly Ann Potter, 41, also of Bend, as she rode her bike up Third Street early Tuesday.
Brown is Goodson’s stepbrother and lives at the Full Moon Drive apartment in northeast Bend where Goodson was found hiding Tuesday night, said police Capt. Jim Porter.
According to the bio/obit of Kim linked above, she frequently went out for bike rides at night if she couldn’t sleep, and was probably just taking another one of those rides that night.
The comments on my last post about this have gotten interesting, with folks, for some odd reason, coming out in support of the alleged crooks (including an apparent comment from Christopher Goodson’s girlfriend). The problem is there are obviously some real jerks that are browsing this site and harassing people who are posting critical comments about these guys. I’ve gotten private emails from folks who have commented there who have said they have gotten threatening email from folks. Classy, guys, really classy. Those e-mails are getting forwarded to local police departments, and if anybody sends me an e-mail threat, I’ll be doing the same and helping the police find the people responsible. I did help the Bend Police arrest this morons, getting them IP addresses, videos, and helping out their IT department with conversion and such. I will have no problems with doing the same with anything that comes my way.
Feel free to comment on this story, on Kimberly, or anything, either below or over at Bend Forums.
But keep it civil and constructive, folks, because if law enforcement wants my help, they’re going to get it.
Virginia Tech Killer Sends Package To NBC
OK, I said already that I was done talking about this tragedy, but this is just too weird (and scary).
Sometime after he killed two people in a Virginia university dormitory but before he slaughtered 30 more in a classroom building, Cho Seung-Hui mailed NBC News a large package including photographs and videos Monday morning, boasting, “When the time came, I did it. I had to.”
MSNBC’s site has excerpts from the videos on their site (the original package and videos have been handed over to Federal authorities). But just glancing at the pictures, videos, and writings included in that package just scares me even more.
Ever Slipped On A Treadmill?
It hurts like heck when you eat it on a treadmill. I have a feeling, though, that the consequences for going off this treadmill are far more dire.
That looks like a dangerous desk job.
Thanks Geeologie for the link.
We Know The Father Of Anna Nicole’s Baby
I’m not going to even bother linking to the story of who the dad is (go find it), but I just hope that now that this information is released, this will be the last we hear of this whole mess for a good long time. I don’t know about everybody else here, but I couldn’t care any less about some celebrity’s messed up life. I feel horrible for her innocent daughter because she’s innocently being born into this mess.
The only reason I even know this happened is because a co-worker, who apparently has more free time than some of us, came running in telling us that they know who the dad is. Who frickin’ cares? While it’s tragic that she died (as it is for anybody), it’s not worth the coverage she has gotten.
I’m Not A Drinker…
…and even if I was, I still couldn’t justify $1700 for a bottle of cognac (though 24 bottles have been sold in Oregon in the last year, so somebody must be drinking it).
Ladies: A New Way To Impress The Men
Looking to garner a bit more attention on the singles scene? Get yourself a bra that not only makes your chest bigger, but you’ll have beer on demand (and they are looking for beta testers, so if anybody gets one of these things, I demands pics).
Guys, not to be left out, they do make a similar product for men.
Thanks Michelle for the link.
How Many Reporters Does It Take To Change A Lightbulb?
If you’re at the BBC, zero, because you’re not allowed to do it.
More Oddball Commercials
While the gun rental commercial ranks up there as one of the weirdest commercials I’ve seen, this whole series of 10 second commercials from the Krass Brothers has to be right up there, too (and I still don’t know what the heck they sell)…
Bollywood Does The Beatles
This is the most disturbing thing I’ve seen all day…
