A memory of the wildest ever story just came to me and I wanna hear from everyone.
CONTENT WARNING: NSFW, NSFL:
A teenage boy stole his neighbours chicken, then raped and it died during the incident. Yes a chicken.
The neighbour reported it. There were 2 eye witnesses. Medical examination of the chicken confirmed it.
The boy was arrested, confessed and tried. At this point this was national news.
In his defense the dude said, and I kid you not, the chicken was asking for it.
This is one of those news stories that I think about from time to time and wonder what happened to that dude.
Happened in like 2018 I wanna say.
the chicken was asking for it.
filthy fowl fucker
20 years after the chicken lover episode of South Park…
This was an urban legend when I was a kid in the 70s
My favorite from my time working in the news industry:
Neighbor puts toilets in their yard facing other neighbors house. That neighbor builds a fence so they don’t have to look at the toilets. Original neighbor then hangs toilets from the tree so it is visible over the fence. Cue complaints to get toilets removed by city/county.
I believe the original dispute had to do with tearing out a shared bush and parking on lawn, but I don’t recall the details.
What might the public shitting accomplish tho?? I’m so confused 😭
Some folks were killed in a molasses flood, others were injured… the streets in the area would reek of molasses for decades after on hot summer days.
That is insane!
It’s even worse than you might imagine
Corrupt sheriff was brought down by a University student.. Whitley county is the only one that doesn’t send drugs for disposal to a central statewide disposal facility. Nobody can prove corruptions until two students start digging. Cops get mad and start threatening them. Money laundering, theft, extortion, threats are all uncovered. Lexigton police finally bust the guy for 18 year sentence. Not a single blip in the national news. I often wonder if there’s more justice stories out there that we never hear because it isn’t useful as a component of a larger narrative.
About 10 years ago someone actually burned to death from static discharge at a gas pump like 2 miles down the road from my house. It’s extremely rare, but it does happen.
The attempted robbery of the Hyde Museum
Two guys, one of whom pretending to be a Vanderbilt, attempted to rob a museum but were foiled by getting stuck in holiday traffic in their stolen delivery van.
One of the guys was a suspect in the Isabella Stewart Gardner robbery about a decade later.
I have two.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1981_Brink’s_robbery Summary: an armored car was robbed by desperate “most-wanted” types. Bug national new.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilchrest_Road,_New_York,_crossing_accident Summary: school bus full of kids hit by a train. The reason why “this vehicle stops at all rr crossings” is a thing.

That is usually what Nazis say about other people that display swastikas.
A monster from the woods kept massacring farmers’ livestock so the Governor led an expedition to kill it. He was so thoroughly terrified by the experience that he ran out of the forest. The monster was never found.
Bro lives in D&D
The whole Lorena Bobbit thing happened in my home town.
In the city where i live right now, in 1975, two teenagers, a 16 years old male, and a 13 years old female, went for a motorbike ride in a field next to a wood. They never came back. Their bodies were found, shot point blank by 22 caliber in the head and in the chest. Their bodies were placed one over the other voluntarily. There were some claims that they were also found naked, but police data isn’t clear about that. They never found what really happened.

Here’s just a small sample from 11 years ago, before I even lived here. I think my favorite is the 200+ pounds of marijuana falling out of the sky

Here’s a link since Huff Post removed the article
In my little college town, there was this intense party culture. No frats, just kegs. In the 80s, apparently a school wide party became so large the local police force was unable to shut it down. The students commandeered an entire apartment building, and everyone just kinda had to wait for it to be over when they said.
Well I live in Philadelphia, and just in the decade I’ve been here, I’ve seen some shit.
The unsolved Hitchbot murder, and then a local radio station’s attempt to repair our good name before the Pope arrived.
The dumpster pools in Kensington.
When the Eagles won the Super Bowl and chaos ensued. I can’t find any source on this in particular, but my gf and I agree we heard on the police scanners that a giraffe had been freed from the zoo and was running down Girard.
Drumline Elmo, who has become as big a celebrity in the city as Gritty.
Gritty, who is a national hero in our eyes.
All of which doesn’t even factor in the everyday life crazy. This place is wild, and I’m all for it.
I’m Canadian and love Gritty. I wish more mascots were vaguely threatening and loved lists.
It’s too quiet here, nothing comes to mind thinking of anything bizarre. Maybe that time people tried long-distance sabotaging one of the nearby buildings promoted on the historic registry as the bed and breakfast, only to learn late the registry leaves out its modern bank status, causing the act to be processed like bank robbery laws.
