British Dogging It: UK Gay Sex OK in Public



Your Ad Here


Dogging It in Britain:
Political Correctness Turns Creepy






Don't Want to Watch Gay Sex?
"Take Another Path"


It was only a matter of time before tolerance turned to privilege among the politically acceptable victim groups. So the following story in The daily Mail hardly surprises us:

Mother and teenage daughter who stumbled on open air gay sex told to 'use a different path' by police
A mother shocked by seeing two half-naked men having sex while out walking the dogs with her daughter was told by police to take a different route in future.

Marie Cragg, 44, spoke of her disgust at the officers' reaction and said she feared the woodland beauty spot would be turned into a no-go area for ordinary members of the public.

The men seen by Miss Cragg and her 18-year-old daughter Jessica were stripped from the waist down and carried on with their activities even after they knew they had been spotted.

Why would this poor woman and her daughter expect anything different? The whole world has watched as Britain and Canada have descended into some sort of madness. Surely this woman whole-heartedly voted for the politicians who have adopted this insanity as if it were a sign of even handed social policy.

But it is not. Because the same privilege, of open air sex, sodomy, or fellatio are not accorded heterosexuals.

Couple arrested for 'having sex' on crowded train

A couple have been arrested for allegedly having sex in a crowded train carriage.

Other passengers en route from Liverpool to London appear to have sat in embarrassed silence as the 41-year-old woman allegedly committed a sex act on her male partner.

The pair were arrested by police on arrival at Euston station. Officers are believed to have been called after a guard on the Virgin intercity train spotted the couple on CCTV.


And well they should have been arrested. But what about the creeps on the trail?


"You should not have to see that, should you? They can go into the woods and go wherever they want - it's sick.

'They saw me and didn't care and just carried on. I could have been a childminder with kids. I would rather go past a gang of hoodies - they are making the place seedy.'

The encounter happened on a public footpath where Miss Cragg was walking the family dogs, Molly and Ruby, near their home in Penwortham, near Preston, last week.

It follows a briefing last month by the deputy chief constable of Lancashire, Mike Cunningham, in which he called for police to turn a blind eye to outdoor sexual activity.

Under the Sexual Offences Act anyone who takes part in 'dogging', where couples meet for sex in car parks, and cottaging, where men meet for sex in public lavatories, face arrest for outraging public decency, voyeurism and exposure.

But Mr Cunningham, who is also a spokesman on homosexual issues for the Association of Chief Police Officers, argues that offenders should only be prosecuted as a last resort because of the potential impact on their lives of making their activities public."

So there you have it, how special.

What could go wrong?

ABC News Producer Arrested Following Money Trail



Your Ad Here


"You're lucky I didn't knock the f..k out of you."
--Police officer overheard saying to ABC's Asa Eslocker in Denver

Fred Baron Being Shadowed in Denver by ABC?



UPDATES and additions to this story at DBKP.com: ABC News Producer Roughed Up, Arrested by Cops Following Money Trail.

ABC News is trying hard to escape the MSM's sleepwalking mode on the John Edwards' Scandal.

Police in Denver arrested an ABC News producer, Asa Eslocker, as he and cameramen were attempting to videotape lobbyists and big donors--including from one report, Fred Baron--leaving a get-together at the Brown Palace Hotel today in Denver.

A cigar-smoking Denver police sergeant, accompanied by a team of five other officers, first put his hands on Eslocker's neck, then twisted the producers arm behind him to put on handcuffs.

...

Eslocker and his ABC News colleagues are spending the week investigating the role of corporate lobbyists and wealthy donors at the convention for a series of Money Trail reports on ABC World News with Charles Gibson.



[Background information: access over 100 DBKP stories on the John Edwards-Rielle Hunter affair, scandal and cover-up: John Edwards Love Child Scandal Library.]





ABC has apparently been shadowing Baron, among others, this week in Denver at the Democrat National Convention.

Baron brushed them off Tuesday.

Fred Baron, a wealthy Texas trial lawyer and former finance chairman for Edwards' presidential campaign, was seen Tuesday at a private luncheon for top party donors and key senators.

Baron, a longtime major contributor to Democratic candidates, would not answer questions from ABC News and walked away when he saw cameras.

The exclusive lunch was organized by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee for its highest level donor group known at the Legacy Circle. It was one a series of VIP events Baron and other top donors have received throughout the convention from party officials, and which allow donors close access to members of Congress.


Today, it would seem ABC got too far down the trial lawyer money trail that is winding its way through Denver and Eslocker was arrested.

Trial lawyers are the Democrat Party's biggest group of contributors; collectively, the ATLA (American Trial Lawyers Association) flex their monetary muscle whenever there's a Congressman or Senator favoring tort reform, by pouring money in opponents' campaign coffers--most usually that opponent comes from the Democrat Party.

"Police on the scene refused to tell ABC lawyers the charges against the producer, Asa Eslocker, who works with the ABC News investigative unit."

ABC News began running down the John Edwards money trail weeks ago; when ABC Producer, Brian Ross, confronted Edwards with what they had learned about the money trail to mistress, Rielle Hunter, that Edwards agreed to go on Nightline on August 8.

Whether its a trial lawyer TV ad begging viewers to remember if someone has ever wronged them or ABC News after trial lawyers and who their donations might benefit, the old saying still applies:

Follow the money.

Man Arrested for Paddling Kayak in River

"When police and politicians ignore real criminals, many times they compensate by turning everyday behavior into a crime. This helps keep the arrest statistics up."
--RE Bierce

"The law is an ass."
--Mr. Brumble, in Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens

"I refused to pay to paddle the river – it is a matter of principle – everyone should have the right to access water free of charge."

--Nigel Conway, after being arrested for paddling his kayak in a UK river.


Nigel Conway was treated like a criminal--a real criminal: arrested, fingerprinted, mug shots and DNA samples taken. His crime?

Paddling his kayak in a river in North Wales.

Mr Conway's ordeal is the latest controversy for North Wales police, whose chief constable Richard Brunstrom, has a habit of making headlines.

Nicknamed 'the Mad Mullah of the Traffic Taliban' for his zeal on road safety issues, he has called for the number of speed cameras to be trebled, the legalisation of hard drugs and been forced to apologise for handing out pictures of a decapitated motorcyclist without the permission of the victim's family.

Mr Brunstrom also defied Crown Prosecution Service advice by investigating claims that Tony Blair shouted 'f****** Welsh' after Labour's poor performance in the 1999 Welsh Assembly election.

Arthur Roberts, spokesman for campaigners People for Proper Policing, said: 'This beggars belief. It is another example of North Wales police going too far and criminalizing innocent members of the public trying to go about their daily lives.

'Not content with making the lives of motorists a misery, it seems North Wales police are going for canoeists as well. This is a total waste of taxpayers' money.'




British cops, never there when you need them; always there if no risk is involved.

MD Police Arrest Boy for Going Topless

When Morons Rule the Earth



Easton, Maryland has demonstrated with alacrity how stupid Americans can be. To wit, the authorities seem unable to discern that there are some very noticeable differences between the sexes. (psst. don't tell the kids, but women have breasts).

"For only the third time in five years, Easton police have ticketed someone for going topless in public. Sean Cephus, 18, was cited June 4 when police say he was spotted without a shirt on South Street near Hanson Street. He was also cited for failing to obey a lawful order to stop for police."


He likely didn't stop because he thought them kidding.

But they were not. No, this is a serious issue in Easton, as shown by the need to arrest someone every few years or so. By golly,"Easton Police Lt. Gregory Wright said people without shirts are considered a public nuisance. He said three citations have been issued since 2003."

In an effort to partner up with law enforcement, DBKP presents to all the authorities of Easton, the following photos. They demonstrate the difference between the sexes, as well as acceptable--and nonacceptable--public dress.

THIS IS OK.




THIS IS NOT SO GOOD.



THIS MAN NEEDS TO BE ARRESTED.

Smoke Nazis: Man Arrested for Dropping Ash onto Pavement



Smoke Nazis never declare victory.

Not content with making it an offense to puff at work or in public--and in some places, private cars and apartments--one man went to court for dropping his cigarette ash on a pavement.

Smoker Daniel Slaney ended up in court after the computer programmer, 37, was having a quick smoke as he walked to work.

In the U.K., not one, but two council wardens accused him of throwing his cigarette end away and handed him a £40 fine for littering in Sandiacre, near Nottingham.
Daniel refused to pay and told Southern Derbyshire Magistrates he always carried an old packet for his butts as he was against littering.

Magistrate Geoffrey Dennis threw out the case. He said: “This would seem to be an example of overzealous officialdom.”

Saved by the judge--this time.

But here's a prediction: it won't be the last time this happens.

Mark it down.

Man Throws Away Woman's Needles, Slashes Her Tires, Then Returns to Pour Sugar in Woman's Gas Tank

One More Heroin User Succumbs to an Urban Legend


If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.

A Massachusetts man got off for slashing a woman's tires, then returned 20 minutes later and was arrested for pouring sugar into her gas tank.
James Hoover got off the hook for slashing a woman's tire because the victim declined to press charges, according to a report by Officer Francis Bradley.

The officer told Hoover, 36, of 200 Parker St., Unit 11, he was lucky, and Hoover replied, "Yeah, that was dumb and I shouldn't have done it," the report said.

Hoover and the woman had argued at 200 Parker St., and police were called at 8:13 p.m. Monday. The officer escorted Hoover away from the scene, however, the victim called police 22 minutes later to say Hoover was back and he did more damage. The victim told police that after they left, Hoover returned and poured sugar into her car's gas tank. Police saw what looked like sugar caked around the gas reservoir, along with a flat tire, the report said.

Bradley arrested Hoover, and Hoover told the officer he and the victim are heroin users and the argument stemmed from him throwing away her needles, and that he wanted to get clean, the report said.




Poor Hoover can't catch a break.

First, his needles. Then, he's jailed. Finally, the effects of sugar in the gas tank are mostly rumors and hear-say.

Another heroin user succumbs to an urban legend.
Putting sugar or water in the gas tank of a vehicle can indeed cause the engine to stall -- sugar because the granules won't dissolve in gasoline and may clog the fuel filter; water because it interrupts combustion -- but neither method will produce a predictably-timed engine failure. Depending on the quantity of the foreign substance introduced, it might take minutes, hours, or even days for the stall to occur, if it occurs at all.

Hoover copped an attitude when he got to the police station, calling the officers "a joke". The police delivered their punchline by charging him with willful and malicious injury to personal property.

Hoover later calmed down and apologized.

If the perp had pour straight H20 into the woman's gas tank, he'd have accomplished the same thing as pouring the sugar--and there would have been no residue around the gas tank opening.

But Hoover seems the persistent sort.

Maybe next time.

Boeing Engineer Arrested for Spying

Gave Space Shuttle Secrets to China

UPDATE: 3 More Charged with Spying



"He spied for his home country out of love for "the motherland" rather than from a desire to get rich."

Another spy arrested.

Again, for giving secrets to China.

This time, it's "exposed trade secrets from the space shuttle, the Delta IV rocket and the C-17 military transport aircraft."

The Justice Department is reporting that former Boeing engineer Dongfan “Greg” Chung, 72, of Orange, Calif was arrested on espionage charges early this morning. The indictment contends that Chung a former Rockwell employee, and subsequently Boeing engineer sold or gave secrets concerning the Space Shuttle to the Peoples Republic of China (PRC).

The press release claims that Chung was arrested without incident at his home in California.
The indictment, which apparently was finalized last Wednesday accuses Chung of eight counts of economic espionage, one count of conspiracy to commit economic espionage, one count of acting as an unregistered foreign agent without prior notification to the Attorney General, one count of obstruction of justice, and three counts of making false statements to FBI investigators.

The 72-year-old Chung was involved with the Space Shuttle up until his retirement in 2002, however he was brought back as a consultant until 2006.

The indictment alleges that he took and concealed Boeing trade secrets relating to the Space Shuttle, the C-17 military transport aircraft and the Delta IV rocket while employed on the project. Chung allegedly obtained the materials for the benefit of the PRC.




According to Thomas P. O'Brien, the U.S. attorney in Los Angeles, "He spied for his home country out of love for "the motherland" rather than from a desire to get rich."

If found guilty, Chung can expect to live out the rest of his days behind bars: each of the major counts carries a 15-year prison term.

He was expected to make a brief appearance in court yesterday or today.

The Chinese have made War in Space a top priority and have experimented over the last year with methods of knocking out U.S. satellites, rendering America "electronically blind" in any confrontation with the People's Republic.

At least the authorities have caught this spy.

How many are walking around free?


UPDATE: 3 others have also been charged with spying. From AFP:
A US defense official, an ex-Boeing engineer and two others were charged Monday with spying for China involving sensitive military and aerospace secrets, including on the space shuttle.

The four were linked to two espionage conspiracies, which the US Justice Department said posed a "grave danger" to national security.

Pentagon official Gregg William Bergersen, Chinese citizen Yu Xin Kang and Taiwan-born US citizen Tai Shen Kuo were accused of passing classified information to China, mostly pertaining to US military sales to Taiwan, according to Justice Department officials.

Bergersen, 51, is a weapons systems policy analyst at the Pentagon's Defense Security Cooperation Agency, which implement the US Defense Department's foreign military sales program.

Will there be others?

Real Housewives: Jeanna's Husband, 6 Months in Jailhouse


Real life means jail time for one of the reality "stars" of the Real Housewives of Orange County.

Jeanna's soon to be ex-husband, Matt Keough, was sentenced to six months in jail and had his probation reinstated. Judge Thomas Borris had the discretion to sentence Keough to up to 5 years in prison for violating the terms of his parole. The site, The Insider, has more.

An ex-all star pitcher for the Oakland A's, Keough's troubles with the bottle has been a taboo topic on the popular Bravo TV reality series, Real Housewives of Orange County.





Keough, rarely seen during the series' first two seasons, was battling his own demons, that of probation officers, rehabs, and attempts to curb binge drinking.

This season on Real Housewives has Jeanna dealing with the breakup of her marriage with Matt. The reasons given didn't include Matt serving a seven week sentence in the Newport Beach City Jail.

Matt had been released less than a week earlier from the Newport Jail. His parole was based on an incident in 2005 where Keough's life began to spiral further out of control after getting convicted of DUI and leaving the scene of an accident.

Keough checked himself into the Betty Ford Clinic for a month plus a five months' stint at Sober Living by the Sea, a Newport Beach outpatient program. Matt's absences from the show were explained as "Dad's away working."

Keough was arrested on December 18th after spending "several" days binge drinking at a local hotel. This violated the terms of the 2005 incident and incurred the wrath of the judge who ordered Keough to remain in jail until the January 11th decision by Judge Borris. Borris told Keough that this was his "last chance."

Keough's attorney, Joseph McGinley, said his client was committed to getting the help he needs.

Keough's life wasn't always a grim fight with alcohol and irate judges. He was named to the All-Star Team his rookie season in 1978 with the Athletics with an ERA of 3.24 and a 8-15 won-loss record.

Matt's success was up and down. The next season his pitching was dismal, but by the next year he had a resurgence. He married Jeanna, a former Playboy centerfold, in 1980. By 1983 he was traded to the Yankees and struggled with a rotator cuff injury which placed him on the disabled list.

In 1984 his career landed in the minors. He went over to Japan in 1987 where he pitched for the Hanshin Tigers until 1990.

Matt tried out with the 91' Angels and failed to make the cut. The following year he was in the process of trying out once again for the Angels when he was hit by a foul ball while sitting in the dugout.
In 1992, Keough was nearly killed when he was hit in the head by a line drive while sitting in the dugout during an Anaheim Angels exhibition game at spring training in Arizona.

"We're convinced that this (drinking) is related to the brain injury that he suffered," Keough's attorney, Dan Grigsby, said Friday.

Grigsby said. "I've known him since high school and he hasn't been the same since."
Source - SFGate
The ball struck him in the right temple. His injury, life threatening, was the final blow to his career.

Matt worked as a minor league scout for the Angels from 92 to 99. He went to work for the General Manager of the Oakland A's, then alcohol came into play.

In April of 2005:
Keough, 52, spent three months behind bars after pleading guilty to drunken driving for a 2005 accident. Authorities said Keough was driving to his home in Coto de Caza when his sport utility vehicle rear-ended another SUV at a red light in Rancho Santa Margarita. The other car was pushed into a man who was pushing a bicycle across the street. The man was briefly hospitalized for a knee injury.

The incident occurred after a family fight and Keough's blood-alcohol level was found to be 2 1/2 times the legal limit, authorities said. Source - SFGate
One month earlier, the hit Reality series, Real Housewives of Orange County made its premier.
The Real Housewives of Orange County" will follow five sophisticated women and their families who lead glamorous lives in a picturesque Southern California gated community where the average home has a $1.6 million price tag and residents include CEOs and retired professional athletes. Orange County "housewives" Kimberly, Jeana, Vicki, Lauri and Jo are used to the good life and will do everything they can to hang on to it. The women each have their own personal story to share, and they've granted Bravo an all-access pass into their lives, families, friendships, careers, and homes. From diamond parties to Botox sessions to the stress of having a high-powered career, the women take viewers along for the ride and into their real-life dramas that show how life isn't always perfect behind the gates. Just what lies beneath the surface of this "perfect" community? Source - Reality TV

Meet Jeanna:
Full name is Jeana Keough.
40-something.
Former Playboy Playmate and actress.
Wife of Matt Keough, a former major league baseball star.
Mother of three teenagers.
Sells real estate "for fun."

Jeanna and Matt's problem with alcoholism are no different than millions of other Americans.
According to the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, almost 18 million Americans abuse alcohol. Each year more than 100,000 Americans die of alcohol-related causes. Alcohol is a factor in nearly half of all U.S. traffic deaths.

Alcoholism and alcohol abuse cause major social, economic and public health problems. Various treatments are available, and self-help groups can provide ongoing support for people recovering from alcoholism. Source - Mayo Clinic
The Judge's sentence was Matt's second strike but it might also save his life. As for Jeanna, perhaps her life is the most "real" of the Real Housewives, her recent success grounded by the sobering reality of Matt's struggle with alcohol, their problems, too taboo for even the "reality" of Real Housewives.

David Copperfield Revealed:
Taught Crew How to Pick Up Girls



David Copperfield could make more than elephants disappear. Husbands and boyfriends of attractive women also were on his list.

David Copperfield had one of his tricks revealed--and it had nothing to do with his act. The magician had a assistants scout the audience for attractive women and then would he would try to make their husbands and boyfriends disappear.

More info revealing the magician's tricks from Celebrity Cowboy:
David Copperfield goes to great lengths to pick up girls after his show. So great that he actually has paperwork detailing the instructions. Basically, assistants armed with digital cameras, clipboards and other paraphernalia are instructed to be on the lookout for attractive women. Women and their guests are invited backstage, but the paperwork does offer instructions as to what to do with husbands and boyfriends.

It’s almost like those time share people that annoy you at malls and other places. The assistants have you the women fill out questionnaires with questions like “who did you come to Las Vegas with, husband? Boyfriend? Father? They then talk up David’s property in the Bahamas. ”

TMZ who obtained the document also obtained this letter threatening employees if they break their confidentiality agreements. Oh David, don’t you know nothing is confidential in the Internet age.
A magician never reveals his secrets. In Copperfield's case, it's probably just as well. A crowd of angry husbands is not the best crowd for an entertainer.
