My friend sent me this story and I found it amusing and somewhat applicable to this class, so I thought I would share it. I don’t have a link as she just copied and pasted it, so I will do the same:
CRIME OF PASSION: “It was weird the way this all came down,” said a
spokeswoman for the Louisiana State Police. A woman called to say she
had received a phone call after midnight from a man who exclaimed, “I
have killed them all!” Using the Caller ID on the woman’s phone,
officers tracked the call to Thomas Ballard, 29, of Delhi. Upon their
arrival at his house, they found that Ballard had won a video game by
“killing” all the “bad guys” — and had called a friend to brag. He got
a wrong number. No dead bodies were found in his house, but officers
found he had an outstanding warrant on a drug charge, and arrested him.
(Monroe News-Star) …No sense in wasting a trip out to the sticks.
