Pissed-Off Citizen Drives Car through City Hall, Oh he was hearing voices in his head that night 

Wichita, Kansas — Marcus Johnson, a 33-year-old Wichita man was sentenced to 10 years in jail for crashing through Wichita’s City Hall. Investigators say he was angry because cop told him to turn down his car radio.

Johnson was sentenced to 122 months in jail after causing some $200,000 in damages when his vehicle burst through City Hall’s doors and continued through the facility.

According to police, Johnson became angered when a police officer told him to turn down the music in his car as he was parked at a convenience store.

In retaliation, Johnson drove his vehicle to downtown Wichita, pulled into the City Hall parking lot and drove right through the east-facing doors of the building. Investigators estimate Johnson was traveling at about 45 mph when his vehicle broke through the doors.

Investigators say Johnson’s vehicle continued in an almost-perfect line down a hallway that extended to the west side of the building where Johnson’s vehicle was finally stopped.

Surveillance video shows Johnson’s car as it broke through revolving doors, solid doors, through a hallway and into the west side security area. Security personnel were captured standing in the path of the car just moments before it crashed through. The vehicle destroyed thousands of dollars in computers and security equipment.

Johnson plead ‘no contest’ to criminal damage to property, battery on a law enforcement officer and two counts of criminal threat.

During sentencing, Johnson asked the judge for leniency, claiming he had been hearing voices in his head that night.

A Rare Situation where a Girl gets to Ride her Pet  

Hannah Simpson, of Southland, New Zealand, rides a 7-year-old dairy cow most days. It started when her parents said she wasn’t allowed to have a horse, the then-11-year-old got creative. Now she and Lilac race across fields and master jumps, as documented on Simpson’s Instagram page. Simpson, who works at a dairy farm, says she’s tried to ride other cows but has only had one other that could jump. While Simpson admits she was a particularly adventurous kid when she started, she wouldn’t necessarily advise other people to try riding cows.

In the United States some rodeos have cow riding for women. These are not docile dairy cows, but mean ornery spinster cows. Hannah should consider joining the circuit.

The Heights of Hollywood Celebrities and World leaders

Tall, small, big, short, it makes no difference. Unless of course you are a middle linebacker or a jockey. Despite the trivial nature of this post, there are some surprising revelations here.  Never realized Snooky was 4’8″, and Seth Green was 5’4″.

There is a bit of redundancy here, it was necessary to include as many people as possible.

Sasquatch Horror Movies 

I never realized there was such a plethora of Sasquatch horror movies.  I thought all Squatches were benevolent, gentle giants like Harry in Harry and the Henderson’s.  But I guess if one of these big furry behemoths ever contracted rabies or some other evil bug it could really wreak havoc.  Imagine a 900 pound 9 foot tall bipedal berserk gorilla busting through your front door looking for blood.  Time to run to the concrete tornado shelter and lock up the steel door.  Oh God, I forgot the wife and kids!
