This is Milton Harper and his wife of 24 years, Patricia Harper.

Up until 2005, Milton and Patricia Harper used to have a big problem with their septic tank. For some reason, every time the area had rain the septic tank their house was connected to would throw raw sewage right back into their home.

Times are hard all over – especially when one spouse doesn’t work – and since Patricia Harper is a stay-at-home mom while Milton Harper runs his own home-security business, they never seemed to scrape enough money together to get that septic tank completely fixed.

And really, up until 2005 you had to feel for the Harpers. It can’t be good living in fear of rain and raw sewage.

This is 19-year-old James Broadnax.

James Broadnax is a hardcore entrepreneur. A drug dealer, thief and gang member, James Broadnax knows where the money is and he knows how to get it.

Not wanting to get a paper route or other job so that he could actually earn the things he wanted, on the 18th of June, 2008, James Broadnax and his 19-year-old cousin, Demarius Cummings, hopped on a bus to Garland, Texas – a suburb of Dallas, Texas with a large caucasian population.

Why Garland?

Well, according to James Broadnax, if you’re going to rob somebody, you go where the money is:

One of the best spots is Garland because that’s where all the rich, white people stay at.

On the 15th of July, 2008, 75-year-old Olga Rutterschmidt and 77-year-old Helen Golay were sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for their murder of two homeless men that were insured for a combined total of 2.8 million dollars.

According to the judge who sentenced the two women:

These unfortunate men were sacrificed on your altars of greed.

L.A. County Superior Court Judge David S. Wesley couldn’t help but point out again the fact that Olga Rutterschmidt had berated her partner, Helen Golay, for displaying the characteristic that they both shared:

During this trial, Ms. Rutterschmidt, you recognized something in Ms. Golay that you had not recognized of yourself when you pointed your finger at her and said, ‘You’re greedy,’

This is 56-year-old Alan Patton.

Alan Patton has an interesting hobby, which is called Urophagia.

Basically, good ol’ Alan Patton here, who looks slightly like a goon from Popeye cartoons, likes to collect urine from young boys.

And, once Mr. Patton collects the urine, he likes to drink it.

Not surprisingly, Alan Patton is a registered sexual offender. Back in 1994, Mr. Patton served four years in prison after pleading guilty to a charge of gross sexual imposition after raping an 8-year-old boy.

In 2006, Alan Patton was caught in a movie theater as he was in the process of watching little boys go to the bathroom. When police questioned him, Alan Patton admitted that he was trying to collect the little boys’ urine, in some cases even paying the kids to give it to him.

This is 52-year-old David Workman, enjoying himself while supporting local girls trying to get through college.

Apparently, David Workman is a regular at this club.

A guy has to have a hobby, you know?

Most recently, David Workman has been one of three part-time investigators for the Jefferson County Coroner’s Office. David Workman has been an employee there for the past seven years.

On the 2nd of June, 2008, a 51-year-old man named Joseph VerStraten was riding his motorcycle when a pickup truck went over the center line and hit Mr. VerStraten head-on. This collision killed Joseph VerStraten and, because the county coroner’s office has to get blood samples from anyone killed in a vehicle collision in order to find out if there’s any alcohol or drugs in the victim’s blood, Joseph VerStraten was brought to David Workman.

David Gabriel Watson ignored rule #2 in the “So You’re Getting Married – haha SUCKER!” handbook.

Rule #2 reads – Don’t ask your fiance to increase his or her life insurance. It could leave either your fiance or the authorities to believe that you are trying to kill your soon-to-be spouse.

And that’s just what happened to David Gabriel Watson. Mr. Watson, who lost his wife, 26-year-old fashion model Christina Mae Watson, in a tragic scuba-diving accident 11 days after they were married, has been accused of helping along the incident – making it somewhat less accidental than it may have first appeared.

It’s not good when the people you’re hiring to keep illegal immigration from happening turn out to be the people who help make illegal immigration happen.

Christopher Saint Lucero and Manley Lamont Smith, two employees of the Wackenhut Corporation, a private security and investigation firm that was originally created by three former FBI agents way back in the 1950′s, are being accused of offering to smuggle a few illegal immigrants into the country.

Their price? $2500 each.

Cheap!

When you’re 18, you really have most of your whole life in front of you. The world is out there, waiting for you to make a difference.

If you put your best foot forward, you can go far. There’s a lot of opportunity out there for those of you with drive and ambition.

18-year-old Joshua James Cannon was arrested and convicted of sexually molesting a 5-year-old child a few years back, and since then he hasn’t exactly been putting his best foot forward.

Just after midnight on the morning of the 16th of May, 2008, Joshua Cannon found himself on the doorstep of a 63-year-old woman, a grandmother, who was home alone.
