Degenerate A-holes

Brooke Shields and her Mom

Brooke Shields and her Mom

So here’s two stories that should just make you wanna puke. Out of New Jersey we have the National Enquirer, checking Brooke Shields’ mom out of her nursing home and trying to get stories out of her. Quoting Brooke in People Magazine.
 

My mother Teri Shields has been diagnosed with dementia. For her safety, she has temporarily been in a senior living facility, a very difficult decision for me. Late Thursday afternoon, I was alerted by Old Tappan Police that my mother had been signed out of the facility by two reporters of the National Enquirer … who falsely claimed they were friends of hers. They then drove my 75-year-old mother around looking for a tabloid story. As anyone knows who has a parent who suffers from dementia or Alzheimer’s, it is one of the most difficult experiences you can go through as a son or daughter. The idea that the National Enquirer took advantage of her state is reprehensible and disgusting.

Stun Gun

Stun Gun

Out of Florida, a bunch of prison guards use stun guns on 43 of their own children during “Take Our Children to Work Day,” resulting in at least one hospitalization. Oh, they tear gassed some of them, too. From The Miami Herald, via the Raw Story.
 

One of the fired guards said the practice had occurred before, but so far prison officials have found no evidence that it has happened elsewhere. McNeil noted that the stun guns used differ from ‘Tasers,’ which shoot electrified wires at their targets and deliver a far more powerful dose of amperage.

Oh, don’t worry, they weren’t using Tasers, just stun guns. At least some heads rolled over this one… National Enquirer still has a lot to answer for on it’s end.
