                                        BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE THE MONEY IS.

                                                  These are the famous words of 1940′s bank robber and prison escapee, Willie Sutton, when asked why he robbed banks.

 … Think about it.

Birdsong continues to troll the wire services and the papers for weird criminal law stories.  Here are a few more.  They are all true stories.

Brooklyn, NY: A one legged hooker was killed in Brooklyn after a John hit her over the head, causing her to fall backwards out of her wheelchair and slam her skull against a wall.  Elizabeth Acevedo, 38, was found by police laying unconscious on the 13^th floor of the building in which she lived.  She died after being taken to the hospital.  Acevedo, who lost her leg in an accident involving a train, had a rap sheet with 67 arrests for prostitution and drug charges.  She wore a prosthetic leg, but also used a wheelchair. Police believe she may have being servicing a John who hit her on the head.  No suspects have been found.

Gosh, how darn pathetic can the human condition get?

Atlanta, GA: This debate got too heated. Seems two debate team coaches got into a profanity laced argument that ended when one yanked his pants down and mooned the other debater. 

 On September 1, 2008, a ticked off Reader wrote this rant to the Orlando Sentinel Newspaper:

“Something is wrong when kids run wild and dogs go to obedience school.”

…Think about it!

Birdsong is off on a faculty recruiting trip during the last part of this historic week but he just wanted to say:

BIRDSONG IS PROUD OF THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE RUN BY BARACK OBAMA. 

 THE DIGNITY AND HOPE  WHICH OBAMA HAS BROUGHT TO AMERICAN POLITICS IS BEING RECOGNIZED THE WORLD OVER.

The election is over.  Birdsong returns to weird criminal law stories.  Dig this…

Switzerland:  No one was arrested, but thank God it wasn’t real. A giant inflatable replica of dog poo blew away from an outdoor art exhibition in Switzerland, tearing down power lines and damaging homes in its path.  The house sized replica turd, was ultimately corralled and brought back to the exhibition.
