Just Shoot Me!

A painting of Santa Claus on a plywood sheet at Tracy's Christmas Tree Lot in Turlock, Calif., has brought a complaint from a shopper: it depicts Santa in a cowboy hat and a gun belt. The company has used it every Christmas for 20 years. "Santa is made for love, bringing families together," complained Monica Sliva, "not carrying weapons."

Lot owner Bobby Vierra shrugged it off. "You know, it's just a cowboy. We're just trying to sell trees out here."

 But Sliva says the decoration "portrays to the kids that it's OK for Santa to be carrying a gun and therefore it's OK for them to be carrying a gun." (RC/KCRA-TV) ...

THE VERDICT: "Shut the heck up and put out some cookies and milk, Lady!"

This is one tough old broad: not only did she break into an building to--allegedly--steal some stuff, but then fought off several cops, hitting one of them with a chair. Even after being Tasered once, Irene "Don't Mess With Me" Bramwell continued to fight and caused an officer to accidentally discharge his Taser, shooting himself in the finger. Eventually they got her under control, but she wasn't going to go down easy.

The officers found Bramwell in the basement after entering the building, officials said. Bramwell threw a wooden chair at one of the officers, striking the person in the right arm, officials said.  As Bramwell continued to resist arrest, the other officer took out a Taser and fired it at the woman, striking her, officials said.

Even though she had been struck by the Taser, Bramwell continued to flail her arms and resist the officers, officials said. As the woman continued to resist arrest, the officer who earlier Tasered her set up the Taser again.  She continued to flail her arms, causing the officer to accidentally discharge the Taser and shoot himself in the pinky finger of his left hand, officials said.

Francisco Hernandez, 22, stopped by a burger restaurant in Pico Rivera, Calif., to ask his girlfriend the question... "Stacy Will You Marry Me?" was written on the back window of his car, but "She said no," said Lt. Andrew Berg of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. "He was a little unhappy with that." Hernandez allegedly went back to his car and drove it onto the sidewalk and tried to run the woman down, but missed her. He escaped, driving away with two flat tires. As deputies headed to his house to talk with him, "our helicopter guys spotted him walking down the street carrying a bouquet of flowers," Berg said. Hernandez was arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon. (RC/Los Angeles Times)

THE VERDICT: Apparently he was on his way to ask his second choice's.

When Anne Semenovich, 74, of Spruce Grove, B.C., Canada, told scrap metals yard owner Vic Small why she wanted to purchase an incinerator from him, he didn't believe it. "She said she wanted to burn her husband there," he said later. Thinking she wasn't "all there," he instead dealt with her daughter, Laurie. Later, Laurie called for him to check the machine because it wasn't working. When he arrived and looked inside, Small found Alex Semenovich, 77, Anne's husband of 50 years, stuffed inside. Prosecutors say Anne shot her husband in the head, and then recruited her grandson and Laurie to help move the body. But after dragging the 240-pound man to the incinerator, it apparently wouldn't start, so they called Small, who called police.

 Semenovich was charged with first-degree murder, and surprised the court by pleading guilty to manslaughter. She was sentenced to the minimum, 4 years in prison. (MS/Vancouver Sun)

THE VERDICT: For sale: One incinerator, only used once. Recommended for disposal of objects less than 240 pounds.

Colleen Frable was upset when she got home from work and found her unemployed boyfriend, Darren Suchon, 42, had spent the entire day playing video games. The next day, when she left for work, she took the PlayStation console with her. As she drove down the highway through Lehigh Township, Pa., she noticed her own Porsche gaining on her, with Suchon at the wheel, flailing his arms trying to get her to stop. He allegedly forced her off the road twice, and rammed her at a stop light, all in an attempt to get the game back, she said. She didn't relent, and called 911. Suchon was charged with assault, reckless endangerment, harassment, disorderly conduct, reckless driving, and driving with a suspended or revoked license, and held on $25,000 bail. (Allentown Morning Call)

THE VERDICT: Let's just hope that was his "Final Fantasy".
