This guy has some wild court filings. Sadly, if he was doing something with gas and flares, he's probably dead.

 

Yoo v. Rochester Gen. Hosp.
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
Jul 24, 2018
18-CV-6398 CJS (W.D.N.Y. Jul. 24, 2018)

Quote

The Court has carefully reviewed each page of Plaintiff's submissions. Plaintiff's Complaint consists of delusional-sounding allegations intermixed with other statements that seem more factual. The allegations concern matters from Plaintiff's childhood to the present. The allegations frequently involve Plaintiff's interactions with his sister and wife. The pleading includes references to Plaintiff being hospitalized at RGH against his will, and to various contacts with law enforcement. The Complaint also alludes to Plaintiff's impending divorce from his wife. Ultimately, the Complaint indicates that Plaintiff believes he is the victim of conspiracy against him by his sister, his ex-wife, and others including RGH.

...

Quote

Before today this Court has rarely if ever had the occasion to sua sponte dismiss the action of a pro se litigant who has paid the filing fee. However, this action is so plainly frivolous, and it's allegations are so clearly "the product of delusion or fantasy," that it cannot be permitted to proceed. For the same reasons, it would be pointless to allow any further amendment of the pleading.

Assuming it's the guy that everyone says it is.  

 

I just went thru the 2018 lawsuit.  Its 162 pages.  Not going to discuss the source,  but its publically available.  He tells his life story.  I can't tell why be includes dates of Presidents in power. He was born in 1967 -- so he's likely 56 years old.

 

Sadly, he lost his parents suddenly --at 23 (dad) and mom at 25.  Its not shockingly young, but he makes them both sound unexpected.  Him and his sister inherited 3 residences at least. His father was a SK political advisor, and mother worked at Voice of Korea. There is a picture of of his father with a future President of South Korea and Ted Kennedy. He admits that he is a big drinker.  "Alcohol induced psychosis" perhaps?  

 

Likely next of kin are his sister or ex-wife.  His sister made a photo book for his 40th birthday he included in the court filing.  The last thoughts are "What good is life without the people you love and those who love you." and has a picture.  Seems like he experienced so much stress, and the divorce was probably caused by his "issues". Not sure if he had current job either.  I feel so bad peering into this guys life... and especially his sister and ex-wife.

 

Silly, mentally ill charicatures don't submit 162 page lawsuits -- he was plenty smart.  I truly hope he is okay, but more importantly no one was hurt.

I only meant to imply that most people think of "mental illness" as incoherent homeless person.  News this AM is saying that he is "unaccounted for" and this is not a single family house but a duplex . 

 

Social medial posts indicate neighbors were evacuated but from the looks of it lost everything (but we all know that we would trade our possessions for lives everyday).   Seems to have been a family of four.

He posted about the family of four. He believed they were spies sent to execute him on Thursday, Pearl Harbor’s anniversary. I am so, so glad that they weren’t killed. 
 

Also, I’m not sure that most people think of “mental illness” as an incoherent homeless person. But that’s probably for a different thread.

This is where DC needs to step up and not throw more young people into this new generation of crime bandits and set up immunizations yourself to help keep kids in school. 

 

Don't say you tried and failed via policy, actually show you tried and failed via action so it doesn't look like further filtering out the overall student body of kids you jus don't want.

 

Those kids turn into adults and DC is now an anomaly for youth crime in this country, wake up and act like it.

VIDEO: Gingerbread Man tries to walk into stranger's house in Arlington

 

Imagine sitting down for dinner with your family, and you get a Ring notification. You check the camera, but it's not a delivery person or a neighbor, it's a gingerbread man.

 

That is exactly what happened to one Arlington family who lives along N George Mason Drive on Wednesday.

 

"My wife said 'hey listen, there's this guy, he didn't ring the doorbell he's just standing there and he's in this gingerbread man costume' and I'm like gingerbread man -- what?" said the neighbor who asked WUSA9 not to identify him or his family, since the "gingerbread man" is still out there, and they don't know what that person's intentions were.

Annapolis posted 3 ideas for a new sculpture. Then it got ugly.

 

People can be so mean.

 

“There’s an economic disconnect if the city is considering spending half a million dollars on one of these monstrosities while established arts organizations in the city are receiving little to no funding.”

 

“The two with hands almost look like there are almost dead people reaching out — gruesome.”

 

“I love art, including modern art, but these three options are awful.”

 

Annapolis is trying to build a new sculpture at Westgate Circle, a little roundabout that serves as a boundary between downtown, the national cemetery, and part of the city that doesn’t have an easy description — call it outer West Street. The goal is to symbolize unity.

 

Early in December, the Art In Public Places Commission narrowed dozens of submissions to just three and posted them online with a call for feedback. They got what they asked for — just maybe not what they expected.

 

“I am underwhelmed by all three of these options,” wrote Sean O’Neill, husband of Alderwoman Karma O’Neill. “The Coleman proposal looks like people drowning and grasping for a lifeline. The Haddad proposal looks like a condom and although the Team 4A proposal is passable, it reeks of nepotism, as one of the members of this team is the daughter of the former mayor, founder and chair of the AIPPC.”

 

The proposals include one from a longtime Annapolis family, which asked that its name be withheld until a selection is made. They worked with Washington, D.C., muralist and sculptor Jay Coleman on “Exalted Heart,” a design that features three bronze hands surrounding a red heart. The family offered to fund its construction and asked for a small plaque honoring one family member.

Another came from well-known Annapolis muralist Cindy Fletcher Holden and landscape designer Loni Moyer, daughter of former Mayor Ellen Moyer. They submitted “Bloom Where You are Planted” as part of a group named Team 4A. It features eight aluminum hands shaped as ornamental grasses and springing 10 to 30 feet up from a bed of native plantings.

In the third, Atlanta artist Tristan Al-Haddad proposed two interlocking ellipses connected by 150 linear elements, creating a sort of red metal mesh called “Symbiosis.” When viewed from different spots around the circle, the design represents different things: a mother and child, a ship cutting through the sea, or the elliptical orbits of the planets.

“Frankly, all three of these choices are terrible,” wrote Andy Bienstock, program director at public radio station WYPR in Baltimore. “How did we get here? Who made these poor choices?”

Thieves armed with Jaws of Life rob at least 14 ATMs in DC area

 

Thieves have targeted the ATMs of at least 13 7-Eleven convenience stores and a liquor store in the D.C. area since Sunday. Six of those stores were targeted early Wednesday.

 

The thieves are described as organized and sophisticated. They work fast and are believed to be using a stolen police radio to avoid getting caught, according to law enforcement sources.

 

Police said the thieves use firefighters’ tools such as heavy-duty pry bars and a portable hydraulic spreader, known as the Jaws of Life – which is usually used to free people from the wreckage of car crashes. The DC Fire Academy was recently burglarized of similar equipment.

 

The thieves intimidate employees and try to disable security systems, but not always successfully.

I’m kind of impressed if I’m honest. Not the part where they intimidate employees and such but the forethought to steal the machinery needed to open an atm like a can of tuna.

I remember posting this in RTT a couple months ago, it makes too much sense, now its happening more frequently as logic would conclude it would.

 

DC is out of control now...

The Folger Needs a Name for Its Cafe and We Have Solved It

 

Would a cafe by any old name taste as sweet? We think not, and neither does the Folger Shakespeare Library, which is reopening on June 21 after a four-year renovation and is asking the public to suggest a name for the new cafe in its Great Hall.

 

The Folger says it’s “looking for clever wordplay worthy of the building that houses the world’s largest Shakespeare collection.” With the Bard of Avon as a muse, and in a city that’s literate enough to not only sponsor a haiku contest but hold sold-out workshops on writing haiku, we suspect many will rise to the challenge.

 

Our own staff certainly was inspired by the Folger’s contest, and we think we came up with a winner. We also asked ChatGPT to suggest some names, and professor Joubin got into the spirit of it, too.

4. Hamburger Hamlet
3. Tempest in a Teapot
2. Hurly Burly Cafe
1. As You Like It Cafe

Until today, local legend Katie Ledecky had not lost an 800 meter race since she was thirteen (13!) years old. She’s 26 now. In that span she won 8 world championships at that distance and 3 Olympic gold medals. Today, she was bested by 17-year-old Canadian phenom Summer McIntosh, who posted an eye-popping time of 8 minutes, 11.39 seconds, a Canadian record and the fastest in history by a female swimmer not named Ledecky. Notably, it also would have edged out Ledecky for gold at the Tokyo Olympics, where the latter won in 8:12.57.

 

Still, here is what the fastest 800 frees look like. 
 

All-Time Top Performances, Women’s 800 Meter Freestyle:

  1. Katie Ledecky — 8:04.79 (2016)
  2. Katie Ledecky — 8:06.68 (2016)
  3. Katie Ledecky — 8:07.07 (2023)
  4. Katie Ledecky — 8:07.27 (2018)
  5. Katie Ledecky — 8:07.39 (2015)
  6. Katie Ledecky — 8:08.04 (2022)
  7. Katie Ledecky — 8:09.13 (2018)
  8. Katie Ledecky — 8:09.27 (2022)

Activists dump red powder on case holding Constitution

 

he National Archives closed its galleries to the public on Wednesday after two apparent climate activists dumped red powder on the protective encasement surrounding the U.S. Constitution.

 

According to the National Archives and Records Administration, the incident occurred around 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Security immediately detained the individuals, and officials are investigating the incident.

 

"The National Archives Rotunda is the sanctuary for our nation's founding documents," Dr. Colleen Shogan, Archivist of the United States, said in a statement. "They are here for all Americans to view and understand the principles of our nation. We take such vandalism very seriously and we will insist that the perpetrators be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."

 

The activists appeared to be advocating for a "livable climate" for all, noting the principles under which the nation was founded.

I'm very curious. In all the history of people, has anyone every changed their mind on an issue because of acts like that?

 

Like - Oh! someone threw food on the Mona Lisa to protest wasting food. I get it now. Or, I had to sit with my car running for 2 hours will people protesting climate change blocked traffic and made me later for work. Let me join that cause 🙃

 

 

 

(and to be clear, protests and acts that make sense, I'm down with.)
