Chief of police pickpocketed
In an ironic twist the Chief of Police of Oslo, Norway, Anstein Gjengedal, had his wallet pickpocketed a few days before he was set to announce a crackdown on pickpocketers.
The chief was on the Oslo Airport train when a group of people bumped into him. Checking his pockets a few minutes later the police chief realized that his wallet was gone.
Looks like that crackdown is timely!
Convicted murder wanted to go to peaceful Death Row
Isn’t it odd and perhaps ironic how convicted murderer Paul John Fitzpatrick said about Death row last March when he was before a judge in Largo, Florida.
He said Death row “is the calmest place I’ve ever been inâ€.
He was hoping to avoid a mere life sentence, which would place him in the general prison population. “I probably found the most peace I’ve ever had in my whole life (in his previous experience) on death row,†he said. “It’s just a lot easier doing time with murderers than it is with fools.â€
The ironic part? The judge gave him life.
