Take a good look at this asshole (click on the image for a better look). His name is Jesse Norman Imeson, he’s wanted for the murder of Carlos Rivera in Windsor and, if the cops are right, he’s hiding someplace up in my old stompin’ grounds of Huron County. The search started out in Grand Bend after cops found Rivera’s car abandoned there. Rivera was last seen sometime around six in the morning last Wednesday and cops have pretty much been looking for Imeson ever since…

Investigators tracing Rivera’s movements went to the Tap, a gay strip club in Windsor where he tended bar. Rivera didn’t show up for his Wednesday night shift, which wasn’t like him, friends said.

Rivera was last seen in his silver two-door Honda Civic, which was being driven by Imeson, police said.

Police went to Imeson’s Erie Street apartment in Windsor Thursday night and found Rivera’s “decomposing” body, said Windsor police Staff Sgt. William Donnelly.

Police then found Rivera’s car in Grand Bend early Friday.

There, investigators obtained video of Imeson and another man at Gables, a Main Street bar.

The surveillance images were taken sometime between Wednesday and Friday, police said.

Police fear the man in the video with Imeson might be in danger, and searched the town for clues to their whereabouts.

“We’ve been doing door-to-door searches, going to businesses and asking them if they recognize anyone,” Lambton OPP Const. Todd Monaghan said yesterday.

“We’re hoping the public knows something, or perhaps Mr. Imeson can put an end to this and come speak to us.”

The man with Imeson has collar-length hair and was wearing a dark ball cap and white shirt, police said.

Imeson is six-foot-one, 200 pounds with short, almost shaved brown hair, brown eyes and numerous tattoos on his arms.

Windsor police said Imeson is known to police.

The problem with trying to stash your ass up in Huron County is that it’s only a matter of time before somebody notices that… “you ain’t from around here, are ya?” Trust me on this one. I grew up there; I know. So keep your eyes peeled for this prick, ladies and gents. And if you see him, don’t go trying to be a smartass. Leave ol’ Betsy in the closet, right where she is, and call the OPP (1-888-310-1122 or *OPP on your cellphone).

— UPDATE —

Commentor tw has pointed out that this son of a bitch is now the prime suspect in a double murder near Dashwood. The Freeps’ website has some on it:

Jesse Norman Imeson, 22, was described by both Windsor Police Service and Huron County OPP as “a person of interest” in the murder of two elderly county residents, believed to be a married couple.

“Imeson . . . should be considered armed and very dangerous,” Windsor police said in a press release in which they said “two elderly residents from Huron County were found murdered in their residence.”

The victims’ pickup truck, a 2006 GMC Sierra, silver-grey in colour, was stolen sometime after 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, police said.

The vehicle’s licence number is JK8 344, police said, asking the public to report any sightings of it.

Forget what I said before. Break out ol’ Betsy, load her up and shoot this bastard on sight, before he kills you or someone you care about.

Well now, doesn’t this just suck?  Years ago, I decided that I’d move to London rather than TO for a number of reasons, not the least of which was the lower crime rate. Now, you may think that I was just being a naive, small-town rube (and maybe I was) but I liked the idea of living in a place where your chances were relatively low of getting shot, stabbed, robbed, or just having some punks break into your house and steal your booze.

Well, it looks like all that happy horseshit is up and gone like a FIberal election promise after the buggers get a majority…

Crime in the London area increased more than anywhere else in Canada last year, just as the national crime rate dropped to record lows, new numbers show.

Statistics Canada reported yesterday the nation’s crime rate dipped by three per cent in 2006, mainly due to fewer non-violent offences such as break-ins and minor thefts.

But in the census area that includes London, St. Thomas, Strathroy and Middlesex County, the overall crime rate jumped by nine per cent — the highest climb in the country.

I swear to God, Alberta keeps looking better and better as time goes on…

No matter how you slice it, this is more good than bad. Yes, Avi Lewis is downright embarrassing in his blatant idiocy in comparing “fundamentalist Christianity” and the USA with countries that have the boot of Sharia law on their necks but hey, I got used to being embarrassed by the Ministry Of What You Should Think a looooong time ago…

Ayaan Hirsi Ali is, in all probability, more qualified to speak on the topic of Islam and Islamofascism than any other woman in the Western world. It’s absolutely wonderful watching her occasionally rolling her eyes while Lewis gets more and more flustered as she methodically picks his idiocy to its bones with a calm and grace that is all too often lacking in public discourse on this subject (and yes, I know I’m guilty of going off half-cocked myself, every couple of minutes now and then).

I think the best probably has to be her blunt statement, “there is no Islamophobia, it’s a myth.” Check out the vid for yourself (you can download it here, if you have trouble viewing it in your browser)… (more…)

Okay, I know that London’s getting to be more and more like the ArseholeOf The Universeâ„¢ as the days and months go on but this is just a little too creepy, even by my admittedly somewhat cynical standards.

It seems like the whole damned tactical squad got called out about 11 o’clock last night and weren’t in the mood to take any shit.  I haven’t been able to get any real details on just what the hell happened yet, but judging by what the Freeps had to say this morning, those boys were definitely in full move-your-ass-we’re-not-screwing-around-here mode.

If anybody has any details, I’d be interested…

A flurry of police, including heavily armed tactical officers, swooped down on a London highrise late last night, catching some residents by surprise.

Residents said police arrived just before 11 p.m. and sealed off the 14th floor of one of the twin CityPlace towers, at 405 Waterloo St., near Dundas, and ordered no one be allowed up to that floor.

One resident said police were seen racing to the nearby Holiday Inn Express, and from there were visible in a stairwell window staring over at the highrise.

It wasn’t immediately clear what had triggered the heavy police response, and no one was available to comment.

A woman staying at the Holiday Inn said she went up the stairwell to see what was happening and came across two officers on the 10th-floor landing, wearing what she described as “big goggles.”

“I walked in and said, ‘Is everything OK? And they said, ‘Go downstairs,’ ” said hotel guest Ashley Morrison.

An officer was seen out on one of the 14th-floor balconies at the apartment building.

… And God damned good that it did, too. Sorry for not posting this sooner, but I’ve had me one hell of a busy day on Monday. For whoever hasn’t heard yet, the jury in Medicine Hat took less than four hours of deliberation to come to the same conclusion that everyone else with a brain in their head had already come to long ago:

Jasmine Richardson is guilty as sin.

MEDICINE HAT, Alta. (CP) – After deliberating for less than four hours, a Court of Queen’s Bench jury returned Monday with a decisive verdict for a 13-year-old girl accused in the grisly killings of her parents and little brother: guilty of first-degree murder on all three counts.

The accused began weeping silently and then put her hand over her mouth as the foreman of the seven-man, five-woman jury read out the verdicts. Her lawyer, Tim Foster, stared at the ground and appeared to be struggling even to look at his client, but then later moved to the prisoner’s box to put a comforting arm around her.

Minutes later, the jurors filed out of the courtroom one by one, a few stealing glances at the girl as they passed by her but most just looking away.

Looking away in disgust, no doubt. Can you blame them? This little bitch (and no, I don’t care how old she is; that’s still going easy on her in the language department after what she did) would be damn near enough to make me puke, too. The problem now is that she’s still not going to be properly punished for what she did. Commentor Ann pointed this out the other day:

[…] And I agree with your opinion on the YJA. What a joke. Though the verdict is now in, I doubt this little whore will do more than 3.5 years in custody (don’t forget she’ll be credited with 1.5 years of time served).

Actually, Ann, it’s even worse than that. According to reports, the court has scheduled the sentencing for Aug. 23, which means that Jasmine will have spent about 16 months of “dead time” (how’s that for ironic slang?) since her arrest in late April, 2006. This means that, under the bullshit 2-for-1 system that judges in this country use to credit time awaiting trial, she’ll be getting 32 months of credit for time served. In other words, she’ll be out and on the streets again no later than December, 2010. Just in time for Christmas, no doubt. And even that‘s assuming that her lawyer doesn’t pull some stunt to delay sentencing in order to rack up more 2-for-1 credit (not an unheard-of tactic).

Her family, however — her mother, father and eight-year old brother — will still be dead. But that won’t stop the pro-YCJA shitheads; hell, no! It won’t even slow ’em down. There’s already rumblings and bumping in the night going on in the dark corners of the Charter-heads…

But more in that later. For now, I’m gathering up some of the sleaze that the jury didn’t get to look at. Believe me folks, it makes you wonder how much faster they would have convicted her…
