Scanner Reports 3-14-18

By Roger the Scanner Guy

Crazy story on the internet where some dude involved in a Police standoff in my home state after committing murder slipped through the perimeter and went shopping at Walmart. He returned only to be shot dead by police, I guess he just wanted to go shopping at Walmart one last time. After reading that I thought of all the crazy infamous criminals from my Home State. There are quite a few, many of them serial or mass murderers. Rev Jim Jones who poisoned the grape Kool-Aid and gave it to his followers many years ago, people have been cracking jokes about “Drinking the kool-aid” ever since. John Dillinger was another infamous criminal and killer from my home state. Belle Gunness was a female serial killer who had a farm in La Porte, Indiana advertised for husbands and killed them among others. There are many, many others a lot of serial killers I did not know about many of them as I left Indiana in 1980 and most were caught later on.

For all the crazy and infamous criminals, there are many well known famous folks who are from Indiana too, including our vice president, and one of my favorites like Dan Quayle the Potatoe man who I met many years ago. The Jackson Family of Gary, Indiana and Ernie Pyle the well-known photographer from WW2, there are others. I bet we all have famous as well as Infamous people where we come from all you gotta do is Google. Still I think some of the crazier people come from Indiana. After reading the story about the guy involved in a Stand Off going to Walmart I thought about where I would go if I slipped through a Police Stand-Off. For one if I was involved in a Police Stand-Off it would not be because I was wanted for murder because I would not commit murder unless it was self-defense. Been there Done that. I’m no psycho killer although I am a little nuts. If I was in a police standoff it would be because someone, (no names mentioned) in my family called the police and either SWATTED me or told them something that isn’t true. If I was able to slip through a Police Stand-Off I would go to the local Waffle House and eat everything on the menu then go home and turn myself in. I don’t know if I’d get any time because there would be no reason for me to be in a police standoff in the first place but they might charge me with 148 (Obstruction of justice) just for making them look foolish after sneaking through a perimeter to go to a Waffle house. Very small chance of it ever happening here because there is no waffle house. Anything we have here does not ever come close to a REAL WAFFLE HOUSE. Many years ago I was almost in a standoff here. Thank God my old friend and neighbor Laura Betz saved my rump or I might be toasting Ramen Waffles in the Joint today…Anyway Here is your Scanner Reports.
