ROSEVILLE, California’s Westfield Galleria for some odd reason decided that barring people from talking to strangers while in the mall, would provide a more pleasant shopping experience.

The mall prohibited people in its common areas from approaching and talking to people they didn’t know unless the conversation was about business involving the mall or its tenants.  Westfield reasoning was to protect tenants and customers by ensuring a safe and secure environment, preventing unruly gatherings and congestion and promoting convenience.  If a patron wanted to talk to a stranger about anything non mall business related they would have to submit a request five days in advance for mall officials to review.

Lets put this policy to the test:

A patron would have to submit a request five days in advance in order to spontaneously talk about Lebron going to the Miami Heat,  ask for directions to the Macy’s store, ask or talk about the weather,  or ask a hot person out on a date.  This mall seems to have a lame and unpleasant environment.  Who would want to go there.

Fortunately, a California judge struck the policy down as unconstitutional.

An autopsy is scheduled for Today, after the suicide death of Philip Markoff, the former medical student who was facing murder and armed robbery charges tied to the Craigslist website.

Markoff was found alone and unresponsive in his Boston  jail cell Sunday morning.  Its being reported that he carved himself up pretty good with a razor blade used for shaving.  The “Craiglist Killer” apparently slashed both wrist and severed the femoral artery in his leg then tied trashbags around his leg and head.

The cause of death is under investigation, Boston Police Commissioner Edward Davis and Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel F. Conley said in a statement.

“Markoff was alone in his cell and all evidence collected thus far indicates that he took his own life,” the statement said. “Nonetheless, as with all such cases, a comprehensive investigation will be conducted to determine the facts and circumstances surrounding his death.”

However; controversy about the death of the “Craiglist Killer” is emerging.  Particularly in question, is how typical is the use of a trash bag tied over the head in suicide attempts.  Second What really was the act that caused death?  Was it the plastic bag, the slashed wrist, or the severed artery?  There are reports out there about Markoff receiving threats from other inmates for beating them at chess and taking their canteens.  Did this ultimately drive him to kill himself or was his death at the hands of someone else.  Police officials are confident Markoff killed himself but expect the autopsy to provide more conclusive answers to these questions.

Markoff, 24, was charged in the April 14, 2009, fatal shooting and attempted robbery of Julissa Brisman, 25, at Boston’s Copley Marriott Hotel.  Brisman advertised her “sexual release” masseuse services on Craigslist and  police believe that is how Markoff may have met her.

The family of Brisman  released a statement describing their shock and dissappointment about Markoff’s death.  They were looking forward to confronting him in court.

Bernard Howell(left) is accused of killing Vonda Boone(right)

Help, the world is getting sicker and sicker, especially in Yelm, Washington!  26-year-old Bernard Howell showed no emotion or remorse when police pulled him over and found a dead woman stuffed in a sleeping bag.  The sleeping bag laid in plain view in the passenger seat of a pickup truck Howell was driving.

An officer had pulled Howell over after speaking with a tipster who was explaining that a man had asked him to help move a dead body. Bernard drove by the police officer as he was talking to the tipster.  The cop soon pulled him over.

Police say that Howell’s excuse for being in procession of a dead body was to spear the family the funeral expenses. This bizarre story doesn’t end here. While being arraigned in court  for second degree murder, Howell denied killing the woman but had a shocking announcement. He admits to having repeated sexual intercourse with the corpse.

The victim is 60-year-old-Vanda Boone, a New Yorker who recently moved to Yelm and was a member of a Yelm based cult called Ramtha’s School of Enlightenment, led by JZ knight. It appears that she had been stabbed to death.

Bernard Howell is definitely a bizarre hot mess for being a 26-year-old man having sex with a 60-year-old dead woman. The worse thing is he probably killed her.  Asylum Please. Is there a cure for this insanity?

The above mugshot is of pervert Jeffery Westerman, a 33 year-old police officer in Provo Utah, who was fired after being accused of sexually abusing a woman on July 23 at the scene of a motor vehicle accident in which she was involved.

According to police records, when po-po-ho arrived at the scene, he sent away the other motorist and then conducted a field sobriety test on the woman.  She was failing so Westerman tried to handcuff her but, she had a splint on her arm which prevented this.  He also yelled and cursed at her while searching her vehicle.

Westerman then gave the woman the option to avoid being arrested for a felony if she showed him her knockers, which she obliged, because she was afraid of him and also afraid to go to jail.   When she showed him her breast he proceed to fondle them and speak dirty to her.   When she covered her breast, Westerman the Molesterman told her to do it again because he will have to explain to his boss why he let her go.  He then drove away happy after having a good time at the expense of the woman he just violated.

Police said surveillance footage of the scene was consistent with the victim’s report.  Fortunately this creep who has violated the trust of the public was removed from the streets.

Here is a photo that shows Caroline Giuliani moments after she was busted for shoplifting $100 worth of cosmetics at Sephora in NYC. She was locked in handcuffs and walked to a waiting squad car yesterday.  As reported earlier she was issued a ticket and released.

Why is Rudy Giuliani’s 20-year-old daughter stealing.  It looks like the brutal recession is extending its tentacles far and wide.  Even into the rich right wing can get hood in hard times.

TMZ is reporting:

Law enforcement sources tell us that the former mayor’s 20-year old daughter is getting a desk appearance ticket for “petit larceny.”

Caroline was arrested earlier today at a Manhattan Sephora after she was seen allegedly putting 5 cosmetic items worth more than $100 in her pocket.  We’re told store security called cops after seeing her on security cameras.
