Alyssa Bustamante reportedly killed the little girl just to see what it felt like
A Missouri judge ruled that 15-year-old Alyssa Bustamante can be tried as an adult in the murder of 9-year-old Elizabeth Olten. According to police, she killed the little girl just because she "wanted to know what it felt like."
Elizabeth was last seen October 21 as she was leaving a friend's home in St. Martins, Missouri around supper time, just down the street from her own home. She promptly vanished. A massive search was launched to look for her body in the rural, wooded area...

| Jose Figueroa has admitted to a 1998 murder. Police think it's because he found God. |
That's when two masked men broke down the front door. They didn't say a word as they marched into the bathroom. One of the men pulled out his gun and shot Martinez through the head, execution-style. Then they simply walked out the front door, leaving behind a new widow, a dead teenager, and yet another fatherless infant...

| Pissed that his wife reported him for beating her with a hammer, Charles Avey confessed to strangling his stepson at Wal-Mart |
"Until you are the abused woman don't judge her. You have no frame of reference. I suspect several of the commentors are right, he probably NEVER hit the child. That is one way abusers can control the victim and make her think her beatings are "her fault" - no one else every gets hurt.
"I suspect the boy was at school when the mother went to the police station and got home without knowing what was going on and this A****** CAME HOME AND PICKED HIM UP (AS IT SAYS IN THE ARTICLE). The son and the mother probably never imagined such a thing could happen."

| Worried that the puppy would jump on his newborn, Lashawn Whitehead severely beat the dog, then set it on fire |
That much is clear by what happened in August. Whitehead was at home when his 3-month-old puppy jumped on the couch where the baby was resting. As his mom Sally Laws tells it, her son promptly lost it. He severely the beat the dog, then set it on fire before leaving it to die in a Greensboro, North Carolina park.
The dog was found by a passerby about two weeks later. It had burns over 60 percent of its body, and its ears were nearly burned off. It also had a broken jaw and teeth...

He's not a very good robber, and he's just run into a very brave -- or very stupid -- clerk. But when all's said and done, the robber is forced to flee the store with nothing. Not even his gun.

| The band Furious Styles thinks it's a good day whenever a cop is killed, hence the T-shirts |
Police believe the senseless murder was the work of criminal justice student Christopher Monfort, who was shot when he pointed a gun at detectives who were trying to interview him at his apartment building.
Obviously, it was a stupid and senseless murder. As Seattle Weekly notes, "The city saw the murder of a cop as a good time to remember that peace officers have a very dangerous job and we should be thankful for the work they do." But hardcore metal band Furious Styles saw it as a way to get publicity selling T-shirts that celebrate the officer's slaying...

| Jamar Jr. was forced to strip naked at gunpoint, then marched to a vacant lot and executed |
He arrived at Lazette's Highland Park, Michigan home and forced 15-year-old Jamar Jr. to strip naked. Then he marched the boy to a vacant lot and forced him to kneel. Mom and Jr. pleaded for him not to shoot. "He got on his knees and begged, `No, Daddy, No,' and he pulled the trigger," Lazette says. Jamar Jr. was dead, shot in the head.
Lazette apparently didn't know her ex would react so violently when she called to let him know about the apparent molestation. Though there's no details on what Jamar Jr. was accused of doing, Lazette seems to imply that it was improper touching, not rape. But she felt a duty to let dad know. "This isn't something you sweep under the rug," she says...

UPDATE: Officer Dustin Bradshaw has been suspended for seven days, but not for the reason you'd think. See update after the jump...
"Drop the bunny ears, girlie, or you'll be flopping on the ground like a mackerel."
Earlier this week, we told you about the 73-year-old grandma who was caught on tape being tasered twice during a traffic stop. Now it seems an Arkansas officer has tasered a 10-year-old girl. Our question: Where the hell are they getting these cops?
Police in Ozark, Arkansas say officer Dustin Bradshaw was called to a home by a mother who couldn't get her 10-year-old daughter to shower before going to bed. He found the girl on the floor screaming and crying. Why police were called to diffuse a little girl's fit, we don't know. But something tells us we're not dealing with All-American Mom here.
What we do know is that the girl refused to follow her mom's orders, which little girls tend to do when throwing fits. So mom told Bradshaw to taser her ass...

An inquiry determined that she never attended classes that day, and she has never been seen or heard from again...
