Robbers use feces to distract victims

In a sign that our city is maturing and approaching the level of weirdness of other American cities, we learn from AP that "robbers are squirting people with feces at cash machines to distract them before stealing their money".

Here’s the news:

Constable Tony Vella said Friday that the robbers use squeeze bottles to squirt the victims who are making cash withdrawals. The offenders then help them clean the feces off their clothing, and in the process, they steal their money.

Vella says the robberies have happened four times in downtown Toronto in the last week.

He says groups of at least four suspects are usually involved. One person squirts the victim's clothing with feces, another points out the offending spot, a third person tries to remove it and the fourth person grabs their cash.

Isn’t that incredibly similar and possibly inspired by the Phillies fan who vomited on a 11 year-old and her father?

Clemmens stuck his fingers down his throat and vomited on Michael Vangelo, an off-duty Easton police captain, and one of Mr Vangelo's daughters after Clemmens' companion was ejected from the park.

The New Jersey man and his friend were spilling beer, cursing and heckling Mr Vangelo and his daughters from the time they arrived at their seats, according to a statement of facts read in court.

Mr Vangelo's 15-year-old daughter asked the pair to stop the profanity, and Mr Vangelo complained to security that Clemmens' friend was spitting, with some of it hitting his 11-year-old daughter.

After his friend was ejected, Clemmens was sitting alone behind the Vangelos when he answered his mobile phone and said: "I need to do what I need to do. I'm going to get sick," the prosecutor said.

Clemmens then put his fingers down his throat and threw up on the father, with some vomit splashing onto Mr Vangelo's younger daughter.

He then punched the father several times in the head before other fans in the stands subdued him, the prosecutor said.

Clemmens' mug shot showed him with a swollen black eye, and authorities acknowledged he was hit as he was being subdued. No one else was charged in the case.

In exchange for Clemmens' guilty pleas, charges including reckless endangerment and corruption of minors were dropped.

Whatever the source, that is the kind of attack I least want to be in..
