Police: Man shoots self in groin during robbery

Incident occurs as man was robbing a convenience store, police say

KOKOMO, Ind. - Oh, shoot! A man accidentally shot himself in the groin as he was robbing a convenience store Tuesday, police said.
A clerk told police a man carrying a semiautomatic handgun entered the Village Pantry demanding cash and a pack of cigarettes. The clerk put the cash in a bag and as she turned to get the cigarettes, she heard the gun discharge. FULL STORY: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22681900/

To both questions: Yes.
He seems to be in it for the PR.
And he is faulting ESB for everything. From not stopping him from getting to position to stopping him from jumping.
Seems to want to have it everyway possible.

Rapist Who Preyed on Men Gets 99 Years
Date: Thursday, January 17, 2008
By: Associated Press

HOUSTON - (AP) A man convicted this week of sexually assaulting a 17-year-old boy at gunpoint was sentenced to 99 years in prison Thursday after he apologized for that attack and the rapes of four other young men.

In a written statement read in court, Keith Hill also said he decided to assault men rather than women because "it would be less hard on them."

Hill, 20, was convicted Tuesday of assaulting one of five young men he had confessed to raping during an eight-month spree in 2006 in Baytown.

Earlier, the defense had disputed his confession to police, but in the trial's punishment phase Hill said he deeply regrets the attacks and hopes his victims "find it in their heart to forgive me."

"It would not happen if I did not have mental issues," Hill said. He added that he had prayed to both God and the devil for instruction.
