It really shouldn't still surprise me how many truly stupid people out
there, but people get busted everyday for videoing themselves committing a
crime and then posting the clip on My Space. Then there are the stupid kids
who've been warned about child molesters on My Space and get involved with
some pervert pretending to be a 16 year old boy and agreeing to meet him
somewhere.

I read a couple of blogs, too, the ones that I read daily are all about
true crimes. I read a couple of political ones, too, just not as often. Do
you read John Hull's blog?
