Woman returns home to discover burglars having sex on her couch

A woman in South Memphis didn’t have to go very far to find the people who broke into her house.
Jamie Barnes says she returned to her home on Davant Street in South Memphis, Tennessee on Sunday to find her house had been broken into – and the two culprits weren’t exactly fleeing the scene.
“[I] walk in and they’re having sex on my couch,” Barned told WREG 3 News in Memphis. “I pick up my broom, I wanted to hit that man so bad.”
Barnes says she returned to her home after being away since Friday, and noticed her front door was open.
When she entered, she discovered her house had been ransacked and several items taken – and that was before she discovered the overly amorous thieves on her couch.
“It’s horrible in there,” Barnes said. “It’s absolutely horrible in there. It’s like they just had a big old nasty party.”
 Barnes told police she pursued the two alleged thieves, with the man shouting “I don’t know nothing!” repeatedly while the woman tried to clothe herself.
“She tried to grab one of my dresses and put it on, and I snatched it from her, what are you trying to do?” said Barnes.
According to a report from the Memphis Police Department, jewelry, appliances, shoes and clothing were all stolen.
Police arrested Tonka Barnes, 44, but were unable to apprehend the male suspect who fled the scene.
She was charged with aggravated burglary and is being held on $30,000 bond. It is not known at this time if she is a familial relation to Jamie Barnes.

That Uplifting Tweet You Just Shared? A Russian Troll Sent It

Here’s what Russia’s 2020 disinformation operations look like, according to two experts on social media and propaganda. By   DARREN LINVILL   &   PATRICK WARREN Internet trolls don’t troll. Not the professionals at least. Professional trolls don’t go on social media to antagonize liberals or belittle conservatives. They are not narrow minded, drunk or angry. They don’t lack basic English language skills. They certainly aren’t  “somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds,”  as the president once put it. Your stereotypical trolls do exist on social media, but the amateurs aren’t a threat to Western democracy. Professional trolls, on the other hand, are the tip of the spear in the new digital, ideological battleground. To combat the threat they pose, we must first understand them — and take them seriously.

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term   (Photo: Photos: Getty Images) Americans will almost certainly go to bed on Nov. 3 without knowing who won the presidential election. Since millions of people will vote by mail, constraints on time and resources will slow ballot counting into potentially a weeks-long process. Voting patterns suggest it’s likely that President  Donald Trump  could end Election Day in the lead in certain key states, only to be overtaken by Democratic opponent  Joe Biden  when more votes are tallied.  This could create a nightmare scenario during the three months stretching from Election Day to the Jan. 20 inauguration: a battle on the state and congressional level over who is the legitimate winner. This could include Congress reconvening on Jan. 6, presided over by Vice President  Mike Pence , with no consensus over its potential role in choosing the next president. This is arguably the most likely of th

Philosophical Question #14 – Lifestyle Choices

Image
Here is an interesting question in my list of philosophical questions: 1.) Should governments have penalties for those who live unhealthy lifestyles? A list of unhealthy lifestyles would include things like smoking, drinking, illegal drugs, prostitution, and other “vice” type activities. I guess the “government penalties” would be referring to monetary punishments, withholding medical treatments (insurance companies would love that), possibly imposing/regulating very high (exorbitant) prices on things considered unhealthy in order to cut down on their use, and other possibilities. 2.) Or, would you say that living an unhealthy lifestyle, likely resulting in a LOT of eventual personal pain and suffering, should be punishment enough for unhealthy lifestyles? When people make bad choices in life, often in their youth where ignorance and immediate gratification takes them over,  3.) Should a society be obligated to help "fix" them, by way of tax money?   Is that part of
