A convicted felon recently tried to sue a potential employer for refusing to hire her based on her criminal past, but she wasn’t successful — and for good reason. While trying to argue that convicts should be allowed to “explain themselves” to potential employers who see their criminal records, the foolish woman revealed the very reason why this isn’t a good idea: She got caught lying. Nonetheless, her story is making media headlines and creating the debate surrounding the working rights of convicts, but there really shouldn’t be a debate at all. Employers and business owners should certainly have the right to protect their customers, their other employees and their money from people who have committed violent crimes and theft. Bloomberg Law reports that Ria Schumacher attempted to sue a company that rescinded its employment offer upon running a background check on her — a background check which revealed that she was a convicted murderer who ha...

Police in Texas are looking for a man who allegedly assaulted another while they were dining separately at a taco restaurant in Brownsville. The incident reportedly took place after one customer complained about a crying child while he was trying to eat. Instead of quieting the youngster, the man being sought by police chose to react violently. According to Yahoo News , a man who was dining at Tacos de Marcelos became frustrated because a baby was crying and it seemed that nothing was being done to lessen the noise. The man allegedly told the child to be quiet, which angered its parents. The father of the fussy kid reportedly approached the table where the complaining customer was eating his food. According to Brownsville police, the man assaulted the other diner, punching him repeatedly. Reports say the Texas man left the eatery before police could arrive on the scene. Even as of Friday, his identity is still unknown. Police in Brownsville are seeking the man, so that he can be charg...

Casey Anthony is in the news again, because she obviously can’t stay out of the spotlight for longer than a couple of months. Even though countless people believe the Florida woman got away with the 2008 murder of her own child, she’s a free woman and she’s supposedly ready to “tell her truth.” But how can you trust anything that comes out of the mouth of a woman who is a convicted liar? When Casey Anthony was acquitted of killing her daughter Caylee Marie Anthony, she didn’t escape justice unscathed. She was ultimately convicted of four counts of providing false information to law enforcement. These charges stemmed from the overall investigation into the disappearance and death of her daughter. Over the course of the search and investigation, Casey reportedly lied to detectives multiple times. How many things did “Tot Mom” lie about? Here’s a short list: The Nanny: Casey made up a fake nanny story, telling detectives that a woman na...

A woman is missing from the Sacramento area, and her loved ones are worried she might have fallen victim to foul play after using a popular dating app. Leslie Ben-Iesau has been missing now for several days and the public is being asked for any information that could lead to her whereabouts. According to Fox 40 News , Leslie Ben-Iesau hasn’t been seen or heard from since around April 15th . She was last seen shortly after leaving her home on her way to meet someone that she’d been talking to on a dating app. That specific app was OkCupid, and according to family members the missing woman had been talking to someone named “Bea.” To make matters worse, phone records indicate that the missing woman hasn’t used her cellphone since the day she was last seen. Loved ones of Leslie Ben-Iesau say she also struggles with mental health problems.

A pet duck has proven to be a more effective police officer than the actual cops in the town of Chandler, North Carolina, after it located the body of a woman who had missing since 2020. Nellie Sullivan disappeared approximately two years ago, but it looks like authorities didn’t do a thorough search of her property — because that’s exactly where she was found. According to Penn Live , residents of a trailer park in Chandler were chasing their pet duck who had gotten loose. During the chase, the duck reportedly ran under a trailer — a trailer that belonged to the missing woman, who vanished in 2020. When the owners of the runaway pet attempted to retrieve it from beneath the mobile home, they discovered the remains of the woman. While this story is attracting attention due to the somewhat comical fact that duck led to the discovery, this story illustrates an embarrassing and shameful fact. Police in Chandler, North Carolina clearly did not do a thorough search o...

The search for a missing Oklahoma woman is over on a tragic note, with the discovery of human remains in a shallow grave in Tulsa. Authorities have confirmed that the remains have been positively identified as Tyra Whitaker, who vanished in January of this year. Now detectives intend on charging the man who last saw her with murder. Did a serial killer murder Tyra Whitaker? The missing Oklahoma woman was last seen in January with a man named Terryl Brooks, who has been charged in association with the murders of at least two other women. According to News 6 Tulsa , Brooks is already in jail on these murder charges — and the discovery of Whitaker’s body will likely add to the accused killer’s body count. The loved ones of Tyra Whitaker at least have the closure of knowing what happened to the missing woman, but full closure won’t be had until justice is served. If you know anything about the murder of this Oklahoma woman, or the man accused of killing her you are e...

A Reddit post about a bride not wanting her drug addict brother-in-law at her wedding is going viral — and hundreds of people are blasting her for a variety of reasons. While there are plenty of good points being expressed about how the woman is behaving toward her future husband and his family, many seem to be pushing the idea that the bride’s a bad person for choosing not to associate with drug addicts. It totally seems like the post in general was some kind of ragebait — and droves of people are biting down on the hook. However, it also seems like it’s a good time to state the obvious: You are not required to allow anyone in your personal space that makes you feel uncomfortable — and yes , that includes people who are addicted to drugs. You are not a bad person for cutting toxic people and their toxic habits out of your life, regardless of who that person is. Drug addiction doesn’t just harm the drug user Drug addicts may live as if they’re...
