Given the opportunity to do something incredibly stupid, inevitably almost every person you've ever known will jump at the chance...
A New Orleans woman is facing murder-for-hire charges after she inadvertently tried to book a hitman to take out a love rival on a website that is linked to the FBI.
Zandra Ellis, 33, was taken into custody by the feds this week in the parking lot of a Waffle House in Louisiana after discussing the hit with an undercover agent, according to the criminal complaint in the case. Ellis made contact with Rent-A-Hitman.com on June 30 using a fake name, Jasmine D. Brown.
In her inquiry, Ellis said that she wanted a woman identified only as B.H. dead. Ellis said: 'I would like her dead since she is trying to kill me.'
The operator of the website, Robert Innes, said that he contacted Ellis 24 hours later to see if she wanted to go through with the hit. Ellis responded within a minute to say she did.
Innes reported Ellis to the FBI National Threat Operations Center on July 3. Two days later an undercover agent going by the moniker Ace contacted Ellis.
Evidently, there was a brief haggle between Ellis and Ace via text messages over the price for the hit. Eventually, they settle on a $1,000 fee with Ellis coughing up $100 up front. From there, Ellis said that she would pay the hitman $250 in installments until the debt was paid off.
When the pair met up, they met in a Waffle House. That should tell you everything you need to know about her, if nothing else.

In 1989, a pilotless MiG-23 fighter jet of the Soviet Air Force crashed into a house in Kortrijk, Belgium.
The pilot had ejected over an hour earlier near Kołobrzeg,Poland, after experiencing technical problems, but the aircraft continued flying for around 900km before running out of fuel & crashing.
The incident started as a routine training flight. Colonel Nikolai Skuridin, the pilot, was to fly a MiG-23M from the Bagicz Airbase near Kołobrzeg, Poland. During takeoff, the engine's afterburner failed, causing a partial loss of power. At an altitude of 150 m (500 ft) and descending, the pilot elected to abandon the aircraft and ejected safely. However, the engine kept running and the aircraft remained airborne, flying on autopilot in a westerly direction.
The unmanned aircraft left Polish airspace, crossing into East Germany and then West Germany, where it was intercepted by a pair of F-15s from the 32d Tactical Fighter Squadron of the United States Air Forces Europe, stationed at Soesterberg Air Base in the Netherlands. The F-15 pilots reported that the MiG had no crew. The MiG-23 crossed into Dutch airspace and continued into Belgium. The escorting F-15s were instructed to shoot down the plane over the North Sea, but as the MiG ran out of fuel, it started a slow turn to the south, prompting the French Air Force to put its fighters on alert. After flying over 900 km (560 mi), the MiG eventually crashed into a house near Kortrijk, less than 10 km (6 mi) from the French border, killing an 18-year-old resident.
“I am sorry about what happened. The Belgians have been made aware of the reasons and we expressed our regret,” Mikhail Gorbachev, the leader of the USSR, said the same day. In a worst-case scenario, such a catastrophe may have turned into a full-scale international crisis, but, as Soviet-Western relations were at their peak amidst Gorbachev’s push for democratization and the Cold War winding down, it all went down relatively smoothly. The USSR paid Belgium compensation in the amount of $685,000, and soon the unfortunate accident was forgotten. After all, the stray MiG-23 killed just one person – it could have been far worse. Though Wim Delaere probably would have disagreed.

You put your 12 year old kid on a plane by herself
and it's the Airline that fucked up?
American Airlines (AA) is coming under fire after allegedly
losing a child in their care.
Monica Gilliam, a mother from Chattanooga, Tenn., claimed the airline lost track of her 12-year-old daughter who was flying as an unaccompanied minor to Miami last Saturday to visit her father, detailing the incident in a video on TikTok that has since accumulated 1.8 million views.
"Almost an hour after her flight landed, I got a call from American Airlines," she recounted in the clip. "It was the [AA] manager at Miami ... He says, 'Your child is missing. We've shut down the terminal. We don't know where she is.'
"It turns out that the flight attendants waved her off the plane and said 'bye.' And she said she didn't know what to do, so she kept going because they were telling her bye. So, she kept walking," Gilliam added.
Gilliam explained that her daughter, fortunately, found her dad without any help from the AA crew or Miami International Airport employees.

ReplyDeleteOver here kids fly unaccompanied (think divorced parents) all the time, it's an actual service airlines offer, they need to be checked in and collect by an adult. Between those times the airline staff must supervise them. I've flown on my own as a kid.
