A Brief History
Every era and every year has a certain number of people who stand out for being incredibly stupid, evil, rotten, and all around blights on society. For the first half of 2016 we nominate 12 creeps (in no particular order) that have brought shame on all mankind by their existence.
Digging Deeper
12. Anthony Getschel and Jordan Wagner, Road Rage murderers.
These 2 creeps were following Canadian mixed martial arts light heavy weight fighter Ryan Jimmo who had just proposed to his girlfriend and seen a movie. Not knowing what the problem with the other vehicle was, Jimmo pulled into a parking lot and was followed by the scumbags. Jimmo, despite being an undeniably tough guy, did not confront the other men, just asking what the problem was and then turning to walk back to his car, leaving the incident at that. Getschel had other ideas, and purposely ran down Jimmo, running over and killing the easy going fighter in front of his new fiancé. Getschel was charged with murder and Wagner with accessory to murder after the fact. (Even Canada has scumbags!)
11. Kevin J. Loibl, Loser and murder.
This 27 year old freak was enamored of the beautiful young (22) female singing sensation (Internet and The Voice) Christina Grimmie. Loibl tried to make himself better looking through plastic surgery and weight loss, as well as hair enhancement. Loibl went by taxi to a Grimmie concert and autograph signing session in Orlando, Florida, bringing 2 pistols and a hunting knife. Loibl gunned down the girl before being tackled by Grimmie’s brother, and then shot himself when he got free of the male Grimmie. Loibl’s family professed no knowledge of him having obtained the guns or planning the attack.
10. Jon Jones, MMA fighter.
One of the greatest mixed martial arts fighters of all time and currently the baddest man on the planet, this train wreck of a human being has tested positive for cocaine, been involved in a felony hit skip accident, drunk driving and in July of 2016 again tested positive for 2 controlled substances ruining his chance to fight to regain his title which he had been stripped of in 2015. This jerk is also known for poking opponents in the eyes. We are waiting to hear how long his suspension will be for the 2016 doping incident. At least he did not kill anybody…
Joining Jon in the special Pro-Athlete Section are Draymond Greene of the Golden State Warriors and Isaiah Crowell of the Cleveland Browns. After demonstrating extremely poor sportsmanship during the NBA playoffs when Green on 2 separate occasions kicked on opposing player in the genitals, Green got a 1 game suspension in the finals for smacking Lebron James between the legs with his hand, proving his versatility.
Then, Green got himself arrested and charged with assaulting a Michigan State football player in a bar, proving he can be a jerk off the court as well. Crowell made the disgusting move of posting an Instagram image of a police officer getting his throat cut execution style. Crowell removed the image, but too late for it had already gone viral. The idiot football player was ordered to apologize by the Browns and to donate his next paycheck to the families of slain police officers. If this creep is not cut or at least suspended for a few games, the Browns have lost me as a fan, period.
9. Larossi Abdallah, Terrorist.
This guy stabbed a French policeman and his wife to death as an Islamic extremist/ISIS related act of terror, and the worst part is that he had been jailed in 2013 for planning terrorist attacks in France and only served 2 1/2 years! Abdallah put a video of himself on the internet from the victims’ living room in which he railed about his warped religious views and threatened Europe with more attacks to come. Born in France of Moroccan parents, Abdallah had been involved in other crimes as well.
Note: Between #9 and #8 maybe we need to pass some knife control laws…
8. Mohamed Barry, Machete Wielding Terrorist.
This misguided goof hails from Republic of Guinea (West Africa) and attacked a Jewish owned restaurant with a machete in an expression of his warped sense of Islamic extremism. The 30 year old immigrant had come to the US in 2000, and fled the restaurant after wounding 4 people. He was later killed by police, but seriously, why do people that hate the US even come here? The FBI had investigated Barry 4 years ago because of his radical views, but as has too often been the case, dismissed him as not dangerous enough for action.
7. Tarek Belgacem, Terrorist.
Why oh why does Europe allow foreigners with evil intent to remain in Europe instead of being jailed or deported? This Tunisian terrorist wannabe pretended to be a Syrian refugee and was under surveillance by the German authorities, but as in the above cases, was not stopped or kicked out of the country. Of course, Belgacem’s mother (idiot?) proclaimed that her son was not an extremist and was shot to death by police in error, the poor lady ignoring the fact that Belgacem was wearing a fake exploding vest and carrying a paper swearing allegiance to ISIS at the time of his death. No wonder why Americans are skeptical about accepting “refugees” from Syria and Iraq!
6. Bruce Kelly Sr. and Jr., Father and Son Criminals.
This dynamic duo of low life-dom were drinking in a public place (busway gazebo) when approached by 2 Wilikinsburg, PA police officers who intended to cite the men for open container. The 2 creeps (ages 60 and 37) fought with the cops (one of which was female) in a drawn out fight that included running away and coming back for more until Jr. was shot to death by the police after he fatally stabbed a police canine and was unable to be stopped by a police TASER. Dad was pepper sprayed a couple of times before being subdued. Nice parental example and way to get your kid killed, Daddy-O! Not surprisingly, both Kelly’s had extensive criminal histories. Incredibly, people have questioned the necessity for the shooting.
5. Alton Sterling, career criminal.
This 37 year old convicted registered sex offender (victim was a 14 year old Black girl) led a life of crime and had previously had an incident where he was armed and resisted arrest. Burglary and drugs are also on his resume, as is domestic violence. Far from the model citizen and family man teary eyed protesters described him as, Sterling had 5 kids by different women and this “respected man of the community” was living in a shelter. After threatening a homeless man with a gun Sterling was prohibited by law from possessing, police were called to investigate. On arrival of police, Sterling refused to cooperate and was TASER’ed without effect (wary police were operating as if the 310 pound man was armed), and then fought with police who had tried to take him down by tackling him.. While wrestling on the ground with police on top of him, Sterling apparently reached for the pistol in his pants pocket and was shot by the cops, killing Sterling on the spot. In spite of the facts as stated here, Sterling was treated by the media and idiot politicians as if he were some hapless victim of racist cops that was murdered for no reason, helping to kick off a nationwide backlash against police that has resulted in many police being shot and killed.

4. Omar Mateen, domestic terrorist.
This 29 year old son of Afghan immigrants was born in New York, and had a reputation as a rude, offensive bully while attending school, including an expulsion for fighting. Omar shared a low opinion of females with his father, and was known to have cheered the 9/11 terror attacks against the US. Omar earned a 5 day suspension for his 9/11 antics and school officials reported his father would not back up officials in counseling the boy. (Hey Dad, you are the jerk that came here, leave if you don’t like it!) The misfit’s troubles continued throughout the rest of his high school days, for which he was suspended at total of 48 days. Omar became a security guard (armed) in 2007, and had a reputation as possibly being gay or bisexual, although he was also a gay-basher. In 2014 US authorities investigated possible terrorist links to Mateen, but failed to find anything significant. On June 12, 2016, Omar took a SigSauer rifle and a Glock pistol he had legally purchased to an Orlando gay night club and started shooting people, eventually killing 49 innocent people and wounding another 53 before being killed by police. During the incident Mateen pledged allegiance to ISIS.
3. Pablo Antonio Serrano Vitorino, murderer and illegal immigrant.
This 40 year old illegal immigrant to the United States from Mexico is perhaps the poster child for the anti-illegal immigrant movement that is supporting the Donald Trump candidacy for President. Vitorino had already had priors for DUI and served a couple years for “terrorist threats” in California back in 2004 and had been deported to Mexico, but soon returned to the US. In 2015 this waste of life committed acts of domestic violence and was arrested, but authorities bungled his deportation procedures and he remained in the US. Unfortunately, instead of enjoying the good life in the US, Vitorino continued his criminal ways and murdered 4 people in Kansas and another in Missouri, before being arrested after threatening another man with a gun. Vitorino was armed with an AK-47 at the time of his arrest. Vitorino is scheduled for trial August 3, 2016 and faces the death penalty.
2. ISIS/ISIL (whatever), terrorists.
The Islamic extremist Jihadi group calling themselves the Islamic State (either “in Iraq and Syria” or “in the Levant”) continues to perpetrate crimes against humanity not only in the war torn Middle East but also through terrorist acts in Europe and the US. Additionally, their internet propaganda has swayed young Muslims to radicalize and commit terror acts on their own. These phony religious zealots target not only “infidels” (non-Muslims) but also defy the Quran by killing and torturing Muslims that do not explicitly agree with them as well. On top of it, they destroy historical art, architecture and relics whenever possible. Their Un-Holy War has created a massive humanitarian refugee crisis in Europe and the Middle East and threatens to deprive a generation of education, normal life, and ruin years worth of farming resulting in potential starvation.
1. Micah X. Johnson, Cop Killer.
This guy became convinced that white police officers in the United States are targeting Black males for death, murdering Black males for no apparent reason other than race. Johnson was influenced by internet sites that exhorted African-Americans to “burn” white “pigs” and “sprinkle pig blood.” Johnson, like many politicians and those in the media, seems to have been unaware that white cops are more likely to be killed by Black men than the other way around, and of course he misses the point that 93% of Black murder victims are killed by other African-Americans. This jerk executed 5 Dallas police officers and wounded another 7, as well as a couple innocent civilians. Johnson became a footnote in history by being the first person blown up by a police robotic bomb. This case is the culmination of Black Lives Matter movement protesters chanting “Fuck the police” and “Kill the pigs,” setting a fine example for young African-Americans. Irresponsible politicians and journalists that keep the myth alive that police shooting “victims” such as Michael Brown and Alton Sterling were shot for no reason; the “Hands up Don’t Shoot” baloney has been thoroughly debunked (it never happened) and yet it gets repeated as if it were Gospel.
