Man Robbed by Teen Girls, Thought He was Meeting MySpace Friend

A Jacksonville man says he was duped and robbed by two girls after attempting to meet with a woman he met on the internet.

The victim says he chatted online with a woman, known on her MySpace.com profile as “Natalia”, for two weeks before deciding to meet with her. He says her profile showed sexy photos, and a blurb which said “just lookin’ for something fun”. That brief, friendly description was all he knew about her before they planned to meet.

“She sent me a message saying she thought she met me somewhere,” says the victim.

They decided to meet at what she called her home at the Bentley Green Apartments.

“I went to [the apartment] and knocked on the door, and there was no answer. So I called her and said, ‘I’m here’ and there was no answer.”

That is when two girls who were 14 and 15-years-old, approached him saying they knew Natalia, the girl he thought he’d be meeting. They also said they knew where he worked at what car he drove.

“This was not the girl that the picture was of on MySpace,” the victim said.

Now sensing something was wrong, he was ready to take off, but was stopped by a shocking discovery.

“[One of the girls] took [a] gun out and put it to my head and told me to empty my pockets.”

Everyplace else its men trying to prey on teens, but not in the home of gator and shark attacks. To be fair Jacksonville is only ostensibly part of Florida, its really more of a south rural Georgia culture until you get out toward the beaches. At least that was my experience. Hope these girls enjoyed their night out, while if they are minors their criminal records may eventually be scrubbed they’re really put a damper on their future. Like most states Florida has extra penalties for crimes committed with a handgun. They also haven’t done much good for MySpaces reputation. The management over their is probably buying Rolaids by the case at this point.

Fox News apparently deeply rejects the team concept when it comes to running a business, Olbermann Adds Ailes To His ‘Worst’ List

FNC chief Roger Ailes has officially joined his host Bill O’Reilly on Keith Olbermann’s list of The Worst People in the World. Ailes was named the worst for the very first time on MSNBC’s Countdown Monday night.

“Apparently, its position as the network of choice for those aged 70 or over, or those with IQ’s 70 or under, is insufficient,” Olbermann started.

“He is now threatening his own staffers, through ‘now hiring’ ads in trade publications, and through a statement issued by a spokesman. ‘Anyone who displays launch-type intensity will continue to have a job at Fox News. Those who don’t will not. And that includes talent.’”

He concluded: “This just proves the theory that even in hell, Satan will still periodically demand more productivity from you.”

I wonder if you would peel back the high collared shirts of all the talking heads at Fox we wouldn’t find one of those electric devices hooked uo to a buzzer in Ailes’ office. When the boss buzzes the dogs must jump. The anonymous spokesman has it wrong, the issue isn’t about productivity, it is about spinning like a top. Are the talent and producers spin hard and fast enough.
