Sons of Anarchy actor murders granny and cat, kills self, spares Katy Perry


SOA star assassinated by Obama's dopedealing starwhackers in retaliation for Kurt Sutter's script on Operation Fast & Furious?

Johnny Lewis was reportedly driven insane by the hallucinogenic designer drug Smiles -- a drug invented by Uncle Sam's U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). The Dragonater previously won a murder conviction for a drug-dealing government assassin with a false passport who traveled to Columbia and currently employed as a "confidential informant" by the US DEA (CIA). The Dragonater took a bullet during that murder trial, in retaliation for appearing on WBIR TV with the victim's family. The homicide prosecutor was then fired and the convicted killer secretly released from prison 3 years before his parole date, and is now working inside the Knox County District Attorney General's office, to the rage of assistant prosecutors...

Johnny Lewis and his family are members of the Scientology mind-kontrol cult run by homicidal FBI and CIA agents who enjoy assassinating US presidents and their families, worships Satan, deals drugs and sacrifices babies.

"sadly, yet, not surprisingly, johnny's story has become headline fodder; sycophants churning out the dirty details. their callous regurgitation is as disturbing as the truth that's being revealed. hopefully people will see beyond the titillating horror and understand the dangers of ignorance when dealing with drug addiction and mental illness -- perhaps a few weeks at "the ranch" wasn't enough. if you pray, say a few for his family. if you don't pray, try to glean some kind of lesson from this man's tragic fall. so glad katie holmes is out of the scientology marriage. feel like the evil empire's taken a blow and america has its sweetheart back."
-Kurt Sutter Twitter

"Let me just start, because I know people are going to be pissed off about the Half-Sack thing. I will tell you that I've been having conversations with Johnny Lewis all season, and Johnny wasn't happy on the show. Creatively, he really wanted out of his contract. We had ongoing conversations, and we decided we'd find some noble way for him to go. It wasn't my intent to try to be sensational and kill off a main character. People are going to have their reaction, but I don't want an actor that's not happy. It's not good for the actor, and it's not good for the show. I love Johnny. I'd work with him again in a heartbeat."

Kay Perry Facebook -- Billboard Woman of the Year by no mention of ex's sudden death

"Katy Perry is allegedly heartbroken over the death of her ex-boyfriend, 28-year-old Johnny Lewis, whose body was found in a driveway on September 26 after the troubled actor fell or jumped from a rooftop following a fight with his 81-year-old landlady, Catherine Davis. Perry, who dated the "Sons of Anarchy" star from 2005 to 2006, knew he was facing dark times, but never expected it to end in his death. A source close to the 27-year-old singer tells Us Weekly that she's "devastated." "She had to separate from him ... to get ahead and focus on her career," the source explains. "He was in trouble then and she couldn't help him." "A lot of her songs were partially inspired by him. I know 'The One That Got Away' and 'Circle the Drain' are partly about him, as well as Travis [McCoy of Gym Class Heroes]," the insider adds. "But she was young and it was a time in her life she cherishes. They had good times. It's really sad. She could never help him and couldn't [let herself] go in that direction."

Sources: 'Sons of Anarchy' actor may have been on 'smiles' drug

"2C-I or 2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenethylamine is a psychedelic phenethylamine of the 2C family. It was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin. It was described in Shulgin’s book PiHKAL: A Chemical Love Story. The drug is used recreationally for its psychedelic and entactogenic effects. 2C-I is commonly sold in its hydrochloride salt form, which is a fluffy, sparkling-white powder, which has also been pressed into tablet form. As of July 9, 2012, in the United States 2C-I is a Schedule I substance under the Synthetic Drug Abuse Prevention Act of 2012, making possession, distribution and manufacture illegal."
-2C-I Wikipedia

"In 1965, Alexander Shulgin left Dow to pursue his own interests, and became a private consultant, also frequently teaching classes in the local universities and at the San Francisco General Hospital. Through his friend Bob Sager, head of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration's Western Laboratories, Shulgin formed a relationship with the DEA and began holding pharmacology seminars for the agents, supplying the DEA with samples of various compounds, and occasionally serving as an expert witness in court. He also authored a definitive law enforcement reference book on controlled substances and received several awards from the DEA. In order to carry out consulting work with the DEA, Shulgin obtained a DEA Schedule I license for an analytical laboratory, which allowed him to possess and synthesize any otherwise illicit drug. Shulgin set up a chemical synthesis laboratory in a small building behind his house, which gave him a great deal of career autonomy. Shulgin used this freedom to synthesize and test the effects of psychoactive drugs."

Los Angeles Times

Investigators are looking into whether "Sons of Anarchy" actor Johnny Lewis may have been under the influence of drugs Wednesday when he allegedly fatally attacked an 81-year-old woman before falling to his own death.

Sources said detectives believe C2-I — a new designer drug known as "smiles" — might have played a role in the incident. The illegal drug causes hallucinogenic effects, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration, and was linked to the deaths of two North Dakota teenagers this summer.

The drug is usually sold in tablets or powder form, which users often mix with chocolate before eating.

Los Angeles police found the body of Lewis in a driveway in the 3600 block of Lowry Road on Wednesday morning, authorities said. Law enforcement sources said he fell on his head from a roof or balcony.

The Los Angeles County coroner's office identified the woman as Catherine Davis, 81, who police said Wednesday may have rented a room to Lewis. The sources said Davis and Lewis got into some kind of altercation.

Details of the incident were still not clear as the investigation continued, but authorities said it began about 10:40 a.m. Wednesday when police received several calls reporting a "screaming woman" and three men fighting.

Lewis allegedly climbed a wall and fought with a house painter at a neighboring residence before going back to Davis' home, police said. He then scaled the wall again to fight with the painter and the owner of the second house, Los Angeles police Sgt. Frank Preciado said.

The owner of the home said reports that Lewis showed “superhuman strength” were accurate. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, he said Lewis was hardly detered by the blows he took, that it was like “hitting him with a fly swatter.”

The neighbor, his wife and the painter ran into the house after managing to shake Lewis. It took all three barricaded against the door to keep him out, said the neighbor, who asked not to be identified.

When officers arrived, they found Lewis' body in the driveway about six feet from the wall. They later found Davis' body at the home. Investigators said they believe Davis died from blunt force trauma and that Lewis was the sole suspect.

Coroner's officials said no official causes of death had been determined.

The two men who fought with the suspect received minor injuries and were treated at the scene, Preciado said.

Best known for his two-season role as Kip "Half-Sack" Epps on "Sons of Anarchy," Lewis' list of credits include appearances on "Boston Public," "The O.C.," "Criminal Minds" and "The Guardian." The Los Angeles native also had several film roles, including a part in "The Runaways" and "Raise Your Voice," starring Hilary Duff.

He most recently played a prisoner in "186 Dollars to Freedom," released this month.

Johnny Lewis Had Scientology Ties, Took "Smiles" Drug Before Death?

"It is the ultimate vampirism, the ultimate mindfuk, instead of going for blood, you're going for their soul. And you take drugs in order to reach that state where you can, quite literally, like a psychic hammer, break their soul, and pull the power through. He designed his Scientology Operating Thetan techniques to do the same thing. But, of course, it takes a couple of hundred hours of auditing and mega-thousands of dollars for the privilege of having your head turned into a glass Humpty Dumpty --shattered into a million pieces. It may sound like incredible gibberish, but it made my father a fortune. Also, you've got to realize that my father did not worship Satan. He thought he was Satan. He was one with Satan. He had a direct pipeline of communication and power with him. My father wouldn't have worshiped anything. I mean, when you think you're the most powerful being in the universe, you have no respect for anything, let alone worship."

US Magazine

After news broke of the Wednesday death of Sons of Anarchy star Johnny Lewis -- who was also named a murder suspect in the death of his landlady, Catherine Davis -- more details are emerging about the life of the actor, who was 28.

Back in 2004, Lewis (who also appeared on The OC, Alien Vs. Predator and American Dream) promoted Narcanon, an anti-drug program created by the Church of Scientology, the Daily News reports. The paper also writes that Lewis' parents were both active Scientologists, with his father, Michael Lewis, appearing in an instructional self-help video based on the works of L. Ron Hubbard, the Church's founder.

Although toxicology reports are pending, authorities are investigating whether Lewis was on a new, synthetic drug known as "Smiles" before the violent rampage at 81-year-old Davis' house in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles.

On Wednesday, Lewis got into a violent altercation with Davis, neighbor Daniel Blackburn and a handyman; police report that Davis was bludgeoned to death, and Lewis eventually jumped or fell off the roof, leading to his death.

"We still don't have a motive, whether this was just the random act of somebody acting crazy or whether there was some type of altercation or dispute," LAPD Commander Andrew Smith told the Daily News.

"There are several new drugs that are coming out after bath salts got outlawed," Smith said of the "Smiles" report. "We don't have any hard evidence that he was on anything."

Lewis, who dated Katy Perry back in 2005 and 2006, was arrested numerous times in 2012 for assault, breaking and entering and burglary -- spending time in court-ordered rehab as well as jail.

A recent report written by a probation officer gave a troubling warning sign about the star's state of mind.

"This officer is very concerned for the well being of not only the community but that of the defendant. It is apparent to this officer that the defendant suffers from some form of chemical dependency, mental health issue and a lack of permanent housing," writes the report, according to the Daily News.

His ex Katy Perry, a source told Us Weekly, is "devastated" by his death. "It's really sad. She could never help him and couldn't [let herself] go in that direction."


‘Sons of Anarchy’ Creator Kurt Sutter Not Surprised By Johnny Lewis Death

The Inquisitor

Sons of Anarchy creator Kurt Sutter says he’s not surprised by the death of Johnny Lewis. Sutter, who also plays Big Otto on the show tells TMZ that Lewis was on a “destructive path” in his life.

In a Twitter post following the grisly murder-suicide scene Sutter tweeted that the loss of Lewis is:

“A tragic end for an extremely talented guy, who unfortunately had lost his way.”

Sutter further wrote:

“I wish I could say that I was shocked by the events of last night, but I was not.”

The shows creator then added:

“I am deeply sorry that an innocent life had to be thrown into his destructive path. Yes, it’s day of mourning, but it’s also a day of awareness and gratitude. Sadly, some of us carry the message by dying.”

The crime and his death was not shocking to Sutter because Johnny Lewis had been arrested on several occasions for violent crimes before murdering his landlady on Wednesday morning.

The 28-year 0ld actor was released from jail on Sept. 21 after spending about six weeks behind bars for assault with a deadly weapon. Lewis had pled no contest to first degree burglary earlier this year, after his plea bargain was accepted he received 291 days in jail and three years probation for that felony count.

The coroners have not yet conducted a drug screen which could provide valuable information into the events leading up to the murder-suicide. A full drug panel usually takes several weeks to provide full results for investigation purposes.


Sons of Anarchy Creator Kurt Sutter: Johnny Lewis “Lost His Way” Before Death

Gossip Cop

The bizarre demise of actor Johnny Lewis, who either fell or jumped to his death after possibly murdering his elderly landlady, did not completely surprise his onetime “Sons of Anarchy” boss Kurt Sutter.

Sutter, the creator of the series on which Lewis starred for two seasons as Kip ‘Half Sack’ Epps, reacted to the tragic events in a WhoSay post on Thursday.

He wrote, “Not sure if folks know this yet, but johnny lewis (halfsack) died last night… it was a tragic end for an extremely talented guy, who unfortunately had lost his way.”

Sutter continued, “I wish i could say that i was shocked by the events last night, but i was not. i am deeply sorry that an innocent life had to be thrown into his destructive path.”

He added, “Yes, it’s [a] day [of] mourning, but it’s also a day of awareness and gratitude. sadly, some of us carry the message by dying.”

Lewis, who also appeared in the film The Runaways and in series like “The O.C.” and “Boston Public,” dated Katy Perry in 2006.

The singer has not yet commented on his death, but other stars have.

Perry’s friend, actress Shannon Woodward, tweeted, “Johnny Lewis, I love you deeply and madly and always. My heart is broken in a million little pieces. I will miss you every day.”

She added, “Johnny Lewis was one of my best friends. He was very, very ill. His actions were a despicable result of that. It was not who he was.”

Haylie Duff, whose sister Hilary starred with Lewis in Raise Your Voice, wrote on Twitter, “So sad to hear the news about Johnny Lewis. Such a nice and talented guy. RIP.”

Josh Schwartz, creator and executive producer of “The O.C.,” tweeted, “Sad news about Johnny Lewis.”

“Hadn’t seen him in years but back then he was a very sweet, nice, talented guy,” he wrote, adding, “Thoughts to his family.”

There are a number of rumors circulating about the circumstances surrounding Lewis’ death, his mental health, and the killing of 81-year-old landlady Catherine Davis.

Gossip Cop will have updates when more has been confirmed.


Johnny Lewis Might Have Taken Drug 'Smiles' Before Killings

ABC News

Police in Los Angeles suspect that Johnny Lewis, the "Sons of Anarchy" actor who allegedly beat to death his landlady and killed her cat before he plunged from a roof to his own death, might have been high on designer drugs, possibly a new drug called "smiles."

Police say they have found no evidence of drugs, pending the results of toxicology tests that could take several weeks, but the actor's behavior was consistent with the psychotic effects they've seen in other designer-drug users.

Lewis, 28, is believed to have attacked his landlady on Wednesday morning at the Writer's Villa, a bed and breakfast-style house for young people working in Hollywood. Officers responded at 10:40 a.m. to reports of a screaming woman and breaking glass.

As police arrived on the scene, Lewis' body was in the driveway and Catherine Davis, 81, was dead in her bedroom. The cause of death was blunt-force trauma and strangulation. She had been beaten to death, and her cat was found in the bathroom. Police say the cat's body was mutilated.

Lewis is the only suspect in the killings, and no one else fled the scene, according to police. Eyewitnesses told police that Lewis appeared to show "superhuman strength."

"Mr. Lewis at some point jumped over a fence into a neighbor's yard, and for some reason attacked the painter who was over there painting the house," LAPD Cmd. Andrew Smith told ABC News."The painter and the homeowner were able to get him away. He jumped back into his yard where he was staying and at some point shortly thereafter fell to his death."

Smith said that there is a strong possibility drugs were involved, but at this point investigators are unsure.

Police say they have not located any drugs, and won't know for sure whether Lewis had ingested any illicit substances before his death until his toxicology report comes back from his autopsy. But they suspect that he might have been on the newest hallucinogenic synthetic drug.

"The thing we are seeing lately here in Los Angeles and across the country are synthetic designer-type drugs, something like 'bath salts', or the new one we've heard around here called 'smiles,'" Cmd. Smith said.

Known on the street as "smiles," 2C-I is sold in a powder or pill form and has a psychedelic affect on the user. The federal Drug Enforcement Administration lists it as a schedule-I controlled substance, and it is therefore illegal to manufacture, sell or buy.

Lewis was arrested Aug. 8 and had been jailed on assault with a deadly weapon and burglary charges, according to KABC-TV. He was released less than a week before his alleged rampage in L.A.'s Los Feliz neighborhood, according to jail records.

Colleagues of Lewis' say he had been leading a troubled life. Kurt Sutter, the creator and executive producer of "Sons of Anarchy," tweeted that Lewis had "unfortunately lost his way."

"I wish I could say that I was shocked by the events last night, but I was not," he wrote.


‘Sons of Anarchy’ actor Johnny Lewis was 'out of control' before rampage, championed Scientology drug-treatment program before rampage

NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

Actor Johnny Lewis helped promote Scientology's controversial drug rehab program before a downward spiral led him to jail, court-ordered rehab elsewhere, the murder of his landlady and possible suicide, documents show.

Lewis publicly promoted the Church of Scientology's drug program, Narconon, in 2004, saying his mom used Narconon materials to teach him to avoid drugs.

A photo of Lewis at a Narconon event was posted on the program's website until late Thursday. Lewis' parents are active members of the controversial church, and his father co-wrote a movie with founder L. Ron Hubbard, according to IMDB.

The dad also appears in a 2011 YouTube video lecturing about ways to deal with crisis using Hubbard's teachings.

Lewis spent two seasons playing Kip (Half Sack) Epps on the FX motorcycle-gang drama "Sons of Anarchy," but his life had steadily unraveled over the past 10 months as he struggled with drug and mental-health issues, according to court documents and Los Angeles probation officers.

The former paramour of singer Katy Perry had been arrested three times in 2012 and was only five days out of jail before the bizarre and violent rampage in Los Angeles on Wednesday that left him and his 81-year-old landlady, Catherine Davis, dead.

Catherine Davis was bludgeoned to death by Lewis, police said.

Investigators were probing whether Lewis had been on a popular new synthetic drug called Smiles, the Daily News reported Thursday.

Lewis was renting a room from Davis, who owned a sprawling hillside home that she advertised as a “villa” for actors and writers.

Johnny Lewis' father, Michael, lecturing on how to get through a crisis based on a video of L. Ron Hubbard's teachings.

On Wednesday morning, the troubled actor allegedly went berserk in Davis' living quarters, ransacking furniture and bludgeoning the elderly woman to death, police said.

She was also strangled and her cat dismembered, sources said.

Lewis then hopped an external privacy wall and attacked a house painter next door, reportedly using a 2-by-4 board and a paint roller, police said.

The house's owner, Daniel Blackburn, rushed to the painter's aid and was badly beaten.

He had deep red bruising around his eyes Thursday when he told The News he also sustained a chipped tooth in the melee.

Lewis climbed back over the wall as multiple neighbors called for help, traveled across Davis' property again and either fell or jumped to his death in her driveway.

The cause of death will be declared after toxicology results come in, Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter told The News.

Probation officials had warned Lewis' behavior was growing increasingly erratic in recent months, even as the actor continued to land movie roles.

"This officer is very concerned for the well being of not only the community but that of the defendant. It is apparent to this officer that the defendant suffers from some form of chemical dependency, mental health issue and a lack of permanent housing," a probation officer wrote in recent report.

Family and friends had made repeated attempts to get help for Lewis to address "drug abuse and mental illness," sources told the Los Angeles Times.

Both Perry and "Sons of Anarchy" creator Kurt Sutter expressed sorrow over his death. The tragic end did not come as a complete surprise, Sutter said on Twitter.

“I wish I could say that I was shocked by the events last night, but I was not," the tweet said. "I am deeply sorry that an innocent life had to be thrown into his destructive path."

Lewis had also become increasingly violent, court records indicate.

On Jan. 3, Lewis was arrested after breaking into a Los Angeles-area town home and beating two men over their heads with an empty Perrier bottle.

Lewis was taken into custody a month later for assault and then days later for trying to break into a woman's Santa Monica, Calif., home.

He was arrested in March for failing to appear in court and was jailed until late May.

A judge ordered the actor into a 30-day drug and mental-health treatment program.

He spent time at the Ridgeview Ranch Residential Treatment program and then represented himself in court Aug. 8 when he pleaded no contest to the Jan. 3 assault.

He was sentenced to 365 days in jail. He was convicted of the burglary Aug. 17, receiving 291 days in jail.

He was released Sept. 21 due to jail overcrowding and credit for his time behind bars earlier in the year.

Police said he rented his room from Davis in the last two weeks.

Her upscale home on a sleepy street was billed as a "Writer's Villa" online and lists celebrities Parker Posey, Paula Poundstone and "Hung" star Thomas Jane among its prior tenants.

Lewis' acting career spanned 12 years and included a star turn in 2007's "Aliens vs. Predator - Requiem," as well as recurring roles on the TV series "The O.C." and "American Dream."

Lewis grew up in Los Angeles and reportedly has a daughter from a prior relationship.

His father works at the Valley Life Improvement Center, which incorporates Scientology into its counseling.

"Johnny was the bright star of our lives. We always looked up to him, and now I guess we'll have to look up a little higher," dad Michael Lewis, 62, told The News as his voice cracked with emotion.

He declined to discuss the circumstances of his son's death. "That's all I can tell you," he said.

Davis was kind and generous, said neighbors who lived in her affluent Los Feliz community.

"Catherine was very friendly and lively and fun," recalled Barbara Angvire, her neighbor since the 1960s. "My son used to play with her daughter Margaret. I was so shocked to hear this happened. We've lived here since the 1960s. I feel so bad for her daughter."

Malingering

Rider banned after feigning faint SNTV 3 A Grand Prix Moto Racer in Brazil has been banned from a local championship after pretending to faint during the race. The city of Santa Cruz do Sul in Southern Brazil witnessed one of the most bizarre scenes ever in Moto Racing. During the Rio Grande do Sul State Moto Grand Prix, competitor Marlinton dos Reis Teixeira - known by his nickname Kalunga - was unable to make a turn on the rainy track and slipped. He lost precious seconds trying to return to the race and decided to go for a red flag by pretending to faint in the middle of the track. Several racers passed by him and luckily Kalunga was not hit. Some of his fellow riders then stopped to help him. An ambulance and a safety car were sent to help the apparently stricken rider and paramedics took three minutes to remove him. Later, the MotoRacing Association of Rio Grande do Sul State found out about Kalunga's apparent faint and banned the rider from the championship.

2009 Police Suicide Statistics

Officer.com

The Badge of Life Organization recently released their preliminary 2009 police suicide statistics. There were 143 police suicides in 2009, a slight increase from 2008 police suicides of 141. In 2009 there were 127 in the line of duty deaths. Officer suicide rates are at least double of the general population. Any law enforcement suicide is one too many. World Suicide Prevention Day is observed on September 10 each year to promote worldwide action to prevent suicides. Various events and activities are held during this occasion to raise awareness that suicide is a major preventable cause of premature death.

The 2009 Badge of Life police suicide study provided additional demographic information:

•Ages 40-44 are at highest risk of suicide, representing 27% of all suicides.

•Service time at highest risk was twenty years plus.

•Officers with less than ten years on the job had a suicide rate of 17%.

•64% of suicides were a surprise.

There is no easy or full proof way to identify which officers are most at risk for taking their own lives. Every officer has his or her breaking point. The stresses of daily life, coupled with stresses from tragic/critical events, can push a police officer to end his/her life. Recognizing the signs and symptoms of stress and depression before an officer reaches that breaking point is essential.

The top predictors for suicide for anyone are: a diagnostic mental disorder, alcohol or substance use, loss of social or family support, and the availability and access to a firearm. 90% of officers commit suicide using a gun. Additionally, about 90% of the time, an officer is drinking heavily when he/she kills himself/herself. Statistically, most officers that commit suicide are white males, working patrol and are entering middle-age. They have experienced a recent loss, real or perceived. Most have no record of misconduct. Most shoot themselves while off duty.

The foremost researcher in stress in the world, Hans Selye, said that police work is the most stressful occupation. Officers witness life's most horrible scenes. Nothing can possibly prepare a police officer for what he or she might encounter on the job. They are first on scene when a child dies, a woman is raped, a senseless homicide, a teenager's suicide, a car ablaze with victims trapped, drug overdoses, and domestic violence calls. These calls have an effect on even the most seasoned officers. The calls add up. The job lacks balance. Most other professions experience more of a blend of the good with the bad, not so for an officer; it is frequently one heart wrenching call after another. Additionally, an officer's life is in danger every day, they can never let their guard down; never turn off the adrenaline pump. While officers generally operate well under stress, too much stress may have disastrous outcomes.

Officers often work 10-12 hour shifts, at hours most people could not conceive of. There is often disruption in their lives due to rotating shifts. Overtime is often mandatory, and a call to court for testimony can further disrupt an officer's sleep routine and requirements. Meals are often a luxury due to the demands of the beat. Family and other personal relationships are forced to the back seat. They want to protect their families from the horrors they have to deal with routinely, refusing to discuss their work with significant others. Family members may feel left out, confused, neglected. Resentments often build.

Other sources of officer stress are related to the ever present scrutiny by the command cadre as well as criticism from the public and media. There is an overwhelming sense of disappointment when an officer is not chosen for a promotion he/she felt was due. Couple this with frustration from the criminal justice system, despite the officer's best efforts, the bad guys get off. Cliques within a department can make an officer feel ostracized. Officers have an increased risk of contracting serious diseases, also adding to their stress. Emphasis on political correctness and cultural diversity also can create additional stress for any officer.

Most importantly, law enforcement officers are subject to repeated critical incident stress. Any critical incident can trigger a post traumatic stress disorder. PTSD can surface immediately or years after exposure to the traumatic event. PTSD frequently becomes a vicious cycle of despair that leads to the use of maladaptive coping skills including suicide. Depression, the most significant risk factor for suicide, is a hallmark symptom of PTSD. Untreated PTSD can also lead to flashbacks, phobias, anxiety and panic disorders. The effects of PTSD may be evidenced by an officer's decreased job performance, divorce and alcohol/substance abuse, and eventually by suicide. When alcohol or other chemicals are used in an attempt to relieve stress, suicide rates and other problems multiply.

Many obstacles may prevent an officer from seeking professional help for his or her depression, anxiety or suicidal thoughts. There are concerns that if they tell their chain of command their careers will be ruined, they will be determined not fit for duty, their gun will be confiscated, they will they be viewed as weak and all hopes of advancement will be destroyed. They may fear being terminated. There is always a fear of confidentiality. The officer worries about the reactions, including further alienation and retribution from peers. The stigma of mental illness remains rampant among many law enforcement officers. The idea of needing help implies cowardice and an inability to fulfill the role of an officer. Officers with a history of depression or anxiety are identified as the weak-link, the guy who folds under pressure. So the officer tries to solve his problems personally and quietly, often with disastrous results.

Law enforcement officers are much more hesitant than average citizens to seek psychiatric treatment. Often they mistrust mental health professionals. Perceptions of clinicians as bleeding hearts who get criminals out of sentences and incarceration can fuel this mistrust. There are also frequent misperceptions of psychiatric evaluations and mental health treatment. An officer may perceive the help as a humiliating and emasculating experience: they have been fine all their lives; thus they can get through this stress without getting shrunk. There may also be an underlying fear that the psychiatrist may find something more or really wrong with him.

Virtually all suicides are preventable with appropriate intervention. Departments must do more to reduce the risk of one of their own taking his or her life. Departments should include suicide awareness training for officers and command focusing on identification of at risk officers, prevention programs and training. Departments also need to implement debriefing strategies after each critical incident. They must also debrief in the event that an officer succeeds in completing suicide. Officers are frequently referred to as brothers and sisters; survivors of the suicide of a family member are up to nine times more likely to commit suicide themselves in comparison with the average person.

The department should assist the officer in finding treatment where his or her needs are best met. A department psychiatrist may have more knowledge of the officer and his or her current pressures. However, the department's clinician may also be involved in evaluating the officer's mental status in regards for fitness for duty. An outside therapist, not involved in the police departmental process, may seem more trustworthy to the officer. Foremost, the officer, psychiatrist, and department need clarification related to the officer's confidentiality and the chain of command prior to initiating psychotherapy or psychopharmacology.

If you are an officer reading this, you may know a peer at risk. As an officer you are frequently called to check the welfare of a possibly suicidal citizen, to prevent a suicide. As a peer you must do the same for another officer. Be aware of signs that someone may be suicidal such as:

•talking about suicide
•making statements related to hopelessness or helplessness
•a preoccupation with death
•a loss of interest in things the officer once cared about
•making detailed arrangements related to insurance and finances
•giving away valued or prized possessions

Notice what is going on in his/her life.

•Is he/she recently separated or divorced, did he/she lose custody of a child?
•Has he/she been involved in a critical incident or under scrutiny by an internal affairs investigation?
•Is the officer pulling away from others, is job performance suffering?
• Is he having increased medical complaints, does he leave work or miss work frequently?
•Do you suspect he/she is abusing alcohol or other substances?
•Do you see a red flag or have a gut level concern?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, do something now. Ask the officer what is going on in his or her life. Ask if they are okay and how they are handling a current stressor. Ask them if they feel depressed, and ask them about suicidal thoughts. Help them get the help they need before they take a life - their own. If they won't seek help on their own go to a trusted supervisor with your concerns. Yes, this is one situation where you may have to break the code of silence. If something is still not being done, go to someone else: the chaplain, your union representative, the department clinician. You are willing to go to any lengths for an officer who needs assistance on a call; you are willing to risk your life for him at every scene. Do something today to prevent the loss of an officer by his or her own hands.

If you are an officer who is hurting and contemplating suicide, reach out now. There are many people who really do care about you, who really do want to help you, who don't want to attend your funeral. Seeking help is a sign of strength not of weakness. It is the first step in reestablishing control in your life. Always remember when there is life there is hope.

In Loving Memory to the fine men and women, who dedicated themselves to helping others and saving lives, yet tragically took their own. It's not how you died, but how you lived.

UT students shove beer pipe up their ass to protest underage Prohibition


So who's ready for sloppy seconds with your gay buds? No law against underage enemas. Johnny Knoxville got rich off this shit. GO VOLS!

beer enema - An act in which one lubricates the neck of a beer bottle then fully sits on it so it completely enters that person anally. They then lean forward, lifting the bottle upwards so the contents flow into their anal cavity. The bottle is then removed and the contents are sprayed from the anus. This also produces a quick alcohol buzz compared to drinking the beer. Also related to the term, "beer enema cocktail" in which someone drinks the beer after it has been used as an enema.

UT chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity suspended over alcohol incident

Sep 24, 2012

KNOXVILLE (WATE) - The University of Tennessee, Knoxville's Pi Kappa Alpha (PIKE) chapter is administratively suspended, officials said Monday.

The UT Police Department is leading an investigation connected to alcohol incidents on Saturday that involved the fraternity's Zeta chapter.

Police say a 20-year-old, unresponsive man in critical condition was dropped off at UT Medical Center. Hospital staff said his blood alcohol content was well over .40.

At the Pike House, officers found several people passed out, including three men.

Investigators believe fraternity members were putting alcohol through rubber tubing into their rectums. This practice greatly heightens the level and speed of alcohol entering the blood stream because it bypasses filtering by the liver.

The suspension was put into effect by UT and the International Chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha. It will last for 30 days, or until a decision is made about the chapter's permanent status.

The fraternity cannot operate during this time, according to a letter released Monday from the Pi Kappa Alpha International Fraternity office.

A press release from fraternity headquarters says in part: "The fraternity has been in contact with the chapter leaders, local alumni, and the university and has requested all members cooperate fully with the ongoing police investigation. The international fraternity in no way condones this behavior and while this is disappointing and saddening to have learned of the inexcusable actions of these students, our thoughts and prayers are with them and their families during this difficult time."

The Knoxville Police Department is assisting UTPD as needed with this investigation.


UT student had blood-alcohol level over 0.40; fraternity chapter suspended

By Hayes Hickman
Knoxville News Sentinel
September 24, 2012

KNOXVILLE — A University of Tennessee fraternity has been suspended for 30 days while campus police investigate an incident in which a student was found to have a blood-alcohol level "well over 0.40" that left him in critical condition, according to reports and a police spokesman.

Officers responded about 1:30 a.m. Saturday to the University of Tennessee Medical Center emergency room after an unresponsive 20-year-old man was brought in by four young men, according to a University of Tennessee Police Department incident report.

The victim appeared to be "extremely intoxicated and showed signs of physical and possible sexual assault," the report states.

Investigators later determined that the student had received an alcohol enema at the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity house, 1820 Fraternity Park Drive, on campus. Police determined other students at the Pike house had engaged in that form of alcohol consumption.

One of the men who brought the victim to the emergency room described the incident to police investigators as "butt-chugging," or "inserting a tube into the anus and then funneling an alcoholic beverage rectally," according to the report.

Knoxville Police Department spokesman Darrell DeBusk identified the victim as Alexander P. Broughton of Memphis.

Broughton was transferred to the hospital's critical care unit. He was no longer listed as a patient at the hospital this evening, according to a nursing supervisor.

When officers later arrived at the fraternity house, they found several people inside, including three males who were passed out, DeBusk said this afternoon.

"Upon extensive questioning it is believed that members of the fraternity were using rubber tubing inserted into their rectums as a conduit for alcohol as the abundance of capillaries and blood vessels present greatly heightens the level and speed of the alcohol entering the blood stream as it bypasses the filtering by the liver," DeBusk states in a news release.

The fraternity's UT chapter has since been administratively suspended by Pi Kappa Alpha International, pending a decision regarding its permanent status, according to a statement release by UT spokeswoman Karen Ann Simsen.

UTPD is leading an investigation into the incident.

No criminal charges have been filed.

The fraternity's UT chapter previously was suspended for two weeks after three pledges were hospitalized following a January 2008 hazing incident. A family member told the News Sentinel that the students had developed staph infections after being made to do exercises on a bathroom floor.

An undisclosed number of chapter members later were expelled by PKA International.


2007 Darwin Award Winner

The 2007 winners have just been announced at the Darwin Awards web site. The Darwin Awards are "named in honor of Charles Darwin, the father of evolution, [and] commemorate those who improve our gene pool by accidentally removing themselves from it."

Yesterday you read about the runners-up. Here is this year's big winner:

The Enema Within

Michael was an alcoholic. And not an ordinary alcoholic, but an alcoholic who liked to take his liquor... well, rectally.

His wife said he was "addicted to enemas" and often used alcohol in this manner. The result was the same: inebriation. The machine shop owner couldn't drink alcohol due to a painful throat ailment, so he elected to receive his favorite beverage via enema.

One May evening, Michael was in for one hell of a party. He convinced his wife to administer two 1.5 litre bottles of sherry, more than 100 fluid ounces, right up the old address! When the rest of us have had enough, we either stop drinking or pass out. When Michael had had enough (and subsequently passed out) the alcohol remaining in his rectal cavity continued to be absorbed.

The next morning, Michael was dead. The 58-year-old did a pretty good job of embalming himself. According to toxicology reports, his blood alcohol level was 0.47%, but his wife was arrested for administering the fatal enema.

In order to qualify for a Darwin Award, a person must remove himself from the gene pool via an "astounding misapplication of judgment." Three litres of sherry up the butt can only be described as astounding. (5/21/04, Texas; charges against wife were finally dropped in 2007)


London Daily Mail
25 September 2012

A student has almost died after being given an 'alcohol enema' at a college fraternity house.

Alexander Broughton, 20, was rushed to hospital unconscious after a rubber tube was inserted into his rectum and alcohol poured in.

The practice, known among students as 'butt chugging', took place during a party at the Pi Kappa Alpha House on the grounds of the University of Tennessee.

Using the enema speeds up the process of alcohol entering the blood stream because it bypasses the liver's filters.

The 20-year-old was found to have a dangerously-high blood alcohol level of 'well over' 0.4.

Hospital staff treating the unconscious student at first thought he was the victim of a sexual assault when they examined his body.

They later discovered from his friends that he had been given the crude alcohol enema at the frat house in Knoxville.

Doctors at the UT Medical Center said the student had ingested so much alcohol he could have died from alcohol poisoning.

Investigators who later went to the frat house found three other students passed out in their rooms from drinking. They also found boxes of empty boxes of wine strewn around the Pi Kappa Alpha House.

University officials have now suspended the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity while police investigate the drinking party.

Broughton, who is from Memphis, was taken to hospital by a friend in the early hours of Saturday morning, according to a police report.

The student appeared to be 'extremely intoxicated and showed signs of physical and possible sexual assault'.

He was transferred to the hospital's critical care unit after his blood alcohol reading was put at 'well over' 0.4.

Broughton was discharged from the hospital on Monday. Police discovered that the 20-year-old and others at the frat house had been taking part in 'butt chugging'.

Police spokesman Darrell DeBusk said: 'Upon extensive questioning it is believed that members of the fraternity were using rubber tubing inserted into their rectums as a conduit for alcohol as the abundance of capillaries and blood vessels present greatly heightens the level and speed of the alcohol entering the blood stream as it bypasses the filtering by the liver.'

A spokesman for the University of Tennessee said: 'University officials are currently conducting an investigation into allegations involving the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity chapter and incidents that occurred over the weekend.

'Due to the gravity of the allegations, interim sanctions have already been imposed upon the chapter and will remain in effect until the investigation is concluded and final reports are available.'

It is not the first time the PIKE chapter has been involved in trouble at the university.

In 2008, the chapter was placed on administrative suspension after a hazing incident where pledges were allegedly asked to do push-ups on broken glass.

Three students were later hospitalized with staph infections. A member of the fraternity said pledges were asked perform a 'lateral ab movement' known as 'bows and toes' on the bathroom floor.

The university's Office of Student Judicial Affairs charged the chapter with hazing and it pleaded guilty.

After completing its suspension, the chapter served several months of probation. The international PIKE organization investigated and kicked out 25 of the chapter's active members.

DEALS GAP DRAGON --History Channel was on the Dragon filming for Only in America. This episode should air sometime in early 2013.

The Dragonater was apparently banned from Killboy's Facebook this week for posting link to TDOT report confessing THP illegally banned photogs on the Dragon, which includes Larry the Cable Guy and Discovery Channel! Fear the pigs?

Several nameless photogs offered to pay the Dragonator to investigate the Nazi cops during their Britzkreig on the Dragon, and suggested The Dragonater investigate bikers being sent to state prison for bogus "felony evading" (riding a normal speed) during routine traffic stops in Blount County.

"What a coincidence, I grew up on a pig farm, too!"

Pigs arrest TN traffic judge for stealing pig's stolen money


Not the same James Taylor who raced cars in a movie at Deals Gap Former Hawkins judge James F. Taylor faces prison term NASHVILLE, TENN. -- Former Hawkins County Sessions Judge James F. Taylor will be disbarred and spend at least three years in prison for forging documents and claiming expenses for legal work he never performed. Taylor, 41, of Rogersville, pleaded guilty Thursday in Davidson County Criminal Court to six counts of felony theft. He was initially indicted on 41 counts. Under a plea agreement, he will be sentenced to 13 years, can apply for parole after three years, and will be disbarred at least through 2025. At the request of 3rd Judicial District Attorney General Berkeley Bell, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the Tennessee Attorney General's Office investigated allegations against Taylor. The case was prosecuted by the Davidson County District Attorney General's Office. Prosecutors said that when Taylor was an attorney and part-time judge, he falsified documents to make it appear that he represented clients that he had not been hired or appointed to represent, then submitted false bills to the Administrative Office the Courts, which reimburses lawyers for services to indigent clients. Taylor also has a separate pending case in Hawkins County. The resolution in that case will be a plea agreement that includes additional jail time and restitution, according to Davidson County District Attorney General Torry Johnson. Taylor was elected Juvenile Court judge in 2006. In 2011, he was appointed to a Sessions Court judgeship when incumbent Judge David Brand died. Taylor invoked his Fifth Amendment rights during a probe by the Tennessee Court of the Judiciary into allegations he had taken more than $9,000 from a client for personal benefit and kept money that had been raised to pay for a planned "heritage display" for the courthouse, authorities said.

Pigs fly at Deals Gap

"What's with the 2 SUV's the Blount County officers were driving? White, unmarked, with TN tags, not government. Didn't see them making any stops with them but might be something to keep an eye out for. I've heard there's an off-white Ford SUV-type vehicle with some sports stickers cruising around up there. It's an undercover posing as a soccer mom. Be aware. There was also a black Ford Explorer undercover up there Saturday." -ETR

Extra motorcycle patrols will be on the roads in four counties this week WBIR Web Staff September 12th, 2012 Look out for a lot of extra law enforcement this week, particularly officers on motorcycles. Law enforcement agencies from four counties, including Knox, Blount, Loudon, and Sevier, are teaming up with the Tennessee Highway Patrol and Governor's Highway Safety Offices for a saturation patrol. The extra enforcement starts Wednesday and runs through the weekend. The goal is to reduce wrecks, target unsafe drivers and enforce seat belt laws. Officials say the majority of traffic fatalities involve people not wearing seat belt. "Two seconds you could buckle your seat belt before you pull out and it may save your life or save you from some grave injury that you could receive in a vehicle crash," said Lt. Johnny McDonald with the Tennessee Highway Patrol. The motorcycle cop crackdown will continue through the UT/Florida game this weekend.

Pigs ticket Winona Judd hubby for chopping off leg in bike crash

Update Wynonna Judd's husband, Michael Scott "Cactus" Moser, who severed his left leg in a motorcycle accident in South Dakota over the weekend, had to have his leg amputated above the knee, according to a statement from one of Judd's representatives. Moser, a drummer in Judd's band, also had to undergo surgery on his hand, according to Jennifer Witherell. The Associated Press reports that Moser and Judd were riding separate motorcycles on U.S. Highway 16 in the Black Hills of South Dakota on Saturday when Moser's motorcycle crossed into oncoming traffic and hit a car. Judd was riding in front of Moser and was not injured in the crash. Moser was cited for crossing the center line and for not having a motorcycle license. The outpouring of prayer and support from friends, family and fans has been a blessing to both Cactus and I," Judd said Sunday in a statement. "Cactus is a champion. I love him deeply and I will not leave his side." On Monday, a separate statement read: "Judd and Moser appreciate all of the quick medical responders as well as the hospital staff and well-wishes from family, friends and fans, but goddamn those fucking pigs wrote me a ticket!" The couple was married at Judd's farm in Leiper's Fork in June. Now Moser can walk like a pirate. Aye!

SOA Premier tonight on False Flag Terror Anniversary



Sons of Anarchy Roars Back For Season 5

TV Guide
Sep 11, 2012

"Heavy is the head that wears the crown," goes the old saying. And as Jax Teller, antihero of FX's Sons of Anarchy and new president of the titular motorcycle club, will discover this season, it's heavier still with two new influences whispering in his ears.

Fresh off its most watched season, the oft-described Hamlet-on-Harleys will likely get another boost from Dexter/NYPD Blue vet Jimmy Smits and Lost/Oz alum Harold Perrineau, who both join for lengthy stints in Season 5 as a dubious ally and a formidable enemy, respectively.

Smits plays Nero Padilla, a self-described "companionator" (read: pimp), former gang-banger and counselor for the newly crowned Jax (Charlie Hunnam). Creator Kurt Sutter says Nero is a new breed of character for the series, the mentor who might not have his protégé's best interests at heart: "We try to live in the gray on the show — you're not quite sure who to root for or who to hate."

Unlike most characters in the Sons universe, Nero's connection to the club begins solely through Gemma (Katey Sagal), whose marriage to ex-club president Clay (Ron Perlman) imploded at the end of last season. "Nero is a repercussion of some of Gemma's denial behavior," explains Sagal.

Despite the potentially fatal fallout from Clay — Perlman warns that, whatever Clay's endgame is, "he cannot live without Gemma" — she and Nero find themselves in a budding relationship. "All of the characters are trying to find footholds," Smits says. "Nero in his way facilitates that for both Gemma and Jax."

Perrineau's character, ex-drug lord Damon Pope, "falls into a more archetypal pattern on the show," Sutter says. Pope begins the season as one of the more terrifying antagonists the club has seen, and with good reason: The club was responsible for his daughter's death last season. "You don't cross Damon Pope," says Perrineau. "At the end of the day, it's really just a problem."

One Son learns that the hard way in the premiere, when he winds up on the receiving end of Pope's wrath. Perrineau says Pope's vengeance is one of the most jaw-droppingly awful moments he's ever played — and that's saying something. "I've been on an island trapped, I've been in jail with guys who [perform sex acts] to get smack. I thought, 'Nothing's going to surprise me.'" He laughs. "The very first episode, I was like, 'Ohhh...augh.'"

And yet, for a show whose bread and butter is blood and mayhem, the word most often associated with its making is surprising: fun. Smits, Perrineau, Sagal, Perlman and Sutter himself all use it, which may be why so many other big (and unexpected) names will pop up this season, including Community cutup Joel McHale and High School Musical grad Ashley Tisdale. "It's one of those things where the more popular the show gets, these fans pop out of the woodwork," explains Sutter. And now that the show is entering its final phase, wannabe guest stars had better get while the getting is good.

Sutter's current plan is to ride off into the sunset after seven seasons, but if he has a definitive ending in mind, he's not telling. Even Sagal, his real-life wife, doesn't know what's to come. "I keep asking, 'What's going on?' But he won't give it up," she says.

Perlman, similarly in the dark, jokes, "All I can tell you is, if we are following the structure of Hamlet, no one ends up alive." Ah, well. Such is the life of a Son.

Sons of Anarchy premieres Tuesday at 10/9c on FX.
