Who says you can't see interesting things after dark in Downtown Scranton? Last week there was a story about a naked penguin running amok near the Hilton, and now this morning there are reports of a black bear causing chaos along the 200-block of Franklin Avenue. The bear was chased by city officials until it was finally subdued and captured behind the Radisson Hotel. I myself am wondering if this "bear" was really just Mayor Doherty disguised in a fur coat?

Default Masturbation or Gas?

I also just stumbled upon this hillarious article in which a man claims he was not "masturbating" but instead jerking himself around to try to relieve a medical condition! HA!

I'm surprised Doherty didn't step in with his wingtips on and single-handedly "save" the city from this bear, the way he supposedly did with the dog in the Nay Aug gorge. Some good ol' Scranton Times-Doherty slanted PR slop posing as news.

Not exactly downtown, but several years ago, the police had to shoot a cow that escaped from the slaughterhouse and ran for its life along S. Washington Ave in South Side. Ironically, it was heading towards McDonalds.

HA! That's even better than the chicken that was trying to cross I-81 just past the Davis Street exit the other day.

The Times-Tribune - Man ordered to trial for indecent exposure
Quote:
He denied exposing himself, but said he undid his belt and the button on his jeans. He was rubbing his stomach in an attempt to “release the pressure” while waiting for the Pepto-Bismol he’d taken to kick in, he said.

He had just buttoned his jeans and rebuckled his belt when he was approached by a police officer.
Why do these guys feel the need to open their mouths? Once you're arrested, just shut the hell up! Just ask for an attorney. The police have to stop the questioning at that point. That's all you have to do. It's much better to have your attorney talk for you-- not so that otherwise guilty people can go free, but so that you don't dig a hole for yourself when you don't have to! They aren't kidding about that "anything you say can and will be used against you" line you hear about during Law and Order.
