The Pulpit of Doom Livestream – Episode 2
HERE, NOW – This past Sunday we had our 2nd official livestream over on our Youtube Channel and, well, I got a little inebriated. Jaded wasn’t able to join us at the last minute because of something she called a “plumbing emergency.” I haven’t asked her to clarify and I never will. So it was up to myself and Pagan to wade through the muck that is our top 10 stories of the week. These included everything from the kid that got his head crushed by a moving partition to the man caught having sex with a puppy. Admittedly, I got a little drunker than I intended and may have gone on five too many rants that I vaguely remember. Also, those that know me know I love bad horror movies, gaming, altered consciousness, and cursing. The latter of which is in full effect in this podcast. I usually try to keep it to a minimum but Jaded says my use of profanity increases ten-fold when drinking. So for those of you with sensitive ears who don’t like hearing strong language, I’d skip this one. Y...

Teen Ran Over And Killed Her Baby While Fighting With Boyfriend
ONTARIO, CA – Police have a teen in custody after they say she intentionally used a vehicle to injure her boyfriend and kill her 7-month old daughter. Sarah Gomez, 19, and her 21-year-old boyfriend were at a family gathering Monday night and had both been drinking. They were driving home a few streets away when the two began arguing. When they were in the driveway of their home, the boyfriend got out of the vehicle while carrying the couple’s 7-month-old daughter. According to police, that’s when Gomez, who was in the driver’s seat, intentionally drove into them . “I believe, at this time, that the father and the child were either at the side of the car or at the back of the car, I’m not sure. It did happen near the apron of the driveway and getting into the street area,” said Ontario PD Sgt. Jeff Higbee. The boyfriend was taken to the hospital to be treated for scrapes and bruises, but the 7-month-old was transported to the hospital where she would later die from her injuri...
Girl, 5, Sexually Assaulted For Weeks By 11-Year-Old Boy On School Bus
JACKSON TOWNSHIP, OH – A family of a girl has filed a federal lawsuit against their school district after their kindergartner was sexually assaulted on a school bus. According to the attorney representing the family, the incident happened in 2016 inside a Jackson Local School District bus. “This fifth-grade student had previous serious issues on the bus. He was accused of throwing a lit match on the bus,” said Laura Mills, the family’s attorney. “So he was disciplined. He was suspended from the bus for a week,” Mills added. “He was supposed to be placed in the front right seat alone.” But instead, the 11-year-old boy sat down beside a 5-year-old girl who was sitting directly behind the school bus driver. “The driver is unable to see the seat right behind him,” said Mills. “So then over a period of a couple weeks the kindergartner is subjected to sexual assaults. It is horrific. It is one of the most horrifying cases I have ever handled.” Surveillance footage from inside the bus...
