Video shows Massachusetts jogger fighting off rapist!

Video After The Jump

(FoxNews) A female jogger in Massachusetts managed to fight off an attempted kidnapper who allegedly sexually assaulted her as he tried to drag the woman into his car early Sunday morning.

The frightening confrontation caught on a surveillance camera shows a man identified as Gordon J. Lyons, 57, slowly pulling up his car to the 37-year-old woman while she jogged down the street.

In the footage, the man can be seen getting out of his car, approaching the woman and then attempting to grab her. The two then scuffled behind a tree where he allegedly assaulted the jogger before jumping back into his car and speeding away.

"I just knew that I needed to do whatever I needed to do in order to be OK," the unidentified victim told Enterprise News of Brockton. "I knew I needed to defend myself and be smart. I knew I needed to do something."

She added, "I kept thinking 'what would Dad want me to do?'"

Bridgewater police say the jogger took a photo of his car after the terrifying altercation. Investigators matched the photo to the suspect’s license plate after he crashed his car about seven miles away from the scene.

On Wednesday, Bridgewater police revealed Lyons was convicted of rape in 1978. The details of the crime were not released.

Lyons pleaded not guilty and was ordered held without bail.

Out Of Line: Fox Host Tucker Carlson Says Michael Vick "Should Have Been Executed" For Dog Fighting [Video]

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on December 29, 2010 at 8:54pm

Video After The Jump

President Obama recently called Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie to congratulate him on the teams success this year, and for giving Michael Vick a second chance.

The call was enough to once again rile up those who feel like Vick hasn’t suffered enough for his role in a dog fighting ring. Never mind the fact that Vick served 19 months in prison, became a national disgrace and lost millions of dollars for his transgression.

Some people want the man to pay with his life, Tucker Carlson is one of those people.

Carlson is guest hosting Fox News’ ‘Hannity’ show this week. During a discussion about Obama’s call to Lurie, Carlson criticized the President for supporting Vick getting a second chance and said the football player should have been put to death for his crime.

"I'm a Christian, I've made mistakes myself, I believe fervently in second chances, but Michael Vick killed dogs, and he did [it] in a heartless and cruel way," Carlson said. "And I think personally he should have been executed for that. He wasn't. But the idea that the President of the United States would be getting behind someone who murdered dogs [is] kind of beyond the pale."

What's your take on Carlson's comments? Do you think Fox should fire him? Or was what he said ok in your opinion?

Shocking : Bull Leaps Into Stands In Spain & Goes On Rampage. Injuring 40 People Including 10 Year Old Boy [Video]

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on August 19, 2010 at 6:46am

Video After The Jump Spectators ran for their lives when a bull jumped into the stands at a bullring in Navarre on Wednesday, injuring at least 30 people, according to Spanish media. The terrifying incident happened in Tafalla, in the northern region of Navarra, and occurred when the animal leapt over the fence and climbed up the stairs of the stands knocking over people, including young children. A 10-year-old boy was in a serious condition with stomach wounds while another spectator was gored in the back according to Spanish media. Most of the injuries were minor and were treated by medical staff on site but five were transported to hospital for further attention. The incident occurred during a contest of recortadores when brave participants attempt to dodge the bull as it runs frantically around the arena. Spectators and officials later tied a rope around the bull to get it under control. Spanish media reported that the animal was removed from the arena by a crane and later killed. It is extremely rare for a bull to jump over a security barrier and into the crowd. The incident comes at a time when the country is split over whether bullfighting should be completely outlawed. Last month Catalonia became the first major Spanish region to ban the deadly sport after heated debate that pitted animal rights against a pillar of traditional culture. The ban will take effect from 2010 in the northeastern coastal region whose capital is Barcelona.

Former Boxing Champ, James Toney Joins The UFC

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on March 4, 2010 at 9:47pm

LAS VEGAS - Boxer James Toney is taking a crack at mixed martial arts, signing a multifight deal with UFC.

The 41-year-old Toney is a former super middleweight and cruiserweight champion who fought Roy Jones Jr., Evander Holyfield, John Ruiz and Hasim Rahman. But he hasn't had a significant title shot since March 2006, and he also tested positive for steroids twice.

UFC president Dana White believes Toney has the proper attitude to succeed in a crossover to MMA.

Toney isn't the first athlete to try the move. Herschel Walker won his MMA debut for Strikeforce on Jan. 30, and former boxer Ricardo Mayorga will make his MMA debut May 15 for a small Florida-based promotion.

The UFC hasn't determined the date or opponent for Toney's MMA debut.

Women's Boxing Expected To Debut At 2012 Olympics

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on August 10, 2009 at 9:33pm

Times Online Reports Eleven years after the British boxing authorities lost the argument against licensing women because they “bruised easily” and were made “unstable” by premenstrual tension, the fairer sex is on the brink of another victory in the equality fight. Olympic chiefs meeting in Berlin on Thursday are expected to admit women’s boxing to the summer Games with a debut at London 2012. It would be a landmark moment not only for the International Olympic Committee (IOC), a male-dominated members’ club renowned for oldfashioned attitudes, but for the development of an increasingly popular sport among women and girls not naturally drawn to organised physical activity. Advocates say that inclusion in the Olympics, where boxing is an amateur sport, is long overdue. It is the sole male-only summer discipline, after the pole vault and 3,000-metre steeplechase featured women at the 2000 and 2008 Games respectively. Rebecca Gibson, the England women’s boxing development manager, said: “Women should be allowed to have a go at whatever they want. Being an Olympic sport would give women the same aspiration as men.” The case for women’s boxing is driven by the sport’s international federation as well as Jacques Rogge, the IOC president and a former boxing doctor. A previous effort in 2005 failed after the IOC feared a lack of qualified talent would result in dangerous mismatches. Since then, the number of countries with women at the elite level has risen to 125. In England the number of registered female boxers has jumped from 50 in 2005 to 642. There are about 670 in Britain. Among them is Hannah Behanny, 22, from London, a double European bronze medallist and 2012 hopeful. She started boxercise aged 17 after being sent to a reform centre for violent behaviour. In a storyline to mirror the film Million Dollar Baby, she finally convinced a sceptical local coach to drop his male-only policy to train her. “The guys in my gym treat me as an equal but there are still some people stuck in the old school who think it shouldn’t happen,” she said. “It’s ignorance. It’s the men that get bashed up and bloodied. Women’s boxing is more strategic. I’ve never seen a girl get knocked out.” The Olympics would bring profile and funding to women’s boxing, which is high on the national fitness agenda. The Government is backing a return of non-contact boxing training to schools. Women’s boxing first appeared in London in the 1720s and was a demonstration sport at the 1904 Olympics before being banned.The professional ranks in the UK admitted women in 1998 after losing a sex discrimination case brought by Jane Couch, who argued it was no more dangerous for women than men despite a medical expert for the British Boxing Board of Control claiming that they were “too frail”. Ms Couch retired last December, aged 40, with five world titles and is now a promoter. The British Medical Association still campaigns for a ban on all boxing, male or female, on the ground that it can cause chronic brain damage, which accumulates over a career. All amateur boxers, male or female, have to wear head and groin guards. Women have the option of wearing breast pads. Gerry Willmott, a policeman who coaches women in Haringey, said: “Most people who see women’s boxing for the first time are surprised by the technical quality. “Women don’t have preconceived ideas, so are more prepared to learn the basics. They don’t get in the ring thinking they are Ali or Mayweather.” The admission of women’s boxing to the Olympics would give heart to the female ski jumpers still barred from the winter Games. It might also encourage male synchronised swimmers, who were approved by world swimming’s governing body in 2000 but have yet to compete in an Olympics, to eschew stereotypes to make 2012 the first truly gender-neutral Games.

Pink to Michael Vick -- "I Hope The Fans Tear You Apart!"

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on August 15, 2009 at 12:48pm

KansasCity.Com Reports Oh no he didn't just sign on to play football in MY hometown! Pink is steamin' mad that the Philadelphia Eagles have signed Michael Vick to play for them. So (of course) she's using Twitter to unleash. "wow. michael vick in MY hometown, Philly. of all the places. I hope the fans tear him to pieces like his beloved dogs." Pink's not the only one doggone ticked off about this, but we don't know if she plans to join any of the protests already being planned. Here's what PETA says: "PETA and millions of decent football fans around the world are disappointed that the Philadelphia Eagles have chosen to sign a man who hanged dogs from trees, electrocuted them with jumper cables, held them underwater until they drowned in his swimming pool, and even threw his own family dogs into the fighting pit to be torn to shreds while he laughed.” And Phil Sheridan, sports columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer: "As much as Vick has the right to get on with his life, the rest of us have the right to remind him of what he did.” What do you think?

Dog fighting: Is This A Sport Or Animal Cruelty ?

Documentary:Dogfighting,Sport Or Animal Cruelty? from ChasinDatPaper on Vimeo.

As most of you probably know by now,NFL star Michael Vick was sent to prison for fighting dogs. It seems odd to me that in a country where it is legal to hunt deer,geese and other animals for sport that dog fighting would be illegal. I'd like to hear you opinions.
