Jackassapalooza

This was an epic win for jackasses all around the country.


One jackass poisons bees:


A police investigation is underway in Xiazhuang Village of Pingshan County in China for the fatal poisoning of 15 million bees.
Beekeeper Yang Jinfang believes rival keepers are to blame for the incident, which occurred when Yang and his partners transported 600 hives from their farms in southern China to feed on blossoms that flowered later in the season, as they've done for several generations.
Another jackass is fired for calling his students morons and being as inappropriate as any one man could be:


The board voted unanimously, 5-0, to accept the recommendation of an Ohio Department of Education referee who held 13 days of hearings on the issue between December and May.
That recommendation was received by the board and Togliatti’s lawyer Monday. The grounds for termination cited were “unprofessional and disrespectful conduct toward students ” and “highly inappropriate conduct towards administrators and other teachers.”

The next jackass killed himself at trial rather than pay for his crimes:


Authorities had suspected that arson defendant Michael Marin committed suicide by ingesting poison after he collapsed in court June 28, moments after a jury found him guilty of burning down his Biltmore Estates mansion in 2009. That theory was bolstered this week when Maricopa County investigators discovered a canister of cyanide in Marin's car.
Television video from Marin's court hearing appeared to show him put something in his mouth immediately after the verdict was read. Seven minutes later, he went into convulsions and fell to the floor. Paramedics were unable to revive him.


We covered that when it first happened, but finding a neatly labeled bottle of poison is one heck of an indicator.  If toxicology reports throw any surprises I may update, but I'm going to call this case closed.


And last but certainly not least:

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Thirty-seven homes that were evacuated during Colorado's Waldo Canyon Fire were burglarized, and authorities are offering up to $50,000 for information on the culprits. 
Colorado Springs police spokeswoman Barbara Miller on Wednesday said 28 vehicles, many packed with evacuee's belongings, also were broken into after residents fled the fire reported June 23.An anonymous donor provided the reward money.
