Back in 2004 and 2005, I reported on Jason Belmer, a slightly dumb drug dealer. You can read about him (and other criminal relatives of his) here.
I thought the end of the Jason Belmer saga came with his 13-year prison sentence... but no. He did his time, got out... and went right back to working in the family business of cocaine-running/dealing. And being dumb.
I'm more than a year late with this update, but here it is:
Jason Belmer, 30, of Haverhill, Massachusetts pleaded guilty in federal court to possession with intent to distribute cocaine, United States Attorney Scott W. Murray announced today.
According to court documents and statements made in court, on August 31, 2017, the defendant was stopped by a member of the Salem Police Department after running a red light. The officer observed various signs that the defendant was driving while impaired. Another officer arrived on scene and observed drug paraphernalia in plain view in the front seat of the car. This observation prompted officers to ask the defendant for consent to search the car, at which time the defendant attempted to flee the traffic stop. A struggle ensued and the defendant fought with police. After the defendant was taken into custody, officers received a search warrant for the car and recovered approximately 1,191 grams of cocaine and approximately $59,775 dollars in cash.
Belmer is scheduled to be sentenced on January 16, 2019. The cash has been administratively forfeited to the United States.
Additional details of the arrest are that Belmer was ALSO charged with DUI, resisting arrest, and driving without a license.
The latest addition to the Jailbird Parade is Kenneth Sands, a driver for the Rainier School District (in Washington State). He has been convicted of molesting three high school volleyball players and two women during a volleyball game in Onalaska on Oct. 18.
Kenneth Sands: Victim of an evil, EVIL drug... or just a sack of lame excuses?
Why did he grope teenage girls and middle-aged women on that fateful day? Caffiene!
"That caused a psychotic episode," he told the court. "My son-in-law and daughter had never seen that kind of behavior from myself."
Now... I don't doubt for a moment that too much caffeine might cause symptoms that could mimic mental disorders. A few years back, I was drinking 10-12 cups of coffee a day. I went to the doctor complaining about certain symptoms... and she asked if there was a history of mental illness in my family.
When she started discussing my diet, she told me to cut back on the coffee and caffeine. WAAAY back.
I'm now down to about 5 cups a day. Still too much, but the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem right?
Well, Mr. Sands may have a problem that he's blaming on the wrong source. During all my years of excessive caffeine intake, I've never gone on a molestation spree.
Can we lay off the Twinkie Defense-style defenses already?
Abbey, a self-proclaimed skinhead who sports several neo-Nazi tatoos, got knocked out with one punch by the black man during the July 3 incident. Abbey later told officials that he felt he had been "hit by a brick." Abbey apparently was unaware of the writing on the back of the black man's T-shirt: "Spokane Boxing Club Champion."
Daren Abbey: It's okay to laugh at his misfortune.
I'm inferring from the linked article about Dirtbag Dimmick that he is representing himself in the breach-of-contract lawsuit against the people held hostage. If I'm right, then he has an idiot for a client. If I'm wrong, is there a way to petition to have his attorney disbarred?
Jesse "Dirtbag" Dimmick is also thinking about suing his dermatologist
According to Reuters Wire Service, Zachary "Abu Talhah" Chesser will be selling his body for cigarettes (or, more accurately, will have his body sold for cigarettes) for the next quarter century.
Note: The term "man" is used loosely, as it is in all cases where some brave Muslim proves his courage and devotion to Allah or the false idol of Mohammed by attacking and/or threatening artists and writers.
And speaking of which, here's a celebratory image of the Prophet Mohammed (may peas be upon him), together with something that Chesser won't be tapping for a long, long time. (Although he probably never did... why else would he have married someone so hideous she wears a sack over her head and body everywhere she goes?)
Zachary "Abu Talhah" Chesser, the dweeb who issued a death threat to the creators of "South Park" and who tried to use his infant son as a distraction so he could go sign up with a terrorist group in Somalia, will be kept in prison until his trial. As the judge said when ordering Chesser held: "It's all right if he wants to put his life in danger, but if he's not going to look out for his 7-month-old son, then this court is going to do so."
While the judge gets the nature of this beast, I'm not sure many members of the press do. I think the headline on this other article is a demonstration of that. I also predict that the angle that Chesser offered to "help the FBI" will return later, with much amplification and the loss of the detail that he wanted the government to send him to East Africa in exchange (so he could go join terrorists and murder Americans).
Maybe it's my own biases that are coloring the way I'm reading this "profile" article I've linked to below, but I find it interesting that it both opens and closes with paragraphs that carry the idea that he's just some poor kid who was led astray by mysterious, shadowy figures (or maybe mind-control rays from Mars) because no one seems to know anything about where he got his kooky ideas from.
I also find myself wondering... if all Chesser wanted was "to belong," then maybe someone needs to write an article about the problems with the Muslim student associations and mosques. On the one hand, there are quotes in the article about how excited they were that a "white guy" wanted to join up, but yet somehow they didn't make him feel welcome, or as if he was one of them.
Or maybe Chesser wasn't looking so much for a place to belong, but rather for an outlet for his psychopathy, something the peaceful American Muslim groups couldn't and wouldn't provide him with?
What Chesser found was this:
But this is what he was looking for:
And speaking of belonging... the RevolutionMuslim blog still hasn't commented on the arrest of their former star contributor. Consider that, would-be Lions of Islam: Your brothers-in-Jihad won't stand by you when the going gets tough.
Zachary Chesser, who prefers to be called Abu Talhah (or simply "daddy") when forcing sex on his ugly wife, is the creator of the group behind this blog. He is also under arrest, and he had a court appearance today relating to charges that he provided material support to Islamic terrorists.
Chesser requested that an attorney be appointed to him, and his detention hearing was continued until this coming Monday.
Federal public defender Michael Nachmanoff was appointed to represent Chesser, along with Brian Mizer, a former Navy officer who represented Osama bin Laden's one-time driver Salim Hamdan in a military trial at Guantanamo Bay in 2008.
It says a lot about Americans that we don't just shoot scum like this, but we actually will support legal counsel for them through out tax dollars. Chesser, after all, proudly posted videos of himself and his fellow terrorist wanna-bes advocating the violent overthrow of the United States government and the murder of US citizens.
Interestingly, as of this writing, there has yet to be any comment on the RevolutionMuslim blog about Chesser's arrest. Maybe his little playmates are too busy pissing themselves in fear over they too will get to know the gentle embrace of a jail-house rapist to comment? Or maybe they are showing the world that they value Chesser about as much has he should be valued?
You can read about little Zachy Chesser's court appearance, as well as about some FBI concerns about like-minded jackasses, here.
While I wish nothing but the worst upon Zachary Chesser, I still feel a small amount of gratitude toward him.
Without Zachary Chesser, there ever would have been an "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day." Molly Norris gets all the blame (and death threats from the zoophiles and pederasts of al-Qaeda), but it is actually Chesser who should be credited with the creation of what will (inshallah, bismallah, bim-salla-bim) become an ANNUAL event.
Without Zach Chesser issuing an insipid death threat at Matt Stone and Trey Parker it never would have occurred to anyone to even joke about plastering the web with images of the Prophet Mohammed (may peat be upon him). So, in a show of gratitude, I am reposting the cartoon that I created for that day.
If anyone reading this knows Zacky personally, I hope you'll print it out and send it to him. Maybe it will comfort him to know that someone out here appreciates his efforts. I may hate everything he believes in and stands for, I may wish him nothing but suffering and horrible infections in his brutalized anus (INSHALLAH!)... but I can still say "thank you" to him for the greatness of "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day."
ATTENTION LARGE JAIL-HOUSE RAPISTS--BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THIS MAN-CHILD: Terrorist wanna-be, and one of the prime instigators of "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day," Zachary Chesser (aka Abu Talhah Al-Amrikee), told an FBI agent all about how he wanted to run off to Africa and join up with REAL terrorists. And, brave Lion of Islam that he is, he was hoping to use his baby son to get easily through security. (I'm actually surprised that this loser ever got to first base with anything remotely female or human. Either the mother is so hideous that the world is blessed by the fact she hides behind a burka... or some other wanna-be terrorist knocked her up.)
I hope this piece offal gets sent to prison for a very, very long time. I hope he gets a roommate named Mo, who insists on being called Allah while givin' it to Zach, doggie-style.
Hey, wouldn't it be nice if, after being sent away, he is martyred while in prison? That would be a win-win for everyone!
As I continue gathering my reviews and commentaries onto the Blogger blogs that make up Cinema Steve, I occasionally come across "Golden Oldies," like the tale of Jason Belmer, a guy so bright he tried to escape police in a car that was up on blocks.
Suspect Tries to Flee in 'Lifted' Car
October 4, 2004 04:32 PM EDT
PITTSFIELD, Maine - A drug suspect who eluded capture in Maine and Colorado was captured Monday when he hopped into a car, cranked the engine and went nowhere because the wheels were lifted off the ground for repairs.
Jason Belmer, who is accused of burying cocaine in his grandmother's yard, was caught trying to steal the car, Police Chief Steven Emery said.
"He jumped into the car and started it up and tried to drive away. His big downfall was they had been working on it and it was on jacks," Emery said.
Belmer, 25, had been on the lam since running into the woods after 8 pounds of cocaine, with an estimated street value of $380,000, was seized Aug. 19 from his grandmother's property in Corinna.
A Colorado State Patrol trooper stopped a car in which Belmer was a passenger for speeding on Interstate 70 in eastern Colorado in early September. Belmer eluded capture by running into a cornfield. Authorities here were tipped that he had returned to Maine.
The Jason Belmer saga was one of the more popular ones in the "Jailbird Parade" section of a messageboard I ran for a few years. We even had his girlfriend enter herself into the Jailbird Pagent with a string of replies. You can read the original posts here, if you like.
The main (and Main, for that matter) update to the story was this, posted in January of 2005...
Jason Belmer gets 13-year sentence
BANGOR (AP) - A Corinna man has been handed a 13-year prison sentence under a plea agreement that followed his arrest in what police described as one of Maine's largest cocaine seizures.
The 25-year-old Jason Belmer was sentenced last month to 13 years in prison after waiving indictment and pleading guilty to aggravated trafficking in cocaine, criminal restraint, burglary to a motor vehicle and refusing to submit to arrest.
The woman with whom he fled the state was sentenced earlier to time served. Michelle Carmack, 27, of Corinna was sentenced on Nov. 8 to 45 days in jail on charges of conspiracy to traffic in cocaine and hindering apprehension.
Carmack and Belmer were stopped on Sept. 4 for speeding on Interstate 70 in Burlington, Colo., a few miles over the Kansas border. Carmack was arrested but Belmer disappeared by running into a cornfield.
Belmer could have received up to 30 years in prison for aggravated trafficking in cocaine if the case went to trial and he were found guilty.
Belmer's 64-year-old grandmother, who owns the property in Corinna where the cocaine was found, has also been charged in the case.
(Michelle Carmack violated the conditions of her parole and was tossed back in the clink during the winter of 2005. She served nine months.)
I wonder if he'll get to be a trustee working in the kitchen. Maybe he'll guide the Germans back to a path where they find... um... creative uses for prisoners. (Giving a creature like this anything less than life in prison indicates a society that has some serious sickness at its heart. Although I suppose there's comedy value that he was convicted of manslaughter, as that is literally what he did.)

German Cannibal Sentenced to Prison
KASSEL, Germany - A German who confessed to killing, dismembering and eating another man who allegedly agreed to the arrangement over the Internet was convicted Friday of manslaughter and sentenced to 8 1/2 years in prison.
A state court ruled that Armin Meiwes, a 42-year-old computer expert, had no "base motives" in the crime - sparing him a murder conviction.
Prosecutors had sought a life sentence, calling Meiwes a "human butcher" who acted simply to "satisfy a sexual impulse."
The defense argued that since the victim volunteered to be killed and eaten, the crime should be classified a mercy killing, which carries a five-year maximum penalty.
Before the verdict Meiwes looked calm, chatting with his attorney and occasionally grinning for cameras allowed inside the courtroom before the session began.
When his trial opened Dec. 3 in the central city of Kassel, Meiwes confessed in detail to killing Bernd Juergen Brandes, 43, in March 2001 at Meiwes' home in the town of Rotenburg.
Brandes traveled from Berlin in reply to an Internet advertisement seeking a young man for "slaughter and consumption." Meiwes testified that Brandes wanted to be stabbed to death after drinking a bottle of cold medicine to lose consciousness.
"Bernd came to me of his own free will to end his life," Meiwes said in his closing statement in court on Monday. "For him, it was a nice death."
Still, he said he regretted the killing.
"I had my big kick and I don't need to do it again," he said. "I regret it all very much, but I can't undo it."
A grisly video he made of the act was shown to the court during a closed session.
A doctor testified that Brandes died from loss of blood and that the medication, along with a half-bottle of liquor and 20 sleeping pills he took beforehand, could not have lessened his pain.
Several experts have testified that Meiwes was fit to stand trial and was not mentally ill.
Police tracked down and arrested him in December 2002 after a student in Austria alerted them to a message Meiwes had posted on the Internet.
"If I hadn't been so stupid as to keep looking on the Internet, I would have taken my secret to the grave," Meiwes said in his closing statement.
UPDATE: When moving this article to its new home here at Cinema Steve, I decided to see how life has been treating Mr. Meiwes. I discovered that since entering prison he has become a Vegetarian and has joined the Green Party (Jailbird Chapter)... and that he had NOT been released from prison as I had expected to find.
From Wikipedia....
In April 2005, a German court ordered a retrial after prosecutors appealed his sentence.
The prosecutors believed he should have been convicted of murder. Among the questions courts answered is whether Brandes agreed to his killing, and whether he was legally capable of doing so at the moment, taking into account his apparent mental problems as well as his significant intake of alcohol. Other aspects of the retrial determined whether Meiwes killed to satiate his own desires (in particular sexual desires), and not because he was asked to, which Meiwes has repeatedly rejected during testimony.
At his retrial a psychologist stated that Meiwes could reoffend and still "had fantasies about devouring the flesh of young people." On May 10, 2006, a court in Frankfurt convicted Meiwes of murder and sentenced him to life imprisonment.

Conman caught - on reality TV
A Russian fraudster has been jailed after one of his victims spotted him on a reality TV show.
Alexei Adeev, 26, was jailed for four and a half years after a woman he had cheated out of £1,100 in a property scam spotted him on the Russian reality show House-2: Build Your Love.
The woman, not named for privacy reasons, said Adeev, who in the past served a jail sentence for car theft and bribing an official, had fled with the money after she gave it to him as a deposit for a house in Smolensk.
Adeev's jail sentence comes just months after Russian MPs called for the reality show to be banned and its hosts put on trial for organised prostitution and pimping.
They said the show, which aims to pair off contestants by the end of the series, was doing serious damage to the morals of Russia's youth.
They said the show's rules encouraged participants to have sex live on air and pointed out that one of the show's participants, Yelena Berkova, had a past career as a porn star.
Cat owners: There's a right way and a wrong way to deal with your cat's litter box. Marie Adeline Calkins demonstrates here the WRONG way to do it.
Woman Sets Fire Because the Little Box was Full
October 15, 2004 02:56 PM EDT
PORT ANGELES, Wash. - Court documents filed in Clallam County Superior Court tie an alleged arson in an apartment complex to a smelly cat litter box.
Prosecutors on Wednesday charged Marie Adeline Calkins, 63, with first-degree arson, accusing her of setting a fire Tuesday in her apartment on South C Street. No one was injured.
She told officers she lit the fire because "she was depressed and upset that her kitty litter box was full and smelled," court papers said.
Judge George L. Wood set bail at $50,000 and ordered a mental health assessment.
Teresa Jones Smith, 44, of Lexington, N.C., was trying to break her boyfriend, Roger Johnson, out of jail so she toted a blow torch and other tools into the visiting room. Here she attempted to cut through the Plexiglas shield that separates prisoners from visitors, but attracted guards' attention from the noise and smoke.
... just remember that you could be working as the personal ass-wiper for Abu Hamza, evil scumbag (or, perhaps more accurately, shitbag) and Muslim "cleric" jailed in England for aiding and abbetting terrorists.
From Ananova.com...
July 2, 2004 If being a Wimbledon ball-boy is one of the cushiest jobs in the world, then this must be one of the worst -- Abu Hamza's bottom wiper.
The Muslim extremist -- dubbed Hook -- has no hands and is unable to look after his own personal hygiene in Belmarsh jail.
So, says the Mirror, he has got a £30,000-a-year nurse, called Harry, whose job it is to do it for him.
"He's known as Dirty Harry," a prison source says. "This guy has got one of the worst jobs in the world. His main reason for being there is to clean Hamza's backside.
"Everyone's having a laugh about it, but Hamza can't be left unclean. It would be a health hazard."
Hamza has had his two metal hooks removed and been given two special £5,000 replacements because it was feared he could use the originals as weapons.
But how bad is the food in Belmarsh prison that Hook requires a full-time bum wiper? And who is this mysterious Harry?
UPDATE (20100: Abu Hook remains in Belmarsh Prison while the United States tries to secure his extridition to be tried on crimes there.
For a full backstory and more updates on the leaking sack o' shit that is Abu Hamza, click here to visit the Wikipedia page about him.
