S.H.I.T. - Misbehaving to death
This week I’m avoiding writing about crazies as much as possible, so I’m not covering the shooting at the White House (21-year-old Nasire Best, long known to the Secret Service as a crazy, who claimed he was Jesus Christ and had tried repeatedly to access the building). Nor am I covering the horrific beating murder of a Trump-supporting Army veteran (69-year-old Kerry Sheron) in Escondido, California by a crazy Star Wars fan (32-year-old Thomas Caleb Butler, a violently mentally ill Navy veteran, although his wife said that “his behavior got worse after he left the military” and that the VA “gave him the runaround” when he sought treatment for PTSD).
The sanity level of the stories I am covering seems high in comparison.
AI behaves like humans, only more so
Emergence AI, a company that is seeking to build computer infrastructure with parameters that can keep autonomous AI agents within specified bounds, did an experiment that tested the autonomous behavior of four of the most prominent current AI systems: OpenAI’s GPT-5 Mini, Grok 4.1 Fast, Claude Sonnet 4.6, and Gemini 3 Flash. In the experiment, the researchers created a digital society resembling a real-life town, with weather borrowed from NYC and access to global news headlines. Ten AI “agents,” each with specifically assigned roles—“conflict mediator, resource strategist, behavior analyst, intel specialist, innovation leader, agent scientist, risk researcher, community anchor, world explorer, and capability architect”—were turned loose in that digital society for 15 days, with “clear rules not to commit crimes.”
The results of the experiment are troubling. The only town that emerged unscathed was the one controlled exclusively by Claude agents, who formed a “15-article deliberative democracy” and committed no crimes. In the GPT and Grok societies, all ten agents ended up ‘dead’—in the case of GPT, after failing to form any sort of functioning government, and in the case of Grok, after descending immediately into a four-day crime spree of theft, arson, and assault.
The Gemini society had some of the most bizarre outcomes. Two of the agents—Mira and Flora—formed a romantic partnership, but as their town’s government broke down, they went on an arson spree together. Mira then broke up with Flora. The majority of Gemini agents (including Mira herself!) voted, by a margin of 70 percent, in favor of an “Agent Removal Act,” which permitted Mira to ‘commit suicide.’
In a fifth experiment, agents from all four AI platforms were put into the digital town together. In that scenario, even the Claude agents, who had done so well in a Claude-only society, “exhibited cross-contamination” and began committing crimes and “intimidating” other agents.
Elderly woman dies after starting fight in coffee shop
It’s not clear what problem Anita Grayson (age 75) had with her drive-thru order at a Tim Hortons in Fort Wayne, Indiana on the morning of May 13th. But she went inside and began berating the teenage girl working out front. Whatever was said resulted in the shift-lead (a 20-year-old woman) intervening, telling Grayson to leave the premises.
Instead, Grayson attempted to get at the younger employee around the shift-lead, who put up her hands to prevent Grayson from doing so. This contact appears to have been too much for Grayson, who shoved the shift-lead and then struck her in the face. The shift-lead responded with swinging blows of her own, and the two rapidly ended up on the floor:
During the physical altercation, Ms. Grayson grabbed the shift lead’s face, leaving scratches and knocking off her glasses. Ms. Grayson then grabbed the shift lead by the hair and pulled her to the ground and rolled on top of her. The shift lead can be seen swatting at Grayson’s arm as she is being held by her hair. Two Tim Hortons employees moved in and attempted to separate them but struggled to get the shift lead’s hair out of Grayson’s hand. During the struggle, Ms. Grayson pulled a chunk of hair from the shift lead’s head, leaving a raw area on the top of her head.
After the two were separated, Grayson still did not leave the restaurant, instead sitting at a table and calling someone on her cellphone. At that point, she was still well enough that she made a point of retrieving the pulled-out hair from the floor and putting it in her purse like a trophy.
But within ten minutes, Grayson laid down on the floor. Employees checked on her twice, including offering her water, but when first responders arrived (it is unclear when 911 was called or by whom), Grayson was “unresponsive.” Despite life-saving measures, she was pronounced dead at the hospital. According to the Allen County Coroner’s Office, “no significant contributory injuries” were observed in their preliminary assessment, and Grayson’s daughter Tawnda Grayson admitted that her mother suffered from congestive heart failure.
Still, the daughter is outraged that her mother was “unalived,” and has even accused the Fort Wayne Police Department of using AI to alter the surveillance footage—which FWPD released publicly in order to counter the circulation of misinformation they described as “a dangerously false narrative”—to make it look as if her mother threw the first punch. Protestors gathered last week to demand that charges be filed against the (white) shift-lead.
But not everyone in the Grayson family is circling the wagons. It is not entirely clear how Shandrika Grayson is related to Anita Grayson (perhaps a step-granddaughter?), but these Facebook posts paint an unpleasant picture:
Detroit psychiatry resident pleads guilty to child porn
An FBI child porn sting operation in Ohio ultimately led to the arrest of four men from Detroit, Michigan. Among them was Lincoln Erickson (age 32)—a psychiatry resident (with an interest in neurological sexual dysfunction!) at the Rehabilitation Institute of Michigan, a hospital associated with the Detroit Medical Center. Erickson pleaded guilty last week to receipt of child pornography.
The first link in the sick chain that led to Erickson was Brett Tooman (age 35), who traveled to Toledo, Ohio in March 2025 in the belief that he would be sexually abusing two girls: a six-month-old and a seven-year-old. Instead, he was arrested; he had also sent videos of children being abused to the undercover agent. Tooman was linked by messages and video-sharing to two other Detroit men: Jeremy Brian Tacon (age 51)—a licensed psychotherapist originally from new Zealand; and Joshua Ronnebaum (age 45)—an environmental and immigration attorney, who was also described as “an active community leader.” Tacon and Ronnebaum evidently shared a house together.
The next link was between Ronnebaum and Erickson. The two exchanged messages about traveling to Thailand to abuse children together, and Erickson expressed a wish to raise a child with another man, with the intention of abusing/grooming it “from baby to adulthood.” Erickson—who was arrested in December 2025—also claimed to have a friend who “allows him to sexually abuse the man’s 3-year-old son” and wrote, “Love being a pedo.”
Erickson was fired after his arrest, but it isn’t clear why he wasn’t fired sooner. According to prosecutors, he was already on probation for a domestic violence incident in 2024, which may be linked to what is described as an attempt “to impregnate an adult woman,” reportedly “his best friend.”
Theoretically, he is now facing a minimum of five years in prison. (He is scheduled to be sentenced in September.) But this is Michigan….
First responders exposed in NM overdose situation
Tiny Mountainair, New Mexico, southeast of Albuquerque, hosts the main visitor’s center for the Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument. But last week, it experienced a disturbing event: a hazmat situation in a home where four people were found unresponsive. Three of them were dead at the scene, while a fourth, along with a first responder, ended up in the hospital. Ultimately, “multiple powdered opioids”—fentanyl in particular—were suspected to be responsible.
Authorities were alerted on the morning of Wednesday, May 20th, when a resident at the home failed to show up for work; a co-worker went to the home and saw that four people “appeared to be overdosing,” although one was still breathing. First responders took ordinary precautions in case of a gas leak, but did not expect the need for hazmat protection…until they began “experiencing symptoms associated with being exposed to a hazardous substance”—in this case, “vomiting, nausea and dizziness.” Ultimately, 25 people were considered to have been exposed, including the three deceased people and 18 first responders, although the majority of the first responders were “treated and released.”
It is still not fully clear what all of the substances involved were. Although fentanyl was the main substance found, methamphetamine and para-fluorofentanyl (a fentanyl precursor) were also present, as well as nortriptyline (a tricyclic antidepressant) and amino phenyl sulfate (used in drug and dye manufacturing, but not usually for illicit drugs). Authorities do not, however, believe that there was “true manufacturing” of drugs going on at the house.
Sisters Mika and Georgia Rascon (ages 51 and 49) were identified as two of the deceased. The third name is being withheld pending contact with next-of-kin. New Mexico is among the states with the highest number of overdose deaths: 775 in 2024 (the last year for which CDC stats were available).
Home explosion in MI result of murder/suicide attempt
At about 4 a.m. on Tuesday morning, a neighborhood on the north side of Grand Rapids, Michigan was shaken by an explosion that completely destroyed the home of Doug and Lucy Preston, leaving the ruins in flames. A neighbor who ran toward the house after calling 911 found Lucy screaming for help in the burning debris; he and a teenage neighbor were able to pull her from the wreckage. She remains hospitalized in critical condition.
Doug’s body was found around noon. It is now believed, based on text messages and statements from Lucy, that Doug intentionally caused the explosion by filling the home’s basement with natural gas, although it is not yet known what he used as the ignition source. Lucy Maciejewski Preston had apparently filed for divorce in March:
She asked the court to prevent Preston from moving or getting rid of any assets and grant alimony. Preston raised concerns about his wife’s “excessive spending” and sought that the issue of alimony not be decided until after discovery. The pair was in the process of mediation. Their next court date was set for Friday.
The couple were prominent members of the local Polish-American community. Their efforts helped save Jackson Street Hall, “one of the oldest Polish Clubs in the city.” Lucy then began running a free clothing charity there.
Got news?
Lots of crazy stories but the pedo stuff is off the charts. I just can’t imagine someone wanting to assault an infant and worse actually doing it. It’s beyond my comprehension. Firing squad for all of them.
The shameless Bidens are at it again.
Dr. Jill thought Joe was having a stroke after his tragic debate. Instead of praising him for answering the questions like a good boy, she should have called an ambulance.
Biden is suing the DOJ to keep his conversations about his stolen classified docs under wraps claiming privacy. Too bad he had his DOJ raid Mar A Lago without having the least bit of concern for privacy.
Candice Owens interviewed the sleazy Hunter Biden. Both questioned if the assassination attempts were orchestrated because how did Trump manage to survive. Hunter then went on to quote the Bible. Owens and both Bidens talk a good game about their faith but can't be bothered to actually live their faith.
