SCREEEECH!! After failing to get drivers to slow down by screaming and waving his arms at them as they roared past a Florida elementary school, a crossing guard wrapped a hair dryer in black electrical tape and now waves it at them. It looks like a radar gun. 
They slow down.

THOSE REPUBLICANS ARE SO ROWDY: After a spirited meeting in a Nebraska sports bar, the Omaha Young Republicans got into a disagreement that they were resolving through a time-honored means: a fistfight. 
Police rushed to the scene to break it up, but left without arresting anybody after everyone refused to press charges.

LET THAT BE A LESSON: An 84-year-old man in Bari, Italy, told police that the cup of coffee his wife served him was so bad that he was absolutely disgusted. 
So he beat her to death with a hammer.

GET A GOOD LOOK, PUNK! Three teenage boys were peeking through the window of a newlywed couple in Bachok, Malaysia, for a thrill when the loving couple spotted them. The man threw a bottle of acid at them, hitting one of the lads and causing him to suffer burns on his body. 
The other two fled.

DON'T MESS WITH THE KING: A 53-year-old Elvis impersonator gave a supposedly free performance at a nursing home in Huron, Ohio, but afterward, he demanded to be paid. When an employee of the facility said the show was supposed to be gratis, the Elvis guy punched him in the jaw. 
He was arrested.
