He isn't the best student

ST. PAUL, Minn. - Authorities in Minnesota accuse a man en route to anger management class of striking a woman after becoming, well, angry.

Justin John Boudin pleaded guilty Friday to fifth-degree assault in Ramsey County District Court.

The county attorney's office says the 27-year-old can expect to face a sentence for time served in jail, at least 120 days, and probation when he is sentenced May 5.

According to a criminal complaint, Boudin was waiting at a bus stop on Aug. 29 when he accosted a 59-year-old woman and others.

The complaint alleges that when she took out a cell phone to call police, she was hit in the face, and a 63-year-old man who tried to stop the assailant was then hit with a blue folder - which fell on the ground.

Police tracked the man down through the folder, which included Boudin's name and anger management homework.

Laughing at other people's mental business because your own doesn't seem so bad these days?

Works for me, as well as makes the world go round. But I'm thinking you aren't replying to my post.

Surely you see the humour in this?

How about this one?

PORT HOPE -- A Cobourg man who police say was late for court yesterday didn't help matters when he drove off a bridge and plunged onto the frozen Ganaraska River.

Now he has a new charge to face -- careless driving.

Port Hope Police said the man, in his 30s, was on his way to Port Hope criminal court on an undisclosed matter when he lost control of his car around 10:30 a.m.

The Toyota Corolla struck an island supporting one of the columns for the railway viaduct and mounted a curb before plunging three metres onto the ice-covered Ganaraska River.

"Apparently his speed was too fast for the road conditions and he lost control," said Const. Bob Pitcher.

The driver allegedly told police he was late for court in Port Hope.

He was treated for minor injuries at the scene, but refused to be taken to hospital.

After a brief period with officers, the man walked to the court building -- which was less than a block from where his car went into the river.

Pedestrians stopped to take pictures of the event in downtown Port Hope.

Brennan Vanderwater has been charged with careless driving.

"Brennan Vanderwater"

I suggest a change to "Underwater"

I see what some people may consider a good basis for a laugh - especially when it makes them feel better about their miserable selves.

[Provost Harrison]

I see the humour bypass was a complete success then

I think he's just a sore loser since he didn't win in Stackenblacken recently...
