The Smoking Gun: In the Bronx? Apparently clothing-free? Injured? My guess is he was trying to do something he shouldn't with an animal at the zoo and got clobbered.

mobility scooter Can you say "deadman switch"?
dog walker Oh, yea, I want to own a home where I have to put up with a batch of anal assholes.
Homeless 101 It's good that our school systems are, finally, teaching something useful.
Redneck Yacht Club Anyone told Foxworthy about this place yet?
Va. Public School They'd do better teaching Homeless 101.
Mystry Mugshot You don't think this is one of the dudes that tried to break into the house using his head, do you?

Detroit police:
impromptu
adjective
1 : made, done, or formed on or as if on the spur of the moment : improvised
2 : composed or uttered without previous preparation : extemporaneous
So how can it be impromptu when it was planned for over a week? Someone needs to get a dictionary...

"Another of those mindless teenage sleep-outs that supposedly sensitize kids to the plight of the homeless." Does this mean that they go around and invite homeless teenagers to come and spend the night in the mayor's house, to sensitize them to the plight of the wealthy?
