Man mistakes straw bale for stricken woman, gives it CPR
The Island Packet
By Daniel Brownstein
Published Wednesday, June 27, 2007A Hilton Head Island man confused bales of pine straw with a dead woman, and tried to resuscitate them early Tuesday morning, according to a sheriff’s report.
The 39-year-old called deputies to the parking lot of Hilton Head Cabanas, 32 South Forest Beach Drive, at 1:49 a.m., saying he had just tried to perform CPR on a dead woman, according to the sheriff’s report.
They arrived to find him talking to a large bale of pine straw.
When asked where the woman was, he pointed to the straw, the report stated.
The man told deputies five people knocked on his door and wanted to party. A woman asked him to come outside, and told him there was a dead woman laying in the parking lot, the report stated.
Deputies think the man had been drinking. The report says he thought Tuesday was Halloween and he had two empty bottles of bourbon inside his home.
Maybe he could have instead rescued this poor bird?
Peacock Beaten in Bizarre, Deadly Attack
AP NEW YORK (AP) - July 1, 2007
A peacock that roamed into a fast-food restaurant parking lot was attacked by man who vilified the bird as a vampire, animal-control authorities said.
Beaten so fiercely that most of his tail feathers fell out, the bird was euthanized, said Richard Gentles, a spokesman for the city’s Center for Animal Care and Control.
“It’s just unbelievable that someone would do something to a poor, defenseless animal and do it in such a cruel fashion,” he said.
The peacock, a male several years old, wandered into a Staten Island Burger King parking lot and perched on a car hood Thursday morning. Charmed employees had been feeding him bread when the man appeared.
He seized the iridescent bird by the neck, hurled it to the ground and started kicking and stomping the creature, said worker Felicia Finnegan, 19.
“He was going crazy,” she said.
Asked what he was doing, she said, the attacker explained, “‘I’m killing a vampire!”‘
Employees called police, but the man ran when he saw them. Authorities were looking for the attacker, described as being in his teens or early 20s.
It was not clear how the bird made his way to the Burger King, but a Staten Island resident who raises peacocks said he had given some to a person who lives near the restaurant.

First story: I hope there was a bystander singing, “If I Only Had a Brain.”
Second story: Did he work for ABC or CBS?
(Also, I heard on the drive home that he’s been caught)
