Pilots irritated enough to track down dude:
LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) - Troopers with the Nebraska State Patrol arrested a man for striking the NSP helicopter with a laser multiple times as it was in flight over the city of Lincoln. Pointing a laser at an aircraft is a federal offense and any laser strike constitutes an in-flight emergency.

At approximately 10 p.m. Friday, NSP pilots launched from the Lincoln Airport to assist the Lincoln Police Department with an operation. Shortly after launching, while flying west of downtown Lincoln, the pilots reported a laser strike on the helicopter. The pilots immediately reported the laser strike to Lincoln Air Traffic Control.

While searching for the origin location of the laser, the pilots reported additional laser strikes on the helicopter. The pilots were then able to identify the source of the laser, which was a subject walking on a path near Salt Creek, south of West O Street. The pilots directed troopers and LPD officers to the subject’s location.

Troopers located the suspect just south of West O Street on the Salt Creek Levee Trail. The suspect was found to be in possession of a laser pointer and was taken into custody without incident. After consultation with the Lancaster County Attorney’s Office, the subject, Lee Cimfel, 42, of Lincoln, was lodged in Lancaster County Jail for second degree assault. NSP has reported the laser strike to the Federal Aviation Administration.

We don't normally arrest for too many guns, but explosive devices will do the trick

What was going on? Was she fucking one of the men and found out he was bisexual?
"Police are currently interviewing witnesses to determine a motive. Chief Ewins said the situation is ‘more complex than one would think’."

so what? earlier to day, I was in the bus next to a lady who, though she looked young enough and had black roots, had the ends of her hair all frazzled and granny blue.

[Tero]

Never get in a relationship with pink hair ladies, though.

Mystery deepens. She killed two men that were (mostly) unknown to her other than being maintenance workers for the apartment building. They would not fix her apartment thermostat? Other trivial thing?
