If you love marijuana, you generally feel quite strongly about the apparatus with which you smoke it. For one man, that might have been a little too much.
Brandon Chviek, 20, was arrested for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend after she broke his beloved bong. He has been charged with domestic battery and strangulation, aggravated assault and possession of drug paraphernalia.
After Chviek's live-in girlfriend shattered the bong, Chviek allegedly pointed a gun at her before hitting her until she fell to the ground and then choking her, according to the Miami New Times. At the time, she was convinced Chviek would kill her, she later told police.
The girlfriend managed to escape and appeared at the sheriff's office with a bruise on her cheek and several scratches, said Gainesville Police Department spokesman Officer Ben Tobias, according to the Gainesville Sun.
Chviek later told police that he had acted out of self-defense after his girlfriend tried to trap him in their apartment and that he does not own a gun, reported the Sun.
He is currently in Alachua County Jail on $27,000 bond.
In other tales of men loving their bongs a tad too much, a Nebraska man was arrested for smoking marijuana out of a bong with his cat stuffed inside. The man accounted for his actions by explaining that his cat had been very hyper and he was trying to calm her down.

A Kentucky girl who was sexually assaulted now faces jail time for talking about it publicly.
Savannah Dietrich, 17, could be locked up on contempt-of-court charges for tweeting the names of her attackers after they allegedly got a sweetheart plea bargain, according to a published report.
Dietrich, who was molested while passed out at a party by the sick creeps, told the Louisville Courier-Journal newspaper that she was outraged because the boys were given a deal that she thinks is very, very light.
The judge in the case had further protected the sex fiends by placing a gag order that barred Dietrich from talking about what happened to her.
I was crying as she [the judge] was reading that, Dietrich said. They got off very easy . . . and they tell me to be quiet, just silencing me at the end.
But she tweeted her attackers' names anyway, and now faces time behind bars for violating the order.
There you go, lock me up, tweeted Dietrich, who agreed that her name be made public although she is a sex-crime victim. Im not protecting anyone that made my life a living Hell.
It's KY that explains it. Only about 40 years behind.

My friend was raped when she was 12 years old in Alabama. They stripped her, gang raped her, beat her, and rolled her out of their pickup truck and left her for dead in a county ditch. She crawled out of the ditch and onto the highway and blacked out. Luckily, noone ran her over. She spent a couple of weeks in the hospital. No one went to jail and the police knew who did it, too. Fort Payne, AL. As backwoods as they come.
Edit: This incident is probably the reason she is one of the best nurses I have ever seen.

Fourteen people have died and nine were injured after a pick-up truck filled with illegal immigrants crashed in Texas, said the authorities.
The vehicle was about 150 miles (241km) north-east of the US border when it careened off the highway and struck two trees on Sunday.
Immigration officials said that among the dead were citizens of Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras.
At least 23 people had been crammed inside the cab and bed.
"This is the most people I've seen in any passenger vehicle, and I've been an officer for 38 years," said Texas public safety department spokesman Gerald Bryant.
He told the Associated Press that several survivors with life-threatening injuries had been brought to nearby hospitals.
The driver was one of 11 who died at the scene.
US immigration officials were investigating whether it was a case of human-trafficking.
In April, nine Mexican immigrants died near the border after the driver of a minivan crashed while fleeing officials. That van had 18 people inside.
Edit: Body count now 14.

WESTERLY, R.I. (AP) - A pilot was rescued off Rhode Island's Block Island after being forced to ditch a small plane that was towing a banner with a marriage proposal, and his 8-year-old son helped rescuers track his location.
The Coast Guard says the pilot was found at about 4 p.m. Monday by a good Samaritan about 3 miles south of Ninigret Pond.
Boats had been searching the area after the man radioed his son just after 3 p.m. saying he was going down.
U.S. Coast Guard Search and Rescue Controller John Harland told The Westerly Sun the boy helped them pinpoint his father's location.
Authorities say the pilot was not seriously injured.
The Day of New London reports the plane was owned by Simmons Aviation, which has a division called Banner Tow-USA.

[h=1]Navy: Submarine fire set intentionally so worker could leave early[/h]
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) - Navy investigators have determined that a civilian laborer set a fire that caused $400 million in damage to a nuclear-powered submarine because he had anxiety and wanted to get out of work early.
Casey James Fury of Portsmouth, N.H., faces up to life in prison if convicted of two counts of arson in the fire aboard the USS Miami attack submarine while it was in dry dock May 23 and a second blaze outside the sub on June 16.
The 24-year-old Casey was taking medications for anxiety and depression and told investigators he set the fires so he could get out of work, according a seven-page affidavit filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Portland.
Fury made his first court appearance Monday afternoon but did not enter a plea.
Magistrate Judge John Rich III scheduled a combined detention and probable cause hearing for next month. The U.S. attorney's office has filed a motion asking that Fury be held without bail.
Fury's federal public defender, David Beneman, did not speak in court and earlier in the day declined to comment to The Associated Press.
People who appeared to be family members attended the hearing but also declined to comment.
The Miami was in dry dock at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine, for an overhaul when the fire damaged the torpedo room and command area inside the forward compartment. It took more than 12 hours to extinguish.
A second fire was reported June 16 on the dry dock cradle on which the Miami rests, but there was no damage and no injuries.
Fury, who was working on the sub as a painter and sandblaster, initially denied starting the fires but eventually acknowledged his involvement, the affidavit states.
He admitted setting the May 23 fire, which caused an estimated $400 million in damage, while taking a lie-detector test and being told by the examiner he wasn't being truthful.
Fury told Timothy Bailey, an agent for the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, that "his anxiety started getting really bad," so he grabbed his cigarettes and a lighter, walked up to a bunk room and set fire to some rags on the top bunk.
The Navy originally said the fire started when an industrial vacuum cleaner sucked up a heat source that ignited debris inside.
Fury said he set the second fire after getting anxious over a text-message exchange with an ex-girlfriend about a man she had started seeing, according to the affidavit. He wanted to leave work early, so he took some alcohol wipes and set them on fire outside the submarine.
Fury said he initially lied about setting the fires "because he was scared and because everything was blurry to him and his memory was impacted due to his anxiety and the medication he was taking at the time," according to the affidavit.
Fury told NCIS agent Jeremy Gauthier that he was taking three medications for anxiety, depression and sleep, and a fourth for allergies. He checked himself into an in-patient mental health facility on June 21 and checked himself out two days later, the affidavit reads.
If convicted of either charge, Fury could face life imprisonment and a fine of up to $250,000 and be ordered to pay restitution, officials said.

[h=1]Man takes on mouse with a gun: Mouse wins[/h]
In the eternal battle between man and mouse, one Ontario rodent has emerged victorious.
As QMI Agency reports, 40-year-old Dale Whitmell of Goulais River landed in the hospital after he lunged for a set of whiskers and shot himself in the forehead instead.
Whitmell was at a camp near Wawa, Ont., last Wednesday when he set his sights on the eradication of one particular furry critter.
As he swooped down to kill the mouse with the butt of a rifle, the weapon accidentally discharged.
By some mercy of the rodent gods, the bullet only grazed Whitmell's forehead. He was treated at a local hospital and later released.
In fairness to Whitmell, the article states he was unaware the rifle had been loaded.
That detail will likely come into play on Sept. 17, when Whitmell is schedule to appear in court on careless use of a firearm charges.
In the meantime, he joins a long list of individuals who have taken on animals and lost.
Back in 2009, staff at the Santa Monica Pier Aquarium rushed to stanch a 200-gallon saltwater flood after a resident octopus managed to open a water valve in her tank.
And who can forget the incredible sight of an orangutan putting a sumo wrestler to shame during a round of tug of war?
Proof that unless you're fully prepared, it's best to leave all man versus beast attempt to Bear Grylls.

[h=2]Does MS Patient Deserve Jail For Growing Pot?[/h]
When it came time to honor Whitney Houston, a noted drug addict who admitted to using cocaine and marijuana, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie defended his decision to fly the flags at half-staff following her death.

 Too bad John Ray Wilson, a Somerset County man who suffers from multiple sclerosis, isnt a better singer.
If he were, maybe he wouldnt be in prison right now.
Wilson was arrested when a National Guard helicopter on a training mission skimmed over the suburban houses of Franklin Township and spotted 17 cannabis plants outside his house.
Rob Tornoe / Newsworks.org (click to view more cartoons by Tornoe)
Wilson has suffered with multiple sclerosis for over a decade. Unable to afford health insurance to cover expensive painkillers, he grew his own pot to ease the chronic pain of his condition.
Nevertheless, the New Jersey criminal justice system went after Wilson as if he were Tony Montana from Scarface. He was convicted and an appeals court upheld Wilsons conviction. The state Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal of that ruling, and as a result, Wilson began serving a five-year prison term in January.
Oh, and just to add salt to the wound, during a pre-trial hearing, Superior Court Judge Robert Reed told Wilson he wasnt allowed to let the jury know that he has MS, or that his use of marijuana was an attempt to treat his disease.
Nice to see the system working to protect the sick and unfortunate.
I bet youre scratching your head, asking yourself, Didnt New Jersey legalize the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes?
Yes, they did. The Compassionate Care Act allows marijuana to be prescribed to relieve pain from cancer and other debilitating illnesses such as MS.
The problem is the law isnt fully implemented, and as a result, there is no state-legal marijuana available. So needy patients are still forced to seek remedies through drug dealers or by growing plants in secret at their home.
Despite all of this, Christie could grant Wilson clemency and remove the prison term if he wanted to act like a compassionate conservative.
But he wont.
And why wont he? During his monthly call-in show on NJ 101.5, Christie said he doesnt believe Wilson grew the pot for medical reasons, despite written pleas from Wilsons own doctor, the governor, who must have earned a MD without anyone in the media knowing, went on to question if Wilson has MS in the first place, telling listeners, his diagnosis has been brought into question as to whether he really has MS or not.
Who has brought it into question exactly? Certainly not his physician, Dr. Jeffrey Pollack, who said after reviewing multiple MRI reports and neurologic consults that Wilson with a reasonable degree of medical certainty has multiple sclerosis. Even the states Senate Judiciary Committee voted in favor of granting clemency to Wilson and commuting his sentence.
What puts this story over the top on the aggravation scale is the fact the Governor wants to expand a program that would help send nonviolent drug offenders to treatments rather than prison. Christie said his feelings on this issue come from the heart. I hold off pondering where his hypocrisy originates.
So, Wilson is basically left to rot in prison for simply providing himself, with no harm to others, an effective and scientifically proven remedy to a debilitating illness, a remedy that is technically legal in New Jersey (as long as you want to spend big bucks to line the pockets of pharmaceutical companies).
Maybe someone should tell Governor Christie that even Pat Robertson came out in support of legalizing marijuana. I know, I know Christie is a conservative tough guy who wants to be hard on crime, and he cant have those dirty hippies smoking their weed. 

I just think in this case, hes the one whos a bit high.

The phrase "inflated body count' took on new meaning for 18 cops in China's Shandong Province who worked together to save a sex doll they thought was a drowning woman.
The incident happened July 11 when officers responded to a report that there was a lady in distress in one of the province's rivers. The crew worked frantically for nearly an hour to rescue the woman, according to Digital Journal, and in the process, attracted a crowd of about 1,000 curious, excited and anxious spectators to the scene.
It took more than 40 minutes before the officers were able to recover the pleasure toy.
After confirming that they had indeed run around in a panic for nearly an hour over trying to rescue someone’s blow-up girlfriend, the police presented it to the anxious crowd, who quickly covered their children’s eyes and walked away, according to RocketNews24.com
No word on how the sex doll got in the river in the first place, but the Times of India reports that Shandong is an important center for producing sex toys in China and supplies them across the globe.
