Charged is Kurt Cass of Hammock Drive, Bradenton.
Investigators say Cass went into his 60-year-old grandmother’s bedroom Thursday and asked her for $100 for beer. When she refused, he allegedly placed a razor blade on her throat and demanded she take him to the bank to get the money, deputies said.
“When the victim arrived back home she locked all of the doors,” deputies reported. “The defendant arrived back home and kicked the front door in.
“Once inside the defendant grabbed a two foot 2×4 piece of wood and hit the victim numerous times on the back. The defendant then grabbed a three foot piece of 3 inch PVC pipe and hit the victim on her head, back, and legs numerous times. The defendant’s case worker arrived on scene and was able to hold him until law enforcement arrived.”
Deputies said Cass has made comments in the past to his grandmother that she should kill his entire family.
Cass was charged with domestic aggravated assault, two counts of domestic aggravated battery, attempted robbery, and kidnapping.
The grandmother has had legal guardianship of Cass and his little brother since 1994.
Authorities tell us today that Cass came from a troubled family. His mother is in prison on cocaine possession and sale charges, and his father is serving a 15-year prison sentence for manslaughter after choking a prostitute to death in 2002.
The below is a good reason to switch from Windows if you can. To Linux or MacOSX…
This is another reason too for Steve Jobs and Apple to finalize a version of MacOSX that runs on standard PCs. It is possible as I have seen it installed myself on various PCs. Check out this website for more information on MacOSX running on PCs. (Link)
Computer security experts were grappling with the threat of a newweakness in Microsoft?s Windows operating system that could put hundreds of millions of PCs at risk of infection by spyware or viruses.
The news marks the latest security setback for Microsoft, the world?s biggest software company, whose Windows operating system is a favourite target for hackers.
?The potential [security threat] is huge,? said Mikko Hypp?, chief research officer at F-Secure, an antivirus company. ?It?s probably bigger than for any other vulnerability we?ve seen. Any version of Windows is vulnerable right now.?
The flaw, which allows hackers to infect computers using programs maliciously inserted into seemingly innocuous image files, was first discovered last week. But the potential for damaging attacks increased dramatically at the weekend after a group of computer hackers published the source code they used to exploit it. Unlike most attacks, which require victims to download or execute a suspect file, the new vulnerability makes it possible for users to infect their computers with spyware or a virus simply by viewing a web page, e-mail or instant message that contains a contaminated image.
?We haven?t seen anything that bad yet, but multiple individuals and groups are exploiting this vulnerability,? Mr Hypp? said. He said that every Windows system shipped since 1990 contained the flaw.
