IF YOU SEE THESE IDIOTS IN BURBANK, THROW GARBAGE AT THEM
How embarassing. On behalf of myself and the thousands of residents of Burbank California, I apologize for these cocksuckers.

Phony Red Cross workers use Katrina to solicit money in Burbank

Three people were arrested after posing as Red Cross workers collecting money for Hurricane Katrina victims.
As early as Monday they had set up a table with a donation collection box outside a Best Buy store and displayed fliers that read "Help Now. American Red Cross Relief For Hurricane Katrina," said police Detective Matt Ferguson.
Tino Lee, 44, of Burbank and Liz Nicholas, 22, of Glendale were arrested late Thursday on suspicion of fraud and conspiracy. Lee was held without bail and Nicholas was held in lieu of $100,000 bail, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's Web site.
The third suspect, a 14-year-old girl from Pico Rivera, received a citation to appear in Juvenile Court and was released to her parents. She was not identified because of her age.
The three were acquaintances and arrested wearing badges that read "Red Cross Volunteer," police said.
Police said the trio collected as much as $2,000 in cash, as well as a check for $200.
Federal law bars anyone from impersonating a Red Cross worker to solicit funds on behalf of the agency, said U.S. attorney spokesman Thom Mrozek.
"It's upsetting and it's disturbing at the same time," said Red Cross spokesman Nick Samaniego. "We can't have people out there slandering the work that we stand for."

Chad: Hopefully some biker named Karma is diddling their privates in prison right now.
V: I didn't hear about them being at Fry's (readers: an electronics store near the Burbank Airport) but it would be sad if they managed to bilk more people out of their money there.
