We posted earlier about a level 3 homeless sex offender that lives in the white bus that moves all around the Cape. We can’t get into details, but it has come to our attention that this guy has a very long, very violent record in New York in addition to his Massachusetts record.
We are talking serious acts, some against children. This guy is no harmless flasher, he’s the real deal. Stay very far away from this dude, and whatever you do, don’t engage him in any way. Don’t think it would be funny to spray paint something on his bus, don’t think you should take it upon yourself to tell him to leave Cape Cod. Don’t be a hero. We aren’t serious on this website very often, but we don’t blow smoke either and we are dead serious about this.
It’s true, tomorrow is The Real Cape’s first birthday. It’s been a crazy year and we figured why not look back on it once a week with a little throw back. Every Thursday we will post the most popular blog of the week from the year before.
Our first TBT is the post that started it all. This is the very first Real Cape article that went viral and as they say… the rest is history.
Full Story Here – TRURO – Not surprisingly, homecoming is a big deal at Nauset Regional High School.
The annual dance that caps the week of festivities is typically one of the biggest events of the school year. But not this year.
While the school hosted its traditional formal on Saturday, most of the senior class turned out for a different, unsanctioned dance down the road.
You could call it something of a protest dance, but to Nauset senior Chris Wingard, who organized the event, it was a way to reclaim a rite of passage that had been chipped away at by school authorities.
“It all started last year when most of the students left after an hour and a half because it was really a pretty miserable time for them,” said Wingard, who is Nauset’s senior class vice president and a member of the student council.
The fun was diminished by lights turned on high and chaperones constantly pulling apart couples dancing closely or “grinding” on the dance floor, he said.
The suddenly heightened restrictions led to a general malaise about the event, he said.
“No one was really excited about going this year,” said Wingard. “They didn’t want to go back.”
So instead, Wingard decided to put together an alternative dance for his classmates. He secured the ballroom at the Four Points Sheraton in Eastham, booked a DJ, and got nine adults and an off-duty police officer to chaperone the event.
He called it The Miles Tibbetts Memorial Dance in honor of a Nauset student and friend who was struck and killed by a car on Aug. 17 while crossing Route 6 in Wellfleet.
Wingard sold more than 200 tickets at $15 dollars each, enough to cover the costs of the event and establish a $1,000 scholarship fund in Tibbett’s name.
He estimated that more than 150 of Nauset’s 250 seniors purchased tickets to the dance.
But the event wasn’t without a toll of controversy.
“There’s been a pretty strong backlash against it. It’s been extremely difficult for me honestly,” Wingard said.
Wingard faced pressures from school officials to cancel the event and brushback from teachers who disagreed with the intention of the dance.
“They made it out to be some some drug-fueled orgy, which is pretty far from the case,” Wingard said.
Some advisors wanted Wingard removed from his post as senior class vice president and to be taken off the student council, he said.
Oh what’s that Nauset High? You don’t want to let the kids bump and grind at the Homecoming dance? That’s cool, Chris Wingard will just host a private twerkfest right in your face on the same night. You have to respect this move by Chris, not many kids have the cojoñes to take on their school and he just went balls deep in the entire Nauset High faculty.
How can any educator with half a brain be mad at this kid? He saw a situation where the majority did not like what was happening and he changed it to fit the will of the people. It doesn’t get any more America than that folks. If we had more adults like him maybe we’d all be able to enjoy a drug fueled orgy every once in a while.
Yarmouth Police:LEVEL 3 SEX OFFENDER JOHN J. STANGL VEHICLE IDENTIFIED Level 3 Sex Offender John J. Stangl is a convicted felon and is legally registered as homeless in Hyannis. This is the vehicle that he uses and lives in and sometimes travels all over Cape Cod in. It was observed by the Yarmouth Police PAC UNIT this morning at Chase Garden Park on Route 28 in West Yarmouth near Standish Way. Please be vigilant…
Level 3 Sex Offender Community Notification Pursuant to M.G.L. c. 6, §§ 178C-178Q, the individual who appears on this notification has been designated as a Level 3 Sex Offender by the Sex Offender Registry Board. The Board has determined that this individual is at a high risk to reoffend and that the degree of dangerousness posed to the public is such that a substantial public safety interest is served by active community notification.
I don’t mean to be harping on criminals here today, but you may want to be aware of this alert from the Yarmouth Police. I don’t want to state the obvious here, but you just can’t get any more rapey than that bus. That thing should be confiscated immediately under some kind of “anti diddling factory” zoning bylaw violation or something.
So yeah, like the YPD says “please be vigilant” which directly translated into Rapish means, “Stay the fuck away from this guy”…
On Sunday November 2, 2014 at 8:45 p.m. Barnstable Police Officer Troy Perry was dispatched to My Salon & Spa, 58A Corporation Rd. in Hyannis. The business owner discovered that the business had just been broken into during the last hour
A new surveillance system had just been installed and it yielded priceless photos and video of the suspect throughout the course of the entire break-in. The suspect spent nearly 15 minutes in the Salon looking for money but left only with some wine coolers that he located in the back room.
Officer Keith Sexton of the midnight shift viewed the photos during a roll call briefing on the case and was able to positively identify the suspect as Michael Nickerson of Hyannis. Officers Perry and Sexton interviewed Nickerson at a home on Hiramar Rd. Nickerson was found to have the same distinctive clothing and sneakers and was also in possession of the wine coolers that were stolen.
Nickerson is considered to be a suspect in several other commercial break-ins in the area including the previous one at the My Salon & Spa.
Ahhhh… winter time on Cape Cod. Is there anything quite like it? The salon you broke into doesn’t have any cash laying around because they wised up since the last time you broke in? All is not lost, just grab the Bartles and Jaymes that the stylists were saving for a bachelorette party in the morning and get yourself a nice buzz, go out on the town, maybe even stab someone in the neck with a screwdriver if you have time.
They say this guy was backing up to leave a parking spot after being inside the restaurant. So the real question here is what kind of a lunatic goes INTO McDonald’s to eat these days? There are two acceptable times to actually set foot in a McD’s. One is if you’re on a road trip and you need to stretch your legs and use the bathroom, the other is if you have little kids and there is a playground on site. This dude is 76 and lives a few towns away so we can eliminate those two scenarios with a good amount of confidence.
Maybe we should remove the reverse gear from people’s cars when they turn 70. All these oldies crashing into buildings are always either in reverse, or they thought they were in reverse but jumped forward. Let’s just remove one of the directions their cars can travel in and we will probably save a few million a year in property damage. Sorry Grandpa, no parking if it doesn’t have a loop driveway.
CapeCodOnline.com – Police are searching for a person who stabbed a cab driver with a screwdriver and stole his bag at Cromwell Court this morning.
A Town Taxi driver picked up a male party and was told to drive to the apartment complex on Barnstable Road, Barnstable Police Officer Christopher Kelsey said.
“When he pulled in, the male party started stabbing the driver from the back seat with what he believes to be a screwdriver,” Kelsey said.
The armed robbery was reported shortly before 10:40 a.m., Kelsey said.
The passenger than took the driver’s backpack and ran around one of the buildings, Kelsey said.
The driver suffered only superficial cuts and was not seriously injured, Kelsey said, adding that he was checked out by rescue personnel but was not taken to the hospital.
This is so embarrassing. I am absolutely sick and tired of these lunatics giving Cape Cod a bad name. I mean seriously, come on… a screwdriver. Have our once illustrious criminals fallen on such hard times that they can’t even afford knives? Has the crazy Cape criminal game sunk to such a low that they can’t even stab a cab driver right?
Let’s go crazy Cape criminals, you’re better than this. This is Cape Cod for god’s sake, stabbing a cab driver with a screwdriver is poor people shit. Remember the glory days of the Cape, when our cab driver stabbers brandished the finest switch blades available? Is there a more definite sign that Cape Cod has lost its luster than when our own criminals are resorting to stabbing people with a phillips head? It’s a crying shame what’s happened to this peninsula.
CapeCodOnline.com – Many birds fly south for the winter — but in a plane?
That’s the first-class treatment received by a male osprey that had been rehabbing at the Cape Wildlife Center in Barnstable Village. The bird had fractured a wing when a summer storm blew down its nest.
Although the osprey is just about ready for release, it still needs a little time for some feathers to grow in, said Brittany Griffin Morse, wildlife rehabilitator at the center, which is operated by The Fund for Animals and the Humane Society of the United States.
By the time the raptor would be ready to return to the wild, it would likely be challengingly chilly on Cape Cod, so Morse started searching for ways to get the bird to the South Florida Wildlife Center in Fort Lauderdale.
A Cape Wildlife volunteer connected Morse with New Hampshire pilot Drew Gillett and his wife, Barbara, who were headed down to the Fort Lauderdale area for a little rest and relaxation. The Gilletts had room in their plane and agreed to make a pit stop in Hyannis on their way to the Sunshine State.
On Monday morning at Barnstable Municipal Airport, Morse handed Drew Gillett a crate containing the osprey and he stowed it aboard his plane.
“I’m hopeful that he will just relax and enjoy the flight,” Gillett said.
If all goes well, Morse expects the bird to be released in Florida within a couple of months. And when the time is right, the osprey should return to our shores.
“He’s a Cape Cod bird,” Morse said. “He would head back up this way next year.”
Hey I have an idea. Maybe the Gilletts have room for a few more? I’m sure there’s a couple of homeless dudes in Hyannis with injured wings that would jump at the chance to get to Florida for the winter. If all goes well, and when the time is right, maybe they will return to our shores.
“He’s a Cape Cod homeless guy, he would head back up this way next year.”
P.S. Relax, I’m totally kidding, we all know that we don’t go nearly as far out of our way for homeless people as we do for birds on Cape Cod these days.
