Slick Rick

WLOSers stuck with with “castration dungeon” story Monday, although there were a couple of other news tidbits we’ll get to that competed for attention. But how can we not stay on the story about Master Rick (Richard Sciara) and his sex “slaves.”?

Master Rick and his two buddies, who were arrested last week in Haywood County and charged with performing castrations without malice (or a license), had their first appearance in court Monday. All three looked old and frail. Master Rick is 60, after all. One of the other guys had a sweet mullet. Not just your regular mullet, but a mullet that was sort of a pompador up front and long trailing tresses in the back. Impressive.

So the news was that they’re still in jail. Also, WLOSers told us that Master Rick was on the Internet the day before his arrest looking for more “slaves.” Master Rick, it seems, was a regular on a BDSM web site CollarMe.com. (Not really a work safe link, people.) The site looks like a bulletin board for people living the sadomasochistic lifestyle. (Edgy Mama, you probably know something about this site, don’t you, judging from a recent post and your Halloween costume…)

Back to Slick Rick:
“This is NOT a game with Me, I live this lifestyle, have currently 1 live in 24/7 slave, whom I Own,” he said in his ad. “Looking to train other slaves and to add to My stable of slaves also. Am always open to giving experiences and expanding limits, but only with Male slaves and subs (submissives).”

The Haywood County News has the ad here. The ad also features of photo of Slick Rick in his leathers – a leather jacket, no shirt, and some ass-less leather pants.

I’m really not trying to judge these dudes, especially since there’s no firm evidence that these guys were cutting other dudes balls off without their permission. What you do in your dungeon is your business, unless you’re hurting someone.

This story does, however, cast a spotlight on a fetish most of us have never heard of or don’t understand. Master Rick’s ad falls right in there with ads for cooter ballin’, skunkin’ and getting your salad tossed.

This story’s not going away. So we’ll just keep our eye on the ball.

Hillcrest shooting

The other big story from the weekend was a drive-by shooting in the Hillcrest ‘hood. Sunday afternoon, some dudes from Klondyke, another ‘hood, apparently drove over to Hillcrest and lit it up with a little rat-a-tat-tat in broad daylight.

Police said children were outside playing. People were all over the place. Some 40 rounds were fired, the cops said. One woman was injured when she was hit in the neck with some shotgun pellets.

It’s a miracle nobody was killed. WLOSers talked with upset residents who are ready to move the hell out of Hillcrest. WLOSers also played for us the 911 calls of scared residents who had hit the floor when the shooting started.

The cops have arrested four, maybe five, dudes in connection with the shooting.
