Beware of Woman-Abuser Paul Allen Derrick

Hey all, it's been a long time. We've been busy. But we wanted to bring to your attention something very important. There is a sick predator lose on the streets by the name of Paul Allen Derrick. This guy's sick desires has somehow managed to avoid notice of the Richland County, as they actually had him employed as a sheriff's deputy. His mental instability was recently brought out into the open however, when a video captured by a customer at Buffalo Wild Wings in Columbia, SC caught Derrick in the act of one of his tricks of trying to force a woman into submission by violent coercion methods. This would have all gone on without much notice if it hadn't been for an alert patron who began taking video of the scene as soon as he realized something wasn't right. View the video below:



Details are scant as far as what Paul Allen Derrick was using as his justification for attempting to subdue the woman, but those who were there say he blew up when she rejected his advances. She no doubt saw him for the predator he is, and his next actions proved this assumption correct. As you can see from the video, he manhandles her, pulls out handcuffs and a gun and bosses (and tosses) her around like a drill sergeant. At first, there is confusion in the air, with customers not quite sure what's going on but assuming Paul Allen Derrick must be some sort of authority figure making a legitimate arrest. As his attack continues, it becomes more clear that this is no typical arrest, and Paul Allen Derrick is not your typical officer. This is a deranged man with a sick lust for what he can't have, and will use his everything within his power - this time handcuffs and a gun - to gain compliance for his pleasure. It makes you wonder what tactics he would have used if he wasn't out in public, and where it would have led to.

So where are we now? Fortunately the police were called and Paul Allen Derrick was arrested. He's now on unpaid leave. That's a good start, and it shows that the police recognize that this a monster and not a legitimate officer. But what's the next step? We won't be satisfied until he's locked up behind bars for a long time, away from women and children.

If you or anyone you know has been a victim of Paul Allen Derrick, please send us an e-mail or leave a message in the comments. Of course, do call the police as well.  The community needs to know about predators like this walking around, and it's only after we put all the pieces together that we can make a case for putting this sicko away for good. Now that Paul Allen Derrick has been shown in public to be the monster he's been all along, it will be interesting to see how he reacts. The fake facade of authority and respect has been shattered, and now there's nothing to stop him from indulging in what he has craved all along. If Richland County is smart, they're monitoring this whackjob 24/7. It also behooves the rest of the community to be on alert as well. If you see this man, do keep in mind that he is armed and will not hesitant to use violence against you, especially if you're a woman. Try to avoid eye contact, call the police, and remain or flee to a safe area. If you have any information about Paul Allen Derrick, feel free to include it in the comments below. We will make updates as we receive them.

Update: Paul Allen Derrick has been fired from his position at Richland County. We commend Richland County Sheriff's Department for doing the right thing. Far too often incidents like this are swept under the rug but we must give credit where credit is due. Great job Richland County!


We look forward to seeing charges filed against Mr. Derrick for false imprisonment, along with other charges involving his use of a fire arm in public while intoxicated, as an instrument of intimidation.

Emergency Alert System test scheduled for 1pm today

For the first time ever in history there will be a nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) to be conducted by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Federal Communications Commission. This alert system has been in place for the past 60 years but has never been used. The test will begin at 1pm today and only last for 30 seconds - it was initially going to be 3 minutes long but there were concerns that people would begin to panic and think there was a real emergency.

From Kansascity.com:

Two years in the planning, the minutelong drill is designed to expose weaknesses in a 60-year-old readiness system that has never been used — not even on 9/11.

“Coming from the military, what you do is you prepare for conflict,” Barnett said. “You test your system. You train your folks. When they told me this had never been tested I said, ‘How do you know it works?’ ”

This warning system seems to be a useful thing to have, although evidently we've made it this far just fine without needing it - but we could imagine some scenarios in which it could help. And actually we're glad that this hasn't been used yet, because it's one of those things that could get out of hand very quickly and become overused for events that are barely emergencies.

Now maybe we're being naive here, but just how hard is it for the government to send out an emergency message over television and radio airways? This has been 2 years in planning, really? Of all the great things we're able to accomplish as a nation, somehow sending out a simple 30 second message is this huge endeavor that takes years of planning. It better go right tomorrow because that would really be pathetic if we fucked this up. On the other hand, just how necessary is this type of alert system? Evidently no events in the past 60 years, including the 9-11 World Trade Center attacks, were important or urgent enough to warrant using it. And it seems to me that if anything were to be more serious and more urgent than anything we've ever experienced over the past 60 years, wouldn't the news and television media already be talking about it? Plus with the internet and mobile devices being as commonplace as they are today, people are more connected to current events and up-to-date on emergency information than ever before.

9-11 dispatch centers all across the country are preparing themselves and bracing for a flood of calls from people confused by the warnings, which could make it difficult for people with real emergencies to get through. Let's help everything goes smoothly.
