Hurlshort Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 It did sound like the type of tree was an issue more than just trees in general. Definitely fits in the weird news category.

Raithe Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 WCVB - Star Wars fans grant dying wish Ron Villemaire is a father, a Vietnam veteran, and a die-hard Star Wars junkie. His daughter, Elizabeth, purchased tickets for "Star Wars: The Last Jedi," hoping they could see the movie together. But Ron was diagnosed with stage four colon cancer earlier this year and his condition made it impossible to get to the movie theater on his own. When Elizabeth sent out a tweet asking for help with the hashtag #RonsLastJedi, she never expected the local community to respond in such a tremendous way.

Gfted1 Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 Not sure Iowa fans turning and waving at a building belongs on that list Just in case you misunderstood, the UoI football stadium is directly adjacent to the University of Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital, whos rooms overlook the playing field and stands. So that's why they are waving, to the sick children watching the game from their room windows. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"

smjjames Posted December 28, 2017 Posted December 28, 2017 Remember that giant Trump rooster statue outside that Chinese mall? Well, that same mall has replaced that with a giant dog with Trumps hairdo and one of his gestures. http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/366640-giant-trump-dog-statue-placed-outside-chinese-mall I wonder if sharp_one will change his avatar or something, lol. Not that I don't like the avatar, just thought maybe he'd go with the change.

Of course someone can ask if the cop was justified, but given how terrified cops are by everything it'll be hand waved away Sadly I think you'll be correct. Screw that cop though, shooting someone to death because they opened the door.
Gfted1 Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 A different article I read says the cop fired because the suspect "reached for his waistband". Yeah, my ass. Why aren't police responsible even for accidents? If a civilian accidentally discharges a weapon and it kills someone, don't they go to jail for manslaughter? 3 "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
Guard Dog Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 A different article I read says the cop fired because the suspect "reached for his waistband". Yeah, my ass. Why aren't police responsible even for accidents? If a civilian accidentally discharges a weapon and it kills someone, don't they go to jail for manslaughter? Completely agree with this. If I were in charge I'd give all the police agencies in the country a choice: 1) Give up your firearms while on duty 2) Give up your qualified immunity. You cannot keep both. That's when you'll see police using non lethal means. 1 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell
Gfted1 Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 I don't know that disarming the police while maintaining an armed populous is a good solution either. Cops have a tough job. But I do agree on removing qualified immunity. "Spray and pray" cant be defended imo. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
Guard Dog Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 For all the fans of your big benevolent governments out there remember this: there is no crime so minor or infraction so small it's agents will not happily kill you to enforce. Right here in the Good Ol' USA the penalty for missing a court date is the summary execution of your entire family by FBI snipers.
