Or, indeed, occupants:

http://www.desertsun.com/story/news/2015/11/16/police-standoff-begins-desert-hot-springs/75888500/

quote:

No one was inside the home that authorities surrounded for more than 12 hours Monday in Desert Hot Springs.

Riverside County SWAT Team members entered the home in the 66-300 block of Sixth Street, but they did not find any suspects, according to the Riverside County Sheriff's Department.

Investigators were looking for a suspect in an assault with a deadly weapon, but specific details on that incident were not released.

The standoff began at about 11 a.m. Monday and it lasted into Tuesday morning.

Earlier Monday, Riverside County Sheriff's Deputy Michelle Ploesch said someone was inside a home with a gun. She said she did not know the suspect's gender or whether anyone else was inside the home.

Authorities evacuated nearby homes shortly after the standoff began, Ploesch said.

For part of the afternoon, an officer on a megaphone warned occupants that the home was surrounded and told someone inside to "come out with your hands up." A police helicopter circled overhead.

...

By 6 p.m., Sixth Street residents began to wander past their street, wondering if they could return to their homes. Several Desert Hot Springs High School students said they were looking for families who had been evacuated, because their families wanted to offer them shelter.

As the evening progressed, several SWAT vehicles, an ambulance and a fire truck arrived at the scene. Law enforcement surrounded the house and a police helicopter returned to circle the scene. Neighbors began to gather at Sixth Street and Cactus Drive to observe.

Officers began repeating the call for occupants to exit the house around 9:30 p.m., announcing that they had a search warrant. No one left the house.

Over the next hour, officers threw three flash-bang grenades — weapons that stun but don't seriously injure people nearby — toward the house. They sent a robotic vehicle inside. Finally, around 10:30 p.m., they struck the fence with a battering ram.

I just love the notion of throwing flash-bangs towards a house, like "Close enough!"

Based on extensive viewing of Youtube videos, I've come to the conclusion that every Russian driver is (pick two):

1) Retarded
2) High
3) Drunk
4) Impatient
5) Distracted
6) Ignorant of traffic laws
7) Operating a vehicle in desperate need of repair

It's "Blyat suka". "Blyat" is a generic curse word kinda like "gently caress" and "suka" is pretty much "bitch".

A good one is 30 seconds in, when that car apparently gets T-boned by a driver running a red light...who is then followed by a box truck, apparently running the light even later. I guess they just take red lights as suggestions to stop if you see oncoming traffic?

The best Russian dash-cam is the guy witnessing the massive meteor that shattered windows miles away with the impact. It absolutely lights up the sky in a ball of fire and he just puts down his sun visor with zero fucks to be had. I don't think it's just the prevalence of dash cams that provides all the crazy videos. It's just the same poo poo different day.

Much in the same vein, h3h3 is one of my favorite channels. He calls out many inconsistencies in other YouTube videos. Here's one where he reacts to a video where a "prankster" pranks girls into making out with him while their families watch on "No Clothes Family Day".

this retard took his $33k and turned it into -$106k by placing a short with no limits on a $2 stock which then shot up 800+% today



he's started a gofundme page and already has $5k and is hiring a lawyer to try and get out of paying E*trade


just lmao he's hosed

quote:



I was holding KBIO short overnight for what I thought was a nice $2.00 fade coming. At the close of the bell I saw the quote montage clear out and figured today there was no action after hours in the stock. So I went to my office for a long meeting. I got out of the meeting and saw a message from one of my buddys, he asked if I was ok since I was short KBIO....my heart dropped. "Shoot did I blow up my account, everything I worked for? I don't want to lose all $37,000 that would be terrible." ---It was much worse.

The stock was at $16 and my account was negative over 100k. I figured it was a mistake, Etrade would never let that happen, they must have cut the position when my account got to $0....nope. I immediately called them and they confirmed I still owned all the shares. He says that it got out of hand too fast for them to cover me, he says that all he can do right now is cover. I was devistated. I asked him to cover at $16 and he waited trying to find me a good exit. I told him to do it asap and the fill was around $18.50 avg.

At the moment not only is my $37k gone, but I now owe ETrade the negative balance of over $106k. I always knew I could blow up an account and I was financially able to "afford" to lose the $37k. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that Etrade would NOT have some sort of stop or circuit breaker in place that would automatically cut a position if the account went to $0.....how could they ever let it get to -$144k loss on a account that small!

don't trade on margin and do idiot poo poo like that, ladies and gentlemen.





poopzilla posted:

sell "short" means you are selling a stock that you do not currently possess. in the hopes that the stock price will drop by the time you actually have to fork over the stock you sold, which can be like 3 days or longer depending on how you do it. its basically seen as a lovely thing to do because your hoping poo poo fails .

apparently this idiot did it on a large margin and now he's totally hosed. not a chance in hell he gets out of it unless he goes bankrupt

That's not quite right as a description of short selling (you borrow shares and then have to return them at an agreed time, you're not racing the close of the sale or whatever), but short-position investment is very fertile schafenfreude terrain. There aren't a lot of investment vehicles where the upside is mathematically limited and the downside unlimited.
