Watching that colonel sweat it out during that interview reminded me of another video of a creepy dude. It was an interview with some guy (I think he had long hair) who claimed to be the close friend of this girl who'd gone missing. He's blathering a lot the whole time, and you can see he's getting nervous when the interviewer mentions police found the body. Turns out the guy was the murderer, surprise surprise.

This is from like a million pages back, but I remember when this first (?) showed up on SA and the same as now, watching that video he seems totally legit. In the first instance he's talking as if she's still alive, with phrases like "we don't know where she's is" and she is a nice person etc.

Then after the interviewer seemingly inadvertently says "body" his demeanour changes completely. For some reason that infers guilt but if this interview alone was all the evidence then I guess I totally bought it, back then and even watching it now.
Afterwards his tense changes to was and were, and he genuinely appears cut up about it, at least in the video.

Here's some Schadenfreude for you: I saw replies to this thread and got excited. But then, I clicked, and no Schadenfreude was to be found. I was let down, and now I am suffering. The Schadenfreude is itt.

Next time you come back to the thread, your expectations will be lowered. And even the weakest schadenfreude will seem much greater.

No, he grabs the stick/whip that the soldier was beating his victim with. You can see the soldier rearranging his grip on the gun at the end of the clip.

er, he pled guilty and described the murder in great detail to the police

quote:

As part of a plea deal brokered over the weekend, 28-year-old Stephen McDaniel revealed Monday in a written statement how he killed Lauren Giddings, as well as what he did with her body. WGCL reports authorities found the 27-year-old's dismembered torso wrapped in plastic in a dumpster outside her Macon, Ga., apartment across the street from the university where they both had graduated.

According to the Macon Telegraph, at 4:30 a.m. on June 26, 2011, a masked McDaniel used a master key to enter Giddings' apartment while she slept. McDaniel wrote in his statement that he watched the victim as she slept; when she woke up, he strangled her to death and placed her body in her bathtub. The killer wrote that he returned to the apartment later that night, after a day spent largely on his computer, and dismembered the corpse with a hacksaw.
After police found the body, McDaniel was arrested on an unrelated burglary charge, according to the station, and officers only discovered evidence that he killed Giddings after looking through his apartment and on his computer.

Prosecuting attorney David Cooke said internet history showed McDaniel had been gathering information about his neighbor online. Investigators also found pictures and videos on McDaniel's camera that were dated the morning of Giddings' disappearance.

Also, thanks for that long TNL video. Whenever I watch "fail" videos, I treat it like a slot machine and every time I see someone on a "hoverboard", it's 777. I wish they would come up with more technologically-advanced ways of generating schadenfreude.

It’s from this video from 2011, and this is the description:
“Villagers clash with police in Chandauli district of Uttar Pradesh after a truck driver was beaten to death by RTO staff at Naubatpur check post; police fire at unruly villagers to disperse them”.

A truck driver was beaten to death by cops for not paying a bribe and these people were protesting about it. The cop in the gif is hitting one of the protesting truckers.

Yeah the lady is totally fine, the 'freude here is the painfully obvious fact that we don't know how to process death very well publicly so we try to cover it up with balloons and smiles and 'stay positive' vibes, and that is awkward as gently caress and really only serves to comfort the anxiety of the living who are struggling with how to process it. This lady is basically just making us keenly aware of the absurdity of this type of performance by simply refusing to participate. You stay awesome, old lady.

If someone tried to interview my grandma she'd act just like that. She's 91, mostly blind, and spends her day washing and feeding my immobile grandfather.

I imagine if a reporter started asking her dumb meaningless questions she'd say something like "I never expected to live this long, and life gets extremely boring at this age". She says that to me at least once every time I see her.

Or am I just misunderstanding the original statement and they were talking about not having a real-gun license while carrying fakes.

If you want to "display, possess, carry, use, import or sell" any imitation firearms in the state of Victoria you require a Chief Commissioner of Police Prohibited Weapons Approval or Governor in Council Exemption. You also need a special licence to own a paintball gun. Weapons manufactured before 1900, obvious toy firearms, spear guns, flare guns and nailguns don't require a licence.

Fake guns are apparently too scary for just anyone to own.

quote:

However, items that have the appearance of a working firearm, even where they do not function as one, are classified as imitation firearms. As imitation firearms can cause public alarm, only people with a Chief Commissioner's Weapons Approval or Governor in Council Exemption can possess, carry or offer them for sale in the State of Victoria.

Australia also has very strict rules on replicas. Paintball guns and air rifles are Category A firearms (the same as .22 rimfire non-automatic rifles and double-barrel shotguns) and require a "genuine reason" to be provided to petition for ownership. Deactivated guns are easier to get, but airsoft guns that:

A) Resemble real submachine guns or machine pistols
B) Fire full auto
C) Have folding or detachable stocks

are illegal. The individual states have even stricter prohibitions that either totally ban airsoft guns altogether or have an effective ban (like making them legal with registration and then refusing to register any). Only the Northern State allows airsoft guns to be owned with the appropriate firearms license....but they banned paintball guns instead.

It seems like the Australian government just has a really tenuous grasp on what a "gun" is and are just making things up as they go along so nobody notices their confusion.

It's the "You have 3 children, 12 grand-children, 20 great-grand-children and 15 great-great-grand-children"-part that makes me sad. I watched one of my grandmothers die in a retirement home while I was 5-15 years old, visiting every year to see her loosing more and more of herself. It was horrible.
The thing I took away from her 4 sons - all with families, raised as fine Christians - was: Old people are a bother and they don't need a happy live with their family anyway because they will die soon. Sorry for the :words:
