They are still afraid of being gunned down by a barely literate retard with no comprehension if the law.

I don't know anything about pogo sticks, but do they not have some kind of grippy material on the end of the stick? Half of those fails were the stick sliding out from under the person, that seems like a terrible design!

They were probably pushing down on the handles, meaning that when they bounced up they were pushing the pogo stick away from them. You're supposed to pull up because that pulls the foot-grips into your feet.

They've actually come to Australia outside of the one clip of the guy screaming "I DO NOT CONSENT" at a cop; a friend of my sister works as a Police Officer and told me about how there had been a dude who had worked with the Melbourne Metropolitan railway services (Metro) who kept a master key for the switchboxes after he had been let go. The guy was basically holding the key for ransom unless he got a couple of million in silver and pulling the usual sovereign citizen poo poo..
Mind you this is only broad strokes as I haven't talked to my sisters friend in ages so I'll have to ask him about more of the details.

Yeah but that’s because most of the people they interact with aren’t sovereign citizens.

Most barbecues don’t end in injury, but if you hear “hold my beer and watch this”, you’d better believe the danger goes up.

Football schadenfreude. England fans have spent the best part of 3 days fighting Police, locals and destroying Marseille before their opening EURO 2016 game against Russia.

After the game, Russian fans stormed the England end and kicked gently caress out of them

I wouldn't go that deep into the pseudoscience, I'd say it's much more likely that they just want a hoard of gold but can only afford a single coin of solid gold, at most. So, they just go to the next best thing; every fantasy thing out there says that silver is just one less than gold, so if they switch their goals to hoarding silver they can suddenly afford a plate or even a bar! Optionally with patrioric, independent, or even legal-magic-spells stamped into it

I'm still amazed that helmets are generally considered optional among skaters. I even see a ton of professional skaters go out without helmets outside of big events. I can't think of any other sport where life-saving safety equipment is discarded even among pros.

When planning to adopt a dog, you should prolly make sure if its legal or not to own it where you live. Double schaden because the guy who adopted the thing found out about it being available from a post that described it as a dog that's illegal to own where he lives in the first place. Triple schaden owing to the fact that the guy can totally have his dog confirmed to not be a breed that's illegal to own where he lives, but he seemingly doesn't want to.

Star Citizen staff are allegedly tagging donors. For a brief amount of time, those tags were visible to the donors on their profile (like Goon, Snowflake, High Maintenance, Grey Market, Exception and more.)

Where it was first noticed : https://www.reddit.com/r/Starcitizen_trades/comments/4mmg4y/psa_cigs_blacklist_categorization/ The OP gave like 40k to this game.

Turns out giving your customers preferential treatment based on their willingness to put up with your skeezy behavior is itself skeezy, who knew.

I'm continually amazed that they haven't been shut down.
