Wake up with the Kin-OH GOD WHAT IS THAT?!
I like to think that I live in a country where an adult who acts a little childish and gets pissed about being inconvenienced does not end up with a concussion doled out by hired goons.

Assuming he really was unruly rather than simply involved in a mix up caused by a language barrier and increasingly rising frustrations.

I'm glad he was a doctor because it makes it harder for the masses to discredit him, however justified or unjustified that popular perception might be. I can't imagine what the reactions would have looked like had he been a number of other demographics and job titles...

great dashcam footage of a firetruck in a burnover. that's when a bushfire moves towards your truck so fast you can't escape and all you can do is batten down the hatches and hope you don't die.

I've got a bone to pick.

This argument about whether or not the United Airlines thing was OK or not isn't accomplishing anything anymore, and is leading to some really terrible posts. Post about something else, or get a week.

What's the schadenfreude here? Did they do something stupid to create this situation? It just looks like a terrible experience for the fire crew to me.

Yeah, but they aren't suffering because of something they did, so I'm not feeling it. Seems like they got badly hosed by their teammates and then engulfed in flames. I guess some people might find that joyful?

The TFR events/whatever discussion thread has a couple new rules (race discussion has to be in a poem and cute animal pictures are mandatory) due to everyone acting like poo poo and the mods getting more reports in 24hrs than all of last month.

So, what other mod rage induced thread rules have popped up in the past or are currently in effect and why?

Funny story, the front truck in that clip was out of water at that point. And the driver of the ute would have been literally baked alive if he wasn't able to shelter next to the fire engines. And there were also a couple of firefighters outside the truck on the crew deck during the burnover.

Everyone survived.

Considering what could have potentially happened, denting up the truck is honestly just something to have a laugh about at the pub afterwards.

God, why would you use an actual police decal without permission, you dumbshits. Everything else was carefully crafted to be Pepsi colored and Pepsi branded, and they're going to go ahead and just use a (what is probably a knockoff, but still) SFPD patch. Stupid.

I was living in Youngstown when he was initially arrested. gently caress this guy that death was too quick. I enjoyed every second of the video.

To be clear, he was raping a 9 year old girl, and when he got found out, he burned down the house killing the girl and her grandmother so there would be no witnesses.

We gazed into the eyes of madness... And all we found was horny.





Was the case pretty much "there isn't any remotely realistic way it was anyone else"? I'd feel guilty if it was a falsely accused guy pushed to the breaking point, but I'm also unfamiliar with the murders he was accused of beyond the small blurb about it in the article.

The 'United breaks guitars' thing is pretty memorable because the song went viral and United took forever to respond, and the stock dropped 10% which was like $180 million dollars. That and the negative PR basically undid millions of dollars that United spends on advertising with a negative image.

The stock price thing was just a rumor.

new rumor is United losing 600 million in value. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/uniteds-stock-is-set-to-fall-5-and-wipe-1-billion-off-the-airlines-market-cap-2017-04-11

^^^ Some article on CNN is claiming a reduction of a billion in market value for United.


People are checking out like crazy right now:

Texas university student commits suicide after being accused of gay sexual harassment. The article claims the school broke its own rules in order to punish him without evidence, so maybe the schad is that his lawyer dad is going to eat their lunch?

11-yr old boy hangs himself when his "girlfriend" pranks him that she killed herself. What the gently caress are these kids on about?
