US Goon shocked and appalled to find that world is a dirty, unjust place

Because the padding is to protect the hands, not the skulls. Gloves make punches worse for the person being hit, not better.

If you're serious about protecting the head, then they need to wear headgear.

Opinions are highly divided on this matter. While headgear will absorbe some of the impact and reduce the amount of cuts, it will also make your head heavier (which adds more intertia to a brain bouncing around inside the cranium), a bigger target, and reduce vision (which makes it harder to dodge incoming blows). The actual benefits from headgear when placed on actual, fighting humans (as opposed to dummies in a laboratory) are debatable.

Starting in Rio, Olympic boxing will no longer include headgear, at least for male boxers.

Jesus loving Christ. " Some dumbass is planning on shooting people with a paint gun, better charge him with being a terrorist".

Guy's a dipshit but seriously, that's what you're going to charge him with? Not attempted assault or something that fits the crime? Yeah sure he's technically terrorizing people but I don't think that's what it's for.

It's like everyone involved just wants to crank that escalation dial to 11.
"Terrorist Threats" are not the same thing as being a "terrorist". Many jurisdictions have changed the name to Criminal Threat to reflect the current definition of Terrorist as something different than what it used to be. This just happens to be a county where they haven't gone through the process of changing the name. It's a semantic thing. Threatening to hurt someone or a group of people for doing something you don't agree with is a criminal act regardless of what label is put on it.

We conceived a way to use my mother as a porn mule


I was pulled over this morning for a random drink driving test, and I asked the cop how many people he pulls over for using their phones playing Pokemon Go. He laughed and said our national debt would be paid back in no time due to the amount of tickets written.

Guessing the charge is based on how they modified their paintball guns (or how the police assumed they did). If they're modified to look like real guns or to fire like ball bearings then terroristic threat is probably about right :shrug:

Wouldn't even have to be modified, just firing paintballs is bad enough

Being only a small and stupid child when this was aired (as opposed to being large and stupid now) this scared the poo poo out of me and made me terrified of paint balling. Eventually someone wanted to do it for a birthday and the embarrassment of pussying out was slightly greater than my fear of getting PJ'd. So I went a long and really enjoyed it but holy poo poo I wouldn't remove my mask until I was positive I was out the other side of the gun repository and checked that no one had smuggled one out.

In addition to being able to blind you they do tend to leave some good sized welts and bruises, and that's even when some jackass doesn't decide to crank up their gun's velocity just to be a dick.

The last time was a lovely Oscar Meyer that I was quick-eating before a date and cut it too long and didn't chew remotely well because I was pressed for time.

Okay, is choking on hot dogs really a common thing once you leave preschool? I've never encountered this even as a kid.

Terrorism is the use or threat of violence against a civilian population to effect a change in political, economic, or foreign policy or to otherwise alter behavior.

So threatening random people for playing pokemon with violence is p much terrorism.

It's true, that sort of injury is common among millennial goons.

Older goons are more prone to accidents involving funneling hot tar up their asses with a road cone.
