When Indiana University fired Bobby Knight, there were mass riots happening around the stadium. I knew one of the cops who was there. He was sent to keep an eye on the president's house (it's in the center of campus, no fences or anything). Just as he was arriving, they got word that several hundred rioters had left the stadium and were headed their way.

There were fewer than 10 cops. He showed up and asked who the ranking officer was. They said, "you are."

As the rioters came into view, he told them to fall into formation. At the last moment, he yelled "charge!" and they ran towards the mob.

The mob turned and ran away.

He still can't believe it worked.

Quoting for posterity.

This reminds me of the the "One Man, One Riot" story Texas Rangers love to tell.

So, uh, how does one go about getting a paid job punching dudes in the balls? Do you have to do regular porn too, or can you just show up, throw on the gloves, and go to town?

Asking for a friend.

Two year vocational plus certification.

About halfway through I was hoping he'd start doing that Muhammed Ali wiggle.

There you go. Dom/Sub stuff is so serious. Doesn't anyone have fun being a smart rear end and egging the Dom on? Making them lose their poo poo? Maybe turn the tables on them?

Not only does this poo poo look painful the whole attitude is painfully boring.

The Fine Bros are losing subs following their React World announcement.

TLDR: The dudes behind the React series of videos on Youtube (who has gone after TV shows who have done Showing-Kids-Stuff skits) and tried to copyright the term React announced an Awesome Plan. Instead of just reacting to stuff and making them yourself, now you can actually sign up to be part of their network and make them money with your stuff! Naturally a lot of folks are pissed.





So Glorious.

e: They lost 3,000 followers in the 3 minutes I watched.

Fmr. CBC host Jian Ghomeshi is on trial for sexual assault charges. This report says of he's convicted he could face life in prison. The schadenfreude is that on air he was a vocal proponent of social justice and gender equality.

The video of this is great and the pleasure he feels in proving the impotence of congress is palpable

Is it genetic? Is it evolutionary for one human out of so many to be so despicable that the rest of the population rallies around to find a common cause to hate? Who's more hateable, this guy or Ted Cruz?

The schadenfreude is on us for the self induced tizzy we put ourselves in over this guy, then it's going to be on him when the monied and well connected throw every ounce of retribution at him.

On the subject of Congressional hearing schadenfreude, here's George Galloway MP (and professional gobshite) tearing Norm Coleman to pieces.

http://youtu.be/j5u1skEoqLs

I remember this. MPs tear into each other face to face on a weekly basis at Question Time, not via sound bite like hear in America. Coleman didn't know how to handle someone actually dishing poo poo back to him. It was win/win for Galloway. He doesn't have anything to fear from the US Congress and he gets news coverage of him smacking down an internationally unpopular body for being warmongering poo poo heads. Wonderful.

Holy poo poo, this is glorious! Why "gobshite", though (not knowing anything about the guy)?

e: God. It's like a bunch of schoolchildren trying to criticise their teacher. Not all questions are yes/no. Jesus christ.

Congress is packed with 80-90% lawyers. They've confused public testimony with cross examination.

Cliven Bundy (the rancher who avoided paying over a million in fines to the BLM by having an armed standoff) decided to visit his sons in Oregon. The FBI was waiting when he got off the plane.

Is it because the government didn't storm his farm/compound that they all decided they can just wander in and out of their self-created siege zones? John Brown these people aren't.

That might work for the first one or two murdered elite shitbags, but by that point the rest are tipped off that the rest of the world wants them to answer for their evil and they'll helicopter their asses out.

Or declare martial law, whichever is cheapest.

That's so pessimistic and for the wrong reasons. It's not that revolution is impossible, it is. It's just going to be followed by the reign of terror.
