Who wants some waffles?

Ban cops from owning guns and let them take down criminals with sick Jackie Chan style prop fighting. "He was standing near a ladder which he could have spun around and bonked us all on the head with so we were forced to subdue him by tying him up with the garden hose and putting a flower pot over his head."

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

A 25-YEAR-OLD man has been arrested in Los Angeles after a “swatting” incident led to an innocent man’s death in Kansas.

The arrested man was identified as Tyler Raj Barriss, according to BNO News. Barriss, who is known online as “SWAuTistic”, is said to have a history of swatting

A man, who identified himself as SWAuTistic, was interviewed by Daniel Keem on the YouTube channel DramaAlert. The man admitted to calling police but argued that he was not responsible for the man’s death, saying that it was not him who pulled the trigger.

“The arguement can be made that the police would never have showed up if I hadn’t made the call, however, I don’t believe I’m the only guilty party involved in this whole incident, considering I was contacted and, you know, almost instructed to swat, and taunted to swat,” he said.

Unfortunately for him, Kansas has what is called the Felony Murder rule. Dude could get done with first degree murder because he committed an inherently dangerous crime that lead to someone's death.

From what it sounds like, Downer did literally everything he should have.
He reported it up the chain and let the process happen.

Worth noting his term as Ambassador is up/he's retiring and returning to Adelaide.

Are you happy now?
It sounds like ASIS heard about from Russian sources that they had an agent who was planning on running for US President. and sent the Ambassador to try and confirm if it was true. Downer passed it back and ASIS tried to tell the CIA/NSA that holy gently caress you have a Russian Agent trying to become the President of the United States.

Meanwhile 3 other western intelligences agencies (Germany, Netherlands and UK) heard the same thing and passed it to the CIA too.

It was always real in our hearts which is all that matters in the end.

Who would have guessed that in the end, it was Alexander Downer that set off a chain events that eventually brought down the Presidency of Donald Trump.

I think if you do the research you'll realise that every major political event of the 20th century can be traced back to a drunk Australian.

Spending NYE on the shores of Lake Albert in Wagga Wagga listening to a cover band play pub rock in the lead up to the kids fireworks at 9:30. Previous band included Baby Got Back in their 90s medley.

No word cloud this month because I didn't get around to it before I left town for Christmas. Hope y'all had a good 2017 and will have an even better 2018.
