Kickstarter Fail: John Campbell Burns Comics Rather Than Sending Them To Donors
This is what happens when you finance lunatics that can't grasp what will cost to make "the product" and deliver it to the investors. Since Kickstart is a gamble and if you dont have info about the ppl doing is purely a shot in the dark. See this line: "After shipping costs, I “lost money” on most of the books I sold at the $25 level so..."

why people give money away in these funding scams is beyond me. Especially when if the idea works the guy you funded becomes a millionaires/billionaires and all you get is a lousy t-shirt.

And willingly gave it to their 8/9 year old sibling? To give pot(not for medical purposes) to a child..honestly..that would just be disgusting. I think what's more likely is carelessness. The owner left it lying around and one of the kids got curious which is what led to this situation.

Massachusetts court says 'upskirt' photos are legal
LOL... I can stop having LOL from all the wording used there like: "A female passenger on a MBTA trolley who is wearing a skirt, dress, or the like covering these parts of her body is not a person who is 'partially nude,' no matter what is or is not underneath the skirt by way of underwear or other clothing," wrote Justice Margot Botsford of the state Supreme Judicial Court. "In sum, we interpret the phrase, 'a person who is ... partially nude' in the same way that the defendant does, namely, to mean a person who is partially clothed but who has one or more of the private parts of body exposed in plain view at the time that the putative defendant secretly photographs her," the high court ruled. But Robertson's lawyers argued that the female passenger on the trolley was not "nude or partially nude" and was not in a place where she had a reasonable expectation of privacy, according to court documents.

There's some more context here. Apparently the "offending" book compared the character Ultraman King to Allah. I just... why? I am kind of embarassed of being Malaysian right now. And a little worried since I really love Ultraman, although I assume there's little chance there'd be a widespread ban of all Ultraman-related media. |

Not existent in police protocol. Military only.
The latter protocol is, "When he is stopped and refused to come out, put 100 MG rounds into him, 20 cents each only." The former protocol avoids this sort of collateral damage, so they minimise casualties to avoid backlash from the lawbreaker and public, who view them to be more merciful and followers of the rule of law they enforce. The APO who drew the baton did the right thing. Ready stance while his colleague encourages the driver to come out. That is SOP; as only half-policemen they cannot make decisions themselves, and the driver did not pose an immediate or significant threat as the barrier is up and stopped him. It was not known that the barrier is another cheapo product though. Should have bought the Israeli/American ones. EDIT : Sochi Hotel Guests Complain About Topless Portraits of Putin in Rooms Quote:

Speed trap city accused of corruption, threatened with extinction
Be warned that the article is long. It's corruption at it's best. Anyway I lol a lot but this one in particular: " The city doesn't pay its bills on time, if it pays them at all, the audit says. It doesn't balance the checkbook or withhold employee payroll taxes or hold elections when it should. It doesn't maintain insurance on city vehicles. Record-keeping is hit or miss. The auditors were told that the records they sought were destroyed by an accident or in a flood. The water meter readings? Those were "lost in the swamp." " Stockwell fire blamed on bird carrying lit cigarette So now do we need to find the bird and lock it up?
