Reddit In Chaos After Allegedly Firing AMA Coordinator Victoria Taylor

It's utter chaos at Reddit.

Draco Spirit · 2015-07-03, 05:12

Isn't chaos the normal state anyway?

Irenicus · 2015-07-03, 06:01

AskReddit!? Good thing I don't have work tomorrow!

This is an unusual level of chaos, though, even for Reddit. The /r/fatpeoplehate clusterfuck -- wherein the banning of a popular harassment subreddit resulted in a user revolt -- was largely kept away from the mainstream, better moderated subreddits until the 14 years olds got bored.

Now it's the strongly moderated, mainstream parts of the site that are revolting. Drama-free subs like /r/history you'd never think give a damn about internet drama. I'm going to need extra popcorn.

That is entertainment politics for you. Methinks that someone wants her to make money out of her popularity, and like any idealist, she refused. So they booted her.

All the world is a stage. She can go shine her star elsewhere while reddit factory produces Justin Bieber widgets of her one after another.

We need more from US. Most of them are from the Mideast and it is unfair.

Yep. I think that is the mobile gun emplacement version. And lol :

Several German media reports mention that residents had seen the man driving it around town about 30 years ago. "He was chugging around in it during the snow catastrophe in 1978,"

I wish he is my grandfather.

He wanted to die a free man.

"There was no rushing him to the hospital. There was no Devon left when I got there," said 25-year-old Cody Staples, who called it an accident.

WTF is that....a bloody grenade?! I don't think it would make any difference where he fired it off from if he got blown to bits by it...

It is a reloadable firework, so it is basically a mortar launcher.

Probably died from whiplash since those things pack a recoil when fired. That is why the baseplate is to the ground.

Man Arrested For Firing Musket At Passing Cars While Dressed As A Pirate

Quote:

Keys Man Arrested for Pirating
Yo-ho, yo-ho, a pirate's life for Jamie Spering. The man makes his living as a professional pirate entertainer (in addition to truck driving). Of course, pirating is a highly illegal activity, so it makes sense that Spering would find himself on the wrong side of the law, much like the character he plays.

Monday afternoon, Spering met up with two lady friends at the Sunset Grille in Marathon to watch the sunset. Spering was in full pirate regalia and had two muskets, a dagger, a knife, and a sword on him. Then trio decided to walk out toward the Seven Mile Bridge for some fun.

Spering shot one round from a musket into the water and then turned and fired another at cars. Don't worry — they were only black-powder rounds, not real ammunition, but it suffices to say that a man dressed as a pirate and firing a gun toward a road still had a lot of drivers shivering their timbers (in fact, one took a cell-phone video that was handed over to police).

Spering was arrested for disorderly conduct.

The arrest report has all sorts of fun facts, like his appearance being listed as "flashy — unusual odor." Also, while they booked him, police confiscated the following items: a red leather hat, a silver flask, and "a black leather pirate belt with misc buckles."

Yup, Florida.

Yup, Florida.

Book him and fine him. Then explain to him that although he has the freedom to dress and act like a pirate for fun, he must not use it to instill fear upon others. One of the tenets of freedom is "Freedom from fear" and that is Un-American of him to do that.

aohige · 2015-07-06, 15:35

Ok, c'mon Florida you have to do it.

Make him literally walk the plank.
I bet he'd be yaaaaaarg yohoho about it.

Draco Spirit · 2015-07-06, 17:34

Guy was being a complete idiot in fairness. Causing serous panic in someone driving a speeding car is a good way to cause a traffic accident and give the local hospital and morgue a busy day.

Lol you'd think a broken spine would not result in something as dramatic as "no Devon left when I got there"
