Re: WTF?! News

It was bad enough when people did this because they were participating in a gang initiation. Now they're doing this for fun!

Behavior like this makes stand your ground and stop and frisk unfortunately necessary.
What is going to invariably happen...and sadly, probably needs to happen so these animals will consider that what they are doing is not only terribly wrong, it is dangerous...is that more people are going to conceal carry and several of these animals are going to have to get shot and killed before it stops.

Never though I would see such a day,

Re: WTF?! News

The pathetic cowards who play 'knockout' are just such cowardly scum. The only reason they do what they do is because deep down in their hearts they know what pathetic little cowards they really are, so they go pick on lone, vulnerable passers by who are totally unsuspecting on an attack to try and convince themselves they are actually a real man.

I rarely get so incensed by things I see in the news like this, but the cowardly nature of these attacks and how they would stoop so low as to target women and mothers just offends me in a primal way. If I ever saw someone do this in real life, I wouldn't knock them out, I would want them conscious to feel the beating I would inflict on them. But unlike these cowards, I would let them know I'm coming for them before I throw the first punch.

Sorry rant over.

Jeff, I know you love your guns, but this isn't a case where a gun would make any difference. The whole point is these cowards attack with no warning or reason. And like all cowards, they won't target anyone who looks like they could actually put my a fight so either you won't need a gun at all, or if you did and had one, odds are you would be out cold without knowing what happened never mind having any chance to use it.

Besides, even if you got your gun out, it would be pretty hard to explain multiple homicides against unarmed teens, even if they were scum.

Its cases like this that makes me think there should be a reciprocity rule in law, whereby if someone commits a crime so henious and offensive that conventional sentences are either ineffective or inappropriate, the criminal should have his own deeds visited upon himself.

Apart from delivering justice, it should also serve as a powerful incentive from criminals to actually think about what they are doing to their victims if they know the exact same thing would be done to them as punishment.

I doubt these scumbags would find the game so funny if as part of their punishment they get their lights punched out randomly without any warning as they serve their sentence.

Sorry, plawolf, a gun will make a huge difference.

Not everyone who gets blind sided, get's knocked out. Such an individual can then defend themselves.

In fact, I saw a report from Lansing Michigan today where a man, sometime ago, who was waiting for his grade school daughter at a school bus stopped was attacked. He was not knocked out and was able to pull his gun and shot the perp twice. It was a 17 year old kid, and he did not die, but was later convicted and is now in prison.

Most of these kids are black kids from the hood. They say they are doing it because they are bored.


BS. They could go to almost any gym in the hood and put on the gloves and box. They are doing it because they get a kick out of it, and they go around in groups doing it so their friends can see it and take part (which is why trying to fight them off physically by yourself would be potentially more dangerous).

But, as more people become more wary, and arm themselves, I expect more and more of them will get shot, and in the process this cowardly, dangerous game will peter out..

Black leaders are already warning the youth in these neighborhoods of this...and now there is a case (and I bet there will be more) where a man defended himself and the kid is lucky he was not killed. He would have been justified in being killed.

People are already getting more wary, and more people will arm themselves, and those who attack innocents in this way will pay a price.

And never thought I'd agree so full heartedly to that...

Re: WTF?! News

They are punching people now. What if someday they decide to stab people for fun or shoot people for fun?

A knock out should count as intention to cause grevious bodily harm because it can be easy for an unconcious person to be seriously injured depends on his surrounding environment.

These guys all seem to target the jaws near the back of the neck or the back of the head.

N.Z. In the early 70's had a 'Bash A Pom' episode.It was promoted on national radio personalities Tim Bickerstaff and others.
I tried to find out fro old timers what it was about but only got some vague answers.

It was supposed to have started as a reaction on how the touring N.Z. Rugby team were treated after some post match function dust up.It It was meant to be a joke which got out of hand as quite a few saw it as a green light to demonstrate their dislike of English migrants from the Uk in whatever form they chose.

Interesting. I did not know about this but I'll go look it up.

Re: WTF?! News

With all the serious discussions going on in the other threads I think it's good for some light hearted news that is still militarily related and funny at the same time not to mention opens up a good off beat discussion.

I for one am GLAD to know that ALL of the world's military put together still can't conquer the US ... LOL
Whew! I can finally go to sleep soundly tonight!

A few problems with that analysis. First, most of the USN is not based near the US, but in bases around the globe. If the world suddenly decided to turn against the US, those CVBGs will be sitting ducks.

Second, even if the USN manages to pull all its fleets back to the continent in time, they will still be divided into two fronts: the Atlantic and the Pacific. This is a major disadvantage because the two fleets would not be able to support each other.

An invasion also doesn't need to happen immediately. The world can first cut off US's access to oil, forcing it to spend a lot of resources tapping into its own reserves. This would severely hamper US's production capabilities and give the rest of the world a strong lead in production.

The first step would be to produce a fleet of submarines designed to degrade the fighting capabilities of the USN CVBGs. Ground force pressure must be kept up against Alaska, Quebec, and the US-Mexico border (I assume that Canada will be occupied by the US by then), forcing the US to further divert resources from its navy.

Anyone against the entire world is really a losing proposition.

I think that's a Nissan mini van
Lynda Farley and her "Liberty Van", which is emblazoned with Farley's various political views, parked in front …

A 56-year-old grandmother drove from Kentucky to New Jersey several times in order to fight a $56 traffic ticket over her so-called "Liberty Van."

Good news for the woman: She won.

Lynda Farley, whose van is emblazoned with flags, flowers, bumper stickers and political signs that say things like "Outdoor smoke bans are idiotic" and "Vote Marxists Out," was cited in New Jersey in September 2012 for driving a vehicle with an obstructed view. Specifically, the trooper told her the string of flowers bordering the front windshield of her 2004 Nissan Quest minivan obstructed her view of the road, according to the Express-Times.

Farley didn't agree. She fought the ticket tooth and nail, going so far as to drive her Liberty Van from Kentucky to New Jersey several times to protest the fine. All told, she drove over 5,000 miles and 100 hours during the course of the fight.

On Wednesday, Judge Ann Bartlett overturned the ticket, despite expressing concern about the vehicle's safety.

"Ms. Farley, I wouldn't want my grandchildren walking behind your car," she said, according to the Express-Times. However, the judge said, rules require only that drivers have full views out their front and side windows.

Of course, Farley has spent far more than $56 on fuel to fight the ticket, but she told the Express-Times she places a much higher value on her freedom to say (or drive) what she wants.

Via the Express-Times:

"If that isn't freedom of speech, we have no such thing," Farley said after the ruling. "Besides that, my heart and soul is in it and I will defend that to the death."

This isn't the first time Farley has fought for her right to drive what looks like a giant billboard. Her attorney, Randolph Norris, told the Express-Times that his client also successfully fought $3,000 worth of fines due to Christmas lights on her van.
