To clarify, he seems to not have “no arms and legs”, but rather, both only go to the elbow/knee or so, and he can still use the stumps for some purposes. ---

> [@Chronos](#): > > both only go to the elbow/knee or so, and he can still use the stumps for some purposes. Yeah, I had to look at the video to see just exactly how he, as a quadruple amputee, could fire a gun. ---

That’s the best I could determine from the article, but frankly the story seemed to have been cut off prematurely. ---

The alleged perp seems a few appendages short of a set. I wonder how the cops are going to fingerprint him? ---

> [@LSLGuy](#): > > I wonder how the cops are going to fingerprint him? I was wondering how they were going to cuff him. Or if they yelled at him to put his hands up. While those sound like crude jokes, I legitimately _did_ wonder. (I assume there is some protocol though, as this probably isn’t the first time law enforcement has had to deal with an amputee.) ---

[Here’s an article](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/how-are-amputees-handcuff_b_7537652) from several years ago that discusses it, though protocols may have changed in the years since it was written. ---

All I have to say is that, where I come from, professional cornholing is technically illegal. ---

Officials at the Mississippi Department of Public Safety were packing up to prepare to move the department to its new office building. In an old suitcase in a closet, which presumably once belonged to a Highway Patrol officer, they found a Klan robe, a rulebook dating to the '60s, minutes from meetings, a list of members, and assorted propaganda.

Quite apart from everything else, KKK terminology is just goofy even by secret society standards. They’ve got Klavern, Klexter, Klokards, Klabee, Kladd, Kligrapp and a Kludd, not to mention the “Grand Giant”. It’s like Temu-brand Dr Seuss. Also: > [@](#): > > He said he’s seen the handbook, known as a Kloran, before. The original copy was printed on a long sheet of paper like a scroll, he said. The “Kloran”? _Really?_ ---

I’m just surprised their ceremony doesn’t involve walking around a big white rock called the “Klaaba”.
