Yeah, I was a little harsh there. The situation is just so what-the-fuck ridiculous that the story seemed unfinished. Hopefully, there will be a follow-up. Is her ring a weapon or something? 😀 ---

I doubt that this is the case, and sorry that I can’t remember the source, but from one novel: The protagonist notices his opponent is wearing a “fighting ring” with sharp edges. “(He) gives his fist a little twist when throwing a punch and the ring cuts right to the bone.” ---

> [@crowmanyclouds](#): > > At some point someone is gonna have to cite that wedding rings violate FAA regulations for boarding an aircraft. I have no sympathy whatsoever with Mrs. Meggs, but I would not be unduly surprised to find out that this situation was basically just low-level letter-of-the-law prisoner harassment. Prisoner transport in the US often comes with a certain amount of gratuitous hardship and contemptuous treatment, and I imagine that Mrs. Meggs isn’t terribly popular with her custodians. This could be a case of “I can’t actually abuse you even though you are a lowlife POS, but if I can make your life more difficult by nitpicking rule enforcement against you, I will”. If I’m being unjust to the TSA officials and/or others in charge of this situation, I’ll gladly apologize for my suspicions, but just going on the information available so far, that’s what my suspicions are. I’m ---

We in the airline biz deal with prisoner transport a lot more often than you might imagine. I’d be surprised to see TSA abusing (however mildly) a prisoner. The bit about a finger ring makes no sense to me. I really wonder what the rest of this story is. ---

Yikes! It’s unfortunately not that surprising that somebody sexually assaulted an animal, which apparently [somewhere between 1% and 5% of US adults have done](https://www.vermonthumane.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Animal-Sexual-Abuse-Fact-Sheet.pdf), but it’s definitely surprising that somebody posted their assault video online. I mean, even in this modern age of on-camera-all-the-time it’s still surprising. ---
