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.”
At some point someone is gonna have to cite that wedding rings violate FAA regulations for boarding an aircraft.
And it ain’t my turn in the Google barrel.
Arkansas teacher suspended after forcing five year old black boy to clear feces out of a toilet with his bare hands.
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
Ahh, that’s the part I hadn’t considered.
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.
Shit, Cuomo. Resign already!
You’re done! Finished! A blind man can see this.
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, 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.
TIL that “buggery” is the name of a real crime.
TIL I learned that has nothing to do with bugs.
“We also found and external hard drive containing hundreds of images and videos of child pornography,” Lexington County Sheriff Jay Koon said in a statement.
I think it’s closer to “animal husbandry”.
Maybe if the bug was large enough.
Bestiality sure is a fun thing to do
But I have to say this as a warning to you:
With almost all animals, you can have ball
But the hedgehog can never be buggered at all.
CHORUS 1:
The spines on his back are too sharp for a man
They’ll give you a pain in the worst place they can
The result I think you’ll find will appall:
The hedgehog can never be buggered at all!
Mounting a horse can often be fun
An elephant too; though he weighs half a ton
Even a mouse (though his hole is quite small)
But the hedgehog can never be buggered at all.
Screwing a cow while she goes moo-moo
Will be entertaining to both her and you
Or you might try a tiger, if you have enough gall
But the hedgehog can never be buggered at all.
CHORUS
A fish is refreshing, although a bit wet
And a cat or a dog can be more than a pet
Even a giraffe (despite being so tall)
But the hedgehog can never be buggered at all.
And so on for 35 verses. (Terry Pratchett fans worlds-wide)
Apropos to the thread title, a group called Crazymothers took to twitter with a heartfelt plea,
You can guess how swimmingly that went.
I am offended at the implication that only women are anti-vax. Men can be just as stupid.
What surprises me most about that story is that it’s not from Florida.
Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts has launched an aggressive campaign against the legalization of medical marijuana in his state, going as far as to warn residents that legalizing the drug, which has never been linked to a fatal overdose, would kill their children.
Not only an idiot, but a lying idiot. Alcohol and tobacco are far more dangerous to all humans that the evil weed. But THAT’s OK.
Yet, [according to the DEA], “No deaths from overdose of marijuana have been reported.” And legalization advocates point out that marijuana’s classification was the result of an act of Congress, the 1970 Controlled Substances Act, and [not based on conclusions from scientific experts]
Stupid, lying fuck.
