Omnibus Stupid MFers in the news thread (Part 1)

Quiet stuff? I don’t think she even has an inside voice.

No wonder she has the ideas she has, she probably gets kicked out of every library she’s ever tried to be in minutes after entering.

(Assuming she would even go near a library, those liberal Satanic churches full of books that aren’t the Bible.)

Yesterday or the day before, I read online an exchange on The Big Bang Theory between Leonard’s and Shelton’s mothers.

Leonard’s mom: Woman. Read another book (beside the Bible).
Shelton’s mom: When God writes another one, I will.

Actually, I’m convinced PTG has never read the Bible either.

Having some preacher give his opinion on it is practically listening to a book on tape, so she doesn’t have to.

There are stupid (and hateful) people in Canada, too.

Starr said a woman accompanying the man started calling her and her ex-wife “genital mutilators and groomers.”

And this wasn’t even in Alberta!

A robber in the UK tries to get back into the shop while the shutters are closing .

I’ll bet it wasn’t even good lager.

Georgia murder suspect tracked down after leaving phone behind at dine and dash scene.

His lock screen was a selfie of himself.

Not enough details yet, this may have been an accident. But I doubt it.

“Well, that’s me fecked. Best enjoy one more, won’t be getting Tennant’s in Wormwood Scrubs, Oi reckon.”

People do stupid shit around the edge of the canyon every day. People fall into the canyon and die on a regular basis. The tourist areas of the canyon are also usually pretty crowded, so if he was pushed or tossed, it would have been seen.

I think there was a camera involved, and possibly some booze.

The proper term is “road pizza”. I have never heard it called “street pizza”.

“Street pizza” runs east-west. If it’s north-south, that’s “avenue pizza”.

Search and Rescue posted an account of the recovery effort, and put the suicide prevention hotline number in there. Unfortunately, this may not be appropriate for this thread.

Case in point.

The Skywalk, while at the edge of the Grand Canyon, is not in the National Park but rather Grand Canyon West on the Hualapai reservation. I would imagine any investigation would be by tribal police and/or Mohave county deputies.

I think, but I’m not sure…murders on NA reservations are also under Federal jurisdiction because the state or county has no jurisdiction on NA lands.

My only cite for this is my personal experience on Federal jury duty for a murder between tribe members on an Apache reservation. (It was a horrible story of grinding poverty and alcoholism. Very ugly, do not recommend.)

However, I take out of state friends to the Grand Canyon on a regular basis and every single tour guide we have had talks about idiots who fell into the canyon by doing stoopid stuff. Selfie pics have been the leader lately cause folks looking at their tech toy move for the best pic while forgetting where they are standing.

I’ve got that book. It’s a heckuva read. Lots of shake-your-head stories.

Yes.

…I worked for an Indian tribe and had to work with the FBI and a US attorney for a while because they were the ones with jurisdiction after a cyberattack. Also, I drove a GSA fleet vehicle when I worked there. Feds have jurisdiction over tribes and tribal lands.

Thank you. That’s what I thought I had remembered, but the case itself was so ugly that I wanted to forget everything I had seen and heard and while it didn’t really go away, it came to mind less often.

I will have an anxiety dream tonight that involves water and misplacing a cat or car. If I’m lucky, that is.

Did you ever read “Angela’s Ashes”? Remember how nothing every got better, bad things just kept happening?

I think I don’t want to talk about this anymore.
