I’m surprised only because the kind of people who’d do that don’t seem like the kind of people who’d wear their seatbelt, and ought to be too injured to flee.
" A deputy caught up to one of the men and applied a tourniquet"
Yeah, adrenaline can allow you to do amazing things, like running away while bleeding out.
Just an FYI, Wikipedia has an article on the Kia joyriding fad, and specifically calls out Milwaukee.
I’ll just leave this one here. But, can I just add:
Jesus.
“Why are women so hostile when men try to talk to them?”
Gsh!
Did you actually read what happened?
I sure did! Stranger in the grocery store jerked off over her while she was bending down was my takeaway.
Now, that’s not going to be a common thing, but it would sure lead to the urge to keep your distance from strange men in stores. Kind of like not every strange dog is going to bite you, but if it happens once, it’s understandable that you might not want to get close to another.
I feel like women are getting less tolerant of this shit, too. She yelled and chased him down. The recognition that 1) her perceptions are accurate and 2) he’s the one who should be ashamed is nice to see.
Did she engage him? I must have missed that part.
Not funny! If that was your intention.
No, he engaged her without her consent. It’s obviously at least a couple of levels worse than trying to ask her out over the produce.
And it’s not even a little funny. Obviously, Not All Men, but it doesn’t take many men acting like this to poison the well.
Here’s a stupid MFer in New Zealand who tried to body-slam an orca. Warning: mute your sound when you click into the video link to the dive into stupidity; there’s a couple of weird LOUD horn sounds near the start.
A video of the incident involving a 50-year-old man was posted on Instagram in February. A member of the public saw the clip and reported it to the New Zealand Department of Conservation (DOC), according to a release from the agency.
In the video, filmed in the waters off Devonport, Auckland, in New Zealand, a man standing on the edge of a boat with an orca swimming beside it jumps off the vessel and seemingly tries to land on the nearby whale. After leaping off the boat, the man yells, “I touched it,” in reference to one of the orcas, and then asks others on the boat, “Did you get it?” Throughout the footage, other people can be heard cheering and laughing.
Maybe he has a baby orca’s brain.
I’m pretty sure they were bleeping out profanity.
I don’t think the writer of that article knows what a body slam is.
Yes, I don’t think a man can pick up an orca over his head.
This guy is still awaiting his fate. Another American, Bryan Hagerich, was given a suspended sentence and is back home in Pennsylvania.
The beer in New Zealand is either really, really good, or really really bad.
And that guy in the grocery store. Ummm. We really need to work on mental health.
I had a weird experience just the other day. Self check out. Girl in front of me done. I guess had CC problems or something. I set the 40lb bag of dog food down nearer the check out station (I was also hanging onto a bunch of bananas, something had to happen). She, barely audible said ‘Keep your distance’. I couldn’t her (I have bad hearing) and thought maybe she needed help. ‘Keep your distance’.
I don’t think this was a COVID type keep your distance thing at all.
It was a weird experience. She was young, perhaps 22. Purple hair fading on her brown hair. Nose ring and stuff.
Hey! Don’t think I’ve ever done this but “Keep Your Distance” would be a great band name!
I think they meant “belly flop”. And the author of the article was just quoting New Zealand’s Department of Conservation (hence why the words were in quotation marks).
The DOC shared the video on its Facebook page on May 21, noting that the footage shows “what appears to be a deliberate effort to touch or ‘body slam’ the orca.”
If a guy picked up an Orca out of the ocean and body-slammed it, now that would be something different.
