FedEx Truck gets stolen while package is being delivered

jimnms says...

I always hear both FedEx and UPS shut their engines off when they deliver a package. Their trucks make a distinct sound when they pull up and shut down, then start up and leave. When I'm expecting a package, I'm always listening for that sound.

KO'ed Fighter gets choked out by ref when he keeps attacking

jimnms says...

Do you think this is normal in this sport? You're absurd analogies have nothing in common here. They don't pose a threat to anyone, but a trained fighter can still be a threat even when they are knocked silly. Do you think the ref should just sit there and get beat up?

I have seen a few times where a KO'd fighter gets up and tries to keep fighting thinking the ref is the opponent, but I've never seen a ref choke out the fighter before though. Refs are trained to handle these situations, and usually defend themselves from the fighter until they come to their senses or the corner team get there. Choking the fighter out may have been a bit extreme, but he stopped the fighter without causing harm the fighter.

There's nothing sane about boxing. Strapping giant gloves to your hands and punching each other in the head doesn't sound reasonably sane to me.

There's a misconception that gloves make fights safer. The purpose of gloves is to allow a fighter to punch harder without breaking their hands. MMA originally didn't use gloves, but to get athletic certification in most states they had to give in and use gloves.

Getting knocked silly, pausing the fight and giving a fighter 10 seconds to recover so they can get punched in the head more is far worse and more dangerous to a fighter's health than letting the fight continue to a KO, although in MMA, the ref should stop the fight when a fighter is not capable of defending themself.

I mean there is a lot of trash talking in boxing too, but boxing can be a reasonably sane competition, this MMA stuff is just imposibly stupid.

Porn for fossil fuel industry

What does end of life mean? Are they not capable of producing electricity or something? It's like people who buy a new, more fuel efficient car thinking they're doing the envoronment a favor, but fail to realize that most of the environmental pollution from a car is from building it.

Mom arrested after posing as 7th grade daughter in school

jimnms says...

What does her actions have to do with school shootings? She wasn't attempting to show how easy she could bring a gun into the school. Unless this mother never lets her daughter leave the house, she goes to more dangerous places than school.

If she's concerned about the security at the school, she should have brought her concerns to the school board or bring it up at a PTA meeting and asked that they conduct a security audit, instead of taking it upon herself to do it.

We're living in the safest time in history, but thanks to the 24/7 media fearmongering, people are overly paranoid. Schools are more like prison these days than schools, and schools are trying to extend their control over students beyond the classroom, and it's conditioning them to believe that it's normal to be controlled/watched everywhere and have no freedom.

Statistically, her daughter is more likely to be raped, murdered or abused by a family member or friend, not some stranger sneaking into school to go to math class and eat a free lunch.

And no, I wasn't implying the mother is an attention whore. I merely pointed out that school is the least dangerous place her daughter goes. But, she did record her actions... for attention.

First, she wouldn't need to break into the mall for obvious reasons unless the mall was locked up in which case her daughter or anyone else wouldn't be in there to begin with. The mall is a public venue so a disguise wouldn't be necessary. Usually visiting friends homes and/or sleepovers would not require a disguise either.

It's just speculation on your part where mom lets her child hang out and what safety precautions the child might take before and while visiting those places.

However, schools are becoming more secure in light of school shootings but more needs to be done and this was the point she was making. She was able to bypass the lax security at the school and was willing to pay the price for putting it to the test.

She wasn't there to kill anyone, just the poor security measures. If anything the school board or whoever should be fined.

This was not about her having "the right" to do what she did. She knew she didn't have "the right" but she did have the guts and a plan to expose the hole in the dam. Do you think a school shooter gives a shit about their rights to be in a school?

With my job I've picked up a few children on crime scenes that have been shot or stabbed to death and it's the hardest thing to witness and live with.

I hope you are able to refocus your priorities.

I'm willing to bet she lets her daughter go hang out with friends at the mall or other places, go to friends houses for the day or sleepovers. Does that giver her the right to break into those places to test security there too?

I don't understand how she didn't have a caregiver with her. Sounds like there might be more than the cop at fault here.
