Here is a fellow charged with a hate crime but if one reads his reasoning, he's absolutely nuts. Commit instead of punish? I'm not for leniency but this is crazy. Excerpted, there's more to the bizarre behavior at the link.
Definitely a psychopath. It sounds like he was on a self appointed mission from God and looking for a fight, Bernhard Goetz style.


Trivia note: The name of the restaurant is alAqsa. This is what the Muslims call the Jewish temple mount in Jerusalem.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The problem with guys like that is that if someone did stumble across a slave labor thing or the like, the nutters make the police a little less inclined to do anything.

'Don't bag up dog poo in countryside', animal owners urged
    13 March 2017

Dog walkers are being urged not to bag up their pet's poo in the countryside - but to use a stick and flick it into the undergrowth instead.


Conservative MP Anne Main will advocate the method during a Westminster debate as a way of reducing the number of plastic bags blighting the countryside.

Mrs Main says better signage is needed at the entrance of parks and open spaces so dog owners know what to do.

She says poo-filled bags hanging from trees are a nationwide problem.

Continued: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-39254072

Under the circumstances,  that sounds like the correct thing to do. In the US, raccoons and all kinds of creatures leave their scat out there, droppings, whatever is the correct term.

This guy went to McDonald’s and ended up just ordering a slice of cheese

Sometimes, less is more.

There are those days when all you want to eat is something simple, something delicious and yet uncomplicated in flavour and texture.

You don’t want pickles jostling next to juicy meat. There’s no need for a smattering of sauces.

And fortunately, restaurants and outlets are becoming a bit more sensitive to these sorts of whims.

Even at McDonald’s, for example, you can add and take away as many of the extras as you wish.

Indeed, you can even take away what some of us would consider to be the very essence of a burger meal.

Twitter user @coL_Merchant visited those golden arches a couple of days ago and decided to strip his lunch down to the very basics.

He ordered a cheeseburger and got rid of all the frills.

That included: no onion, sauces, pickles, meat patty and no bun.

In other words, he ordered a single slice of plastic-y American cheese.

More, and picture proof of being a complete idiot: http://metro.co.uk/2017/03/15/this-guy-went-to-mcdonalds-and-ended-up-just-ordering-a-slice-of-cheese-6510811/

No doubt he was an ass and got exactly what he ordered, the way he ordered it. Forty years ago you could order just a piece of cheese or meat or even a bun by itself. But if you were a jerk I would charge you as much as I could too.

You know, that is such an odd way to phrase something, you have to wonder if it was deliberate. I'm betting that there was some snickering by the author when he wrote that. It is too weird to be accidental.

It's the Metro. They excel at more juvenile humor, and yes, the word choice is always deliberate. Still they are amazing good at ferreting out ridiculous news stories - could fill the thread from them alone.

I tripped over a great article there about selling your knickers online...to "normal" blokes.  Just what do you guys call "normal" blokes?  (Scare quotes are in the story)

I now know what I never knew before.  I can buy used knickers on the interwebz.  Thank God and Al Gore!  (Actually not quite true.  I read an article in Cracked about a gal who made her college money doing that.)

Yup.  You read the same article.  That's where the big money was, too.

It's not just the guys who are into this. Been selling my skivvies to chicks online for years. At least I think they are chicks? Prices very depending on the brand, material, and how the purchaser wants them enhanced.
