No bond for man who shot himself in penis while robbing hot dog stand

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/man-who-shot-himself-in-penis-charged-with-west-pullman-robbery/

A 19-year-old man who shot himself in the penis after allegedly holding up a South Side hotdog stand Tuesday won’t be going home when he’s released from the hospital.

Terrion Pouncy remained at Christ Hospital recovering from his injuries on Thursday, missing a bond hearing at the Leighton Criminal Courthouse on two counts of armed robbery.

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.

Detroit, Michigan. The police department's 11th precinct decided to go undercover as a drug dealer in a sting on buyers. Meanwhile, the 12th precinct decided to go undercover as a drug buyer in a sting on dealers.

The end result: the cops ended up calling a sting on each other.

Ex-Alabama cop had to watch Roy Moore in case he harassed cheerleaders at ball games in the 80s
BY Elizabeth Elizalde  NEW YORK DAILY NEWS 
Tuesday, November 21, 2017, 3:26 PM

 
A retired Alabama police officer said she was told to keep an eye on Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore because he was known to harass teenage cheerleaders at local school ball games in the 1980s.

Ex-Gadsden cop Faye Gray told MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell that rumors of Moore liking young girls were heard on a daily basis and she was even informed that he had been suspended from Gadsden Mall because he would often target young female employees.

Jacks and timbers will get the thing high enough to back a lowboy under it. Pretty cheeky, tough.

Irish villagers complain Viagra plant fumes have men and dogs walking around with ‘hard-ons’
December 4, 2017,  By  Aidan Lonergan

RESIDENTS of a tiny Irish village where Viagra is manufactured have complained that fumes from a nearby factory have been giving them a hard time.

Pharmaceutical firm Pfizer have produced the erectile dysfunction drug in Ringaskiddy, Co. Cork for the last two decades.

Villagers claim that Ringaskiddy’s proximity to the plant and its “love fumes” has been giving local men – and even their canine friends – enormous sexual powers.

Barmaid Debbie O’Grady told the Sunday Times: “One whiff and you’re stiff. We’ve been getting the love fumes for years now for free"

@Cyber Liberty

In Ireland, the palatial estates are where the Noblemen live, and the tenements are for their surfs. It is made that way intentionally. They want their maids, butlers, horsemen, general laborers, glass blowers, archers, blacksmiths, etc. To be close at hand. Also, if there were ever an invasion from another Estate, they would have to get through the serfs before they could make it to the Keep.

And there's the occasional Maiden that needs "help."  Gotta love the Feudal system.  Can't really do that here because the serfs are not good picking.  Crack whores.
