@GtHawk

Given the probable IQ's of the people involved,I suspect it was something a lot more sophisticated than alcohol involved this "Hold mah......" discussion.

I dunno. In that case there would likely be tannerite.

Ohio man dies after homemade explosives explode in garage

DailyNews
KATE FELDMAN  6 hrs ago

An Ohio man accidentally blew himself up while making improvised explosive devices at home in his garage.

Michael Hopkins, 55, died Saturday from injuries sustained in the blast, which shook his Jefferson Township neighborhood, the Ashtabula County Sheriff’s Department said Monday.

Apparently he was making bombs 'for sale', to pay off his lawn mower.
Question: Who the hell is going to buy a freaking homemade bomb from a guy in his garage? And why? How would he advertise that he has bombs for sale?
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.

Southwest Airlines flight attendant bloodied, loses teeth in assault by rowdy passenger
The Dallas Morning News
 Tuesday, May 25, 2021 2:07 p.m.

A Southwest Airlines flight attendant lost two teeth and walked away bloodied after she was physically assaulted by a passenger Sunday morning, part of a disturbing uptick in traveler misconduct.

“This past weekend, one of our Flight Attendants was seriously assaulted, resulting in injuries to the face and a loss of two teeth,” TWU Local 556 president Lyn Montgomery wrote in a letter to Southwest Airlines management. “Unfortunately, this is just one of many occurrences.”

Southwest’s flight attendant union said there were 477 passenger misconduct incidents on the carrier’s flights between April 8 and May 15, including an incident Sunday morning on a flight landing at San Diego International Airport.  ...

A woman who shared a video of the aftermath of the incident on Facebook said the flight attendant told a passenger to keep her seat belt fastened while the plane was still moving. ...

@mountaineer

You can bet your bippy that unless they are related to a major politician,whoever did that is going to really get hammered for that. Judges ain't know to treat any violent action towards a commercial air crew lightly. IIRC,such things even violate federal laws.

All I can say to this is "sic 'em,Judge!"

Flight attendents already have too much crap to put up with from the public to have to deal with being physically assaulted on top of it.

... San Diego Harbor Police on Tuesday identified the passenger as Vyvianna Quinonez, 28, and said she was charged with battery causing serious bodily injury, a felony, local outlets reported.

The flight attendant, who was not publicly identified, was treated at a hospital and later released. Southwest said it flew a friend to San Diego to be with her.   ...

 Nude streaker hides in tube at Nationals game – and it doesn’t end well
By Ryan Gaydos, Fox News
May 27, 2021 | 8:41am
Quote
The Washington Nationals’ game against the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday night was suspended in the fourth inning due to the wicked weather that rolled through the Northeast.

The stormy situation didn’t stop a naked fan from getting onto the field at Nationals Park. The fan went over the centerfield fence and ran toward the tarp covering the dirt in the infield.

Once the man got into the tarp, he immediately slipped and fell.

In a scene straight out of the pages of “Benny Hill,” the man tried to evade security by running into the tube that holds the tarp in place. Security was able to handle the streaker after a few moments. ...

Priceless. It was a Mercedes Benz. The councilman is blaming the whole thing on poverty and lack of opportunities. It's not the fault of the teens themselves, of course.

... "This is a generational poverty issue," Brown told local news. "These kids, it's 12:30 in the afternoon. Why aren't they in school? Why aren't we enforcing systems to ensure that if they are not in school, they're in recreational centers?" he said, according to Fox News.  ...

Andy Ngo, Brown was indicted by the feds last year for defrauding banks.

Why aren't they in school?

Because the Democrats shut down all their schools, and refuse to open them again forever.

Don't hand your beer to a cop during a traffic stop
https://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/drunk-driving-game-warden-arrest-16257874.php
June 18, 2021

...The game wardens were patrolling near Lake Waco when they were cut off by the driver of a pickup.

The man then drove on the wrong side of the road before the wardens pulled him over, police said.

When wardens approached the truck, the man was having trouble turning down his music, they said. As he fumbled with the radio, he apparently handed one of the wardens an open beer so he could concentrate....

You got that one right, that's why for the most part we stay home.  Crazies are everywhere and liberal females are the worst!
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Professors Call For Hate Speech Protections To Be Extended To Animals

The need for speech criminalization is based on the view that “some animals do seem to have their social confidence eroded because of their awareness of the risk of violence.”
