Woman tossed from church service after cilantro mistaken for weed
Churchgoer beseeches accusers to smell the plant to confirm she didn’t bring drugs into the place of worship.

An Oklahoma woman is feeling anything but welcomed after she reports being kicked out of church for “weed” when, in fact, the green substance at issue was just cilantro.

In a recently posted TikTok video, which has since gone viral and is believed to be from the woman, she says she’s not looking to cause a fuss or gather sympathy. She’s just ticked that she was kicked out before any check was done to ensure the claim was, in fact, accurate. ...

In an interview with KOCO News, the woman reportedly said that she brought Menudo in a plastic bag with all the fixings, including onion, lime, cilantro and oregano. She and her sister planned to eat the meal at the church, as they had done before.

A church statement acknowledges the Nov. 14 incident involved “a person who was upset because the staff did not allow her to give a bag of food to a family member who is an inmate attending church services,” KOCO News reports.

The church is involved in a program that allows inmates to attend service. That said, inmates [I think they mean churchgoers] “are not allowed to give food items to the inmates to take back to correctional facilities,” it adds.   ...

I'm a cook, not a partaker of weed, but even I know marijuana doesn't look anything like this:


However, it appears the woman overreacted at least as much as people in the church.

I have done quite a bit of prison ministry with Residents Encounter Christ weekends, and there are VERY strict rules about what interactions are allowed with the inmates/residents. Any infraction at all can result in the shut down of the entire program if the warden decides to do so. At least for us, bringing food is a strict no-no, so it sounds like she was already pushing the limits.

Having said that, yeah, I would think one should be able to easily differentiate between weed and cilantro.

Why do I have the sneaking suspicion that if it had been a White Santa not a single damn would have been given?

It was the black folks in the neighborhood who reacted with outrage - some were interviewed on camera. They thought it sent a terrible message to children that Santa had a gun, not to mention the "MF" necklace.

I can see where the "MF" necklace would be a step too far.

There is something wrong with a My Friend necklace? We used my friend as an alternative, among others, when we were doing work in somebodies lab instead at new construction sites.

From England:
Quote
Teesside woman accused of exposing penis, using sex toy and masturbating in public
Chloe Thompson, 41, from Middlesbrough, has pleaded not guilty to the three charges
    by Georgia Banks
Gazette
    06:00, 25 Nov 2021  Updated 13:44, 25 Nov 2021
Okay, let's stop right there. Woman exposes whose penis? Hers? Well, then we're not talking about an actual woman, are we? Alright then, carry on:
Quote
A woman accused of indecent exposure, masturbating in public and using a sex toy in a public place, will stand trial early next year.

Chloe Thompson, of Borough Road, Middlesbrough, appeared at Teesside Magistrates' Court on Wednesday after denying the offences.

She is charged with committing a public nuisance by indecently exposing her penis to other members of the public, whilst masturbating from a property window.
There, now you've done it again. If this is a woman, it couldn't possibly be her penis she's exposing. Are the press somehow unaware that women do not have such body parts? 

Oh, here s/he is, trying to escape public scrutiny:


We'll wait to find out why this jackass is being referred to as a woman. Meanwhile, God save the Queen.

It really is mind-boggling how adult reporters can't seem to understand something so basic that even 10 year olds "get it".

Wait, this story gets even mo' better.
Quote
A transgender woman who was previously convicted of sexually assaulting a teenage girl, has been charged for allegedly exposing "her penis" to the public and masturbating from a property window. ...

Chloe Thompson, formerly Andrew McNab, is a sex offender convicted of carrying out a sexual assault on a teenage girl in 2011. Thompson was issued with a ten-year notification requirement order to alert authorities to Thompson's whereabouts and activities.

Earlier this year, Thompson violated the order for the 11th time since 2011. Thompson did so by creating an alias to go on TikTok, which is prohibited under the current guidelines of Thompson's legal penalty. ...

Bomb squad called to ER after a patient turned up with a WWII artillery shell lodged in his rectum

Damn near killed him
Bomb disposal experts were called to a hospital in Gloucester, England after a man told doctors that there was a World War II anti-tank shell lodged inside of him, authorities said.

The Explosive Ordnance Disposal team (EOD) arrived at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital on Wednesday morning after hearing that "a patient had presented with a munition in his rectum," a spokesperson for Gloucestershire Constabulary told Insider.

The item had already been removed by doctors by the time the bomb squad arrived, the spokesperson added, and the EOD confirmed that the shell was "not live" and "therefore not a danger to the public."

The Sun was first to report that the unnamed patient told doctors at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital that he "slipped and fell" on the two-inch-wide artillery shell.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

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.
