Confusing ... very confusing on several levels.

If she is a Vegan, then doesn't that mean she murders plants by eating them?
Also, while his tire may be slightly over the edge on the grass, she is stomping around all over the grass while making the point that grass is a living breathing thing.

Obviously she is mentally ill. He should have been the person 'calling the Police'.
Yeah, some part of her nutrition has been severely neglected. She's on bird legs and has heroin chic down pat. Makes about as much sense as a junkie, too.

 Park rangers are once again reminding the public to give wildlife their space after a woman from Upstate South Carolina was seriously injured by a bison out West.

A press release from the National Park Service says an 83-year-old woman from Greenville, South Carolina was gored by a bison on June 1 in Yellowstone National Park.

"The bison, defending its space, came within a few feet of the woman and lifted her about a foot off the ground with its horns," the release says.  ... The National Desk
A number of yeas ago Vergettte and I were on the island at the Great Salt lake. The Buffalo Roam free on the island. One came walking down the middle of the road like he owned it (Because in his mind he did) Al the traffic pulled off to the side. He walked in front of our Econo box rent a car. I jumped out and kept the car between he and I and managed to get a couple of good shots.

I don't know.....seems to staged for me.  :pondering: Even vegans have to eat plants to survive. I don't think they believe that they're killing living organisms when they chow down on tree bark, grass, and assorted weeds.
 Plus, the guy or someone in his family is recording this. Seems set up.

Robot commits suicide: ‘Depressed’ cyborg hurls itself down flight of stairs

By Peter Cordi
June 29, 2024 1:47 pm


A South Korean robot’s “suicide” is being investigated by the Gumi City Council after the cyborg hurled itself down a two-meter, or six-and-a-half foot, flight of stairs on Wednesday.

The now-defunct robot was appointed a city council officer in August 2023 and was capable of calling an elevator and moving between floors on its own.

A city council official spotted the robot “circling in one spot as if something was there” before the incident occurred, according to French outlet Agence France-Presse. It was later found unresponsive and “smashed” to pieces.

“Pieces have been collected and will be analyzed by the company,” a Gumi City Council official relayed.

Local media headlines circulated following the robot suicide, asking things like “Why did the diligent civil officer do it?” or “Was work too hard” for the cyborg?

Don't let your car tire touch the grass - even of your own front yard - if there's a vegan whackjob in the vicinity.
This is so over-the-top, some suspect it's parody. I don't know.

Man bitten in the testicles by 12-foot snake in bathroom worst nightmare: ‘Blood everywhere’
By Natalie O'Neill   
Published Aug. 21, 2024, 12:08 p.m. ET

This toilet attack was totally nuts.

A Thai man was bitten on the testicles by a 12-foot python while he sat on the toilet — so he beat the serpent to death with a toilet brush, leaving his bathroom splattered in blood, according to reports and stunning photos.

Thanat Thangtewanon felt a sharp pain after he took a seat Tuesday, so he reached down and grabbed the snake by the neck and tried to rip it off his privates, according to Asia Pacific Press.

“I felt something biting my balls. It was very painful, so I put my hands in the toilet to see what was wrong. I was shocked that I grabbed a snake,” he said. ...

I ask you, who hasn't experienced the same problem in their lives? I'm getting damn tired of those snakes sneaking into my bathroom and biting me in parts of my body where I don't wish to be bitten.
 But what can I do?  :shrug: The snake pit is right next to the bathroom. How they get the door open is beyond me.

Woman who murdered boyfriend in jealous rage over date with Miss Ohio is on the hunt for love

NZ Herald
15 Oct, 202

A US woman who shot her boyfriend in the face in a jealous fit of rage is looking for love with a new man from behind bars.



Shayna Hubers was sentenced to life in prison after she was found guilty of murdering her on-and-off boyfriend Ryan Poston while he was about to head on a date with Miss Ohio, Audrey Bolte.

According to court records, Poston 29, had tried to end his relationship with Hubers, 21.

During a police interview after her arrest, Hubers told detectives she was jealous of other women, saying she feared whether “anyone will ever want to marry me if they know that I killed a boyfriend in self-defence – not funny”.

Shayna Hubers (left) was sentenced to life in prison in 2018 after murdering her on-again-off-again boyfriend Ryan Poston in 2012.

She shot Poston six times in the face, back and torso before calling 911 where she admitted to the dispatcher that “I killed my boyfriend”.

She claimed Poston had pushed her and thrown her around in the lead-up to the shots being fired but three of her cell mates testified saying she boasted about giving Poston the “nose job he always wanted” and laughed about his death.

She told police he was “very vain” and that “one of our last conversations we had that was good was that he wants to get a nose job.”

“And I shot him right here. I gave him his nose job he wanted. I broke it.”

Two juries found her guilty of murder.

Inmate looking for love
Now, 12 years since the murders and six years since she married a transgender woman in a 30-second jailhouse ceremony, Hubers is back on the market and wanting to find love after splitting seven months following their wedding.

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.
