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.   ...
some pro-MJ site called The Growth Op

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.

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.

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.

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.

Florida Man Angry Over Neighbors' Parking Habits Uses Flamethrower at Occupied Car: Police

KATIE WERMUS  |  12/10/21  |  11:52 AM EST


AFlorida man used a flamethrower on a car with three teenagers inside after he was angry about a running feud with his neighbor's parking habits.

Andre Abrams, 57, admitted to using a flamethrower, which shoots flames up to 20 feet, towards his neighbor's parked car over what he says is a long-running feud over their parking. However, he denied targeting the teens, police said.

"This family, how could I say this—the worst thing that could ever happen to a neighborhood," Abrams said. "They've had issues with other residents, and it needs to be brought to light."

Armani Singleton, one of the three teenagers in the car, was sitting in the driver's seat when she and the others saw Abrams come towards them and start spraying fire before they escaped.

"You better not burn up my car," she said, according to police.

Ashley Gainey, the mother of one of the teens, confronted Abrams as he was shooting flames towards the vehicle.

"When I got to the door, he was still shooting it," she said. "I asked him, 'What is your effin' problem?'"

This isn't the first time Abrams has used a flamethrower in the neighborhood. Gainey said Abrams often sprayed flames to scare away visitors at her home.

"When he shoots it, it lights the whole road up," Gainey said. "It's like it's daylight outside. He'll do it in the middle of the night."

Secularist group targets decades-long tradition of laying wreaths on soldiers' tombs
Wreaths Across America is accused of taking part in an 'unconstitutional' act
By Kyle Morris | Fox News

A secularist non-profit organization that strongly urges separation of church and state in America is taking issue with Wreaths Across America's nearly 30-year tradition of placing wreaths on thousands of military graves.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) is calling out Wreaths Across America, telling the Colorado Springs Gazette that the organization's actions in placing wreaths on military gravesites around the country are "unconstitutional, an atrocity and a disgrace."  ...

"The gravesites of Christians and non-Christians alike will be adorned with this hijacked-from-paganism symbol of Christianity — circular and made of evergreen to symbolize everlasting life through Jesus Christ — whether the families of the deceased veterans like it or not," Rodda wrote.  ...

Weinstein, who is Jewish, concluded in his conversation with the Gazette that the process of laying wreaths should "be an aspect of respect," adding that it is "almost like a fundamentalist Christian gang sign to put a symbol of the Christian season of Christmas on any grave." ...
FOX News
This is the first I've heard there was Christian symbolism attached to a wreath.
 Would they have every circle-shaped object banned, too, or is it the pine that offends them?

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.

I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

A naturist once dubbed The Naked Carpenter has lost his appeal against conviction for walking through a town centre at night wearing see-through trousers.

Robert Jenner, 47, was stopped by police dressed in the black mesh trousers which revealed his buttocks and genitals.

Maidstone Crown Court heard he had worn the transparent garment without underwear to go drinking in a nearby Wetherspoon's in Maidstone, Kent, and was arrested in St Faith's Street at 11.20pm on January 19, 2020. ...

He denied having any intention to expose himself, claiming his fleece went lower than his waistline.

Accused by prosecutor Honor Fitzgerald of wanting to reveal his manhood to cause 'alarm or distress', Jenner said: 'No, never. That has never been my intention.'

The court heard statements from four Kent Police officers, who described his clothing as see-through and 'completely inappropriate'. ...

Box of human heads stolen in Denver

By Jesse O’Neill
March 5, 2022

A box of human heads intended for scientific research was stolen from a medical truck in Denver Thursday.

Someone broke into the parked truck in broad daylight and stole the box of human remains, along with a dolly, according to KVDR.

The macabre crime happened in Denver’s leafy Central Park neighborhood, the TV station reported.

The situation was “pretty shocking,” resident Isaac Fields told the station.

I'd like to know how my box of heads ended up in Colorado. Darn post office.

As for Netflix's black female Viking king, I have to say - as a descendant of a Viking king - I'm so triggered now I'm shaking! Quick, I need a coloring book and a safe space!
