Title: Another candidate for a Darwin award!
Post by: Shelldrake on August 20, 2014, 02:27:49 PM
Yesterday Halifax police arrested a twenty-something year-old male who was wandering around a suburban walking trail wearing camo and a tactical vest with a couple of air rifles that resembled assault rifles strapped to his back. I don't know what this idiot was thinking as just two months ago 3 RCMP officers were killed and 2 others wounded in Moncton NB by a assault rifle-toting nut case in camo with a grudge against the cops. This latest idiot is really lucky he didn't get himself killed!

Maybe his plan was "suicide by cop".

Nah...saw his photo in the paper today. He is 35 and looks like he doesn't have 2 neurons to rub together.

Well, if he was looking to impress a potential sexual conquest, your observation would be accurate!  O0

QuoteOne of three teenagers who were trying to steal metal rods at an Alsip construction business died early Wednesday when 34,000-pound concrete and brick panels fell and pinned him....

"One of the pipes came loose, and another pipe, Dallas was trying to kick it, and when he did, the wall came down on him. They tried to get the wall off them, but the wall kept coming down," she said.

Her nephew had minor injuries to his ribs, she said.

"Why put your life in danger like that? Is it an adrenaline rush to know that you all can get caught?" she asked.

Alsip police Lt. Jay Miller said there's no fence around the yard, only "No trespassing" signs.

"They probably figure it's pretty hard to steal things that heavy," Miller said of the company.

The steel rods were "instrumental" in keeping the construction walls in place, and when Harden removed one or more of them, the walls fell, police said.
