The Man Wasn't Even From Florida

 


This Nevada man didn't like the sentence the judge had just handed down, so decided to do something about it.

So he ran up to the judge and launched himself over her desk and flattened her.

So that probably wasn't such a good idea.

Now, instead of spending 2 to 4 years in prison for felony battery, he's now going to be locked up for 26 to 65 years for attempted murder.

I thought I heard his lawyer say, "Hey, where are you going?"

That's How It's Done

 


Unlike the ungrateful Nova Scotia high school principal who requested that veterans do not wear their uniforms on Remembrance Day for fear of triggering some of her students.

See Where Does It Stop?  for a sad reminder.

The above took place at the traditional - 125th - year end Army-Navy football game. 

The appropriate response to our veterans is, per the referee, "Thank you for your service."

Sharks hunting.......

Those crazy drones.  What will they think of next?

Drones at night, flying over New Jersey?

Finally A Good News Story...

 ...but it didn't start that way.

As Hurricane Milton bore down on Southwest Florida the first week of October, passersby were horrified to see a terrified dog tied to a fence in a water filled ditch on the side of I-75.


State troopers were dispatched to try and coax the understandably reluctant dog into their car. That dog didn't trust anybody. 

He was taken to the humane shelter where he was named, quite appropriately, Trooper. 

But he languished there for quite a while, as he was very apprehensive and agitated around any potential adopters. Especially males, like his former owner.

However, last week one couple came in and he immediately bonded with them, nuzzling them and looking relaxed.  Apparently the male, Frank, was an experienced bull terrier owner.



So now, the only question would be, would Trooper get along with Dallas, the couple's bull terrier.

Well that question was answered very quickly. Trooper and Dallas are inseparable. 




Oh, and one more bit of good news to this story; Trooper's former owner is awaiting his court date. He faces up to 5 years in prison if convicted. 

Sweet.....

That Didn't Take Long!

 


These two scumbags were convicted on all counts by a Minnesota jury.....in less than a week.

Way to go Minnesota jury!

This is the unsuspecting family that was led to its death on that freezing winter night. When the US border patrol finally found them, the boy was cradled in his father's arms.




The US prosecution said the two scumbags were part of an international smuggling ring they had been following for several years.  Flying back and forth between Toronto, Vancouver & Winnipeg and driving between Minnesota & Chicago.

What took so long...?

The last line of the article said it all:   "The RCMP have not made any arrests in Canada."       


Stay tuned for the sentencing....

What An Embarrassment

 


So Canada's Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, instead of condemning anti-Israeli demonstrators burning Montreal...


....was partying with Swifties in Toronto, like a frat boy.



He is truly an embarrassment.

A global embarrassment.


[Post Script:  the irony - or maybe the hypocrisy - is not only is he the Prime Minister of Canada, he actually represents a riding in Montreal, the city the pro-Palestinian, anti-NATO protesters are torching. Too busy partying to even care.]

Too Bad For Them......

 


...that they are being tried in the US.

These two tried to smuggle an Indian family - in Canada on phony student visas - across the Manitoba/Minnesota border in the dead of winter.

One dropped them in a field at the border and and the other was waiting for them in Minnesota.

Except the family froze to death first.

To bad for them - the scumbags in the picture, not the family - that the US authorities arrested them and not the Canadian.

And we all know why.

They would get a slap on the wrist here.

A sampling of the comments from the article....


...yup, just about covers it.

What Will They Think Of Next?

 


Those crazy Canucks!

But not the skiing types from the 1970's.


But these Canuks are still pretty crazy.



This is an annual competition in Whitehorse, Yukon, in way northern Canada.



Look up.  Way up!  And to the left.

Definitely not like those sissy towns like Toronto & Montreal that are way down.  And to the right.

So I guess they dunk themselves in water - hot water, I assume, from the name of the location, Nordic Hot Springs - then fling their heads, and subsequently their hair, around.

The results can be...shocking!






I'm guessing there might also have been something warm - or cold - consumed before the contest.




    





Fun for the whole family.




So good on them to make the best out of a cold situation.

Although hopefully a colder situation will be be upon them soon, as they had to cancel this year's competition.

...Florida Man? Is That You...?

 


Maybe that's the last Florida Man news article ever......

.

.

.

.

Post Script....

Sad ending. Well, of course a "bodyless head" washing ashore is a sad ending.  I guess this can now be called a bittersweet ending.



They identified that it was a 19 year old Miami man, who had gone into the water to rescue his younger sister from a rip current.  But never back it out himself.  A bypasser rescued his sister.

So sorry, Florida Man....

Man, He Still Looks Like A Mean, Old Son Of A Bitch

 


The other dude almost looks like he is thinking, did I make the right decision here....?

I guess we will find out later tonight.
